With British Major and Lieu
tenEht Killed - Re-enfOrcements
Sent to Relieve the Garrison.
LONDON, March although General
Rotha, Commander-in-Chief Of the Beers.
has been reported as at or very near Pre-
toria for the purpose Of comforting with
General Kitchener and Sir Alfred Miner
regarding terms for ending the war IN
South Africa, the latest news from the
former burgher capital is not reassuring.
If Botha is really determined to arrange
for ending hOstilities. as IS contended in
the dispatches, the other Boer generals
apparently repudiate any such pro-
sramme- IL Botha capitulates. he will
not bind his brother generals by that
act, apparently, for news comes from
Pretoria today, sent under yesterdays
date, that General Deiarey has fiercely
attacked Idchtenburg, and that big
fight is in progress.
General Kitchener's despatch concern
ing this latest military operation OF the
Beers follows:
Lichterburg is being attacked BY
De!arey and lighting has been going
on all day We have had a major and
lieutenant killed.

81 - Es9IEanTy and 800 No=thumber-
land FUsiiiers. with two guns i am

KITCHENER"
kitcheneF's despatch has placed a
check on the current of optimistic opin-
ion which swept over London after the
recent announcement that Botha had Civ
en- up the fight
The attack on Liehtenburg is apparently
a bold one and indicates that the rem
nant of the Boer forces is as determined
as ever TO resist and assau the British
army assigned 10 the task OF crushing
them
Kitchener's statement that a major and
a lieutenant have fallen in the fight is
regarded here as indicative Of heavy loss

British garrison has not been wiped out
By DeIarey's men.
The aggressive move of DeIarey, it is
feared, viii be initiated by De Wet and
others, and there are many here who ex-

BOtha have proved fruitIess and that
peace is 70 be again delayed.
