upon the é¢nemy while the left flank was |

Our artillery quickly reduced the volume of the enemy’s fire . But the attack developed on our right flak was the principal one and the col-

The naval brigade which landed at Dur- ban aad arrived on the scene toward the end of the fight and immediately brought theit heavy guns into play.

Their practice was magnificent. At the fourth skot the enemy’s forty pounders had been knocked ont of action.

The town therefore was freed from the apprehension of a bombardment.

Throughout the engagement the Boers held their ground with courage and ien~ acity; and considering the intensity of our artillery firethey must have suffered se* verely,

LATER.

Lonpon, Oct. 31.—The war officials con- rider that General White wil! hold Ladysmith despite his heavy loss in yesterday’s battle.

They calculate that transporte with 10,- 000 mea will reach Durbin about Novem- ber 10:h.

The troops would arrive at Pietrmar- itzburg two days later,

If General White is besieged at Lady- smith he has food aud supplies and ammunitions of war, sufficient to last tw,

monthe. He will probably be superseded at once. H.s almission of his blame for the surreader of his two regiments is regarded at the War Office as an cffer to resiga. Lonpon, Ost 31.—It is learned that the War Uffice has ordered a second army corps to be in readiness to be called out, The military ottivials haye not yet de cided wh<iner the consummation of the plan will be necessary. But they are determined to have everything in readines, either fora demonstration in Europe of Great Britain’s capabilities,or for sending even a larger force to the scene of action. Until receipt of the news of the Lady- smith disaster,the latter course was’deemed out of the question. But now there is no knowing what steps will be decided upors Lonpon, Oct. 31.—Repor's are current here thet General White may retire to Pietermaritzburg while intact.

There 18 much divergence of opinion in
