strong. under command o! General lou.
bert and President Kruger in person, are
today again attacking Glencoe.
Colonel Yule, who is in command OF
the Britain troops. has moved his camp
back into better defensive position.
Another dispatch from Ladysmith, Ma.
tai. dated AIS Sunday afternoon has jus,
been received. |, is general repetition
of Cape Towns Glencoe advices of yes
terday. and ii is regarded as somewhat
ominous that nothing has since been re-
ceived respecting the result. especially
when viewed in the light Of Lord Wolse
ley's statement that General Yule's force
felt it necessary to retire from Dundee to
Glencoe Junction.
General Yule is evidently in a tight
corner, as he now has OF had to face the
main Boer army under General Joubert.
General Sir George Stewart White,
the British commanderin chief in Natal,
will undoubtedly detach part OF the force
which was,vic,orious at Elandslaagte to
his assistance,
Such detachment. however, will leave
Ladysmth poorly protected against the
threatened attack from the west, as Gen
eral Hunter on Saturday wired that the
departure of the force to Elandslaagte
left him with only couple Of battalions
of regulars. a mountain battery aud 500
Natal volunteers to defend the town,
which is the British military base in
North Natal. Further news. therefore.
is anxiously awaited.
