| London, Jan. 27.-1:15 p. m.-The war
Office has no news of the catastrophe to
Buffers force reported from Berlin, and
discredits the story. Neither has the war
office an explanation, at least for pubh-
| cation, of the abandonment of Spionkop.
and there are no advices in this connec-
tion from British sources.
The evacuation today is regarded as
not SO serious as at first thought. and
commentators are abusing the military
authorities both at the front and at home
for publishing hasty accounts and in
complete, half-understood operations,
thus alternately thrilling and depressing
the nation.
The afternoon papers describe the gem
erals dispatch as unpleasant reading for
the British people, intensely mortifying
to national pride and damaging to the
cOuntry's prestige, and scathingly de-
nounces the gazetting at the present time
of reports which, the st. James Gazette
says, display academic frivolity not un-
commonly found in combination with
conceit, practical incapacity, and passing
to sneering when they ought to rebuke,
and filled with the slang and humor Of
Kipling's subalterns."
The St. James Gazette sums up it's DO
sition as follows:
These dispatches sweat the folly
which has prevailed throughout the
period the campaign has covered, and
which has e4acted its usual tithe Of lives
and men,"
There are signs of important move
ments developing in the north of Cape
Colony. General French has succeeded
in getting in touch with General Gatacre,
possibly presaging combination of the
two columns and the commencement of
concentration Of forces, which is be-
lieved to be the groundwork of Lord
Roberts plan of campaign.
The war Office announces the casualties
reported by Butler yesterday occurred
in the battalions of General Lyttleton's
brigade. which. so far as known at the
war office, was not engaged in the cap
ture or defense of Spionkop.
1t appears, thefore, that they are ad-
ditional to the considerable casualties
which Butler has reported as having oc-
Cured at Spionkop.
The defense committee Of the war office
met this afternoon. Lord Salisbury pre-
the gravest kind of news from Natal is
being concealed by the war office. It is
even said Buffers forces are in full re-
treat.
1t is impossible to confirm or deny the
reports, as the officials maintain silence
as to the rumors. They say they have
nothing for publication. It is evident.
however, from the war Office announce
ments. that the casualties reported by
Butler occurred in Lyttletons brigade,
which apparently was not engaged at
spionkop, and that there has been severe
fighting not yet reported.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of
the exchequer, came to London purposely
to attend the defense committee meet
ing. and Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
OF state for the colonies. gave up other
engagements for the same reason. Lord
Wolseley, commander in chief of the
forces, was also present at the meeting
Of the committee.

The new British reverse is likely to
have disheartening effect upon the be-
leaeuered garrison at Ladysmith, but

SAID the besieged had rations for six
weeks. and. according to all reports, the
rood question must be pressing. The
latest message from Ladysmith reported
u deaths in one day from enteric fever
and dysentery.
Lord Roberts at Capetown has been
almost forgotten in the excitement over
the fighting at Tugela. Roberts is in no
way responsible for the operations for
the relief Of Ladysmith. for they have
been conducted under advices from the
war Office in London. 1t was said some
time ago that Roberts favored leaving
Ladysrnith to it's fate and marching on
Bioemfontein, the capital of the Free
State.
indicate there will be fighting in the
western district soon, the British armies
naveing been reinforced and the plight Of
Kimberley being urgent. The suspense
IN London is quite as trying as at any
time in the past fortnight.
The Leader says: General Butler is
very sorry to say that the capture of
SpionkOp has been abandoned So we
dare say is General Warren, for 1t knocks
the bottom out of his tactics. His tactics

The Morning Post says: 'The Beers
appear to have no lack of men, for it
turns out that the affair of Tuesday at
Chleveley was not q British but a Boer
reconnaissance, and the Boer efforts
against Ladysmith have increased. The
anair OF Tuesday at Chieveley was the
discovery Of unidentified troops MOVING
around on the east of Ladysmith, re-
ported from Chieveley. The troops were
imagined to be British irreeulars, de-
tached from Buffers column to recon-
noiter"
