London. March 3, 6 a. m.-General Butler in
dispatch from Ladysmith last evening makes
it clear that the Beers decided to raise the siege
OF the town Immediately they learned that Cen
eral Cronie was the mercy of General Rob-
erts at Paardeberg The British advance in
Natal was then only opposed in order to allow
time for the big guns and ammunition and
stores to be safely removed north and west. That
the Beers were not completely successful in
carrying out this intention was owing to the
fact that they were more or less demoralized by
Genera. Buffers victorious attack on Tuesday.
After the battle orders were evidently given
for a hasty retreat to the passes, with the re-
suit that large quantities of ammunition and
two guns were left behind. Virtually speaking.
