Ladysmith Their retirement from Lady
smith, and their possible retirement from
Bloemfontein, yield great advantages to
the British invading columns, but both
moves were inevitable. With northern
Cape Colony free of Beers, Gen. Roberts
has three railroads at his service.
The retreat of the Beers in Natal will
be less precipitate than in the Orange
Free State, because the former have the
mountains behind them and are retiring
on positions which nature has made al
most impregnable. The Boer generals
must guard against a formidable attack
from Gen. Roberts in the Orange Free
State. must resist the advance of Gen.
Butler toward Laing's Neg and Van Rec
mems Pass, and must at the same time
strengthen their lines on the left to resist
a fanking movement through Zululand.
Withdrawal from the Tugela and from
the Orange river to the mountain passes
and to Kroecstad will greatly shorten
and strengthen the BOer line Of defense.
Their line will then represent two sides
of a triangle, with the point on the Drak-
ensberg Mountains below Van Reenen's
Pass, with one side line extending north
ward along the partially completed rail
road to kr0onstad, and with the other
reaching along the mountains up to and
eastward of Laing's Mex.
Kimberley was relieved after q siege
of 10 days, and Ladysmith after q siege
of lis days. By laying siege to these
two points. both Of them Of great impor-
lance to the British, the Beers practical
ly chose the fighting ground for the first
months OF the war. A dozen engage
ments were fought for the possession Of
Kimberley, and over twenty fer the pos
session Of Ladysmith.

WAkIESOUTH AFRICA
DIFFERENT STAGES OFT { CAM
PAIGN UP TO D6.E.
Relief of Ladysmith Has Cost About
All 1t Is Worth-Loss of the Town Is
Considered No Great Blow to the
Cause of the Beers.

Gen. Buffers final success in relieving
Ladysmith is a moral rather than milf
tary gain. Considered merely as a mill
tary advantage. the release of Gen. White
and his small army has cost about as
much as it is worth. While 1t sets free
this starving and plucky remnant OF the
original army of occupation IN NataI, II
also releases a similar force of Beers
from siege duty. The honors are even
in that respect The British have lost
about 1900 men in the four months
fighting for the relief Of Ladysmith, not
including the 1000 or more who fell or
were captured in the battles that pre-
coded the siege. The town itself is
worthless as a strategic pcint, except for
its railway connections. Its loss is no
great blow to the Beers.
The relief of Ladysmith and the with
drawal of the Beers from Colesberg and
jamestown mark the beginning of the
fourth stage of the campaign in South
Africa. The first stage opened with the
advance of the Beers into Natal and Cape
Colony, about the middle Of October. The
object was to drive the British from the
coal districts OF Natal, to gain possession
of the railroads extending into the Free
State and the Transyaal by way of
Laing's Mex and Van Reenen's Pass, to
prevent the use of the railroads in north
ern Cape Colony, and TO promote ris-
ing among the Cape Colony Dutch.
In two weeks the British were driven
from northern Natal, and were besieged
in Ladysmith; in less time the British
force in the west had been penaed up in
Kimberley and Mafeking, and the Beers
held all the roads in northern Cape Col
ony leading to the Orange river crossings
The second stage of the campaign open
ed about Nov. 20, with the REINFORCED
and recognized British army advancing

the absence of Lady Randolph Churchill
is the head of the committee, comes here
to interest Americans in the work.
Mrs. Adair is well known in the fash
ionable society of New York and New
port. Her first husband was a Mr..
Richie of Boston. In 1867 she married
the late John Adair, who was one of the
great land magnates of Ireland and high
sheriff of the County Donegal, She is
very wealthy in her own right.
