That Beers Are About to Abandon Siege
of Ladysmith.
LONDON, Dec. S.-General Buffers ar
rival at Freere is held to indicate that
all the preparations for an advance to
the relief of Ladysmith are complete
and that stirring news will soon be re-
ceived. The fact that Lord Methuen is
almost the same moment is interpreted
i'll some quarters to mean that battles
will be fought simultaneously at Natal
and at Speytfontein. 1t appears doubt
full, however, whether General Me-
thuen's force is ready for what viii
evidently be a heavy encounter. The
construction of the temporary bridge
across Modder river has entailed enor
NOUS labor, and even the structure is
liable to be washed away should a heavy
storm come General Methuen has
been obliged to move his camp mile
north in consequence of the unsanitary
state of the stream, owing to the pres
ence of the bodies of dead Beers. As
the railway bridge was completely de-
stroyed, he was compelled to leave a
considerable force to protect his COM
munications. A special correspondent
sends the interesting information re-
garding Boer tactics, that Commandment
General Joubert has given general or
ders to reserve fire until the British are
within 400 yards. At the Modder River
battle the Free State burghers became
nervous, opened fire prematurely, thus
revealing their position and frustrated
the Boer plans.
The Morning Post publishes an arti-
Gle warning the British public that the
establishment already experienced re-
specting the Boer forces in Natal is
likely to be repeated on the western
border.''
1t says men are wanted everywhere
and asks why the splendid body of
royal marines is now being employed in
sweeping floors and washing paint in
England and is not sent out to handle
the naval guns instead of the hurriedly
trained men, unfamiliar with these
weapons, who have gone, The govern
ment has decided to dispatch to South
Africa at the earliest possible moment a
cavalry brigade of about 1000 men.

Sir Isaac Newton that the only genius

perhaps Florence's own words might
