Mckinley would be willing Mr. Wilson
said. to see the State admitted during the

believe such action will be possible. as
Congress already has on its hands as much

endeavoring TO have the bill providing for

LONDON. April despite yesterday
di5concerting news Of the capture Of five

inclines 10 a cheerful view OF the whole
situation. As a Minister of the Grown

known it was going to be so long hill,

come. and knowing what we now do of the
Republics ambitions. il is as well that il
came when it did, and We shall now so
right through with it. but he added after
a pause, what a lot we are learning.
One effect of the latest development is
to modify the criticisms so freely passed
earlier in the campaign upon Sir Redvers
Butler. Lord Methueu, and other generals.
il is now clear that at Paardeberg General
Kitchener was deliberately repeating the
old mistakes Of mpetuous frontal attack
and unnecessary risk Of human lives when
Gou-sl Roberts came up called of the
troops and changed the whole plan Of en-
gagement II is clear also that even Cen
eraI Roberts himself finds the country. the
character Of the enemy. and the immense
difficulties OF transport at present almost
insupcrable obstacles Thus Ministers and
Englishmeu generally are beginning TO re-
alize that England greatest general is
as pOwerless to play quick war game as
Butler was. one hears no more Of Lord
W0lseIeys TOO confident prediction that the
British flag would be hoisted over Pretoria
ON May TO- while Winston ChurchlIs cock
sure promise TO a Pretoria journal TO be
back there again i'm March looks somewhat
foolish today. The Ministers also who a
fortnight ago warned their party managers
not to be caught Mapping. if a general
election should come in July now mention
next spring or even summer as a more
likely time for dissolution.
No Sign of Weakening.
But despite the sIowuess Of the war and
the demands on patience there is no sign
Of weakening purpose. Indeed, the EN-
phatic endorsements of the Government
policy of thorough" which the colonial
governments have formally rendered, are
accepted by the Ministers as an evidence
that any hesitancy in South Africa at this
point would involve a serious setback TO
the new Imperialism upon which the Gov
eminent counts confidently to get them
back into power
