THE WAR IN AFRICA.

General Butler, commanding about
10000 British troops in Natal, has
made move which is regarded as the
first step 10 general engagement with
the Boer army, estimated to number
% 900 men, under Gen. Joubert, de.
feeding the Tugela river. The British
commander has advanced from Cheve-
ley, seized Springfield, which bad been
occupied by the Beers, aud has taken a
position on the south bank of the To-
CELIA river at Potgieter's drift, 16 miles
west of Colenso. He also cables that be
has seized the bridge. This move puts
General Butler upon the right flank Of
the Beers. He has yet to cross the
Tugela, and force OF Beers is strongly
intrepched about AZ miles north of him.
These are regarded as certain to give
battle.
Another part OF General Buffers
army is believe to be menacing the
Beer left at Mount Hlsngwane. Thus
Gep. JOubert, with force numerically
inferior, will be put to severe test Of
his strategy to provide for both moves.
London anxiously awaits news of the
expected battle.
IL is reported that General Butler
submitted his plan of campaign to Gen
ersl ROBBERS, the new commsnder,in-
chief, soon after the latter landed at
Capetown, and that Lord Roberts sane

Current gossip 10 London is to the
effect that General Kitchener is the

Africs. 1t is said that Kitchener, as chief
of staff to Gen. Roberts, will practical.

Roberls's presence as field marshal is
expected to restore confidence to the
troops.
Rumors that General Lord Methuen
is insane continue to be circulated in
London. At last accounts his troops
