General Methuen's force is reported TO nave

the last battle was fought. At late hour no
official confirmation has been received OF the

Boer accounts of the Colenso battle are mod

burghers are not unduly elated by their victory
on the Tugela.
In a general way the situation has improved
on the English side. There is no light. but there
is a sense Of departing darkness, and the Eng

their faith in their own destiny one Of the

According TO "The Chronicles" correspondent
,bA British mounted infantry and irregular
oorns with two batteries Of artillery managed
20 take the Colenso road bridge and eventually
crossed the river but the Boer rife fire prevented

abandoned. Seemingly the guns were lost on
the north side of the Tugela, and. If So there is
little apub: that they were captured.

BOERs THINKING OF PEACE TERMS.

INTIMATION TO THEIR AGENTS THAT THE
CONDITIONS WOULD BE MODERATE.
London. Dec 2O-The Madrid correspondent of
"The Standard" says:
The Boer governments have recently intimated
TO their agents In Europe their readiness 10 pe
moderate in regard to peace conditions.
The chief anxiety of the burghers Is as 10 the
question Of receiving supplies by way or Lou

The gravity of the military situation Is again

been heard from Lord Methuen' since Sunday

telegraphing from Modder River last Saturday,
says:
The Boer position, already formidable on De-

there is every evidence that the Beers are wen

"Tbe Times" in an article from the pen OF a
military expert, laments the dispersion OF the
Rritish forces quotes the maxim or Napoleon III
favor Of concentration and regrets that LORD
Metbuen did not retire to orange River week
ago.
The latest dispatches received seem 10 snow
that the British forces are standing on the de-
fensive at all points. General Butler is ordering
the troops now arriving at Cape Town TO pro-
ceed To Durham to reinforce the Natal column.
Absence Of news from him has led to a surmise
that he is trying to join General White by

A. J. Balfour in his unofficial capacity has
written TO the Earl OF Haddngton dwelling upon
the importance of the movement to raise yeo-

LORD ROBERTS IN LONDON.
A TALK WITH THE NEW LEADER OF THE
BRITISH ARMY.

bkiIlSh ARMY.
London. Dec. 2O.-General Lord Roberts. who
is to have full command of the British troops in
South Africa. accompanied by Lady Roberts and
their two daughters, arrived in London this
morning. having travelled from Dublin with Mr..
Chamberlain. Their departure from Dublin was
marked by cheering crowds. but the General
made quiet entry into London. After going to
a private hotel, he spent about an hour at the
War Office in consultation with the Marquis of
Lansdowne. the Secretary of State for War.
Then General Roberts returned 10 the task Of
packing his effects and interviewing the officers
selected for his staff.
When Little Bobs" the beloved Of Tommy
Atkins" received representative OF The Asso-
ciated Press he was dressed in the deepest black.
in vivid contrast with his snow white hair and
mustache His dapper little figure as
straight ever. but the keen eyes that have so
often scanned British victory were slightly
dmmed by the great personal sorrow that has
befalen him. But in spite OF this and the multi
tude Of details that claimed his attention, Gen
eral Roberts willingly assented to send through
The Associated Press a parting message to the
American people and gave the following state
ment:
Circumstances naturally forbid my speaking
ABOUT the campaign anead OF me, except W SelS
that have entire confidence In the British SOL
der and that believe the traditions Of our army
will be upheld in South Africa.
For the friendly interest and sympathy exhib-
tied by many Americans am most deeply CRATE
full. feel the justice OF our cause merits
this. Though may be at war, can safely
say that no unnecessary harshness and no acts
OF inhumanity will mar the fair name OF this
branch Of the Anglo Saxon race. cannot too
warmly express my admiration for the spirit
which prevails in our colonies. The action or
Canada will always be a glorious page In the
history OF the sons Of the empire. look for
great things from the men she has sent and IS
sending to the front.
The reports which indicate that disloyalty ex-
lists in the Irish regiments are absolutely untrue.
In the hour OF danger my countrymen have ever
been among the first 10 lay down their lives Tor
their Queen and country. and. whether II be
against the Beers or men Of any other national
ity the Irish soldier will be found loyal TO his
Queen and brave in battle.
The little Irish General who goes 10 South
Africa to redeem Great Britain's military pres
tge then added:
You cannot deny those reports OF Irish dis
loyalty too strongly.
II was learned that General Roberts entertains
a great friendship for General Kitchener though
they have never served together. and that the
combination of generalshp creates the greatest
satisfaction IN military circles. AS one officer OF
General Roberts's staff said:
1T really makes life worth living once again"
1.-THE Globe" says there are rumors that the
Duke OF Connaught will succeed General Lord
Roberts as commander in chief of the forces in
Ireland
