A Lisbon, Portugal, dispatch of No

George Stewart White, British com
mander in Natal, has capitulated to

Tlio general belief in London is that
tho Boers are now waiting for more
g-uns from Pretoria before attacking
Ladysmith. The fact that Sir Rcdvcrs
miner appears 10 nave ordered a re
tirement from Stromberg, and perhaps
from other places, relieves to some ex

It is dominated by tho hills on the

able if the Boers have advanced us
they seem to have done. Moreover,
only a small naval and colonial force
was stationed nt Colenso.
The seriousness of tho evacuation,
however, lies In tho fact that Com
mandant General Joubert, while com
pletely investing Sir George Whlto at
Ladysmlth, can slezo this Tugela
