GEN. BULLERIS REINFORCED

London, Jan. 5.-There is still no inn
portant news from the front but the ST.
lence which has descended on Butler s
huge force at Tugela river is believed to
be a prelude of another attempt to reach
Ladysmith.
In the meanwhile the extraordinary
tenacity the Beers are displaying around
Colesberg leads to detract from the sue
cess Of General French.
Later news of Col. Pitchers raid shows
that some of the first accounts were con-
siderably exaggerated in it's effect on the
Beers and their mpathizers. While it
is true he successfully drove couple Of
hundred rebels from Sunnyslde, killing or
wounding thirty and capturing forty
three, Pitchers immediate evacuation Of
Douglass seems to prove he had informa-
tiOn that there was sufficient number of
Beers in the neighborhood to make his
position unsafe. Indeed, there Is reason
to believe that only the dispatch Of cav
airy brigade from Modder river prevented
a force OF 900 men sent by Cen. Cronje
from attacking Pitchers column and as
soon as the cavalry returned to Modder
river, Comics troops re-occupied Sunny
side.
According to advices from Sterkstroem
the Beers have completely retired from
the neighborhood of Molteno, but Cat
acre does not appear to have pursued
them, as reinforcements from Sterk-
stroem have returned there. Gen. CAT
acres report of the Molteno affair con-
firms the Associated Press dispatch show
ing 1t was merely skilmisf of outposts.
There We're no British casualties.
A Mafeking dispatch just received but
dated Dec. &C. confirms the report of
British sortie from that place, which was
first announced from Pretoria, Dec 20.
The Mafeking dispatch says:
There was a sortie today with a view
of capturing the Boer earthworks but it
was unsuccessful. The works were
crowded with Beers awaiting the assault
and hail of bullets forced the British to
retire, killing and wounding a number.
The British storming party numbered
eighty men of which number twenty-one
were killed and thirty-three wounded"

Transvaal Military Preparations.

In his criticisms of the Govern

man, the Liberal Leader, took his
stand on the point of the military
expenditure of the Transvaal Re-
public. There had been an increase
from 100000 to half a million year
and when did the increased expen-
diture begin? Why, in the very
year of the Jameson Raid. This in
creased expenditure began few
months previous to the discovery of
the plots and designs against the
Transvaal, and as the present Gov
eminent had been in power CON-
tinuously it was for them to explain
why they shut their eyes to the
fact,

before the senate in oppoatlon to the
bill introduced some time ago by jSena-
tor Evans, creating county boards Of
health and defining their powers, dut-
les, etc. Before he finished his re-
marks the number of rapid questions
that were fred at him from the sena-

the point under consideration and to
defend the course of the state board Of
health in one or two important partic-
ulars on which the senators were ssek

certain curiosity as the reason of the

names Of yellow fever patients IN jack

board and at what salary. The debate
then became general, senator's rising
from their seats and asking questions
before DR.. Kiger had gotten through
with the answers to the previous ones.
The bill under discussion will operate
to take certain amount of power out
