! IS MUCH WORRY.
OVER THE FACT THAT NO NEWS
HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM
BULLER = PRIVATE
LETTERS.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Although
Lord Roberts telegraphed from Capetown
last night that there was no change in
the situation, the continued absence of
news as to General Buffers movements 10
not considered reassuring. The silence of
the correspondents is doubtless due to the
censorship and the messages which Gen.
eral Butler has sent for the informa tion
Of the war office 1t has probably been con-
sidered inexpedient to make public.
The Standards correspondent in Lady,
smith is the first to get through from the
beleaguered town an unofficial account
Of the battle on January 9Th, but unfor-
tunate1y the most important portion Of
the message, describing the earlier stages
of the engagement has not yet been re-
ceived. The assault on the western end
Of General Whites southern position was,
1t seems, continued with the utmost
stubbornness until darkness came on and
the Devonshire regiment in the final
charge cleared the Beers from Wagon hill
at the point of the bayonet. The British
positions are being strengthened all
around, but up to the present the Beers
have made no fresh movement against
them.
Belated dispatches describing the
warmth Of the welcome extended to Lord
Roberts and Lord Kitchener at Capetown
are in print with another large budget Of
mail correspondence from South Africa.
This special correspondence is less signi-
fcant than the private letters from Off
GERS and privates which are appearing
day after day in the London and provin-
cial press.
These letters, not being subject to CEN
sorship. blurt out many unpleasant
truths about the recent reverses Of the
British arms. The clubs are also filled
with stories relating to Colonel Coughs
refusal to carry out Lord Methuen's or
ders at Modder river and the probability
that when tried by court martial he will
plead that it was impossible to carry out
his instructions. He comes OF well sea-
soned fighting stock. They are countless
club stories about Lord Wolseley's rela-
tionss with General Butler, whose advice
did 16t coincide with the headquarters
estimates Of the force required for the
conquest of the Dutch republics and there
are r1mors without end Of impending cab
met changes and revolutions in the war
ONCE and treasury. A great victory by
General Butler is sorely needed in order
to clear the air in London and to put an
end to the intrigues Of political marplots.

Spec'a! to the Inter Mountain
Washington, Jan. 15.-Both sides dis
coursed to-day. Hewitt's reputation of
his grand jury testimony reported and
sworn to by General Nolan, who is an ex-
pert stenograhper, has disgusted Nolan
as well as the committee. Nolan threat
ems to go home. A Clark supporters seiz-
ure of a roll Of greenbacks from a DAILY
witness which he says the latter had just
received from one of Dalys agents has
convinced the public that the use of
money is not confined to either side.
The mysterious disappearance of
"Swede" Murphy after he had been en-
ployed by the Anaconda people all the
summer is regarded as base ingratitude.
His friends say he refused to perjure
himself and fed rather than give evidence
SO carefully rehearsed before Daly's at
torneys. The latter say he was bought
off because afraid to face the terrors of
cross When the news was
conveyed to headquarters at New York
an exciting scene is reported.
On the other hand the testimony Of Dr.
Ector and the failure to find compromis-
ing letters from him is hard blow to
the Clark side in addition to Myers
testimony.
The Daily people are offering to bet ten
thousand dollars that the committee will
report against Clark. 1t is undoubtedly
true that Chandler and Hoar do not
evince friendly spirit and are impatient
at the efforts of Clark's lawyers to put up
a technical defense.

CRITICAL OPERATIONS.
ARE BEING CARRIED ON AND FOR
THIS REASON NO NEWS is
GIVEN OUT.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Herald from London says: Although

the Tugela river, no report has been al
lowed to come through since General Bul.
ler's statement of his arrival at Pot.
gieter's drift
In connection with this general move.
ment, General Warren, either on Thurs
day or Friday, moved with about II ,OOC
men in the direction OF Weenen, which
would give color to the view that both
f1anks Of the Boer army are being threat
ened as preliminary to determined ad-
vance on Mount Inhlawe, to the east.
Colenso, upon the southern bank OF
the Tugela, must be cleared OF the Boer
force, which had been holding it. since
otherwise this force might be able to
threaten the British line of communica-
tions. 1t is quite possible that Warren
Will cooperate in the attack on this
mountain. Now that the Tugela is run
ming at flood. the time is favorable as It
will be difficult for the Beers to reinforce
their position south of the river except
by pontoon bridge. In the absence of
any official news the war office is remain
ing silent.
London was full Of rumors Sunday. It
was freely reported that engagements
had taken place at three different points
along the extended Boer lines. AS a
matter of conjecture this may be correct
for there Is reason to suppose that some
movement was made against Colenso
simultaneously with the seizure of Pot
gieter's drift.
It is possible also that an attempt to
flank the Beers may be attempted on both
the east and the west. If fighting really
occurred at three points yesterday or Sat-
uruay, they would most likely be Mount
Ilangwana, Colenso and some spot north
of Potgieter's drift, marking a step in
that process Of enveloping the Beers to
which General Butler is obviously COM
mitted.
In this connection the dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from F'rere dated We'd
nesday in which Mr.. Bennett Burleigh
looks forward to some decisive event and
is making preparations to take up a wa
gon load of luxuries for the troops at
Ladysmith clearly indica .es that at Frere
it was understood that the British at
tempt to relieve Ladysmith was about to
Oe lldUe.
The whole position Of affairs on the Tu-
gela is enveloped in mystery, which can
only be understood as implying that op-
erations Of critical Importance are gong
on. The mystery is further deepened by
dispatch from the Boer headquarters,
which, although issued on Thursday last.
makes no mention of General Buller's
fanking movement In the direction Of
Potgieter's drift.
1t is impossible that this movement
could not have been known to the Beers
because it must have been in progress Tor
two or three days and General Butler
himself states that the Beers ware in
trenched four and half miles north Of
his advanced positions.
The Beers are also probably playing
possum." There Is a delightfully."- naive
affectation Of perplexity in the conclud-
ing statement of the dispatch that the OBJ
ject of the British is conjectured, but 10
by no means clear.
