Reports Persist That Butler Is
Again Marching to Whites
Relief.
In Spite Of the Government Ale
cations of Ignorance OIL the
Subject.
Durham Special Says There Was
Very Severe Fighting on
i - Sunday.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The war Office state
ment that it has received no confrma-
ton Of the report that General Butler
has recrossed the Tugela river has failed
to shake public belief that operations Of
tremendous importance are proceeding
at the Tugela, and it is thought that
either the denial was prompted by a de-
sire to keep the military movements as
secret as possible until something is &C.
compished or, that General Butler is
keeping the home officials in the dark
pending results. 1t is obviously ex-
tremely difficult to extract the truth
from the conflicting statements shroud-
ing Buffers movement. But most
of the commentators agree that the ag-
gregate of the items tends to confirm the
belief that movements of Importance are
in progress.
1t is true that the correspondents at
General Buffers headquarters convey
the impression that his main force is
still south of the Tugela river,
but it is easily conceivable that
the dispatches are so censored
as to convey false impression. Posi-
bly,, though dated Sunday and Sunday
night, the dispatches were written prior
to the movements reported to have COM
menced Friday. This has already hap
pened on various occasions, dispatches
being retained by the censor and redated
when actually released.
Whatever may be the actual situation,
there seems no doubt that General Bull
ler's preparations for fresh attempt to
relieve LaGysmith were completed
Thursday or Friday, and though the
start was possibly deferred from the
date first selected, it will not be long be-
fore it is definitely known that General
Buffers forces are again fighting their
way towards Ladysmith. Those, how
ever, who expect General Butler to reach
the beleaguered town Monday night
seem to have forgotten the presence of
the Beers. The best informed people,
while sanguine, fully realize that Brit
ish victory can only be achieved at a
heavy cost.

on LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Official Announcement Regarding Mon
sons Departure From Paris.
LONDON, Feb. Tt is officially an
nounced here that Sir Edmond Monson,
British ambassador to France, left Paris
on leave of absence. The announce
ment is generally regarded as impor--
tant. Coming on top of the known
anti British feeling in Paris it is thought
the departure of the ambassador from
his post at critical juncture indicates:
more than appears on the surface or
than is contained in the official explana--
ton.
The Paris correspondent of The Times
says:
Sir Edmund Monson left Paris of his.
own accord owing to the anti-British
feeling displayed in France. His gov
eminent has done nothing to dissuade-
him. There is no question Of recall, but
merely an act of prudence, because Sir
Edmund MonsOn holds that in the pres
ent climax his presence in Paris might
embarrass matters rather than improve:
them.

HOPING, FEARING, DOUBTING.
British Public Remains at the Mercy OF
Every Wild RumOr.

British Public Remains at the Mercy Of
Every Wild RumOr.
LONDON, Feb. This hoping, fear
ing, doubling nation remains at the
mercy of every wild rumor. The i'm
preston that General Buffers forces are,
fighting will not die out, in spite Of the
continuous reservations of the war Of
fee that it has no news to confirm that
belief. From Cape Town under date of
Tuesday comes the statement that up to-
that time nothing had been heard there
regarding General Buffers recrossing
the Tugela river, while Field Marshall
Lord Roberts, in a dispatch dated Mon
day, Feb. 5, reports no change in the
situation. In view of the latter's dis
patch it seems hard to credit the cir
cumstantial report of the e. .lgement of
General Buffers troops. cle common
sense now almost inclines towards the
decision that these are due to the wish
being father to the thought. SUPPOSE
ton upon such basis is utterly futile,
The complete silence from the front and
at home may be significant, as the wise
acres aver, but it more probably repre-
sents that pericd of preparation which
precedes an important movement.
IN other parts than the Tugela the
conditions of information are scarcely
more satisfactory. There is an incon-
elusive vagueness regarding General
French's reported intention to attack
Norvals pont with an overwhelming
force of infantry, for while the news of
sharp fighting in the neighborhood of
Colesberg can be fairly expected within
few days, it is not likely that it will
assume greater proportions that recon-
naissances and skirmishes for the pur-
poses of holding the advanced position
of the forthcoming main advance by
way of Bloemfontein. General French
is strategically prohibited from run
ming any serious risk.
Lord Roberts reply to Presidents
Kruger and Steyn creates an excellent
impression here.
From Kimberley and Mafeking there
is nothing new, so it can be presumed
that the intermittent bombardment Of
the places continues.

A One Sided One.

There are times. even in the best reg
ulated families. when it becomes nee
essary to discipline some young and
stirring member of the household. The
other evening an indulgent father con-
cluded that such a time had arrived, as
his S-year-old son had committed an
act of characterization and threatened
to repeat it. Rebukes and warnings
were in vain. and at last the youngster
was given a sound spanking. Half an
hour later. after friendly relations had
been resumed. an older son came home
and was somewhat surprised when the
S-year-old said to him: You ought to
have been here awhile ago. Me and
papa had a fight" -Pittsburg Chroni-

Efforts of Liberals to Withdraw
the Amendment of Lord
FitZmaurice
To the Queens Speech Fails
Government Expects a Sub
stantial Majority.
People of the Nation Anxiously
Await News From the
Front.

LONDON; Feb. There has been a.
strong effort among the rank and file of
the Liberals in the house of commons to-
secure unanimous consent of the party
to the withdrawal of Lord Edmund
Fitzmaurice's amendment to the adj
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne, but it has failed, owing to the
refusal Of a small minority, mostly
members of the late Liberal government
to join in the movement. The house
will, therefore, divide on the amend
ment.
The government majority is expected
to be from 100 to 100.

War Office Believes Butler Has Not Re-
crossed the TugeIa.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE correspondent
of the Associated Press learns from of
fetal sources that absolutely no confirm
alton has been received by the war of
flee of the report that General Butler
has recrossed the Tugela river, and is
marching on Ladysmith. On the con
trary, according to the information OF
the war Office at the present moment,
there is every indication that things are
quiet at the front, and that no imme,
date movement is anticipated.
Regarding the dispatch from Lady
smith saying that Buffers guns have
been heard there, it is surmised that
some practice may have been going on
with the new batteries which have just
reached the front.
