General Buller' advance troops hay
crossed the Tugela river at Oolenso, and
tbe relief of Ladysmilh f believed here
t ) have been practically accomplished.
The news of General Bullor's advancf
Is couUined In the : following dis
path: "Blomafaun, Katal,Tueadt.y afternoon,
4:10 o'clock. Tbe FuIIeer Brigade
yesterday, took illaugwane hill, the
right of the enemy's position and com
manding Colenso, the rest et Ihe forces

"This morning the enemy had with
drawn all their troops north ot the Tu

lenso. - ' . ' '
"Today General Hart occupied Colenso
after - a very- slight resistance from
the weak tear guard. ' We hold the
line on the sou. h side of tbe Tugela
river from Colenso to Eaglet Nest.
"The enemy aeems to be la full re
treat and apparently are oaly holding
the position they uow occupy across the
railroad from Colenso to Ladysmlth at a
point where the railroad- Inclose to the
angle of the Tugela. ThN position la held

London. Feb 19. It Is officially and
emphattoallv' ' stated . here that Great
Britain, has never at any time made any
diplomatic or ether advances for an al
liance with the United States or Ger
many. :.,.vfVs&-.C)v-'5?'!'.
So far as this denial refers to the
United States It Is confirmed at tbe Uni
ted States Embassy here. ; - "
In consequence of Lord Hojeberry's
recent speech cabled references to such
attempts at alliance continue to appear
in the Brltlih newspapers, though the
view Is taken here that Lord Roseberry
referred to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain's al
liance Speech rather than to any secret
negotiations, as his wordl were "public
overtures last December," 7 1
Do action hat yet been taken by the
British Government In regard to the al
legations made by Charles E : Vaornm,
former United 8lates Consul at Pretoria.
British officials declare It is extremely
Improbable that consular- letters -were
