II IL reported by the same dispatches
that the Bocrs have now retired 20 the
north bank Of the Tugcla. being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their
retreat. They are also moving their
luagers nearer IRdysnith, probably
with the intention of putting further
pressure on the garrison, which now

The total casualties since the siege
began are 10 men killed and 250

II is difficult however, TO conceive
thnt Gen. Butler would make another
frontal attack, especially now that ths
river is rising. and an additional indl-
cation that this Is not his parpoAe is
the fact that he has removed his head.
