children from Ladysmith. That, of
course, meant that he was preparing
for a stubborn defense. It is estimated
that after the fight of Monday, the
general bad left about 10,000 effective
men, and it is calculated that he has
provUious sufficient to last about two
months. 1'he latest dispatches said
that the Boers were bombarding tbe
town and that the British were answering
each shot with about three.
As to whether tlie Boers can take the
town hv assault is a auestiou. Milita
ry experts in London profess to believe
that nothing of the kind will be attempted
; but the public is no longer
disposed to attach a great deal of
importauce to the opinions of these
experts.
The British war office admits that
the Boers have taken Calenso, a small
town south of Ladysmith, and this
means that they have possession of
the railroad to the sea at an important
bridge, the destruction of which will
break off communication for some
time to come. Colenso is not of especial
importance to the British. The
garrison abandoned it without a fight.
This was because it is surrounded by
hills from which it could be quickly
reduced by artillery. The possession
by the Boers of the bridge over the
Tugela river, however, is of very great
importance.
It is reported that strong detachments
of Boers that had been seut to
look after the Zulus have completed
their work- and are returning to Jouberl's
army around Ladysmith. This,
of course, reudcrs less probable the
possibility of General White being
able to -break through the cordon by
which be is surrounded.
It develops that the original intention
of General Buller was to iuvade
the Trausvaal through the Urange
Free State, with Cape Towu, East
London aud Port Elizabeth as passes ;
but the quick movements of the Boers
seems to have complicated these arrangements.
Dispatches say that Orange
Free Stale troops have iuvadod
Cape Colony. A majority of the
whites of Cape Colony are Boers, ami
they are expected to precipitate a civil
war which, of itself, will be sufficient
to occupy a large portion of general
Buller's army.
There seems to be a feeling in England
that General Butler canuot afford
to do anything now before he goes to
General While. Even if he should be
successful in his campaign through the
Orange Free State to the Transvaal,
> he could not reach White by that route
under two months, and by that time
White would be starved into surrender.
If he goes as well to the relief of General
White, he will have all he cau do
with the forces at bis command to
raise the sieve, and there is a feeling!
that notwithstanding the large army
that has been raised for service in
South Africa, it is only about half as
large as will be necessary.
Since the foregoing, later news, published
in the papers of Monday and
Tuesday, has been received. Some of it
is by carrier pigeon from Ladysmilh,
and some of it has been communicated
in various other ways.
The total losses of the Irish Fusiliers
and Gloucestershire regiment at Lang's
Neck are now estimated at less than
400 men, of which 343 were captured.
The correspondent of the London Daily
Mail says that the Boers are very
kiud to the British prisoners. Many
of the Boers wanted the embroidered
belts worn by the prisouers to keep as
souvenirs of the victory. Iu some
cases the belts were turned over without
a word. Iu other cases the Brit
ish explained that they had their
monthly pay iu their bells and the
Boers relused to take their tnouey or
allow them to be robbed. The ouly
attempt at robbery was by a German
soldier, and the Boers made him give
back his loot. The Boers speut the)
afternoon after the buttle siuging
psalms of victory.
A dispatch published yesterday accounts
for the strict censorship by a
change in the plaus of Geueral Buller.
He is now reported to he arranging to
land 20,000 troops at Durban us soon
as possible for the relief of Geueral
While at Dadysmitb.
It is reported that the negroes of
Basutoland, in the northern part of
Cape Colony, have become very restless
at tbe operations of the Orange
Free State troops, and that their head
chief has asked the British authorities
to give him permission to go against
the Boers with 20,000 men.
The British public has grown very
serious over the reverses the British
have sustained in South Africa. The
euthusiasm of a few weeks ago is described
as having beeu changed to
grim determination. While there is a
common feeliug that Great Britain has
already paid a larger price than was
expected altogether in the achievement
of her ends in South Africa, still
it is geuerally recognized that under
no circumstances can the British afford
to be beaten. It would be too serious
a blow to the prestige of The Empire
in all parts of the world.

discharged their obligations by settling
their accounts. Others have not.
To the former I tender my most sincere
thanks, and beg to assure them that their
action is appreciated even more, if possible,
than it would have been were I in a
position to give my business my personal
attention, which is, of course, impossible,
owing to my continued illness and consequent
absence from home. To those who
have not vet settled, I desire to sav that
their IMMEDIATE ATTENTION is
greatly desired, and that I expect everyone
who owes me anything to settle
without further delay. Please bear in
mind this is not intended for your neighbor?unless
he owes me?but to YOU, if
y<hi have not settled in full.

have been unable to get plows
promptly. I am pleased to be able to
state to those who placed orders with me
during the past two or throe weeks, that I
expect their plows this (Wednesday) afternoon,
and will deliver on Thursday if
called for. In the lot to arrive are a few
not yet promised, and those who want
