ushed this morning to relieve the apprehension
of the British public with regard to the military
situation on the Upper Tugela. There is a very
prevalent feeling of depression in London. which
contrasts strongly with the enthusiasm that
greeted the announcement of the seizure of
spion Kop by General Warren. Altogether the
runlor that the British evacuation of the Kop
was a crushing reverse is not credited in Of
fcial circles. it is currently believed that the
War ONCE authorities know more about the
actual state of affairs than they are for the
moment inclined to make public.
Meantime it is interesting to note that DR..
Leyds. who has just arrived in Berlin from
Paris, where he had been an honored guest in
official circles. was last night present at a din

AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

London, Jan. 27.-Joseph Chamberlain. who
expected to attend the banquet Of the Birming-
ham Jewellers and Silversmiths this evening,

place was taken by the Right Hon. Jesse Col
lings, Under Secretary of State for the Home Of
flee, and Austen Chamberlain, Civil Lord of the
Admiralty
The former, replying to a toast to Her Maj
esty's Minister'S" deplored the attitude of the
press in regard to the IN South Africa. He
said there had been muddle in its conduct;
and the facts, when known would show there
had been no war in which more foresight skill
and care had been displayed by the Government
than the present one. The reverses. he de-
clared, only increased the determination to
prosecute the work to the end. The war In
volved the question whether Great Britain
should maintain her position sink into an
Insignificant third rate power.
Austen Chamberlain. In the course of his re-
marks, said that II Great Britain had shirked
her responsibility the price paid would have
been the loss in the near future OF South Africa
and her separation in the not remote future
from those great branches of the Anglo-Saxon
stock. whose lOyalty-which is due TO their con-
hdence in Great Britans power to that
right Is done her subjects in every portion OF
the world-was dear to Great Britain.

A RUMoR FROM BERLIN DIscRED1TED.
REPORT THAT DISASTER OVERLOOK w
rem AT SPION KOP.

Berlin, Jan 27.-Some of the papers here claim
TO have telegram from Pretoria saying that
General Warren was enticed into Spion Kop,
where the Beers fell upon him, that seventeen
of his cannon were captured and that Buffers
hasty retreat over the Tugela River alone can
save him.
The alleged Pretoria telegram adds that the
British losses were 800 men killed and 1900
wounded. The dispatch comes through Brussels
and does not receive much credit in this city.
1t was said to-day. however, that the
officials OF the German Foreign Office had re-
ceived information confirming the reports that
the division Of General Buffers army command
ed by General Warren had been crushed by the

Transvaal or Free State subsequent to the
declaration OF war. This is explained by South
Africans as aimed apparently at Boer Gov
ernment measures for taking over and con-
hscating valuable mining properties in it's unique
method Of financing the war at the expense of
European and American shareholders This
proclamation involves the assumption that the
two Republics from the declaration OF war be-
came possessions of the Empire before they
were invaded, much less conquered.

He proposed to remain some days but had no
political designs.
Regarding mediation. Dr. Leyds said that the
Beers had no occasion to appeal to any one
everything was going splendidly AS to the
conclusion Of peace, his personal opinion was
that Great Britain would have to return large

Miss Davidson Writes Of the Mission

Miss Frances Davidson, formerly Of
the Abilene high school but now in
South African mission work, writes
as follows:
"My readers would doubtless like
to know something in regard to the
progress of the work among the ma
tives. In this line am sorry to say
there is very little to report, Ever
since the Christmas holidays and
even before the attendance both at
church and school has been small.
This has been the busy season for the
natives in digging, sowing, watching,
ard reaping and all hands are neces-
sary to provide the requisite food.
School has had a vacation part of the
time, and many and continued inter-
ruptions during the sickness in our
midst. Now, however, the busy sea-
season Of the natives is fast drawing
to a close and the rains are over, so
that we can do more visiting in their
homes. School again opened last
