an indication that the Boer Investment
has been relaxed by the withdrawal OF
a portion of General Joubert's force
southwark
While, however, the anxiety in regard
TO the immediate stress of Ladysmith
is alleviated, there is a widespread feai
that the authorities are badly blum
dering and may lind too late that the
main expedition will prove too weak To
complete its task with safety and dis
patch. as the Natal force has already
admittedly failed to perform what was
expected of it.
The confession last evening of Gen.
eral Lord Wolseley, the COMMANDMENTS
chief, that the Beers were more power
ful and more numerous than had been
anticipated, sufficiently explains the
present happenings. and the war Office
will hereafter have awkward questions
10 answer in regard to its apparent
colossal ignorance of the Boer strength,
which both in numbers OF men and ex-
cellence of artillery is apparently a
complete surprise to the British mill
tary authorities. Mail news from South
Africa shows how inaccurate have been
the estimates of the intelligence de-
partment and the government experts.
ii is CLEANED therefrom that fair es-
innate of the Boer forces is as follows:
Arond Ladysmith. $4,000; traversing
Zululand. 1000: advancing on Burghers-
dorp, 5000; Colesburg, 5000: Kimberley,
l,OOO; Mafeking. $500, and on the north
ern Transvaal border, 1000. Exact in
formation about the Boer artillery is
lacking, but it is known General Jou-
bert's detachment before it was rein
forced consisted of sixteen krupp field
pieces of the latest pattern and two
heavy CruZol siege guns, which, but for
the opportune arrival of the British
naval brigade. would have rendered
Ladysmith untenable.
In connection with the naval guns
a most interesting and complete ex-
pertinent has been successfully carried
out at Cape Town with a 4.7-inch gun,
so serviceable at Ladysmith. One of the
British cruiser Terrible's guns mounted
on Scott travelling carriage was fired
in the same way as a field gun with en-
tire success. The Terrible, with a num-
Der of guns thus mounted, is on her
way to Durham. and though the guns
cannot now reach Ladysmith, they may
be of great value in the defense of Pie
termaritzburg, which, it seems, will
probably have to stand siege. The
arrival of the Terrible with the relief
crews for China and other available
men must have placed in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 more men at the service
of the military authorities.
interesting news comes from the
channel squadron at Gibraltar. showing
precautions against all eventualities al
most unknown in European waters in
peace times. On the way TO Gibraltar
the fleet spread out four miles apart,
and a sharp outlook was kept for sus-
piciouS craft At Gibraltar extra sem
tries are posted at night at different
parts of the ships with ten rounds of
ball cartridges each.
The small guns on the upper deck
and in the fighting tops are kept ready
for immediate use, the ammunition
being on deck, a few men sleeping at
the guns, the searchlights are kept
working. all boats are hailed and not
allowed to approach without the per-
mission of the officer of the watch.

accurate and we'll sustained, but inef-
fective. The British cavalry was con-

close enough to prevent this.
Cavalry and artillery under Colonel
Brocklehurst about noon drove the
enemy from all their positions with
great slaughter. This attack was di-

were slight.
