IoypoN. OCT. 24.-In the absence OF news OF
further important operations In South Africa
attention Is chiefly concentrated on Gen.
Lord Wolsclcy's summary of tho situation.
which was read in tho House OF Com mons yes
,.rd,y. This represented the situation exist
inc early Monday morning as 1t was under
stood at the War ONCE.
Itisundeniable that the summary occasioned
anxiety, which was increased by the fact that
mo news has been received from the Glencoe
camp for more than thIrty-six hours
uhua the latest dispatches from Lady
.rith seem to imply considerable uncertainty
nj. Lslieved here that Gen. Yule's position
with probably no more than 5000 men, is
certainly critical. in view OF the fact that Gen
Joubert with 5000 Beers. is within striking
Distance OF him. while there Ia still another
Boer force at Waschbank.
The Mp,mino Post. the organ OF polite lingo
ism, is in terrible state OF apprehension. 1t
makes 10 secret of the fact that its anxieties
have received too weighty confirmation
from Gen wolseoy's statemet. which.
II SAYS. apparently makes 1t certain that Gen.
Yule has been forced to abandon his camp and
wounded and. no doubt. his prisoners at Dun
de-. and fall back on Glencoe. That such an
Abandonment was an imperative neees-
sty does not call for proof. Hence
Gen Wolseley's admission shows him to
be fully aware OF the gravity OF the situation.
md his reticence may be interpreted to con zeal
its more serious development. For that we
can but wait. without critcising the line OF
action which. however hazardous. must. 1t
seems had reasons behind it which we could
MT know"
Meanwhile the correspondents furnish de-
tails o, the fighting at Elandslaagte which
confirm the reports Of the magnificent brav-
cry OF the Beers in face OF their equally
intrepid enemy. The Dutchmens artillery
practice was excellent. far superior. says one
correspondent to anything they have yet
shown.
The story Of the capture OF Gen. Cronje.
which. II true. will be serious blow to the
Beers. should be doubted until 1t is con-
frmed.
Mr.. Wyndham. Parliamentary Secretary OF
State for War. in the House Of Commons gave

lAborers. The union label will be placed on all
