spondent of The Daily News, in a dis

question of seizure of German vessels

MESSAGE FROM WHITE.

Commander at Ladysmith Reports the
Boers Driven Back.
LONDON, Jan. 0.-The war Office has
just published the following dispatch
from General Butler:
"Frere Camp, Natal, Jan. S.-The
following is from White, dated 2 p. M,
Sunday:
"'An attack was commenced on my
position, but was chiefly against
Caesars camp and Wagon Hill. The
enemy was in great strength and has
pushed the attack with the greatest
courage and energy. Some of the en-
trenchments on Wagon Hill were three
times taken by the enemy and retaken
by us. The attack continued until 1880
p. M. One point in our position was
occupied by the enemy the whole day.
But at dusk, in a very heavy rain
storm, they were turned out of this
position at the point of the bayonet, in
q most gallant manner by the Devons,
led by Colonel Pava. Colonel Ian Ham
ilton commanded on Wagon Hill, and
rendered valuable service. The troops
have had very trying time and have
behaved excellently. They were elated
at the service they have rendered the
queen.
The enemy were repulsed every
where with heavy loss, greatly exceed
ing that on my side, which will be re-
ported as soon as lists are completed

THE ASSAULT FAILED

SMITH At LAST REPORTS.

Situation of tho Boleaguered Garrison,
However, Is Worse, as Much OF Its
scant Store of Am m unition Must Have
Been Expended-Didicultie Confront.
ing Buller as Great as Ever.
LONDON, Jan. 9.-General White
still holds out or did so 60 hours ago
when the Beers, ousted from their foot
hold inside the works. suspended their
assault at nightfall. England has
taken heart. The situation, however,
is worse. The beleaguered force must
have expended large amounts of am
munition, which cannot be repienished,
and must have lost number of officers
and men, which is counterbalanced, so
far as the garrison is concerned, by the
greater loss of the Beers. General
White still needs relief and the diff
culties confronting General Butler are
as great as before. The formers un-
vanished sentences, read and re-read,
tell how hard the town was pressed and
how nearly his force of 5000 men were
overpowered.
mmunition His Greatest Need.
The greatest concern for General
White is his supply of ammunition.
When the siege began his ammunition
supply was vaguely described as
"plenty." His artillery then had 300
rounds per gun. Some of the batteries
have been in action frequently since
then and all were probably engaged
last Saturday. His stock of shells con-
sequently must be low and this will
make it difficult for General White to
cooperate in a movement by General
Butler.
The trenches at Ladyslnith, as de-
scribed by message which left a day
or two before the fight and has just
come through, are fortified hills, we'll
covered with rife pits and trenches,
down which the infantry move in sim
gle file to the various posts in absolute
safety. Full rations are still served,
but there is no whisky or tobacco.
