ROBERTS AGAIN THE IDOL
Some of the Papers Think Butler
Should Resign.
A REPORT THAT WARREN IS RECAlLE
Conflict Among Leaders Of The Beers as to Con-
tinuing Attack on Wepener. Fears of
Being Cut OFF by the Rising
River.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, April 1S.-Q:55 p. m.)-Lord
Roberts criticisms of General Butler,
General Warren and Colonel Thorney
croft continue topics of acute interest
All the afternoon papers comment at
length on the structures of the British
Commander-in-C Chief in South Africa,
taking the same lines as the morning pa
pers, praising Lord Roberts for his frank
ness and speculating upon what the pub
lication of the dispatches at the present
moment portends. Some of them main
tain there is nothing left for General Bull
Ter but to resign.
The ST. James Gazette is particularly
scathing. Referring to General Buffers
report, it says:
Never in the history of armies did it
happen that generals scribbled their con-
fessions of failure and defeat, of useless
deaths of men and Of discredt to the
flag in manner which suggests careful
selection from the forced jocularity of the
funny man, the slangy chatter of the
hcrsey woman and the gable of the
smoking room late in the evening"
The Globe declares that a more pitt
able record of indecision in plan and con-
ftssion in execution we have seldom
read" and adds that what little reputa-
tion General Butler had left had been
scattered to the winds.
Practically no developments have been
reported so far in todays South African
cables dispatch from Warrenton,
dated Tuesday, April 18th, says:
Finding the Beers busy making new
trenches we exploded lyddite shells, fol-
lowing up those with the Maxims The
renemy's ambulance was afterwards OBJ
served on the spot"
1t is persistently stated in military
circles that Lieutenant General Sir
Charles Warren, the commander of the
Fifth division of the South African field
force. has been ordered to return home.
1t is said that peremptory order for
General Warrens return was cabled to
South Africa this morning. The War
Office declined to give any information
on the subject.

ish columns The blockade of Wepener
continues, although relief is near
What is to be done with Sir Redvers
Butler and Sir Charles Warren occupies
everybody's attention. 1t is now gener-
ally accepted that the recall of General
Butler and General Warren probably has
been decided upon.
According to Boer reports, there is a
steady flow of foreign volunteers to the
Transvaal. Hitherto these adventurers
have been attached to the various COM
mandoes. Now it is said they are to be
formed into a special legion, with con-
tinentaI officers, and there is a ruplor
that the command will be given to a. dis
tinguished French soldier, lately retired,
who is now in, the Transvaal or is nearing
the end of the journey thither.
Presumably the officer referred to is
General De Negrier, former member of
the French Supreme Council of War, who
was removed from the active list last
ciplinary measure during the excitement
arising from the Dreyfus court martial.
POSSIBLY HE MEANS TO INTERVENE.

New Orleans, La, Today's returns do
not in any respect change the result of
yesterdays elections as indicated in last
nights dispatches. w. w. Heard, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, appears to
have carried every parish in the State,
though in three or four the vote was
close. The sugar district is almost solid
for the Democratic ticket and the Legis-
lature is almost solidly Democratic in
both branches. The Constitutional
Amendment authorizing the city Of New
Orleans to issue $14000,000 bonds for
water. sewerage and drainage improve
ments, was carried overwhelmingly. The
total vote in New Orleans was 21,64S,
slightly over half of the registration.
Heard received 1S051; Caffery 2,647 and
2eams $50. Heards majority is 14,454.
The returns received today indicate that
the Democrats carried their local tickets
throughout nearly every parish in the
