The almost complete absence of news from the war up to 2:30 oclock this afternoon is increasing public anxiety, so deeply stirred by Saturdays disaster. Scanty messages indicate that preparations were about completed for simultaneous attacks at Tugela river and Modder river, the dispatches showing the British and Boers In touch in both directions Mon day. There is no confirmation of the report of another day long battle along the river Monday, but possibly there has been a resumption of fighting, as reported by Gen. Cronje, last evening, as the searching Lyddite shell fire of hjjjnday was probably preliminary to an advance. A strange item of news reached here from Boer sources announcing that Waschbank bridgewas' damaged.

This is taken as possible confirmation of the suggestion that the British made wide sweep by way of Helpmakaar, preparing to attack the Boers north or Ladysmith in the rear. A message, from Naauwpoort, dated Monday, December 11, Bhows that Gen. French has no inclination to withdraw his advanced troops at Arundel, as feared might be the result of Gen. Gat acres defeat Gen. French reports that his artillery December 11 forced the advance post of the Boers south of Colesburg to evacuate its position and seek refuge behind Vaalkop.

There is great indignation in Great Britain at the ignorance the British Intelligence Department is displaying in estimating the Boer strength in Cape Colony. Experts aver that 15,000 men Boers will have to be driven out of the colony before the passage of Orange river can be commenced. The Rhodesian force advancing to the relief of Mafeking reached Gaberones Fort December 2 and found the Boers had evacuated the place. The Rhodesians are repairing the railroad as they advance. The latest news front Mafeking ehows Colonel Baden-Powell has been forced to reduce the rations of the garrison and the Inhabitants, but water is plentiful there.

BRADLEYS SPEECH. The present administration came into power under the most adverse circumstances. For the first time in its history Kentucky elected a Republican ticket- The consequence was that many persons who had come to look upon the offices as the property of the Democratic party became thoroughly aroused and instead of giving such assistance as was proper to advance the interest of the State, aroused a most partisan attitude -of obstruction. With one branch of the Legislature Republican and the other Democratic, antagonisms arose that no human power could control. Much needed legislation failed, rendering necessary the calling of a special session.

But despite all this, we can today point with pride to the record which has been made, and to the fact that the people have seen fit in the recent election to give it their hearty endorsement When the party assumed GATACRES OFFICIAL REPORT.
