"Whatever faults General Warren may
have committed the failure must be

adds:
'1The attempt to relieve Ladysmith de.
,cribed In these dispatches was we'll de-
vised. I agree with General Butler In
thinking 1t ought to have succeeded. The
failure was due In some measure to the

water carried everything before 1t as 1t
spread out over the valley below. All the
lower portion of the railroad tracks was
