Towa gife a strong impression that

that another desperate effort will bs

Tbe possibility of Gso Bailer making

1,600 When reinforcements arrived
tbe troopa were much cramped on
tbe top of Spion kop Preparations
were made below to secure tbe
position, guns were on the way and
engineers bad been ordered op to

Col Thorneyoroft waa not aware of
thia when he ordered the retirement,
and he actually met tbe artillery
comoig up
Gen Woodgate waa wounded about
2 o'clock in tbe afternoon Even
then be protrated that be waa all

It ie reported that the Boer com
n.er.der at first inaieted on the release
of eome Boer prisoners before he
would permit the English to collect
their wounded

It is generally supposed Geo. Butler

Referring to the military situation at

"Owing to the strength of our posi?
