BRITISH HARD PRESSED.

Bosrs Attack the Three Beseiged Town
with Great Determination.
London. Jan. 8-The British war Office
yesterday received gloomy news from
three points in South Africa.
From the east-that is Natal-came
the cry sent out of Ladysmlth by Gener
al White that he was "hard pressed b,
the Boers. who were crowding to the
south of the beleaguered town in grea'
numbers.
From the center-that is, Cape Colon,
came the report that General French
the hitherto unvanquished leader, had
lost company Of the First Suffolks. to
gether with seven officers, taken prison
ers by the Beers.
From the west-that is. Bechuanaland
that the Beers had invaded that par,
of British territory and captured For.
Kuruman and 100 prisoners.
General French, heretofore the only
undefeated British General, has had his
reverse a, last. One by one the Eoers
have beaten all the British commands
and have begun to take the offensive.
The suspense over the fate Of Lady.
smith is intense.
No stock is taken IN General Buller's
camp of the rumor that White was vic.
torious. That part of his message is re
garded as only vain hope TO give some
encouraging news in the tace Of impend
ing disaster.
General Butler sent out force to
wards Colenso. thinking the Beers had
gone to assist in the assault on Ladysmith
but he found the trenches filled with
'rransvaalers, all ready for him. Bear
ing in mind his former disastrous exper
fence there. General Butler did not attack
the enemy. and was compelled to stand
idle. while White was fighting desper-
ately for the life Of Ladysmi'h.
If Ladysmith has not already fallen
the Beers assault is the beginning Of the
end. Soon after midnight Saturday
morning the Beers began the attack.
continuing the fight all day. They must
have weakened the garrison so that its ex-
,stance is extremely precarious. The
fighting was undoubtedly of the most
desperate character, with tremendous
losses on both sides.
General Whites effective force cannot
exceed 1000 men. casualties and disease
having greatly weakened his original
force. Whether Ladysmith actually
capitulated or still holds out none know.

E. Fl. r. Green the we'll known
Texas millionaire and president of
the Texas Midland railroad, who is
at present in Washington City
where the subject OF Brownsville's
isolated situation has been promi-
nently brought out of late by
Congressman Kleberg's efforts III
behalf of Brazos Santiago Pass
bus been talking on the subject
Of railroad to Brownsville. It
will be remembered that several
years ago, Mr. Green caused a sur
vey OF the lower Rio Grande to be
made by engineers and railroad
constructors and he doubtless has
some plan for some future enter
prise in this region. At any rate
be is deeply interested in the pro-
iect OF a Brownsville railroad. He
is quoted by the Washington Post
recently as saying:
Brownsville ought to have a
railroad. Gen. Grant once said
that a railway should skirt the
east coast of Texas aud the east
coast OF Mexico. The liue was
surveyed. l have the profile in
my possession now and think the
railway will be built some day.
The line will run from San Anto-
MO TO Brownsville. 1t will cross
the river to Matamoros, Mexico,
and from thence to Tampico. The
last stretch is 220 miles. Il the
whole scheme is carried ont it will
make the shortest line frem Mex
leo City to the United States.''
