MAY Be CUT OFF
Danger to Rullers Division Fore
ing Itself on the Military
Experts.
IF He Doesn't Quickly Cross the
Little Tugela He May Not
Be Able.
Lyttleton's Brigade Still at Pot
gieter's Drift--Little News
From the Front.

LONDON, Jan. s1.-7:02 p. ma
dispatch has been received from Lord
Roberts, dated Tuesday, saying there is
no change in the situation in South
Africa.
New YORK, Jan. 31.-A London dis.
patch to The Evening World says:
Buller's danger is now forcing itself
on the military experts. A committee
Of national defense has already taken it
up and is gravely considering it. Lord
Roberts himself has communicated his
anxiety, it is said.
He has, it is reported, cabled the COM
mittee that unless Butler and his forces
arrive safely from their present position
to the south of the Little Tugela river,
they will be in immense danger of hav.
ing their communications cut.
Lord Roberts has pointed out that
Butler has with him an immense trans.
port train carrying his ammunition and
supplies. This interferes with the mo.
bility Of his army.
Buller's main force is now about 70
miles from its base at Freere and Chiev.
eley. 1t is between the Big Tugela
river, over which it has retleated, and
the Little Tugela, over which it has to
retreat in order to begin the march to
its base. That part Of it comprising
Lyttelton's brigade may still be on the
north side of the Tugela at Potgeiter's
drift, thought it is generally believed
that it, too, has retreated over the river.
1t will take days for Buffers army to
get back to its base. Meantime, the
Beers are few miles away from them
in force at Colenso, only few miles
away from that base. Last Tuesday
they crossed the river there and made
reconnaissance of the British camp, evil
IDENTITY with view of ascertaining the
strength Of the force which Butler left
behind to guard his base and communi.
cations. The party that crossed came
into contact with Buller's rear guard
and killed several Of the British. The
reconnaissance indicated a purpose on
the part of the Btsrs to cut Buffers
communications off. Should they hurl
an overwhelming force over the Tugela
and crush the British Mt Chieveley, they
would have Butler in Il trap.

PAUSE IN HOsTILIT1Es.

Next Move May he an Attempt to Invade
the Free State.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-History pauses for
a time in South Africa. 1t is one of
those unsatisfactory pauses that are
necessarily trying to British nerves as
sequence to reverses, and it is expected
it will only terminate when Lord Rob-
erts will give the word for forward
movement into the Free State, which,
according to the most cheerful view, he
will be unable to do for fortnight.
Whether he will permit General Butler
to make another attempt to relieve Lady.
smith is quite outside of the knowledge
Of those closely connected with the
war Office. With the troops due to ar
rive next month he may think himself
strong enough to try two large opera
ions. Combining the forces under
Lord Methuen, French and Gatacre and
advancing to them the arriving troops,
Lord Roberts would have 10000 for the
invasion Of the Free State with 10000 to
$4,000 guarding communications and
10000 trying to rescue Ladysmith.
Troops at Sea and Ready to Sail.
Twenty thousand two hundred and
twenty two men and 155 guns are at
sea. Eleven thousand infantry and
1900 cavalry, including {, 1000 yeomanry,
are practically ready to embark. There.
fore the government, without doing
more, can place at the disposal Of Lord
Roberts 10000 additional men and 1866
guns. The further purposes of the war
Office officials are supposed to embrace
somewhere in the neighborhood of 5O,.
600 more men. As the indication ia
that candidates will be rather scarce,
the war Office will issue orders for those
reservists who were found unfit at the
previous mobilization examinations to
report for further examination.
The total casualties Of the war. com.
piled from official reports, are 9,52S,
nearly a division. OF these 2,4S6 are
killed, 4,811 wounded and the rest are
prisoners.
The aggregate British home troops in
South Africa number 10000, the Ma.
Italians 1853 and Cape Colonials $1,000.

Then there is q gentle slope which al.

Strongly Held by the Beers,
who also occupied a heavy spur parallel
with the kopje, where the enemy was
concealed in no fewer than 50 rifle pits

upon our men a damaging crossfire, the
only possible point for British attack
being the southern side with virtually

ga narrow foot path to the summit,
admitting men in single file only, opens
into a perfectly fat table land upon
which the Beers had hastily commenced
to make tranverse trench. Our men
were able to occupy the further end Of
this table land where the ridge de.
scended to another fiat, which was again
succeeded by round, stony eminence
held by the Beers in great strength.
"The ridge held by our men was faced
by number Of little kopjes at all an.
giles, whence the Beers sent
Concentrated Fire From Their Rifles,
supported by a Maxim -Nordenfeld and
a big, long range gun. What with the
rifles, the machine guns and the big gun
the summit was converted into a perfect
hell. The. shells exploded continually
in our ranks and the rifle fire from an
absolutely unseen enemy was perfectly
appalling.
''Reinforcements were hurried up by
General Warren, but they had to cross
o stretch Of fiat ground which was liter
ally torn up by the flying lead of the en-
emy. The unfinished trench Oh the
summit gave very questionable shelter,
as the enemy's machine guns were 50
accurately trained upon the place that
often 16 shells fell in the trench in q
single minute.
"Mortal man could not permanently
hold such a position. Our gallant fell
lows held it tenaciously for "a hours
and then, taking advantage of the tlarI
night, abandoned it to the enemy"
