London, Dec. 80 Many American are
serving In the British Army under Gen
eral Buller at Cblerely camp below
Colenso. In the British Mounted Brigade
there are 75 Americans, and in one com
mand there are 450. The British officers
say they are fine soldiers and more
would be welcomed. The presence of
the Amei leans Is regarded here as an
indication of friendship between the two
nations.
The reports published In the "yellow
Journals" that Lord Salisbury is abeut to
resign as Premier are ridiculously un
founded. It is pronounced a very silly
canard. It is declared that there never
was a moment in the previous life of
Salisbury when he was more needed at
the head of the government or when he
felt his own duty In office more keenly.
Only Ibis week Lord Ballsbury has
been giving his personal sttentlon to the
problem of supplying the troops under
General Robe r Is and equitably and effi
ciently financiering the war budget. The
budget will surely take three hundred
million ponnds sterling $800,000,000).
Chievkly Camp, Natal, December 30
A great explosion in the vicinity of
Lsiljsiuhb was seen this evening. It was
probably caused by a shell from Lady
smith bursting in the Boers magazines.
ftative scouts report overbearing the
Boers making plans to meet the British
in the open country. The Boers have
miles of barbed wire endangering the
tho neighborhood of Colenso at points
where an attack Is expected.
Heavy firing was again heard from
Ladysmilh The guns began before sun
rise. A patrol of the South African Light
Horse, under Colonel Byng, reports that
there have been no Boer seen south of
the Tngela river or west of Colenso for
48 flours, and that they have retired to
the norlli bank. They weie doubtless
afraid lest the swollen river should bar
their retreat.
Bkiilim, December 30 The news of
the seizure of the German steamer Bun
desratb off African coattt by the British
cruiser Magician has stirred up a storm
here. It is claimed that none of the cargo
was contraband. It Is claimed that the
Foreign ofllce has promised to Investi
gate the affair at once.
LoHDeH, December 80 On board the
steamer Bundearath which was seized
by a British cruiser were three German
offlcers and twenty men attired In khaki
uniforms en route to the Transvaal
ltallar Kelnforoed.
London. Dec. 29. Since fighting the
battle of Colenso General Buller has re
ceived reinforcements of 8,000 men and
18 guns.
The Tugela has risen and Is still rising
thus dolag the first part of General Bui -ler'a
task of clearing Ihnlawe Mountain,
on the south bank of the river, for htm
by the fact of the river remaining In flood
but leaving Buller with the swollen
stream bef or hlra. There Is now good
reason tc expect that as soon as the To
gela drops again, In ten days or so, Bailer
will make a great effort for the relief of
Ladysmllh.
Though Ladysmllh dispatches state
that the town can hold out for all weeks
