Britishers think if General Sir Red
vers Butler was not strong enough to
assert his authority at Spion Kop he
is not strong enough to command the
British army in Natal during the criri-
cal operations of the immediate fu-
ture. They also feel that Lord Rob
erts should promptly relieve from du-
ty the men he has seen fit publicly TO
condemn; but unless there are other
officers ready to take their places it
is feared that evil results as regards
the discipline of the force in the field
will ensue.
General Buffers bulldog tenacity in
the struggle to relieve Ladysmith is
fully appreciated, but the opinion is
held that If his executive. strength was
not equal to the exigencies Of Spion
Kop it is unsafe to trust him with fu-
ture operations bearing in an impor-
rant way on the result of the war.
Wepener when last heard from was
still besieged, but Lord Roberts forces
are expected to accomplish the relief
