HEAVY STORM RAGING

at Frere Camp and Roads Impassa-
ble-There Has Been No Firing at
Ladysmith or colenso-Boers Are
Holding Mount HiangwanO, and
Bridge Over Tugela Has Been
Swept Away.
LONDON. Jan. 1s.-The Daily Tele-
graph has the following dispatch dated
January g. from Frere Camp:
IA heavy storm has been raging all
night and there is every prospect that
1t win continue. The roads are i'm
passable, and the rivers and spruIts are
full.
There mas been no firing at Lady
smith or colenso. The trenches must
be filled with water The Beers are
holding Mount Hlangwano, but they
are certainly quite isolated, as their
bridge over the Tugela must have been
carried away"
An apparently well informed cOrres-
pondent Of the Morning Post says;
1.-THE Boer strength, originally 5000
men, is now heavily augmented by Cape
ColonIsts and the enemy's fighting
forces may be estimated fairly at 100000
men and s06 guns. The Beers are not
compelled to guard their communica-
tions. Their grass is good, the crops
are growing. vegetables, cattle and
sheep are plenty and game is abund-
ant"
Apart from the definite news that
General Butler has comenced a second
attempt to cross the Tugela river, the
only official news this morning ia the
list of casualties among the British
officers in the fight at Ladysmlth, Sat
urday. January G. showing thirteen
killed and twenty-seven wounded.
Among the latter was Lieutenant Colo
mel william DIck-Cunyngham, v. c.,
commander OF the Second battalion Of
the Gordon Hlghlanders since 1897. who
has since succumbed to his wounds. he
was Intensely popular everywhers and
his death will cause widespread sorrow.
General Buffers movement, obvious
w. Is OF a flanlslng character, but
whether it is intended to push the ad-
vance home or whether his operations
are only a fein! to cover an attack in
force on the Boer position at Hang
wano mountain, remains to be seen.
The war office, this morning, received
the following dispatch from General
BulIer, dated Springfield, Thursday,
