Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
PORT TOWNSEND, Dec 21.--The
steamer Robert Dollar is In the bay here,
storm-bound. The Newsboy left here for
up Sound today.
The Robert Dollar left Seattle Thursday
for San Francisco with twenty-four pass
engers. Beyond the mere statement of
her return to Port Townsend, l.. II. Gray.
the local agent. received no information
from the steamer. He stated yesterday
that It was probable the Dollar had en-
countered a heavy gale In the Strait and
had gone back to Port Townsend until 1t
would subside.
The steamer Newsboy was bound from
San Francisco to Grays harbor when she
met the recent Coast storm. The Marine
Exchange yesterday received a dispatch
stating that she had run on Bragg's rock
while on the voyage, and was coming to
Seattle for repairs. That she was able to
make the voyage to Port Townsend Is
regarded as evidence that she was not Sc
riousiy injured. She was reported here
as having started up the Sound yesterday

The Beers continued shelling the Brit

not get the range. The British guns
posted there failed to silence the Long

continued to work the Nordenfeldts on

not to press the advance by this route.

Infantry retired from Vaalkramtz.

GENERAL ROBERTS
IS PREPARING FOR
MOVEMENT IN FORCE

New York, Feb. 10.-The war Office in
London has given out no confirmation
of the report that General Buffers forces
had retired again to the south side OF
the Tugela. The Boer kilograms have
been generally correct hitherto, however,
and the public inclines to the belief that
the report is accurate.
The London morning papers publish
dispatches from various sources which
indicate that General Butler had found
his position ON the Vaalkrantz ridge a
difficult one to hold, and the silence from
the war office is taken as corroboration
of the report that the third attempt to
relieve Ladysmith has failed.
The military critics are almost unani-
NOUS in the belief that Ladysmith can
not hold out against another Boer at
tack.
One London paper strongly hints that
General Buffers operations are for the
purpose of distracting the attention OF
the Beers from a projected movement
OF a strong force, presumably headed by
Lord Roberts. The governments an

osity to unveil the closest official secret
as to what disposition is to be made Of
them.
High authorities agree that Lord Rob-
erts, after safeguarding his communica-
tions, will have only from 81, 900 to 40, 900
men for his northward march. Esti-
mates Of how many Beers he will have
to face are mere guess work, SO much
depends upon the fate of Ladysmitf and
the number of Beers released from that
point.
The general idea prevails that Lord
Roberts will head the movement toward
BlOemfontein.
Late dispatches from sterkstrom state
that British patrol consisting of a ser.
geant and six men of Brabant's horse.
at Browns farm. was surprised and cap
tured early yesterday morning.
The relief sent from Penhoek blum

The organization had been canvassed
two years previous to its actual organi-

of getting the money together Some Of

Whiteside had said he would 'job

had paid the amount back. Adjourned
