NEW YOIIK, Feb. 10,-The war office in London has given out no confirma tion of the report that General Puller's forces had retired again to the sonth side of the Tugela. The Boer teleprams have been generally correct hitherto, however, and the public inclines to the belief that the report Is accurate. The t.ndon morning papers publish dispatch a from various sources which L indicate that General Puller had found his position on the Vaal Krantz HJ0'e a dill c ili one to hold and the silence from thc war office Is taken as a cor roboration of the report that the third attempt to relieve Ladysmith has fai ed. Military critics are almost unan imous in th'.- b-lief that Ladysmith cannot hold out against another Boer attack. One London paper strongly hints that General Duller's operations are for the purpose of distracting the attention of tne P.oers fr"m a projicted central ad vance by a strong, force presumably headed by Lord Roberts. The government announcement that In three week's time Lord IloU-rta will have 194,000,000 'men in South Africa, tMeiisifles the public curliwlty to un veil that closest official secret as to wlit-re this stupendous force is. High authorities agree that Lord iloberts after safeguarding his com munications will have a force of from JS.ijOO to 40.000 men for his northward march. Estimates as to how many LoeiK he will have to face are mere 3 wnr!(, so much depends upon the fate of Ladysmith and the number of Boers released from that point. Ex traordinary efforts have been made by the censor to conceal Lord lioberts' destination, but the general Idea seems to be that he contemplates an advance towards ' Dloenfonteln. A late , dispatch from Sterkbtrom statcf that a Britishr patrol, consist ing o' a sergeant ar.d six men of Bra bant's horse, at Brown's farm, was sui prised and captured early yester day morning. The relief sent from Pen hoek blundered on SCO Boers. One man of the Cape mounted rifles, whose noise was shot, was captured but the otner-i escaped. A Frenchnan, who is sjpposed" to be a spy. was caught and brought to Sterkftrom camp tonight. There ' hus been no further fighting today Patrols sent out this morning Jury Returns a Verdict of Murder in the First Decree.
