IMPORTANT STEP
Gen. Butler, it is Said. Will Renew His
Attempt TO Relieve Ladysmith.
Beers still Keep Their Guns in the
Vicinity of Kimberley, and Are
Able TO Summon Reinforce
ments Rapidly.

London, Dec. 3O.-Tbe latest special
dispatches from Chievely Camp hint
darkly at some important movement
as imminent. This is interpreted with
some misgivings to men that Gen.
Butler contemplates a renewal of his
attempt to relieve Ladysmith.
1t is reported by the same dis
patches that the Beers have not re-
tired to the north bank of the Tugela
river, being afraid that the swollen
stream may bar their retreat. They
are also moving their laagers nearer
Ladysmith, probably with the inten-
ton of putting further pressure on
The garrison, which now seems to be
suffering pretty heavily from bonn
bardment. 1t is difficult, however,
TO conceive that Gen. Butler would
make another frontal attack. espe-
cially now that the river is rising,
and an additional indication that this
Is not his purpose is the fact that he
has removed his headquarters bach
to Frere. The BOer movement north
ward from the Tugela is quite in
keeping with the enemy's usual plan
Of securing a safe line of retreat. 1t
is kown that further artillery is due
