Army IS MAKING A FORWARD MOVE-

|

Specrat. DESPATCH

NO NEWS,

Lonpox, Jan 10.—The world has been cut off from al) information respeeting Yerneral Buller’s army since the reconnais- ance of Saturday last.

The War Office wae silent yesterday and the bulletin boards were empty.

Io the clubs, well-informed men are confident that the army has been ir motion. On Monday the officers lingered till midnight ‘expecting to receive tidioge of some great stroke. The censorship is closer than at aay time.

No fresh details of the Ladysmith vic~ tory have been received and General Bul- ler’s plan of campaign remains an inserut-

able mystery. A THEORY.

The theory has been advanced that Morrino’s division bas made a detour and will cross the Tugela 17 miles belew Colenso. It is said that Morrin’s bead~- quarters have beer established at Katcourt and the Weenan ia occupied by British troops.

Ramour has it that the Free State troops are turning to the relief of Coles-

burg. THE SEIZURES.

TO THE EXAMINER.

Embasssy bad received, at a late hour yesterday afternoon, any answer from the Foreign office respeeting the important question raised by the seizures at Delegoa Bay.

It is evident that law officers af the Crown are making close study of the ques- tions and are looking up the precedente in English, American end German law bear- } ing upon them.

There is some reason to believe that the

| United States and German Embassies are trying \o find a common ba3is upon which po can co-operate in pressieg their re- spective demands agsiost Great Britain respecting the Delagoa Bay seizures. DUFFERIN’S SON. |

Loxpow, Jan. 10.—The causalties sus- tained by General White in the defence of Ladysmith on Saturday, have not yet been announced by the war office.

Lord Dufferin, according to a Belfast telegrams, has received official confirmation ot the report that his eldest son, the Berl of Alva, was wounded during the esgage~ mest.

Iv is etated that the Queen telegraphed her cengratulations to the garrison on the succeesful defence of the town.

The Jatest intelligence from Frere says, **All quiet at Ladysminth and Chievelry on Sunday.”

SOME ONE BLUNDERED.

The Boer trenches at Mugersfontein are said to be in progress of still further ex- tension.

Accounts continue to be received of the Battle of Megersfontein from aoldiers who took part in the fighting. It seeme clear that some one blandered.

It is even said that General Wauchope remonstrated with Lord Methuen about the plans before leaving camp. Bat Lord Methuen only told him to obey orders. Under the circumstances, Wauchope, pathetic words when he fell, “Don’t blame me my lade,” have a painful interest.

The Mail understands that the super- cession of another general commanding in South Africa will shortly be an- nonneed,

Schurman, second daughter of Alfred Scburman, aged forty-tive yeare. She leaves a sorrowing father and mother, two sisters and a browber, besides a large eircle of relatives and friends to mourn; but they mourn mot as those who have 00 hope. Inher sickness she exid she was net alone, ehe had her Saviour with her. She was ever a kind friend in sickneea or distress, aud was ever ready to help the poor. Shedied with a full aseurasce of a juperions immortality beyond death and the grave.
