ASSAULT. __
_ LADYSMITH

Meanwhile Both Armies
~ Are Massing for a
Decisive Battle.

London, Dec. 4.—The' budget of news from Ladysmith,which
arrived this morning, brought the history of the beleaguered gar-
rison up to Noyember 29th, In spite of rumors of a retrogade
movement upon the part of the Boers, the stories just received
show that the garrison, although still strong, was suffering from
confinement, restricted diet and the increasing volume of the Boer
artillery fire, especially of the additional heavy calibre gun placed
in position,5000 yards from the western defences.

The dispatches relate that the Boers have discovered the most

: yulnerable positions of the garrison and that the shelling was be-

coming disagreeably effective. The rations-had been reduced and
there was a great deal of sickness. Nevertheless, the troops of
the garrison were in every way preparing to meet the assault
which ‘it was anticipated the Boers would Garry out in a final. at-
tempt to reduce the city. The belief was current in Ladysmith
that the Boers were preparing for a retrograde movement after,
another attack. Several bodies of Boers were reported to have
been seen on November 28th moving in the direction of the Drak-
enburg range, while on November 29th detachments were ob-
served journeying northward with wagons. - Discord between the
Tr lers and Free Staters is also reported. There is no in-

Decisive Battle Impending.

New York, Dec. 6.—London cable advices from Natal say
that the Boers have retired from Weenen, southeast of Colenso.
It looks asif part of Sir Francis Clery’s division had been - de-
The
first result of such a movement would be to drive any outlying
force of Boers across the Blaauwkrass river. Its subsequent ob-
ject ‘would be to work around so as to menace the enemy’s position
at Colenso from the east.

The Boer position on the Tugela has been made exceedingly
strong against any front attack, while the character of the coun-
try in this region largely helps Joubert’s disposition. The Boers
are reported to be in very great numbers at Groblers kloof and
elsewhere around Colenzo. From a British point of view, it is
hoped that the Boers will stand and await the attack in a given
position. Should they spread themselves in mobile bodies along
the coure of the Tugela, the result would be something like guer-
illa war. The delay which has occurred to the British advance
can be explained not only by General Buller’s desire to get up an
overwhelming number of batteries, but also by some carefully
planned and extensive movement whereby the Boers’ position at
Colenso may.be attacked from the north, south, east and west.
The Boers are said to be confident of capturing Ladysmith unless
thelr lines can be turned. The conflict will be a most desperate
one and will task Buller’s resources.

General Methuen, it is reported, resumes his advance toward
Kimberly today in p u d of his col His delay
is explained by the need of ‘bringing .up more ammunition and
concentrating large supplies for Kimberley, which is in great straits
for food.

It is reported that fighting has taken place at Arundel, be-
tween General French’s force, which is advancing from Naauw-
port, and the Free State commanders.

The two relief expeditions now in progress must not be con-
fused with the general scheme of invasion of the Boer republics.
When Kimberly is relieved most of its inhabitants will go south,
and.it will become the advanced base for the invasion of the Free
State. Stores of all kind will have to be brought from De Aar to
Kimberly before any advance toward the east can begin. This is
a matter of weeks, not of days. The relief of Ladysmith will be
the beginning of the Transvaal campaign. The Natal operations
will be directed mainly against the Transvaal Boers. It is quite
possible that the defeat of General Joubert’s force will be followed
by the invasion of the Transvaal, not from the Orange Free State,
as originaliy intended, but from Natal.

RIVALRY OF BIC GITIES

Vancouver Outdoes Viotoria’s Liberal Sub-

_ soription for Relatives of the Gentlemen in
Khaki—A Shower of Silver Falls on the
Stage.

Vancouver, Dec. 6.—British Co-
lumbia has proved susceptible to
the appeal from the lord mayor of
London and has subscribed over
$3000 for the relatives ofthe ‘‘gen-
tlemen in khaki ordered South.”.
Victoria led the way by subscribing.
$1300 at two concerts. Vancouver,
always in friendly rivalry with Vic-
toria, has gone one better and has
given over $1600. The greatest
amount given at one time was ob-:
tained last night, when $1400 was
collected by means of the amatuer:
performance at the opera house.
The big house, the finest on the
Pacific north of San Francisco, was
crowded beyond its rightful capa-
city long before the orchestra com-
menced the overture and people ia
evening dress unavailingly offered
$1 for the privilege of standing.” -It
was an evening of triumph for Co-
lonial loyalty and incidentally for

|| the ladies. i

The. three chief items on the
programme were rendered by lad-
ies. . First of-all, Mrs. Tomlinson,‘
wife of one:of the naval officers: at
Esquimalt, recited Kipling’s ‘‘Ab-
sent minded beggar” and, in ‘reply

-to-her: pleading but imperious de-

mand to ‘‘pass the hats for ‘your
credit’s-sake .and..pay, pay, pay,”
the audience showered silver. pieces
on-the stage. until’ there was $260
piled around the fair lady draped
in the flowing folds of the white
ensign. Cheer after cheer rang out
atter Mrs. Herbert Kent recited -
William Wilfred Campbell’s ‘‘Our
Bit of the thin red line,” while
equally enthusiastic was the aud-
ience when Mrs. Walter Nichol,
in a neat cavalry uniform, sang
“Tommy Atkins.” Mesdames
Kent and Nichol are Ontario ladies.
