Signs point 10 the probability that
the greatest battle of the South African

this week. There have been intima.
lions to this effect, and dispatches from

victory for the British, and the end o.
ths war within few months.
1t was understood recently that Gen.
sfal Buller would perhaps delay until
he arrival of the new commander.in-
chief, General Roberts, but these dis
patches indicate a decided change of
plans.
The Beers have been firing at Lady

that Beer shell struck a mess tent OF
