Lonpon, Jan’y. 5.— While Colenso re- mains the centre of interest, operations have proceeded elsewhere, which, serve to |

——

Tbe Dutch forces have made a telated effort to follow up their victory at Storm- berg by an advance upon Molteno and Cyphergate. But General Gatacre sent infantry anda battery of artillery to re- lieve the Cape Police, aod they reoccupied both villages after a brisk artillery fire.

Two Dutch commandos which had skirmished with the outposts of the ad vanced British camp, retreated when the

shells begun to burst among them.

Genera! Gatacre’s official report shows , that the police have retired from Dor- drecht and taken a position on Indeoe Lunnelo, and that a company of mounted infautry had reconnoitered Pruska,

While the shirmishing is on a smal scale there is evidence that General Ga- tacre is all right and vigilant, and that the scoutisg work is well done.

Reinforcements have been sent frrm DeAsr to General French who is still hovering about Cvlesburg and apparently manozuvering to cut off the retreat of the Boers to the railway bridge, having al- ready blocked their passage by the road

ie hetter, more secure, and more hopeful for us than since the outbreak of hostil- ities. This isthe case eleewhere, but par- ticularly so inthe Natal. The invasion of thie colony is now slowly—perhaps many will say too elowly—but surely, being rolled back. To-day the country is secure from the foe practically from Celenso south.

A few raiders may for 4 short time, venture along the hills as far as Estcourt. But I doubt ifeven they will water their horees again inthe Mooi River. Ladysmith is holding out well. Ledyemith,althougb on account ofits situation, the place is difficult to defend, continaes easily to hold out, and is repelling ihe Boers attacks; for

j the enemy bave never relished coming to

close quarters, nor have they chown any capacity for assaulting British positions. Tucir one method isto catch our trocops inthe open from cover and over whelw them with fire.

for not mary more days will Laay- smith’s gallaot garrison be required to lie low behind their works. The relief columa will surely free their hands from guarding town and camps, and enable them to cut in upon the retreating com~ manos.

To-day, General Buller has withio bail a force of all arms equel to that of the

Boers be vigorous and persistent, many prisoners and guos and much spoil should fall into General Bulle:’s hande, the ie. varion by the republics forces be terminat- ed, and the end of the war certainly be vrought within few monthe distance.

Help for the Boers

Puitapeieats, Jan. 4,—The movement in this city tosend assistance to the Boers received renewed impetus last night, when the association known as the Knights of the Red Brench beld an adjourned meet- ing here and decided to extend all posst- bie aid to President Kruger.

Old Man Gone.

Lowpon, Jan. 4.—Thomas Kite, the old parish clerk ef Shakespeare’s church, has quickly followed the custodian of Anne Hathaway’s cottage tothe grave. He was 91 years ofage, and succeeded his father and grandfather half a century ago, and was well known to all dramatic cele- brities. Among those whom he conduct ed to Shakespeare’s tomb were Sir Walter Scott, Washington Irving, Dickens, Hm- merson, Booth, Kean and Nathaniel Hav- thorne.

Lonpoy, January 4.-—Senior wrangler bids fair to become a thing of the past at

Cambridge, the board of matkemathics haviag recommended the aboiition of this | coveted distinction im future. If the sen- } ate agrees, ag is probable, the wranglers willall be classed alphabetically, and none will know who is the cleverest mathematician of the year. For thie honor men bave worked themselves crazy, and it has been secured by some of the most prominent figures in English history.
