BULLER rs UNDAUNTED.
Makes an Effort to Raise the Droop
ing Spirits of Troops.

London, Jan. S1.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing yesterday says: General
Butler yesterday (Monday) read the
following message from the queen to
Sir Charles Warren's force: I must
express my admiration of the troops
during the past trying week, especially
of those regiments you specify and of
the accomplishment of your arduous
march.
General Butler told the men that
they ought not to think because they
had retired from their position that all
their worR was of no avail. On the
contrary, in his opinion they had gained
the key to the road to Ladysmith, in
which he hoped to be within week.
General Butler then called for cheers
for the queen, which were heard for
miles around"

British ,Hbdndon Ladgsmitb

London, Jan. 31.--Such scraps of In
formation as can be gathered regarding
the movements of the armies in the
field seem to indicate that the relief OF
Ladysmith has been abandoned for the
present, and that a concentration of the
British for an invasion of the Free
State is in progress. In addition to
General Helly-Kenny's movement, Cen
eral Brabant chief OF tne Cape Colon
falls, has arrived at Sterkstroom.
The natives report that three Boer
guns have been removed from Spytfon-
TEN to Kimberley. The Beers are ap-
parently making a special effort to re-
duce the place quickly. The Kimberley
garrison was safe last Sunday.
1t is now known that the cabinet de-
voted much of its discussions on Sat
urday to the mobilization of the fleet
Nothing was settled, except that until
further security to the home coasts has
been obtained by naval preparations,
the Eighth division shall not be sent to
South Africa.
On Monday the admiralty issued or
ders that the channel squadron, instead
of leaving Portland this week for Glib
raltar, as previously directed, shall as
semble on Feb. 5 off Eddystone and
proceed to Bantry for a fortnights eX-
ereises off the Irish coast, thus keeping
in home waters for a time.
This decision to delay the Eighth dl-
vision at a time when reinforcements
are so urgently required may mean
only more troops are not yet avail
able. and that the division will embark
when the shipping is ready.
Warning to Other Nations.
The mobilization of reserve warships,
IL such a course shall be determined
upon, would be of the utmost import
ance There is nothing in the intelli-
gence possessed by the public to cause
the cabinets prolonged discussion OIL
this matter and the inference is that
the fleet may be modified as a general
warning to other countries to keep their
hands off the Transvaal situation, or
the ministry may have definite knoWI-
edge that the neutral powers purpose TO
take some advantages elsewhere while
England is busy in South Africa.
One this is certain. Ten thousand
men all ready to go to South Africa are
detained for reasons of which the pub
lie has no knowledge. There is talk of
forty-seven military battalions being
embodied. These are all of the militia
not previously warned. A sharp look
out is being kept on volunteers for the
various South African regiments. The
Daily Chronicle says:
Three suspicious characters were re
Sected by headquarters in one regiment
Monday. Two were Enthusiastically OF
Boer origin. The third, whose English
was faulty, had been a German Of

FRENCH AGAIN REFUSED.
Encounters Large Force of Beers and
Is Forced TO Retire.

Rensburg Cape Colony, Friday, Jan.
26.-General French reconnoitred yes
terday by Bastards Mex with force of
Hussars, Innisskilling, four guns Of the
Royal artillery, mounted infantry, the
Yorkshire, Wiltshire and a portion of
the Essex regiments.
Turning to the northeast, he ap-
preached the Boer position at Reitfon-
TEN, nine miles beyond Colesberg, on
the wagon bridge road, which the en-
envy have been fortifying with a view
of falling back when they evacuate
Colesburg. Cautiously approaching,
General French shelled the enemy,
who replied with artillery and infantry
fire.
The British, who were we'll pro-
tected suffered very little. An officer
and nine men were wounded, one of
the latter of whom has since died, and
three men are missing. AS the Beers
were found in great force, confirming
the reported reinforcements, and in
strong position, General French dis
continued attack and returned to camp.

SHOULD KEEP HANDS OFF.
General Alger Says Transvaal War is
None of Our Affairs.

New York, Jan. 3O.-Russell A. Alger,
ex-secretary Of war, is at the Waldorf
Astoria. Discussing the South African
wan and the pro-Boer sentiments eX-
pressed by w, ]. Bryan, he said last
night:
Il think it is both un-American and
unpatriotic for. any American to at
tempt to stir up a feeling among the
masses either against England or the
Beers. The war in South Africa is none
of our concern, and We should keep our
hands off.
when we had trouble with Spain,
Great Britain had no pro or anti-Span-
ish meetings. She attended to her own
business, and if she did anything be-
yond, it was to give notice to other
nations by implication to let US alone

is to treat Great Britain in 1900 as she

British Forces Concentrating For

London, Jan. 3o-The only reliable
dispatch Of any Importance is a confir-
nation Of the report that General
Kelly Kenny, commanding the Sixth
division, has occupied Thebus, about
midway between General French at
Rensberg and General Gatacre al
Sterkstroem. From this 1t is deduced
that a juncture Of the three forces Is
being made preparatory to the begin
ming of the plan Of advance on Bloem-
fontein.

the appeal made to him by the queen
of Holland to use his influence to stop
the South African war, Pope Leo mas
sent q sorrowful reply that he is unable
to offer his offices for the cessation Oh

of civilization nor by just national IN
