long range guns such as the Beers had
mounted probably rendered the posi-,

story of the latest defeat.
This second retirement of General
Butler across the Tugela river seems
to prove that he has a task beyond his
power unless large reinforcements are
sent to him, and this is not likely, now
that an army is being organized to in
wade the free state.
There is little or no prospects of the
relief of Ladysmith being effected by
the Natal field force until the advance
of Lord Roberts compels the Beers to
weaken their strength on the line of the
Tugela river. This may not be for
some weeks and in the meantime can
Ladysmith hold out against another at
tack, which the Beers are likely to
make Immediately. The besieged town
is likely to have its fiercest fighting
yet.
