from Modder river intimates that the
Sunny Side prisoners will not be treat
ed as prisoners Of war, but as British
subjects caught in open rebellion.
At the Modder river camp the con-

The latest advices from Coles beY
district tend to modify the estimate of
Gen. F'rench's success. The predicted
occupation of Colesberg had not been
accomplished last evening, while the
Beers guns, announced to have been
sllenced, were still active. The war
office this afternoon issued a dispatch
received from Gen. French under yes

the same as on the previous day, that
with small reinforcements he could dis
lodge the Beers from Colesberg, and in
the meantime he continued manoeuvr-

OUR AMBASSADOR
Brings the Flour Seizure to the At
tention of the British Govern


LONDON, January 3.-The. United
States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate,
!. visited the British premier, Lord Sal
isbury, at the foreign Office, this even
ing, for the purpose of making the first
official representations on the subject
of the Delagoa Bay flour seizures. Mr.
Choate received no definite reply, as
the premier informed him that the Brit
ish government had not yet arrived at
any decision as to whether or not food
stuffs were eontraband of war. But,
Lord Salisbury assured Mr.. Choate that
the commercial rights of the United
States would be equitably considered,
and that decision in this important
matter would be reached as soon as
possible. The interview was brief.
The Associated Press learns that Lord
Salisbury has not only got the Attorney
General, Sir Richard Webster, working
hard on the question of the Delagoa
Bay seizures, but that he is consulting
with the ablSt lawyers in. Great Britain.
To quote high official:
England is between Scylla and
Charydis..
IF we declare foodstuffs contraband
position should we be neutral power
In some future war. We are most anx-
ious to conserve The interests of the
United States, yet self-preservation
must necessarily come first"
/ 1t was further learned by represen-
tative of the Associated Press that
Great Britain may lay down new reg
ulations regarding contraband, making
distinction between food evidently in
tended for domestic purposes and food
palpably intended for field rations. IN
der the latter head might come classes
1of canned goods.
The British government fully real
ICES that the representations of Mr..
Choate win compel it to decide this
far-reaching matter and while his re-
quest has been made and received in the
most friendly spirit, the quandary is
not relished by Lord Salisbury. though

ernational friction. One thing is

LONDON, JaL 49,, Gen. Butler
continues his night bombardments and
patrol surprises. AS the Tugela river
is again fordable and the stretcher
bearers have again been requisitioned
at Durham and PietermaritZburg, there
is disposition to believe that the Brit
ish advance will not be long delayed.
1t is reported at Durham that the cap

on board five big guns, fifty tons OF
shells and one hundred and eighty
trained artillerymen.
Nothing further has been heard from
Molteno, which was reported from
Sterkstorm to have been attacked by
the Beers this morning. So far as
known here there is only small force
there.

near Colesberg and proceeded SO near
the Boer position that it was impossible
to recover it and the British guns there
fore destroyed the trucks 1t is sus-
pected that this was the act OF trail
tor.
The total British casualties about
Colesberg in two days were six men
killed and twenty wounded.
The supply train, says another dis
patch from Rensburg, ran into a
broken culvert and was wrecked. The
Beers began looting it and another
train was despatched to the spot in an
attempt to recover the provision. The
Beers opened fire on the troops and
natives accompanying it, forcing the
second train to retreat after several OF
the natives had been killed.

LONDON, January 4, 4:30 a. NJ
There is. complete absence OF any

The war Office acknowledges the in

Among the announcements of those

The papers comment upon the fact
that in view of the state of public opin-
ion, it is much easier to go to war than
stay at the clubs, which wear a par
sticularly deserted aspect. All parts of
England and Scotland report lively vol
unteering, a leading feature being the
great sums raised by private subscrip-
ton for volunteer equipment. Some of
the counties have given sums as high
as 100000. 1t is computed that the
provinces have already raised nearly
100000, while London is raising

VIEWS OF THE LONDON PRESS.

LONDON, January 3.-The Morning
Leaders war expert to-day says:
"A most distinguished officer, an old
comrade of Gen. Butler, significantly
said yesterday afternoon while talking
of the latters position ON the Tugela
river said:
Accounts are generally settled on
the fourth Of the month, l believe
and not word more on that subject
could be extracted from him"
The Morning Posts military expert
says:
Lord Ernest Hamilton, in a letter to
the editor of the Post, describes these
articles as a crusade against the civil
side of the war office. This is not &C
curate. No charges have been brought
against anyone. The unfortunate
course Of the war has been attributed
TO want of foresight and of prepara-
ton, and the entire cabinet held re-
sponsible. AS regard the military Off
GERS, the only comment has been to
protest against any attempt to blame
the intelligence division.
Lord Ernest Hamilton, however,
brings definite charges against those
in high military places Of whom he
says that they have shown themselves
unequal to their work.
He suggests that British generals
do not know their business and that the
commander-in-chief Lord Wolseley)
was by his own admission in sufficient
ly informed as to the Boer forces. All
these charges may be true, and it will
perhaps be necessary to discuss them
in the future"
The Daily Mail to-day says:
Lord Wolseley's unusual silence i'm
plies that he would be the last person
TO court any kind of an inquiry on the
vital question whether he is respons-
IDLE for the many blunders that have
made US the laughing stock of the
world. The inquiry is one that he will
strictly avoid

tary branches of the war Office Is slow
