Admiral Dewey's health has been

by the time he reaches New York. The
details OF the ports at which ne will cali

that stops will be made Mt Singapore

omcials at the war Office last even
ing said that very few dispatches have
arrived, and that nothing further was
to be expected until morning,
Since Il is practically certain that
General iule has now affected n june
ton with General White. and as both
are now In position OF safety, the con-
lecture concerns itself chiefly with the
manner Of General Yule's retreat. That
II was hasty is evident Was It disor-
Derby? Was there any fightng on the
way2 Such questions and others like
them the public is anxiously asking.
Since the receipt OF General Whites
curious frst description Of the Lady
smith fight in which the British lost a
hundred men little reliance can be
placed on the official dispatches.
While the concealment OF facts re-
garding General Yule's retreat can be
amply justified on the ground OF keep
ing the intelligence from the Beers, the
hiding Of news respecting the Hussars'
ap1 Fusileers, who We're apparently
captured In the battle of Glencoe, Isl
severely criticised, no intimation even
having been given that the officers were

disciplined men who can shoot fairly
straight and stand their ground.
General Sir Redvers Butler is expect
ed to arrive at the Cape early next
week. There Is every probability that
are now moving up.
This is calculated to hasten General
Joubert's attack on Ladysmith, and
news of a big battle is daily ex-
pected.
