GEN. BULLER's ADVANCE.
Encountered Described

Difficulties Encountered Described
by a Correspondent.
LONDON, Feb PA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Pietermaritzburg, dated
Monday, describes at considerable length
"the enormous difficulties of Gen. Bull
ler's task and says:
"The real advance began last Wednes-
day. The =stupendous nature Of the task
was only understood when, being ON the
spot, one was able to realize what 1t
means to hurl infantry at positions
aligned in every direction with carefully
prepared trenches, and with breastworks
defended by practically invisible rifiemen,
armed with the most deadly rapid-fring
weapons, and aided by quick-fring guns,
which put all but our cannon of the larg-
est caliber into the shade"
Commenting upon Fridays fighting the
Daily Mails correspondent says:
1T would have been madness to seek an
outlet from the amphitheater of hills by
way of Groeblers Klof on the left; a
route had to be found on the right and
at 2 p. m. Friday, amid the incessant
cracking Of rifle fire and the roar of
cannon, the Irish regiment was dispatched
along the river to take Railway Hill on
the other side of Peters station.

could hold it securely and could mount
cannon on it. From Undertook Spruit
railway bridge the track runs along the
Tugela, and it was perilously open to the
Boer marksmen disposed on the kopjes
back of the river, and after passing
Peters station many men would be
bound to be hit
Beyond the station the line passes over
another bridge crossing a deep donga,
and 1t was in the approach to this bridge
and onward to the base of the railway
hill that the greatest danger from enfilade
exposure was obtained. 1t was necessary
to cross by the bridge at the month of
the donga, which. besides being difficult
of access, ran into the Tugela. The path
between the railway and the river was al
most in full view Of the enemy
Every man of the Irish brigade had,
therefore, to run the gauntlet of Boer
marksmen, and numbers dropped on the
bridge, where the Boer bullets fell dan
gerously thick until the bridge was sand
bagged, and only one man allowed on 1t
at time. Very soon fifty men were
put out of action in the race from the
bridge to the rendezvous, and several
members of the volunteer ambulance
corps were wounded in following the
