said to be Paarl, village about 30
miles from Cape Town, where meet

at Richmond on December 2S; and it
is reported that the members of the
bund in these two towns are acting
in concert. The members of the bund
at wilmington and the Dutch in Clan
william district are said to be armed

AFRICAN SITUATION.
An Impression That Gen. Butler
Intends Another Attack.
DISPATCH FROM WINSTON CHUCHILL.
Gen. Buffers Soldiers Have Complete Con
fdencs In Their Commander, but the
Boers' Position Gems lmprsgnabie
Dutch COlOnists Hostile

London, Dec. 2S.-Winston Church
ills new arrival at Chievey camp is
perhaps responsible for some over
coloring of the gravity of the situa'
ton, but all to-day's news conveys
the impression that Butler may be
intending another attack upon the
Boer position. Certainly the Beers
are not inactive. At both Modder
river and the Tugela they are said to
be strengthening their forces and ex-
tending defense works, which, in both
cases, are seemingly almost impreg-
nable.
Dispatches from Chievely indicate
that Gen. Buffers forces will remobi-
lie ut Frere before attempting an
other advance. Doubtless he would
be glad to retrieve the Colenso re-
verse before the arrival of Lord Rob
erts, yet he is hardly likely to at
tempt another frontal attack. II is
more likely that he is preparing to
strike should the Beers make any Of
fensive movement.
Mr.. Churchill's reference to Lady
smith may imply that the situation
of the garrison is more desperate
than had been supposed. The Beers
continue terrifying the hills com
manding the town. Gen. White, how
ever, photographs that all was well in
Ladysmith on December &c.
Dispatches from Modder river rep,

In some towns the entire Dutch
population has joined the Beers.
The rebels have formed 4 laager at
a point about 30 miles west OF Mod
der river camp. It is also announced
that the Beers have raised the siege
OF Thurman and have I'LL withdrawn

Dlspatch from Winston Churchill.
London, Dec. 9S.--The Morning
Post has received the following from
Mr.. Churchill, under date OF Decem-
Der 26, telegraphed from ChieveIy
Camp, where he has arrived: "All
ranks have complete confidence in Sir
Redvers Butler, and there is a stern
determination to succeed next time
at all costs. A painful impression
was caused by the announcement OF
the change of commander-in-chief
and the soldiers here are resolved tc
yindicate their trusted leader. The
situation, nevertheless, Is difficult

traordnary strength. with high hl'''

in front. The enemy have all the
ranges marked, and many powerful
gums dominate the various points OF
the river, while the drifts are com.
manded by converging musketry fire
from probably 10000 Beers. There
are 18 miles of wild, broken country
before reaching Ladysmith, which de.
