Not q line Of war news having been
received from yesterday, Great Britain
remains waiting anxiously TO learn
which side will succeed In striking frst.
The feeling, however Is mucn more
confident than at the opening OF last
week IN consequence Of the widespread
belief that the hands OF Field Marshal
Lord Roberts and Gen. Kitchener are
now firmly Clipped az the helm, ana
that whatever happens, the campaign
will now be waged under careful conf
prehensive plans, In which all the forces
will cooperate. Both sides seem to
be collecting themselves FOR attack.
The left horn Of the Boer army Is
creeping through Zuuland and threat
ening the British right ana at Chieyeley
Gen. Joubert with 5000 men Is reported
TO be endeayoring TO attack Gen. Bull
Ter. Boer aggressiveness has already
developed and has met with a repulse
az Rensberg. while from what now be,
comes the most important point Of the
campaign the MOdder river. comes the
news Of ceaseless activity and redoubled
vigilance. These reports create hope-
fulness in Great Britain rather than
anxiety, for the impression exists that
the Boer aTgressiyeness viii give the
British troops their long yearued for
opportunity and tend greatly to assist
the broad plan OF campaign which Lord
Roberts may shortly be expected 10
set in motion at the Modder river.
In the meanwhile, Ladysmilh must
await the exigencies attendant upon the
more important military movements
now on foot. II is said positively that
Gen. Macdonald's withdrawal from
Koodoosberg was ordered by Gen Meth
uen under Lord Robertss Instructions.
