London, Feb. 21. ? The war oflico do- 0
clares it is unablo to substantiate tho r
reports of tho reliof of ladysraith. But
this does not t revent tho public from ^
believing the queen has again fore- j

of Windsor, just as yesterday sho dramatically
announced, through Lord
William Cecil, crnnunndcr of a militia
corps, tidings of General Bulier's success
hours before tho war t liico was
bio to roliove the impatient anxiety of
the United Kiugdom.
Nevertholo-a ao the queen's words aro
not actually quoted in today's announcement
< Metal confirmation ic
eagerly awaited, especially us General
Bailer's dispatch of yesterday is very
generally regarded as foreshadowing a
junction of bis and General White's
forces some time today. Public interest

Further details of ti.a attack mado by
Colonel Planter's t'croe on the Boors'
Eositiou defended by a I mpounder, near
Irocodilo Pools, not far from Gaberones,
show that as the Brit.sk were

the British charged, but tho lloers exSloded
