_-\ correspondent of the London

Times writing from L'i.d_vs1iith gives much more dctinite information in re- gard to the situation within that town in the early days of the siege than we have yet seen. From this account it appears that Gen. \\'hi.e’s total force is about 9,000 men, of whom but little over 5,000 are regular infantry,

and the naval contingent. 7 Be has 36 lield guns and two naval guns. \\`ithout the latter he would have been unable to hcld his position, as the field guns have only an eHec~

of Gen. White and his little f.-ree holding a. small, concentrated position. He had to occupy the hillsand kopjes surrounding Ladysmith, or they would have been seized one after another by the enemy. These out- posts make an irregular circle extend- ` ing for eleven miles around the town , To hold such extended lines while surrounded bya force two or three times as great as his own was the Herculean task to which Gen. White , set himself to work, and nobly has he ` performed it. ` The Times correspondent tells that the Mauser rifles with which the Boers are armed are superior to the Bri- tish small arms, and of greater range. With a Mauser rifle and a good pair of lield glasses it is possible to make tolerable practice at 3,000 yards. The

The inequality of wea- pons is, however in part equalised by the inferrior ammunition with which the Boer artillery is served. The enemy has, fortunately for us, been cheated by the ammunition contrac- tors.

the right of Britain to blockade it and prevent the admission of any goods or merchandise that would be of use to the enemy. As to ship- ments made by neutrals to Delagoa Bay there is a pretty general agree- ment as to Britain’s right to stop the importation there of arms, muni- tions of war or soldiers for the ene- my‘s armies. But the right to seize and stop the importation of foodstuR's

is challenged.

The challenge is made on two grounds. One of these is that inter- E national law and usage will not war- rant such seizure. The other ground is that Britain cannot afford to estab- lish the precedent of declaring food to be contraband in this case, because she, herfelf, receives half her ordinary food supplies from over the sea and

would be in danger of being starved, d into submission in case of a war with

two or more great powers, who would then declare food to be contraband and plead Britain’s present action as their justification. This objection is
