New York Feburao 0 While London
has received not one word of newu from
Natal nor direct war news from Cape Col-
ony the feeling of confideiico continues
and grows stronger No ono seems tc
doubt that General Uuller Is making a
third attempt to relieve Ladysmlth So
sure docs the public seem U be that llrlt
lsh arms will be in the end triumphant
that oven If General HuIIer were again
unsuccessful there would be no such out-
cry as followed his previous failures for
any heavy loss Inflicted on the Uoers is a
decided British gain Tb < t tide of oplnlos
In Great Britain ii becoming more hopeful
General Uuller has been heavily relnforctd
with men and guns additional regiments
having been sent to the forces operating in
Cape Colony and 13000 men are about to
sail from England It Is realized that the
English must win by sheer force of over-
whelming number not by eupprjor
fighting capacity
Lately the German military critics have
not had much to say about the Br i h
army Dr Leyda Is atlll being feted In
Ilerlltr but the center of attraction seems
to have moved to Paris the British am-
bassador having loft the city owing to the
bortlllty of the French press and people
The London morning papers devote
much more space to Hpeculatlon on the
impending campaign In Capo Colony that
