WILL MAKE ANOTHER ATTACK.


After which the Boers Will Probably
Withdraw From Ladysmith.
London, Eng. Dec. Ga budget of
Eews from Ladysmith, which arrived
today, brings the history OF the be-
leagured garrison up to November Goth.
In spite of the rumors of retrograde
movement upon the part of the Beers,
the stories just received show that the
garrison, although still strong, was
suffering from confinement, restricted
diet and the increasing volume of the
Boer artillery fire, especially that OF
the additional heavy oaibre CUR placed
in position 5000 yards from the western
defences. The dispatches relate that the
Beers had discovered the most vulner-
able points of the garrison. and that
the Smelling was becoming disagreeably
effective, The rations had been reduced,
and there was great deal of sickness.
Nevertheless, the troops of the garrison
were in every way preparing to meet
the assault which, it was expected,
the Beers would carry out in final
effort to reduce the city. The belief
was current in Ladysmith that the
Beers were preparing for a retrogfade
movement after another attack. Several
bodies of burghers were reported to
have been seen November 2Sth moving
in the direction of the Drakensburg
range, while November 29th detach-
ments were observed journeying north
ward with wagons. Discard between
the Transvaalers and Free Skaters was
also reported. There was no indication,
however, that the Beers we're preparing
to dismantle their gun position, but
the idea was prevalent in some quarters
of Ladysmith that the continued she'll
ing of the place was intended to cover
the retirement of other Boer forces
toward the Transvaal frontiers.
The Pretoria dispatch of December
I'd, however, announces that q Boer
council of war was planning renewed
assault on I.adysmith. A dispatN,sr
dated December. Sd reports thar W.
Col. Lord Dundonald's reconnoi ~
near Colenso, Is Beers were killessSe9s
many wounded. The road bridge a6&aa
the Tugela River was intact. TIA
same message reports that PresidentA
Kruger was anxious that the burghers
leave Ladysmith, in order to oppose
the British marching in the direction
of Pretoria from the West.
Advices from Putterskraal, the head
quarters of Gen. Gatacre's division,
dated December Cd, say the Beers
entered Dordrech that morning. This,
it is said, is probably Gen. Grobler's
force of 1,5O0 men fom Stormberg.
