LONDON (By Cable).-The War once
Thursday received the following dispatch
from General Butler.
"Lyttleton's Headquarters, Peters Sta

Natal Oarbineers and a composite regi-
mont. entered Ladysmith Wednesday night.
"The country between me and Lady

This message from General Butler and
nounced the relief OF Ladysmith and the
salvation OF General Whites arm Just In
the nick OF time, whom provisions were
practically exhausted and fever had thinned
the ranks Of the troops.
The siege had lasted just four months,
for it was on October % that General
Joubert locked up the British In the Alder
shot Of Natal.
In breaking his way through tho Boer
defenses Butler has lost nearly 5000 men
killed and wounded, while Whites losses
reached 2460 killed, wounded and cap
tured, making o total OF nearly 5000 for
the -four months siege.
The Beers, after the capture Of Peters
Hill on Tuesday by General Barton, with
the Dublin Fusiliers and two ~battalions OF
the Sixth Brigade, seemed to fade away
There was no general retiring movement
observable, but they simply disappeared as

ment caused when the Boer achievements
which tried to relieve General Cronje were
defeated by our troops OF February %. l
resolved, therefore, to bring pressure to
bear on the enemy.
Each night the trenches were pushed
forward toward the enemy's lager, so as
to gradually contract his position, and at
the same time I bombarded 1t heavily with
artillery, which was on Monday materially
aided by The arrival OF four six-inch
howitzers which I had ordered up from
De Aar.
''In carrying out these measures a cap
tive balloon gave great assistance by keep
ing us informed of the dispositions and
movements OF the enemy.
'At 8 a. m. Tuesday q most dashing ad-
vance was made by the Canadian regiment
First Gordon Highlanders and Second
Shropshires, resulting in our gaining a
point some 600 yards nearer the enemy and
within about eighty yards Of his trenches,
where men i~ntrenched themselves and
maintained their positions till morning.

rades, and which, I am glad to say, was at

"This apparently clfnched matters, for at

of.the big .trekking wagons with which
they surrounded their lager.
The wonder is that General Oronje was
able to hold out as long as he did. Al
though the position was regarded hopeless
since General Roberts caught up with him,
military men see q method in the madness
OF C~ronje's resistance. By occupying the
attention OF Roberts's main force, the gal
liant Cronje gave the Beers time to hurry
achievements to Bioemfontein and to
makes strong a second line OF defense, either
at Bloemfonteln or further north In the
hills near Winburg.
Cronje left Magersfontein on the night
OF Thursday, February Is, trekking east
ward across the front OF Roberts big army
and eluding the cavalry OF General French.
Roberts soon got wind of the fact that his
bird was flying, and the mounted infantry
started In pursuit. The infantry, under
Kelly-Kenny, followed by forced marches

OF the Modder River IN the vicinity Of

ing hasty preparations for q stand On
Saturday and Sunday, February IL and 10,
at attempt was made to take Cronje's po-
sttion by assault, but again the Beers dem
onstrated their ability to stand of infantry
attacks, and the British were treated to a
deadly fire, against which they could not
advance.
On Monday, February 10, General Rob-
erts arrived. He saw the futflity OF at
tempting to storm the Boer position and
ordered a cessation Of these tactics. In
stead, he brought up the artillery around
the Boer laager and opened q terrific bonn
bardlnent, meanwhile employing the In
fantrY in an attack on the Boer reinforce
ments, who were coming to Cronje's relief.
Until Thursday the bombardment con-
tinued unabated. and 1t was reported that
the "Lion OF Africa" was ready to surren-
der. These reports, however, proved pre-
mature. Friday the British bOmbardment
had slackened, Roberts evidently thinking
1t poor policy, even II war, to turn the lit
! tie Boer camp Into shambles.
