perts are inclined to take a gloomy
view Of the situation.
Mr.. Williams, the Leaders war critic,
says in this Thursday mornings Is
sue:
Floods in the Tugela river may have
postponed action. We mentioned Thurs
day as the day upon which the news
Of II would be officially promulgated.
Our own information goes only till
Monday night. 1t Is to the effect that
Gen. Warren holds the Tugela passages.
THE war office will probably COM
municate this statement to the re-
corders and the commentators stimuli
taneolsly with the news OF the relief Of
Ladysmith.
we are bound TO say that the mid
night bulletin at the war Office made
bad impression. 1t is as certain as
anything can be that Gen. Butler se-
cured by yesterday morning two pas
sages across the upper Tugela. He may
have pushed forward and been de-
feated, but II Is improbable. He may
have had small reverse on his right
where he could not be very strong. But
II is Just as likely that he is pushing
steadily on toward his goal. II there
should have been another reverse, the
shock will be felt all the more by the
country on account OF the apprehen-
sions excited by the maladroit working
OF the midnight placards."
