A VERY OMINOUS CALM
At the Front, While Military
Experts Are Fighting In
London With Pen
And Pencil.


Natal is still blind and England is kept
guessing. The number and variety of
rumors concerning the position of the
British and Beers along the Tugela
river gives rise to the suspicion that
these reports are encouraged by the
military authorities in order to cloak
the alsBritish plan of operations and
mislead the Beers agents in Europe.
Military experts, lacking any gen.
vine foundation for conjecture, are
sorely tried. The expert of the Morn
ing Leader ia certain that Warren's
division did not attempt the 1anking
movement at Weenen but asserts that
yesterday mornings Warren WAS five
miles north of Springfield where Cen
eral Butler has his headquarters. The
plan. according to this expert, is to
concentrate for an attack upon the
Beers extreme right.
Nearly sll experts and military
authorities doubt if Butler will
attempt to attack the Beers on right,
left and center. 1t is pointed out that
to split the army in three parts, each
other, would be dangerous tactics and
permit the Beers to engage the British
forces piecemeal.
News that military attaches are re-
turning to Durham preparatory to join
ing General Roberts causes further per-
plexity, as 1t would indicate that Butler
was not yet ready for bis attack to re-
r r III.

war office regarding operations in
Natal, argues pretty conclusively that
au important operation at the Tugela
is pending. News of battle is ex-
pected hourly though several days may
elapse before 1t comes.
