awaited, as It Is generally realized
today there was little warrant for
the exultation which followed the
announcement of his repulse of the
Boers. The remarkable revelation tn

Is reaUned that General White's
troops cannot be expected to greatly
prolong such ardous defense. In
some quarters It is considered unao
countable that Buller did not press a
passage of the Tugela while the
Boers were engaged northwards, and
comments upon hh apparent suplne
ness are nowise complimentary.
From Boer headquarters it is re
