The first j particu lars -of General Buller' s movement by way of Springfield reached London at 2 o'clock this morning from the New York Sun correspondent who is ac companying the 'Ladysmiitli relief col umn. The dispatch was too late for the lirst edition of the London news- i .miners. It was dated "Suearmas Farm." It is evidently not far from Tugela River. The dispatch makes it clear that practically the .whole 'of Buller's column is now to the west ward of tlie Boer position at .Coaenso, and that vsome Ugliiting occurred on the part of General Warren's division, thougli reference to this is somewhat obscure. ! There is sitill no official news of the movement since Buller's dispatcih of January 11, with the exception of a brief, unsa:tisfactoT3r dispatch issued by the War Office yesterday, Stating that there bad 'leen one death from dvsentery among the troops near SprimgtfitJd and one man had been wounded in a reconnoissance along the Tugela River, January 15. cinnat'i.
