SUMMARY OF SITUATION.
BRITISH ATTACK MAY CHECK THE BOER
ADVANCE.
SUPERIOR TACTICS OF THE TRANsVAAL
TROOPS-IIOW THE BATTLE
WAS FOUGHT

InY CABLE TO THE 1piarvr.l


London oct. 81. 6 a. mi-"The Tines and
"The Standard" war correspondents give good
descriptions Of the battle between the British
and Beers at Ladysmith yesterday. Neither
correspondent speaks of a British victory. and
evidently the naval brigade which had landed
at Durham from tie cruiser Powerful. arrived
on the scene in the nick Of time to prevent a
disaster to the bluejackets, the heavy guns
doing great execution
From The standard's' report there appears
to have been a long artillery duel. which ended
In the temporary silencing Of the Boer guns.
Then the British right column was launched
against a strong body Of burshers near Lom-
bard's Kop. five miles northeast of Ladysmlth.
and ultimately drove them from it. Beyond,
however. was broken ground anording such
good cover to the Beers that the British guns
could not expel them from it, The infantry
again advanced, and were suddenly attacked
in flank so vigorously that they were compelled
to change front in order to beat off the foe.
once more they advanced. when they were
threatened by counter attack. and found
themselves under fire SO heavy that nearly
the whole centre column had to be thrown into
the fight TO disenglge them.
The ir ltry fell back under cover Of the ar
tilery fire. and after four hours fight Cen
eial White drew off his troops and returned to
Ladysmith.
There can be no doubt that the Beers have
either studied the theory Of tactics with re-
markable success or are commanded by skill
full European officers The general result Of
yesterdays operations is 70 check the B9er ad-
vance and to gain time for the approach Of the
British reinforcements. Sir Redvers Butler can
not possibly reach the front, however, before
the end Of the week although his arrival at
Table Bay was reported at late hour last
night The British force at Rhodes Drift under
Major Wilson has fallen back to Tuu. owing to
the numerical superiority Of the Beers

ENEASLNESS IN LONDON.
FEARS EXPRESSED FOR RESULT OF THE
BRITISH ATTACK.


London. oct. 3l.-There was a general feeling
Of uneaslness at every London clubhouse last
night when the bulletin from the War Office
was posted. Earlier in the day there had been
rumors that the Beers had advanced on Lady
smith and had begun fire Of shells with their
40-pounders. but that the British artillery had
sNenced the Boer guns. It was also reported
that General Joubert had ordered an advance
in great numbers upon the British left flank
and that battle was in progress
General Whites report or 50 much Of It as
the War Office chose to give out. described an
indecisive engagement, preceded by mysteri-
Gus movement TO clear his left flank. with no
details Of the return Of the two battalions OF
the Royal Irish Fusers and the Gloucester
Regiment Experts shook their heads solennly
IN commenting upon General Whites account OF
the stampede OF battery mules and his doubt
ful expression Of hope that the guns OF the
mountain battery would be recovered.
WHITE on THE OFFENSIVE.
As for the general engagement. It was clear
that General White had brought It on. and had
not been attacked by General Joubert. II he
were in command General White had sent out
two brigade divisions Of artillery and five bat
talons Of infantry, covered by the cavalry un-
der General French to attack the position where
the enemy had planted their guns The Beers
were not where their guns had been, but they
were further behind. massed in great strength
and prepared TO fall back upon their reserves.
The British We're drawn on FOR several miles,
but finally returned to camp after an indecisiye
engagement = several hours.
SO, q single line Of this dispatch could be
made to spell out victory. The disappearance

tery which bafied the ingenuity OF the optimists
who attempted to explain 1t. There was gen.
