REINFORCING DULLER-
Every Hour That He Delays His At
tRck Makes His Position Stronger.


tack Makes His Position Stronger.
London, Jan. u. - Every hour that
Gen. Butler delays his combined attack
makes his position stronger. Trans
ports continue to arrive at Durham
and fresh troops are being sent up the
line to reinforce those in front of
Coienso. 1t appears that Gen. Buffers
troops north of the Tuge1a number at
least $4,000, and possibly $4,000. with
fifty guns. His total forces, forming
a great outer curve south anu west Of
Ladysmith, probably number 10000.
While Gen. Buffers forward opera
tons, which began on Jan. 10, develop
rather leisurely, the Beers appear to
be fully aware that they must meet a
strenuous assault. Balloon observers
have roughly estimated that Beers
are nsing spade and pick in artificial
ly strengthening positions, which ma
ture has rendered easy of defense
Military critics in touch with the war
office think that news that general
lighting has begun may be expected at
any hour 1t is not thought that one
days fighting will settle the fate OF
Ladysmith. but rather that there will
be two or three days Of continuous
fighting 49,
