LONDON, March s, 1850 a, m.-Her
majesty has abandoned her intended
visit to the Italian Rivera and has de-
clded to remain at home. Her decision
to give up her customary spring holi-
day is accounted another proof Of her
deep interest in and devotion to the
welfare Of her people. on Thursday
she viii come to London for a brief
visit, remaining until Saturday, and
she will undoubtedly receive a splendid
ovation. Her heartfelt, homely dis
patches to the generals in the field and
her visit to Netley hospital have great
ly endeared her to her people.
Beyond the signs Of general retreat
Of the Beers throughout Cape Colony
there IS little news from the front.
Lord Roberts. in his dispatches to the
war office, thus far published. says lit
tie, but he is undoubtedly active in
some direction.
The onsland, the organ Of the Afri-
kander bund. says:
"The Beers will now confne them
selves to the defensive, abandoning an
offensive policy"
Abrahams Rraal as shown in the war
office maps, is group OF three koptes,
situated at the junction of Kraal
spruIt with Modder river. It is d nat
ural point of concentration which the
Boers could make exceedingly strong,
but after the proofs Of the mobility of
the army Of Lord Roberts It may be
doubted whether they will make a
really serious attempt to bar his ad-
vance there,
A noticeable feature Of all the re-
cent operations at the theatre Of war
has been the active employment of
colonial forces, which is in marked
contrast with the policy adopted at the
beginning Of the war. The Australian
colonies have decided to provide the
$500 men Mr. CHAMBERLAIN recently
asked for.
It is now seen how near Ladysmlth
was to starvation and the exhaustion OF
ammunition. The town could hardly
have wlthstood another Boer assault or
have held out much longer. The Daily
News has dispatch from Ladyspith
which says that the supplies on hand
were only enough to provide fun ra-
tlons for four days. The town might
have held Rnother week, but scarcely
beyond that

ing the present week. BY agreement
the report on the curEncy bill vii! be
voted upon at o'clock Tuesday, and
will have practically the undivided at
tention' OF the senate until that time,
II there are senators who desire to
speak upon It,
After Tuesday the Quay resolution
Will be the uppermost topic during the
morning hour each day. There are
still several speeches to be made on the
Quay resolution, among those who are
speak being Senators Penross, spOoner,
Perkins and Carter, favorable to Sir
Quay, and Senator Burrows. in oppo-
sition.
The Puerto Rtcan bill will be debated
at length. Senators Culberson, Turner
and Pettlgrew win make set arguments
against 1t, on constitutional grounds.
and Senators Nelson and Depew VIII
talk in support of 1t. The broad ques-
'tlon OF expansion VIII be raised In con-

provoke much running debate, as well
as many set speeches. Senator Fora
ksr, who Is in charge OF the bill says
there is no disposition to aecept the
house bill md drop the senate measure,
as has been reported in some quarters
would be done.
The diplomatic and the pension ap-

is calculated to provoke prolonged dis

LADYSIMTH GARRISON

Sought to Prevent Beers Removing
the Big Gun on Bulwsna I'm = a
Terrible Storm interrupted the
Fieht-The Big Gun Was Loaded
on a Wagon, Which Turned Over
in a DOnga.
DURHAM, Friday, March - Cores
pondents who have returned here from
Ladysmith say that the relief came
quite Unexpectedly. At noon on Tues
day the firing Of General Buffers army
seemed to recede, Instead Of approach
ing, and the garrison was consequently
depressed. Everybody was startled to
hear the garrison's ~ gun firing. It
had not been used much Of late, owing
to the diminished ammunition.
On hurrying out It was found that
the Beers were trying to remove the
big gun on Bulwnna, by the erection Of
q derrick. This proved that some thing
extraordinary was happening. The
other guns then directed their fire on
BulWana, with the result that the Beers
were compelled TO abandon the attempt
with the derrick. Later on they placed
the gun on a wagon, which capsized In
donga.
During the afternoon, whenever the
Beers were seen approaching the Brit
ish resumed the Smelling OF Bulwana.
About 4 O'Clock q terrific thunderstorm
broke over the town, Just after mes
RaRa had been heliographed from Wa
gon hill that the Beers were In full re-
treat.
other officers said they believed they
could descry British cavalry, but most
people supposed that the wish was
father to the Thought
AS soon as the storm ceased the Brlt-
ish guns re-Opened on Bulwana, graz
unlly concentrating the fire on the left,
and driving the Beers before them. with
the object OF preventing the enemy
from hamperIns any British approach.
An hour later party OF British
forsemen could be seen crossing the
fiat, below Bulwana, at distance OF
some miles. II is iEhposslble TO describe
the excitement and enthusiasm among
the troops that followedss, Most OF the
townspeople had been driven into the
houses by the storm, and did not learn
the good news until later.
The storm broke out again at 2 o'clock
In the evening, and continued until 2
O'Clock the next morning. It must have
seriously hampered the retreating
Boer3. The British gunners kept a
sharp watch, to prevent any further
attempt to remove the Bulwana gun.
The British naval gun was tired AZ In
tervais through the night, and In the
morning q force was sent ou. to look
after the gun and occupy Bulwana.
Lord DundonaId's force went after
the retreatIng Beers, while four thou
sand Of the best men Of the garrison
went toward Elandslaagts, In the hope
Of being able to cut off the enemy
