Report That 1600 British Troopers
Have Entered Ladysmith. -
Fighting Along a Series of IMdgetv
BoberU Will Vse Colonial
Cavalry. London An
f xlous "Over the '
Outcome.
London, January S3, General Buller
has reported nothing of his- 'operations
on Monday and official and press intelli
gence leaves the British bivouacked Sun
day night on the ground they had won
after two days fighting. r.
Military men assume that . fighting
must have taken place and that It was
probably more severs than on the - two
preceding days. General ..Buller would
not be likely to give the Boers leisure to
add to the elaborate intrenchments, to
arrange their artillery and to concentrate
their forces. - '
The special correspondents .Sunday
night were allowed to tend the an-r
nouncement that the battle would be
almost eertainlysresumedthe following
day, and hence official and popular an
xiety is at high tension. , l
Reinforcements, aggregating 4,000 or
more, have reached Cape Town during
the last three days. It is uncertain' how
these have been disposed, bat probably
most of them have been sent to . Natal,
where It is believed General Buller mods
them. . "
The discontent of the colonial officers
and their disagreements with the regu
lars are being inquired into by Lord
Roberta, who asserts that be will give
the Cape Colonials equal opportunities;
The War Office has decided not to
send the Seventeenth Lancers, Eighth
Hussars and Seventh Dragoon Guards to
South Africa, although mobilized. , It is
understood that Lord RoUrs does not
see a way to get fodder for the English
charges. S i
More than that, the English cavalry
are too heavy for work on the veldt, and
Lord Roberts expects to use Colonial
cavalry Instead, -
Durbak, Natal, Jan. 22, The state
ment comes from an excellent source in
Pietermarltzbatg that Lord Dundonald
has entered Ladysmith with -1,600 men
This is not confirmed fronT any other
quarter, but it Is known that Lord Du,n
donald's flying column has been acting
well to (he left of the line of advance.
' Spearman's Camp, .Natal,; Jan. 33.
General Warren's guns cannonaded,. the
Boer works occasionally last night.
The defences of the Boers consist of
numerous trenches, walls and redoubts,
for some of ! which the British troops
successively dislodged them ou Sunday
In daahlng style. ;. ' .
The Boers try to keep the majority, of
their men out ot range until they are ac
tually wanted, so do the British.
Most of the British wounded are doing
welL-iVr--':
A taming movement was tried by the
Boers on the lower ground on the Brit
Ith left, but two batteries of artillery and
the Devonshlret stopped and repulsed
them.;." . " . .;
. The - Boers have two 6 Incfi Creusotl'
guns, about four 16 pounders and two
machine cannon. Their shell fire did
little execution. ; The .British cannon
Maxln. and rifle fire was excellent
Despite the strength of tbelr works
and their numbers, the Boers, it is be
lieved in the British fcamp, are losing
heavily. The British losses to far have
been moderate, . ,
The British are now adept at advanc
ing and taking all available cover when
skirmishing.

' Wetstcr and Supreme Court
Wabhirotoh, Jan. 23 Talk and in
vestigation consequent upon tbe un
veiling of a handsome bronze statue of
Daniel Webster, in; Washington1' has
brought out the very Interesting fact
that Br. Webster, who was for a long
time one of the leading practitioners be
fore the United States Supreme Court,
never was formally admitted to practlc
before that Court.. In view of the atrlcr-
ness of that Court, it is difficult to under
stand the omission of. this form in Mr,
Webster's case, . The only-theory ad
vanced to. account -for it Is that .Mr
Webster was so well kcowS that it never
occurred either to him or members -oj
the Court, that he required to be formal
ly admitted to practice. , ,
