Gen. White Makes the Charge
in Report to Gen. Butler.
Ample Provisions at Ladysmith--Fear
Expressed That He is Short Of
Long Range Ammunition.

London, Nov. 0.--The war office has
received from General Butler the fol-
lowing:
Cape Town, Thursday evening. Nov.
9.-Have received by pigeon post from
General White today the following:
The bombardment at long range by
heavy guns continues daily.
A few casualties are occurring but no
serious harm is being done. The Beers
sent in today a number OF refugees from
the Transvaal under a flag OF truce. A
flag OF truce from Ladysmith met them
outside the pickets. When the party
separated the Boer guns fired on II be-
fore IL reached our pickets. Major Gale
OF the Royal Engineers was wounded
today while sending a message.
The entrenchments are growing daily
stronger and the supply of provisions
IS ample.
White the pigeon dispatch Of General
White shows the beleaguered garrison
was holding its own yesterday II is
feared here that the silence regarding
what the British artillery was doing in
reply TO the Boer guns indicates that
the dread that General White is short
of long range ammunition is not alto
gether groundless. If this is true the
further destruction of the railroad near
Colenso assumes greater Importance.
