Harsh things are, said in mil.
itary circles of the British tactics
which have made possible the
ambush of the Eighteenth Hus-
sars at Glencoe, and now the loss
of two fine regiments. 1t is feared
that Sir George White is no great
match for the Beers in that cum
ming by which Boer tactics are
conceived, and it is pointed out
that if the British commanders
continue to lead their men into
obvious traps further disasters
must be looked for
Sir George Whites honest ad
mission of tull responsibility and
the terms ot his dispatch are re
garded in some circles as virtually
placing his case in the hands of
the home authorities and it Is
even rumored late this evening
that the war office has already
decided to supercede him. The
report however is discredited in
well informed quarters.
About 5000 fresh troops will
arrive at Cape Town on Sunday
next from England and will be
available to reinforce Sir George
White. Transports will arrive
there daily after Sunday, until by
the end of next week $4,000
troops will have been landed in
South Africa. These men are in
tended for Gen. Sir Redvers Bull
ler's army. but they will un
doubtedly be detached to Natal if
the situation there should become
perilous. The British army will
eventually reach the, huge total
of S9,634 of which 69,634 will be
regulars and the other 10000
miscellaneous, but excellent colo
