DEFENSE IN THE CLARK CASE

Sterks Spruit, Feb. 3-Commandant
Olivier of the Orange Free State, in
a speech to the Beers at Lady Grey,
said his men were almost surrounded
at Stormberg and unless recruits were
forthcoming he would be compelled to
abandon his position. It is admitted
that at the recent fight at Ladysmith
the Beers lost / 100 killed and 600
wounded Many of the colonists who
fought at Stormberg have gone back
to their farms and have refused to
return to active service though threat
ened with death, Among those are
some conspicuous Burghers who orig
inally invited the Free Staters to in
wade Cape Colony.
London, Feb. $3.50 p. m.)-The
war office is silent regarding General
Butler, but there is every reason tt
believe that he is continuing the
movement upon Ladysmith. Those il
position to know confirm his reported
recrossing of the Tugela river and
believe he was engaged yesterday. A
message from Ladysmith, Thursday,
saying the Boer forces were leaving
again and the besieging force was
considerably diminished tends to con-
firm this. Field Marshal Lord Rob-
erts has notified the war ONCE that
forty Highlanders, previously reported
killed at vagersfontein, are prisoners
