VOLUNTEERS ANXIOUS To ENLIST
he Loss of the Artillery in General Buffers light Has
Not Been Explained-- Imperfect Scouting Has Been
Responsible for Great Deal of the British Loss
--Demand For Free Rein For Roberts and Kitchener
--French Opinion Against the British.

London, Dec 19.-Only the optimistic
gave any credit to the rumors that Butler
had crossed the Tugela river and even
they speedily realized it was incredible
that the war office would refrain from the
immediate publicat ton of news of such
Importance.
There Is no confirmation of the state
ment that Methune's line of communca-
tion has been cut though there is a pro-
liability of such event occurring at any
moment.
According to the latest news from Me
thuen, dated Sunday, the situation ap-
peared to be compete compasse. The
Beers were gathering reinforcements and
extending their fortitications on both
his TANKS but it was believed they woud be
unable to attack the British position. On
the other hand it was regarded as impos-
sible for the British to turn the Boer
flank. The Boer lines Of entertainments
are continuous and capable of rapid con-
nection at many points.
From elsewhere a the front there is alb
solutely nothing to throw additional light
on the situat ton.
The newspapers are full of stories show
ing the unanimity with which volunteers
and yeomanry are responding to the call
to arms. Lord Chesham commanding Of
ficers of the Royal Buckinghamshire yeo-
manry, is to command force of 5000
yeomanry which he has been authorized
to organize for service in South Africa.
Earl Dudley and other titled officers will
accompany him.
Some of the papers express considerable
miseiving at the troops going from India
to South Africa. They think the risks
too great and that it may lead to two con-
tinents being ablaze insead of one
Most ample recognition is given in the
press to the great outburst of the loyalty
of Canada and the remarks of Sir Wilfred
Laurier, premier, and the cabinet, as rep
resentative of both English and French
sections, are specially welcomed.

The Old, Old Story.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from London says: At last de-
tails Of the battle at Tugela river are
coming through, but it is very slowly and
the stories are most incomplete. The
dispatches bear evidence Of being severely
censored. For instance General Buffers
official report stated that he had lost II
guns, but this fact has been carefully cut
out of every message by the censor. who
evidently was in ignorance OF what news
the war Office had given to the public.
We now know that General Hart's bril-
gade did actually cross the Tugela, but
had to be withdrawn. losing very heav-
lily, that General Hildyard's brigade was
also checked and that General Barton's
brigade. Of whose doings nothing had been

heard, failed to carry Inhlawe hill, which
IS a position on the south side of the
Tugela to the west of Coenso.
There is no further explanation of the
loss of the artillery. 1t is said that Col
onel Long. who has been much blamed
for taking his guns too near the Beers,
was probably obliged to do So In this
connection, 1t is pointed out that Colonel
Long has the reputation of being a very
good officer. We are expressly told the
reason, namely. that he was anxious to
get Within effective range of the enemy.
1T is the old, old, story" said an ar
tillery expert, that officers and gunners
OF the Royal artillery are second to none,
but their guns are obsolete
1t us certain that the reverse which of
late has been suffered by the British has
been for the most part the result of i'm
perfect scouting-not merely the general
scouting duties, which are under the di-
rection of the headquarter staff. but Of
the duties of which the generals COM
nanding brigades, the colonies command
Ing batteries or companies are respons-
lble. The British officer is, as rule,
especially in the early part of a cam
palgn, so keen to get at his work and so
eager to join issues at once with the ene-
my that he is very apt to forget or to
hurry over the preliminary precaution-
airy movements
$50 much depends upon Lord Roberts
and Lord Kitchener that it is to be hop
ed says the Daily Mail, that no further
war office red tape and none of the jeal-
Ousles between generals that are said to
exist there will tie the hands of the new
chiefs. In the important matter of arr
tillery, If the two men who go forth un-
der such immense national responsibility
think it necessary that they should have
the best artillery that England. America
or Germany can provide. let them have it,
And the government should insist that
Sir Michael Hlcks-Beach shall be no
longer allowed to further sacrifice Off
GERS and men in South Africa by his
hopeless notions of imperial finance"
Many letters written to the London pa
pers direct criticism against some Depart
ments of the war office and against Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, General Butler and
Lord Wolseley. In the eyes of many
Lord Wolseley Is held responsible for
maintaining his position as commander
in-chief for several years knowing as he
must have known that the antuuated
British artillery would be outranged on
it's first meeting with any adequately
armed force.

Tenement House Fires

New York, Dec. 19.-Seven lives We're
lost in two big tenement houses which
We're destroyed by fire in this city early
to-day. Five charred bodies We're found
on upper floors of the burned tenement at
One Hundred and Second street and
Third avenue, known as the Mentor, and
five women and little girl all badly
burned, were carried from the blazing
house to nearby hospitals. There is
thought to be but slight chance of any
of the six surviving. Several other per-
sons escaped from flames and dense
smoke with cuts and bruises.
The dead are:
John Barrett, wife and six-year old
daughter.
Mrs. Giles

Missing: Mrs Adolph Schneider and

Excitement In Wall Street

New York, Dec 19.-An the roads led
to Wall street this morning. Curiosity
seekers of all conditions and both sexes
thronged the financial district. Some
had interests at stake but the major
ty We're present simply as sightseers.
Measures already taken for the relief Of
the money market and other measures
projected had an effect in allaying ap-
piehension. Sharp recovery of Ameri-
can shares in London this morning con-
trlDuted to the same effect. The feel
ing was, nevertheless, faverish and APP
pfehenslNe. The advance in the lmper-
lal Bank of Gelmany's rate of discount
from 6 to per cent and the per cent
discount rate in Berlin caused uneasi-
ness not only on their own account but
because they probably foreshadowed
further advances In the Bank of Eng
land s rate and resulting pressure on New
York.
The brokers on the floor were in a state
of wild excitement and turmoil. AS the
signal sounded for opening it was in
describable. The course of the market
ebbed and flowed many times in the
course of the first hour and BECAME Wild
ly Irregular at times.
PAaerful financial interests whose ef-
fort was to sustain and advance prices
found important assistance from invest
ment buying on a large scale. The ava
lanche of selling orders was SO steadily
absorbed that standard railroad stocks
began to offer resistance to the decline.
EARLY in the second hour there appeared
an apprec:able decrease in activity and
pressure was no longer severe.

FavOrS Mediation.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Berlin says: The Berliner
Tageblatt is informed that the Austrian
government is inclined to offer its media
tton in the conflict in South Africa. 1t
is considered that the diplomatists of
Europe who only few months ago sign
ed the protocol of the peace conference
cannot admit that the present loss of
life, which only in the end will end in
favor of the black population should con-
Maue. The Beriner 'Tageblatt, how
ever. considers that mediation would be
premature. Germany at least has for
the moment no intention of taking part
in any steps of the sort
