BRITISH ARE IN HIGH SPIRITS.
Greatly Encouraged Over General
French's Defeat Of the Beers.

French's Defeat Of the Beers.
London, Jan. 2-The success Of Cen
eraI French in driving the Beers from
Colesberg has shot a welcome ray OF
light through the gloom of the cam
paign in South Africa Everywhere it
is commented upon as an example Of
sound tactics and as an illustration Of
what may be done when the right
methods are employed with the Beers.
The government is urged to take the
lesson TO heart and to see that no stone
is left unturned in the endeavor to geb
the largest possible force Of cavalry
and mounted infantry TO the front.
Now that General French has the
Beers on the run, the hope is expressed
that he win give them no vest. but viii
haTass them until they have found
their way across the Orange river,
which is twelve miles distant. The old
wagon route to the Free State traverses
Colesberg and crosses the river by d
fine bridge 1,240 feet long. 1t is believed
that the Beers retreated toward Nor
valspOnt, further east. and the qUes-
ton is whether General French viii
be able to secure these two bridges be-
fore the Beers destroy them.
One important result of the success
of General French is that it viii have

I a deterrent effect on Dutch disaffec-
ton. There is some disposition here
to exaggerate the Importance Of small
skirmishes and engagements It should
be borne in mind that General French
has only 1000 men, and so far as the
important points of campaign are con-
cerned, the situation is virtually IN
changed.
At Modder river the Beers appear to
be modifying somewhat their line Of
otfeuse. General Buffers scouts have
discovered d BOer camp established in
the vicinity Of Springfield, southwest Of
COlensO, by a Free State commando
A similar movement has been made at
Mod6er river. A large force Of Beers
it is reported, has formed q new lager
about ffteen miles down the stream,
at KameelhOek.
Telegraph reports from Ladysmith
show that all was well on Dec. 81. The
bombardment was being continued, but
it's intensity had relaxed. An official
dispatch from Ladysmith confirms the
report, cabled yesterday, that several
officers Of the Devonshire regiment
were severely wounded by the explo-
sion Of a Boer shell in the mess tent.
