j M-. Ililte.ur said this morning la the
I Commons that the? Information received
1 by the Government Indicated that Duller
was not pres-lng his advances from tho
ptsltlon which ho still occupied o.-t
W ulnesday.
There wer. sill! other statements from
various sources which. In a measure, pre
lare.l the publo for the news that Duller
Iia.l foun.1 the Doers too strong at this
is.int of attack. Mr. Dennett DurMgh. la

! The concentration of a heavy- fire from
(the long-range guns, such as tho Boers had
mounted, probably rendered the position
' at solutely untenable. Thi3 Is the story of
the latest defeat.
This second retirement of Duller across
' the Tug. la s-etnp to rrove that ho has .1
t..sk beyond his power, unless large re-cn-forcements
ore sent to him. and th.s Is not

j Th'te is little or no prospect of the relief
of I.'i'ly smith being effected by tbe Nat 1

nificance of Iird Roberts's I reparatlnns to

no doubt are well !r formed.
The reisirt thit G. neral .MacDonald had
ba.cn orderel t" retlr- from Koodoosburg to
Modder River seems to be open to dnuht.
Lord Itol-rrts In his olilelal dispatch "ays
that "fighting Mac" had driven the Boers
back. The Dally Mall's correspondent, in
a dispatch elated Koodoosburg. Thursday
evening, makes no mention of any retire
in. nt. although the ngi-nvy dr-pat h. which
announced the backward movement, says
It tiKik plare on Thursdiy morning. Tho
censor's oversharp knife may have been
responsible for mud 111. g the first message.
The Daily News cnrreoni!ent says "The
Boers returned to their laagers on Thurs
day, and tho T.ntith are coming back to
camp "
Wheth'r It means the camp at Modder
lilvir or that at K.iodool..irg is uncertain.
I.a.n.lo.i Depresseal.
London te-ok the news of the retirement
of Duller philosophically Throug'iout last
e-venlng an air of gloomy e vpectatio-i hung
over the House of Commons. When the
rtport canio that the British forces had re
tired across the Tugela the depression bc

accepted as true, und, with Balfour's dD
couraging nr.nounccmenf, privluced a som
ber effect, which was painfully evident
luring the nlgl.t session.
Tho gloom was not confined to tb'
House. It spread to the clubs and the
