BULLER PREPARING FOR A FRESH ADVANCE.
NO FACILITIES FOR ARTILLERY AT VAAL KRANTZ. A BOER MOVEMENT. (Received 12,11.30 p.m.) London, February 12. General Lyttelton has reported that there were no facilities for artillery at Yaal Krantz, and that it was difficult to maintain communications if the advance was pressed. Mr. Winston Churchill, the war correspondent, reports that General Buller is preparing for a fresh advance. Apparently the troops returned to Frere. The Boers have occupied a hill on Bro/s farms, south of the Tugela, within an hour's ride of Chieveley. This, combined with their movements in Zululand, have created the impression that a wide turning movement is intended via Greytown. 1 ______ NARROW ESCAPE OF PRINOE CHRISTIAN VICTOR. (Received 12,11.40 p.m.) Durban, February 12. A shell from the Boers' 100-pounder struck a rock on which Prince Christian Victor was sitting, and the concussion knocked him down.
