known. is Name to cunjurr with IN
Grea: Ert1in. and that I,pid Rob rts
and Lord Kitchener ar cnnsiden d
the right men to rutriNyp the diSyls-
ttuus situation in South Africa. is
umply evidenced by tn morr chrtry
tone of all tho war discussions this
morning. In spite NJ thr attempts of
the authorities to gloss over the super
session Of General Butler, the fact "
mains that now the appointments can
nct bc regarded otherwis, than is a
penalty for his failure, \ Somi-oill-
clnl communication says
The disposition to regard the
change as reflection on Butler is
entirely erroneous, As the forces en-
gagged in South Africa ncNaSe, oil
GERS Of higher rank are naturally APP
pointed TO supreme command
The communication then instances
the successive steps from General Sy-
mons to Generals white and Butler
and now to Ganaml Roberts In spite
Of the plousibihty OF the argument
everyone recognizes that II is not tn,
whole truth. Friends of Butler see
In the headlong plunge cf the clb-
net, a species of panic, and they pic
tuN hlsty conclaves and ministcr,
with blanched faow, teegraphlng to
Roberts and Kitchener to come and
save the empire,
While perhaps these are overdr6wn,
there Is no denying that the prodig-
ious cXertion which the government
considers necessary to crush the two
little republics shows that even the
scdate Lord Salisbury sees the ex-
treme gravity of the present aspect of
affairs. Probably the ministers re
membered the peril which the public
seem to have forgotten, of possible
uprising Of the Kanlrs, Indeed. un-
pleasant rumors are already current
in this direction, which would be in
hmtely more serious than the rebel
hon Of the Dutch.
