I.ONHOX, Fob. 5. A correspondent of
the Ancociated Press learnt) from an of
ficinl source that absolutely no canflrma
tlon has been received by t!.o war office
of Hie report that Duller has recreated
the Tugela river and is marching on
Ladysmith. On the contrary, according
to the information of the war office at
the present moment, there ie every in
dication that things are quiet at the
front, and that no immediate movement
it anticipated.
Keurdii) dispatches from Ladyemitb
paying Huller's guns bavo been beard
there, it Ih surmised that some practice
may have been going on with new
butteries which have just reached the
front. The war office statement tbut it
has received no confirmation of the re
port that Duller has recrossed the Tugela
river has failed to shake the public be
lief that operations of tremendous im
portance are proceeding on the Tugela,
and it is thought that either the denial
was prompted by a desire to keep the
military movements as secret as possible
until something is accomplished, or that
liuller is keeping the home office in the
dark pending results.
It ie obviously extremely difficult to
extract the truth from tiie conflicting
statements regarding Duller's move
ments, but moet of the commentators
agree that the gist of the items tend to
confirm the belief that movements of im
portance nre in progress. It is true
correspondents at 'Sutler's headquarters
convey the impression that his mail
forcd is still south of the Tugela, but it is
equally conceivable that the dispatches
are so censored.
London, Feb. 5. A special dispatch
from Durban dated todav save:
"There is no definite news from Duller,
but it is reported there was heavy fight
tug yesterday."
