Lieut.. Gen. Butler will go within a
week or two to investigate the situa-
ton for himself
There is also possibility of a move

miralty notice regarding the transports

news Of their movements is to be sup
pressed.
Stormberg was understood TO be the
depot where stores. tents. guns, ammu-
milton and all the commissariat details
of the third division We're in process of
accumulation. The stores have been
removed to Queenstown and an obvious
explanation of their removal arises out
of the Boer advance north.
In view of the near approach of British
achievements a Boer invasion of Cape
Colony could hardly be regarded very
seriouslv. There may, therefore, be an
other reason for the withdrawal, and the
stores destined by repute for Queenstown
may be intended for East London or Dur
ban. 1t may be General Buffers intention
to send on Col. Methuens division to the
assistance of Natal. For the use of that
division i division may be intended of
some of the stores of the third division
which are in the handiest position to be
forwarded
Reports that Rosmead and Naauw
Poort are also to be evacuated seem to
corroborate the idea that Gen. Buffers
first business will be to relieve General
White. 1t is believed that the Orange
Free State commanders now have II 900
men concentrated against Kimberley and
on the Free State southern frontier OPP
posed to them are only 1000 British
troops.
1t is CLEANED that a fair estimate of the
Boer forces is as follows: Around Lady

advancing on BurghersdOrp. 5000; Coles
burg, 3oO0 kimberley. 1000: Mafeking, $500.

tlliery is lacking. but it is known that
Gen. Jouberts detachment before it was
reinforced consisted of IL krupp field

heavy CruezOt siege guns which but for
the opportune arrival of the British naval

Freshmen went to the Bay View and took
supper together, SO that If an attempt
was made to steal one Freshman the
others could give assistance. On account
of the numbers the usual attack was not
made by the Sophomores.
The reception was held at the Coburn
chapel, departure being made from the
usual custom of having it at the home
of some person in town. The chapel was
prettily decorated with the college colors

made very attractive appearance.

Gen White had ascertained that the
Beers were attacking Colenso, but he was

Gen Whites division caught the Beers
