question of time:
The long struggle ends this morning
with the British entering Ladysmith
and another long step made toward
bringing the war to a close.
HELD UP BY HOPE.
Buffers relief of Lsdysmith came in
the nick of time. Despite the cheer
full heliograph messages the beleagured
garrison was in dire straits. Only the
belief that relief was sure this time
enabled the garrison to hold out.
Private reports show that the garrison
was not only short of food but of water
and that the water was nothing less
than sewerage from the Boer
camp. Only few spots were
sheltered from the bombardment.
Those who escaped fever or dysentery
are in wretched physical condition.
For long time the garrison subsisted
on horse and mule flesh. Luxuries
were beyond the means OF the msiori-
ty. Eggs were SO q dozen, q can of
milk 50, tobacco s25 pound, a case of
whiskey 500. Ladysmith has been in

her relief has been costly.

that no one can describe the difficult
ties. Ridge rises after ridge like
waves Of the sea. Each can be enfilsd-
