side news, writes that on-Honday iuoin
! ig General Warren's division was
encamped between Springlield, where
Uenaral Bullet at the time had his head
quarters, and Bethany, five miles north
of the former pluce, and that Duller had
assuredly one, and it was believed two,
passages of the river i i his hands.
A careful study of lopograpblcal con
ditions shows the wisdom of such con
centration on tbe extreme British le.'t.
The plan would be to tum the heights to
the north and northwest of Colenso, aud
ihus compel their evacuation; then la
attack the Boets on the left between
Buller rnd General White.
There is considerable ground for be
lieving that the Boers around Lodyamlth
are preparing for some such attack, al
though they are not turd from which do
ruction it will come. A late dispatch
from the besieged town reports signs of
Boer preparations bein made for a pos
sible retreat. lifts to the north and
west are being fortified, while a few big
guns biive bei'i posted lo comiii.itid a
British approach from the south, t'n
dotibledly the burghers know the peril
o' lieing caught between two armlet., to
which they are exposed, and as they all
along have been excoilenllv sctved by
their scouts, the movements of General
Buller are pei impj by no moans mysteri
