BRITISH DEFEAT
AT SPIONKOP.
BRITISH RECROSS TEGULA AF-
SEVERE REVERSES.
General Warren Forced to Retire, Leaving
1900 Dead and Wounded on the
FisId-LadyHmith In Des-
PeFate Straits.

Gen. Butler, in a dispatch to the War
office January 30, states that Spiontkop
was abandoned on account of lack Oh
water, inability to bring artillery there
and the heavy Boer fire. He gives ne
list of causalties. His whole force
withdrew south OF the Tugela river
with the evident intention of reaching
Ladysmith by another route.
GEN. Butler says Gen. Warren's troopf
have retreated south of the Tugeis
river.
The Beers say the British lost 1900
killed Wednesday. 1t is believed thiS
includes the wounded. The Beers alsS
claim that $50 of the English troops
surrendered at spionkop.
A dispatch from Boer Head Lager,
LAdysmith, says: 1.-The British dead

1t may be regarded as a certainty
that, in the confident hope of early
relief, Sir George White has lately
been issuing extra rations and this
fact has given rise TO an exaggerated
idea as to the length. Of time the pro-
visions would last.
Even should IL be decided to send
Gen. Butler reinforcemsnts and to at
tempt to reach Ladysmith by move
ment through the still more difficult
country east of Colenso, it is extremely
doubtful whether the garrison could
hold out long enough as such move
ment would occupy at least month.

British Casualties At spIonkop.

The list of British casualties at Spi-
opkop has boon swelled to 1900 and
may reach $500. The loss is 20 per-
cent of all tho troopS engaged. which
is greater THAI any British force ever
suffered, except possibly at Albures,
Spain, in 1911. The ground was too
rough for intrenchments, aud too in
accessible to bring heavy artillery
which could cope with the Boer guos.
Reinforcements were met by tho rO-
treating forces soon after the position
was abandoned

CHAPTER XVIII.

The long wait for the coming of the
big transports with the regulars was
over. For the first time in history
America was sending her soldiery past
the pyramids and through the Indian
sea, landing them, after 40 days and
nights of voyaging, upon the low, flat
shores that hem Manila bay, and SHOW
ing them out to the hostile front be-
fore their sea-legs could reach the
swing and stride of the marching step;
yet, to all appearance, as unconcernedly
at home as though they had been cam
paigning in the Philippines since the
date of their enlistment. This, to be
sure, in the case of more than half
their number, would have given them
scant time in which to look about them,
since raw recruits were more numerous

assigned them; and once more the army
assumed the aggressive.

ton of the forces even before the move
