London Comment.
LONDON. March S.i q. m Lord

Osfontein and In the evening from Pop
lar Grove, II miles eastward. By an eN-
position Of the elementary principle OF
strategy the BOer positions 10 miles

named, at 10000 men, and sent 1000
horsemen and horse artillery in a bold

Bluejackets at Durham.
1 DURHAM, March S.-The naval bri-
gade from Ladysmith arrived today in
command of Capt Lambton. They
number about 200 and were enthusias-
tically received. The railway station
was lined with men from II. NJ. S. Ter
rible, and the meeting of the comrades
caused many touching scenes.
When the gunners, who played such
an important part in the defence of
Ladysmith, marched down the street
headed by the band and flags of the Ter
rible, carrying the tattered Union Jack
of II. NJ S. Powerful, which had flown
throughout the siege of Ladysmith, the
cheering was tumultuous. The crowd
which assembled was immense.
Lunch was served in shed adjacent
to the railway and the men ate heart
lily. The majority of them looked well
but showed signs of the rough work
and fatigue they had undergone. Their
uniforms bore many tokens of wear and
tear.
After lunch, headed by Capt. Percy
Scott, the naval commander at Durham, |
the men marched to the point of en-
for Simonstown.
