Depression over the defeat of Great
Pritain's trusted and Idolized com-n-ander
is all the greater as, during
the last 48 hours, thore had been re
ports of the relief of Ladysmith. Yes
lerdviy the war otlice allowed il to be

The rviK-tion is all the more pr 'nounc-

. Tt had hardly b?on realized until
nttv, even afVr the experince of the
wok. that Grt.-ral Buller could fall.
Virtually nothing had been . allowed
to leak through regarding his prepa
rations, but the public waited patient
ly in the conflilent belief thtt he was
baking such lime and precaution as
would ensjr; succeis.
No Independent wport'j of the en
gagement have yet beu allowed to
corre through, but Gonv-ral Buller's
own dispxitch tells tne sad story in
sufTTient ou'.line to show that the
British have bi entrapped agatn by
the nstuti Boers. It Ih expected that
he will ren-.xv. th tnttack shortly.
Inim-xliat-Hy upon receiving the news
