CENSORSHIP NECESSARY
Nothing is Given Out As to the Tactics
 of General Butler

London, January 224:30 a. m.-The just Unable severity of the censor at this moment prevents the special correspondents from giving additional information to supplement General Buffers last dispatch The suc- cess of the movement depends on how far he proves able to outmanouvre the Boers whose available forces are doubtless larger than his own. The chief difficulty lies in the inability of the Boers to transport men, stores and ammunition quickly and to en- trench new positions. Secrecy regarding General Buffers programme there is es- sential and the public here is quite content to wait patiently.
 From the information which the censor has allowed to pass it is yet impossible to form correct notion of the British tactics. One thing, however, Is quite clear. The British commanders have profted by ex- perience and are now avoiding infantry charges, giving preference to the more ju- dicious use of artillery. The general idea Is that Sir Redvers Butler, with some 5000 men and IS field guns Is holding the north ern bank of the Tugela at Potgieter's Drift, while General Charles Warren, with about 1000 men, 30 guns and a large force of cavalry, is working around the right flank of the Boers. eight or ten miles away.
 One account of Saturdays fighting says that the British had few killed. Little re- lance can be placed upon these reports, and, although the main position of the Boers has not yet been attacked and noth- ing is known as to it's strength, Saturdays and Sundays fighting, which can hardly be described as more than outpost affairs, evil dently entailed sreious loss to the Boers, who are following their old-time tactics making a show of resistance and then re- treating in good order to their prepared po- sitions; and, as they are working from the interior of their lines, they may be able to bring strong forces to defend the main po- sitions.
 Nothing is heard regarding any counter attack by Sir George White from Lady smith, and General Buffers "I think we are making substantial progress remains the last word. This shows that there is still some very hard work in front of the Brit ish forces.
 The news from other points is of slight interest General Kelly-Kennis division has been sent by General Gatacre to form an advanced base at Rose Mead Junction.

Advanced 1000 Yards

Spearsman's Camp, January H.-l2:20 a. m.-After ten hours fighting yesterday Gen erals Clark and Clery advanced 1000 yards The Boers maintained an irregular fire during the night, but the British outposts did not respond. This morning at daylight the Boers opened a brisk fire. The British stood to the gums where they had slept and the engagement was renewed vigorously. The field artillery poured shrapnel into the enemy's trenches.
 A rumor that Ladysmith had been re- lieved enlivened the British who sent up ringing cheer. This was taken for an ad- vance. The first kopje was carried at the point of the bayonet. and the Boers re- treated to the next kopje, which, like most others, was strewn with immense bouders, surmounted by mounds on the summit.
 The British advanced steadily and the Boers relaxted slightlyq. The latter did not show much tenacity as previously. Their Nordenfe1dt fired at long intervals, and their cannon fired but seldom. Appar- ently the Boers were short of ammunition
 All day the roar of musketry fire contin- ued. The English took three Boer positions on the mountain and found shelter behind the boulders.

PRINCE TUAN'S EDICT

LONDON, JULY 12.-The Shanghai cor
respondent Of the Express gives the text
OF a long edict Of Prince Tuan. dated
June %, and addressed to the Chinese am
bassadors, which the Express declares is
Identical with the message from Emperor
Kwang Hsu, mentioned by the Shanghai
correspondent Of the Daily Mail and with
the Chinese edict published in Wash ng
ton. The Express considers that the edict
proves that Prince Tuaus party is maxi
ing no attempt TO disguise the fact that
the worst that could be anticipated has
happened.
The edict contains the following para
graphs
THE anger of our people knew no
bounds; they could not be restrained: the
task of guarding the legations which, be-
fore was difficult, was made more impos-
sible."
Elsewhere referring to the desire to
protect the legations still unharmed, It
says:
"If II is impossible for us to continue
this protection let It be represented to
the powers that we must be held blame
less, for the anger Of our people grows
with the rising Of each sun, that sees
more and yet more foreigners and sol
d ers come to oveyrun and lay was te our
country and slay our people"
The correspondent says the edict is I'm
tended to pave the way for final set
tlement.

BERLIN, JULY 1.-THE government
regards the Chinese situation today as
unchanged. No authentic news has been
received
According to the semi-ofEicial Post, En-
peror Williams trip to Norway will last
till August G, unless the weghtiest news
arrives requiring his hasty return.
Dr. Mumm Won Schwarze nsteins APP
pointment as minister to China is inter-
preted in political circles here as proof
that Germany regards herself as not at
war with China. The appointment is
meant especially for Russia, to show that
Germany means TO continue her China
policy with Russia. DR. Mumm who is
considered one of the brightest and most
promising German diplomats and who,
until now, 1t was generally supposed,
would succeed DIR. Won Heleben at
Washington, promptly de cared that he
was ready to assume the dangerous mis-
sion at the emperor's personal desire.
At the Chinese legation here today a
representative Of the Associated Press
was informed that the viceroys had sent
information that the rising had declined
and would soon be queled. The legation
officials do not believe the other minis
ters at Pekin have been murdered. Bar
on Won Ketteler's assassination, they
say, does not mean that the Chinese anti
foreign agitation is especially aimed at
the Germans. The ignorant rabble, COM
prising the boxers, say the officials, do
not know the difference between Eng
lishmen and Germans To them al are
simply foreigners. 1t is believed at the
legation that the report Is true that the
dowager empress Is again in power. The
officials are unable TO say whether or
not Prince Tuan was responsible for the
Pekin outrages.
