Lonpon, Dec. 6.— The latest news from Ladysmith is dated Nov. 27.

On to¥n,

that day the Boers shelled

without, however, causing serious damage.

The situation continues practicatly un- but the garrison is anxiously awaiting relief.

There is vo fresh news of the British advance in Natal.

Five spans of the railway bridge at Colenso were blown into the river; but the road bridge apparently remains intact,

Nothing is known regarding Methuen’s advance. But in many quarters it is be- lieved that hia arrival in Kimberl-y may be affected this week.

In Cape Colony the Boers have fallen back upon Galesburg.

General French’s force is anxious to be

allowed to advance but is not strong enough vet to undertake an offensive movement.

Gen, Gatacre is moving north.

The Cape Attorney General will, it is reported, probably proceed to England as ambassador of the Bond to negotiate for & cessation of hostilities and eecure the in- dependence of the Free State. Bat the British Government is unlikely to enter into any negotiations until war has been definitely concluded.

Lonpon, December 6.— The Telegraph’s

correspondent at Pietermaritzburg, in a despatch dated November 20.b, says that Genera! Joubert, the Boer commander, it alive aud well.

London, Dec. 6.—The Daily Mail saye: General Yule, who succeeded to the com- mand of General Symons, after the latter had been fatally wounded at Dundee, is about to return nome, his health having been broken under the strain of the ex- posure to which he has been subjected in Natai following his arduous campaign in India.

LoxDox, Dec. 6.—The Telegraph pub- lishes a deepatch dated, ‘‘Modder River,’, which gives additional details of the fight.

It says that the two British ran out

ing there. batteries were twe

of ammunition and

compelled to retire. They lost y~five horses, and the horses of the officets were used to assist the gurs out of the action.

A driver, t) ough shot through the lung, drove his gun oat. Methuen’s original intention was to take the town with tle bayonet after dark; but the troops were too ex- hausted.

The enemy left many rifl2s and quanti-

The Boers now occupy a strong posi- tion on the ridge six miles north of the town.

Death by Starvation of Three Men Who Found Rich Diggings.

Vancouver, Dec 5.—The steamer Dan- ube, from Skaguay, brings oews of death by starvation of M. C. Daly, of Boston, andtwo Frenchmen. Last fall two Ameri- cans named Lawler and Smithson formed a partnership with the otherthree. About Christmas they began to stake grourd on Bonanza river. A_ blizzard came on. Daly and the two Freachmeo became separated from the other ‘wo, and were lost. They wandered away without provi- sions, and with scant clothing and blankets, and a single tent. After the storm Lawler and Smithscn followed their footsteps ip the snow. ‘They ‘ound messages written on trees telling a sad iale of privation and suffering. A few days later their camp was found.

Ono the ground, his form wasted to a mere skeleton, was the corpse of one of the Frenchmen. The kettle on the camp stove contained a frozen mass of rawhide thongs of snowshoes, which the men had attempted to use for food. Daly’s body was found a short distance away, and securely buckled around his hollow ribs was a buckskin belt containing $1,000 in gold dust, with a scrawled note that they bad found rich diggings. Lawler will leave here in % few days for his bome in New York.
