Meanwhile Abe reports from Lady-

to make the British position untenable

Ladysmith, ha aOeimetoli dated Became

concerning the anxiety with which the
movement of the relieving force is
awaited, and adds 'that 'on November

The Landon Daily Telegraph has' ree
ceived a series of despatohes from
Frere camp, bringing the Dew np 'to
Wednesday, but all show evidences of
the work ot the censor A significant
paragraph in one, dated Monday,
would seem to indicate that up to that
time General Bullerat advance; for tbe.
relief of Ladysmith had not begun.
The Brinsh ;mem here is increasing
in dimension"; daily We expect to
see Gemmel Buller in -the course of
a day or two. -
Repoits, of Wednesday's date,
brought by native ,messengers from
Ladysmith, state that eightry electric
searchlight messages are reiad by Gene
erai ViThite's force. They also declare
that there is dissension itx the Boer
cemps, and that numbers of the enemy
are wishtng to abandon the siege. The
Boers' supplies am said to be reening

A native runner, with Government
despatches from Ladysmith arrived at
Estcourt on Wednesday.
He reported that all winewell. Tbe
Boers have mounted Another 150 -
pounder on Beater's farm, but the gun
does no mere berm than the others.
Fewer Boers than formerly are now
stationed south of Ladysmith, preaum-
ably not more than six tbousand. The
enemy are now intent on defending
the passage of the Tugela at Coleus°.
A recent arrive!. front the Tugele
river says that else -Boers are in force
along the Drakensberg range at all
points from Mont aux Sources to Van
Rennin's pass, and that they are also
stretched across from the Di•akens-
berg range to Colenao et all strategi-

Apparently not many of the Free
