IiONDOM, Doc. 19. A. apodal , from
Cliereley Camp, Natal, giret Uie delalli
of ihe battle at Tufela rifer."' ' . - ; s
Tbe, iummary of th dispatch It that
General Bulier faand the potlllon of tue
Boeri to itrong too be taken by assault
and their forcea too large tor attack
f-om the front That General Bailor
himself was everywhere tn the thlokeit
of the flftht, and that the Boera ealimata
their loia as Leavv and wish they bad
never aeon Coleoao.
The special gives the report, of- the
battle at follows; Two camp of the
Boera north of the Tugela river were
located and Hart's Irish brigade with
field guns was seotiTeatward two miles
and ordered to cross tbe river and follow
tb north bank to the bridge.
General Hildyard'a brigade wa or
HkiwUia sdranna aorosa the brldre with
the objedt of captaring the' kepjes on
the north aide of the river, ;
A thousand cavalry and one battery of
artillery was seat to the extreme right.
For the purpose of enuladlng : the
bridge the 87th and 14ih batteries Under
Colonel Long were sent within five liun
dred yards of the Boer rifle pits, v .
In addition to the rifle Ore from tbe
pit, tbe Boera opened a shell tire from
Grobler's Kloof. Under this Ore the ar
tillery horses were killed and Colonels
Long aud Hum and aiL tbe other; arlil
lery officers were wounded. ' ten guna
were left on the ground at they , could
not be drawn oXf. ' ' -.
Meantime , General' Hart't forcea on
the extreme left met with a hot shell sod
crost Ore of musketry and .were com
polled to retire temporarily, , A second
advance was made by General Hart and
about noon h crossed the Tugela and
made a atong reconnolasance. The Boers
were compelled to show their positions
in the hills where they were lnlrcached
In tiers. "When the position was, found
too strong; t assault. ,.Uart" retired
across the river. ; "" ,". .
Tbe main advance la the tight drove
the Boers out of Colento. This force
included the Fuslleers and the cavalry,
Thornydrofla mourlted Infantry lost 42
killed and wounded in this advance.
The entire force, which was the Lady
smith relief column, then -retired to
Cbeveley. Comparatively few men. were
killed In the action, a rough estimate
being oa, wounded. V All branches of the

LonooH, Dec. 10 Early this morning
it I learned through a source- which la
QAUtlly inspired by the best authority
that late lat night two Iniportaut tils
pttcbes from General Bailer were re
ceived In London. ; t . '
One of these dispatches. It U reporteJ
stated that Ueaeral Bulier had made
second attempt to eras Ike Tugela
river, and after a til II fight hul succeed
ed In doing so. At wbat point tblsorott
lug wat made was not ttated, nor was
rtnythtng- said aa to whether tbe Boers
bad been driven out of their Intrench
menta. , - . '
i The Other dispatch. It h said, was to
the effect that General Metuuen's com
munlcallona had been cnt off, and
flank attack threatened the safety of bli
cofuinn. - ; .
At the War Office Inquiry as to aews
from General Bulier elicited tbe evasive
reply that the War Ofllce had no newt
to Issue at present. As a rule, tho answer
at the' War'Offlce to questions of thi
kind it that no further news has been
received. . -
s Many lcltors written to the Londo
nanert direct criticisms tjralnst some of
the departments of the War Office,
against Jllchail Ulckt-Ueach, trains
General Bulier and atralnut Lord 'VoUe-
lcy. In the eyet of many, Wolieley It
lifld respeualulo for nialnlalnlng tiia
pnaltlon' of corumauiler-in-clilef for
teveral years, knowing, as he mutt have
known, that the anUn'mtr-,1 lWiilih artil
lery would be tiUiiii)(ol on lit first
