A CAUSE FOR SPECULATION.
London Wondering if Mr. Davis Has Not
Some Sort of Official Mission.

London Wondering if Mr.. Davis Has Not
Some Sort of Official Mission.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The publication Of
the fact that President Kruger is send
ing private car to take Webster Davis
from Lourenzo Marques to Pretoria is
causing considerable speculation here as
to whether Mr.. Davis, Notwithstanding
the denial from Washington, has not
some sort of official mission.
1t is thought rather singular that a
simple traveller, even though an official
at home, should receive so much atten-
ton. The subject is attracting the Con-
tinental papers, who are inquiring
through their London representatives
whether the British government has in
formation regarding the mission of Mr..
Davis. They are loath to believe that
one of President McKinley's assistant
secretaries would take vacation in the
Transvaal and be given a leave of ab-
sence for several months without some
such purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given up
his proposed visit to the Transvaal ow-
ing to the possibility that it might be
misinterpreted.

Beers Expect Defeat, but Not Until After
Long Struggle.
ROME, Jan. 23.-Charles E. Macrum,
formerly United States consul at Pre-,
toria, who arrived here Saturday, left
Sunday for Paris.
Mr.. Easton Of the Washington Post,
who accompanied Mr.. Macrum, said, in
the course of an interview at Naples,
that the Beers know they must ulti-
mately be defeated, but are determined
to resist to the last. He praises the
Boer tactics and expresses adWiration
for the bravery of both armies. The
Afrikanders are regarded by Mr.. Easton
as "a permanent danger to the British. "
He asserts that, prior to the war, the
Transvaal government inquired whai
quantity of cartridges was allowed to
the German troops in the Franco-Prus.

Quantity.

IT IS SLOW WORK
British Make But Slight Advance
After Two Days Hard
Fighting.
Beers Stuck to the Rocky Fast
nesses With the Greatest
Tenacity, a
Despite the Belching Forth Of
Tons of Schrapnel From
British Guns.

SPEARMAN's CAMP, Natal, Jan. Ca
$50 a. m.-Early on Sunday morning
General Warren commenced fanhng
movement on the extreme left Of the
Boer position. The infantry advanced
at 5 in the morning, along the irregular
Tabamyama mountain, which ends at
Spionkop. The artillery occupied posi-
tions behind and on the plain. The
British carefully worked along the hills
until within 1000 yards of a command
ing kopje, on which the Beers were
concentrated, concealed behind i'm
mense boulders strewn thickly over the
hill. The artillery opened the attack
and the batteries worked continuously,
pouring tons of shrapnel among the
Beers, who devoted their attention to
musketry firing ON the British infantry
The Beers stuck to the rocky Businesses
with the greatest tenacity, and at the
conclusion of the day the British had
only advanced across few ridges. The
Beers apparently have few guns and
they did little damage. Captain Honley
of the Dublin Fusiiers fell mortally
wounded, while leading his men to seize
a fresh point of vantage.

ONLY OUTPOST AFFAIRS.
Main Position of the Beers Not Yet At
tackled.

Main Position of the Beers Not Yet At
tackled.
LONDON, Ja6. 23.-The justifable Sc
verify of the censorship at the present
moment prevents the special correspond
ents from giving additional information
to supplement General Buffers latest
dispatch. The success Of the movement
depends almost entirely upon how far
he proves able to outmaneuver the
Beers, whose available forces are doubt
less larger than his own. The chief diff
ficulty lies in the ability Of the Beers to
transport men, stores and ammunition
quickly and to entrench new positions.
Secrecy regarding General Buffers
progress, therefore, is essential and the
public press is quite content to wait
patiently.
From the information which the CEN
sor has allowed to pass it is as yet i'm
possible to form correct notion Of the
British tactics. One thing, however, is
quite clear. The British commanders
have profted by experience and are now
avoiding infantry charges, giving prefer
ence to the
More Judicious Use of Artillery.
The general idea is that Sir Redvers
Butler, with some 5000 men and Is
field guns, is holding the northern bank
of the Tugela at Potgieters drift, while
Sir Charles Warren, with about $4,000
men, 80 guns and large force of cav
airy, is working around the right flank
of the Beers, or 10 miles away.
One account of Saturdays fighting
says that the British had few killed.
Little reliance can be placed upon these
reports, and although the main position
of the Beers had not yet been attacked
and nothing is known as to its strength,
Saturdays and Sundays fight, which
can hardly be described as more than
outpost affairs, evidently entailed serious
losses.
The Beers are following their old time
tactics, making show of resistance and
then retreating in good order to pre-
pared positions, and as they are working
from the interior of their lines they may
be able to bring strong forces to defend
the main position.

AS TO CIVIL SERVICE.
Report of the Commission Submitted to
the President.

Report of the Commission Submitted to
the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The 10Th an
nual report of the United States civil
service commission has been submitted
to the president. The report, while con-
tanning much information of value con-
cerning the operations of the commits
sion during the year, deals with num-
ber of subjects of general public inter
est. The remarks of the commission on
the Importance of merit system in our
colonial possessions; the need of making
some disposition of superannuated en-
ployees; the improvement shown in the
the reduction of the percentage of re-
movals throughout the service, result
ing from the requirements of the law
and the order of the president of July
81, 1897, looking to its enforcement, and
the advantages to be gained by the class
ification of the force of the library of
congress and the municipal service Of
the District of Columbia, deserve special
attention at this time.
The report opens with a preliminary
statement in regard to the extent of the
classified and unclassified service, from
which it appears that there are approx
mately $4,000 classified positions and
107, 900 unclassifed positions; of the lat
ter 71,007 are occupied by fourth-class
postmasters. There are 10, 446 positions
in the executive service in the District
of Columbia, and more than 162, 900 dis
tributed among the states and terri
tories. The commission states that the
expenditures for salaries for the entire
service, classified and unclassifed, is ap-
proximately $104, ,OOO, 900 per annum, a
large increase having resulted from the
war with Spain.
The commission contrasts the small
per cent of removals from the classified
service with the large per cent from the
unclassified service, and makes this sig
nificant comment:
1t the removals from the unclassifed
positions were made because the occu-
pants were incompetent it was con-
demnation of the system under which
they were appointed. On the other
hand, if the removals were made for
other reasons than unfitness the welfare
OF the service could not have been the
basis for such action. From
the figures the conclusion must be drawn
that either the persons brought in
through examination are far more eff
cient than the others or the removals
from the unclassified positions have
been made for other cause than the good
Of the service.

Administration Officials Clearly
Nsttled Over the Movements
of Webster Davis,
And Again Allege That His Move
ments i'm South Africa Are
Purely Personal.
May Give Him a Hint, However,
That He Should Use Dis
cretiOn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Both the state
and the interior department authorize
the most sweeping denial of the story
that Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, is clothed with any dip
lomatio mission. 1t is declared that he
represents no department of the United
States government in his visit to South
Africa, but is there in personal capac-
ity. Since his arrival at Cape Town,
where he went to visit his cousin, Con-
sui General Stowe, the state department
has been very much annoyed at the mis-
construction that has been placed upon
his visit. It was to prevent further mis-
understandings ON that score that the de-
partment positively declined Mr.. Davis
application for leave of absence for Mr..
Stowe, who wished to accompany Mr..
Davis to Pretoria. If Mr.. Davis visit
had not been purely personal, it is very
probable that he would have been also
enjoined from proceeding to Pretoria,
for it is anticipated that misrepresenta-
GiOls DIS W LIS pun uposc Wou4u uS ud"u.
1t is even now possible that he will re-
ceive a reminder from the interior de-
partment that his course is embarrass-
ing to the government. The state
department has sent no instructions to
Mr.. Macrum respecting his attitude
towards the newspapers since his de-
parture from Pretoria for the United
States. In fact it is said that the de-
partment has no authority whatever
over Mr.. Macrum, who has passed out
of the government service.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The Duke of Marl-

has left for South Africa. The duchess
and her mother. Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont,
accompanied him as far as Southamp-
ton. The duchess will not, however, go

servants to the front with him, as has
been frequently intimated, but is ac-
companied only by valet who probably
will be replaced by the usual officers
