BOERS FORTIFY POSITION
Strengthen Their Intrcnolinicnts Until
lrnrtlcally Iiiiprpgiiiible
London Dec 28 Winston Church
Ills uow arrival at Ohioveloy camp is
perhaps responsible for somo over-coloring
of tho gravity of tho situation but
all todays news convoys tho impression
that Buller may bo intending another
attack upon tho Boor position
Certainly tho Boers are not inactive
At both Moddor river and tho Tugela
they are said to bo strengthening their
forces and extending tho defenso works
which in both cases aro seemingly al
most impregnable
Dispatches from Ohioveley indicato
that General Bullers forces will romob
ilizo at Frero before attempting another
advance Doubtless ho would be glad to
rotriovo tho Colon so or- hefo tho
arrival of Lord Roborf s yot ho is hardly
likely to attempt another frontal attack
It is more likely that ho is preparing to
strike should the Boers mako any of
fensive movoment
1 Mr Churchills reference to Lady
smith may imply that tho situation of
tho garrison is moro desperate than had
been supposed Tho Boers continuo
fortifying the hills commanding tho
town General White however helio
graphs that all was well in Ladysmith
on Deo 26
Competent military critics in London
regard tho campaign as at a comploto
deadlock for the present owing to tho
dispersal of tho British forces and owing
to lack of adequate transports Thoy
think it will bo many weeks before
Lord Roberts is able to reorganize and
mako an effective move
The Boer trench work is so good that
it enables tho enemy to hold a long lino
with fow mon and to travel great dis
tances under cover so as to rapidly re
inforco any point attacked
i The Times says It is difficult to
avoid tho conclusion that our troubles
are duo to the unreality of tho presum
edly practical lessons given in tho ma
neuvers at Aldershot
Dispatches from Modder River repre
sent Dutch disaffection in Gnnuilautl
west as growing very serious In somo
towns the entire Dutch population has
joined tho Boers The rebols havo
formed a laager at a point about 30
miles west of Modder River camp
It is also announced that tho Boors
have raised tho seigo of Kurumau and
havo all withdrawn to Magersfoutein
The Capo Town correspondent of tho
Times under dato of Friday Dec 22
6ay6 Anxiety regarding tho attitude of
tho colonial Dutch is steadily growing
Thoy make no effort to conceal their
sympathy for tho two republics and tho
only question now is whether if tho
military situation is not changed will
thoy keep from open rebellion Even
in districts not visited by the Boers in
tho eastorn part of tho provinco tho
Dutch farmers aro riding about armed
This is tho caso also in districts only SO
miles from Capo Town where a seditious
movement is busily propagated Tho
British forces aro iuadequato to guard
1000 iniles of communications
A dispatch to tho Timos from Mafokiug
eays that Lady Sarah Wilson who was
tsaptured by tho Boors while acting as
correspondent for a Lopdon paper has
arrivod thero having beep exchanged
for Viljoen a notorious horsethief and
conviot
A special correspondent of tho Daily
Chronicle Inh rapliug from Stork
stroom Capo Colony says Strong
measures are nocossary to check tho hos
tile fooling among tho Dutch colonics
whoso sedition is shown in the removal
of railway bolts tho obstruction of
bridges and culverts and attacks upon
fcolitary horsemen Disaffection is bound
to increase unless immediate reinforco
ments aro forthcoming Tho loyal
Dutch and British settlers aro becoming
ularmingly impationt
