SIGNALS WE'RE MISTAKEN.
Beers Meet the British and Suffer
Terrible Loss.

Boer Comp, Upper Tugela River
Jan 10, Friday.-The British now oc-
cupy three positions along the Tugela
river Their naval guns have been
firing steel pointed armor piercing
shells.
Reports being received that 1000
British cavalry were attempting to
outfiank US along the Drakensburg
ridge, strong patrol was sent to re-
connoiter. Mistaking the signals, the
scouts and patrol proceeded to kOpje
from which terrific rifle and Maxim
gun fire suddenly opened. The Beers
lost fourteen men killed and twenty
wounded. The British loss was prob
ably insignificant
The bOmbardment of the BOer posi-
tons from Swartzkop was resumed
yesterday, chiefly from battery
brought across the river On the after
noon the cannonading became exceed
inSly brisk and under cover thereof,
the infantry advanced in three lines
to a second row of kopjes which they
occupied at nightfall but later they
retired TO their Old position.
During the night a score OF shells
were fired by the British and balloon
was sent up to spy out the Boer posi-
tions. The naval guns renewed the
bombardment this morning from a
Kew position but without result
The three British positions are the
old ChieveIey camp near Colenso. the
central position at Swartzkop Drift
where they hold both banks of the
river and point higher up in the di-
rection of Zunckles, where they have
bridged the river and established an
immense commissariat On the sum-
NIT of the terraces at Swartzkop, they
have placed five naval guns and have
brought the field artillery across the
river to a small kopje on the northern
bank whence they keep up an inces-
SAINT and terrific cannonade on the
Boer branches.
Since the beginning of the week,
communication with the different nosi-
tons has been kept up under the or
deal of this cannonade, the casualties
resulting from this being heavier than
those occurring at Colenso. One of
the shells from the naval guns killed
father and son. Free Skaters, who
were chatting at the time. Strangely,
neither had any visible wounds.

THEY LOOK TO WARREN.
British Are Beginning to Lose All
Confidence in Butler.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: An Eng
lish South African, almost unrivaled in
experience and knowledge, says that
his hopes are conferred in General War
rem, rather than in General Butler. He
says that Warren has long been known
among the Dutch as 'tthe general For
example, a friend accompanying Cecil
Rhodes through the Barley West dis
trict during his election tour in August
1898, heard constant references to the
general" and asked who he was. Sir
Charles Warren, of course" was the
invariable reply.
Before Mr. Rhodes had foreseen and
carried out the great scheme of eXpan-
sion nOrthWard. General Warren had
been preaching it to deaf ears. His ex-
petition through Bechuanaland in 1855.
when the Beers were disputing over
war nOrthWaTd, was bloodless This
was due to the dread which his name
inspired among the TranSvaal Dutch.
He has HAD greater experience in South
Africa than any other British general,
and his column is the only one that has
attacked the enemy in the Boer way
among the bOulders and kopjes, and
taken advantage of the cover offered
by the rocks.
The plan on which the British troops
are now operating was not heard of un-
til Warren's arrival and the compli-
ments so freely bestowed upon the the
oretical brilliancy of General Buffers
turning movement have been earned in
reality by the general who is carrying
out the new method of operations with
warinesS and elaboration.
General Warren is described as a man
of military genius, and as profoundly
religious, resembling in many respects
General Gordon, and having a far-See-
ing mind. He has no social qualities,
and it is probable that his aversion for
drawing rooms and the dislike of the
Lord Wolseley gang for 4 stern. mys-
tically-minded soldier of the Gordon
type have stood in the way of his pro-
motion
If Warren succeeds, it will be the
most brilliant feat of arms since the
campaign, and General Bull
ler's victory viii be followed by the
complete caving in of the Dutch forces,
and the war will virtually be ended; if
the movement fails, the fault will not
be Warren's but the collapse of Buffers
campaign will be most disastrous.

BLUNDERs OF INcoMPETENTs.
Indignation and Disgust at Yeoman-
ry Increasing in London.

London, Jan 23.-The Indignation
and disgust expressed at the blunders
and incapacity of the yeomanry staff,
to whom is ascribable the rank failure
threatening to overwhelm the move
fnent started with such a fanfare of
trumpets are increasing daily.
Those who were able to carry the
scheme to success have been met at
every turn with red tape and all kinds
OF obstacles and Sights by the inner
circle of titled incapables. resulting in
scores of good men Withdrawing from
participation in the plans. In the case
of South BedfOrdshire yeomanry
whole company of $50 selected men has
disbanded in disgust.
The dispatches posted at the war
office up to o'clock this afternoon,
though dated Spearman's Camp to-
day, contain nothing but reports OF
casualties. General Butler reports
that the wounded, Jan. 20, included;

WANT OF FORESIGHT.
Morley Says England Stumbled Into
War in the Dark.

London, Jan. 24-John Morley, adj
dressing his constituents at Forfar
made but little reference to the present
aspects OF the war in South Africa, con
filming himself chiefly to a renewal OF
his indictment of the policy which
led to hostilities." He ridiculed the
notion that a few Boer successes en-
title the Transvaal to be described a
first-class military power and de
clared that the fact of the Beers send
ing the ultimatum no more disposed of
al other questions than the defiance of
the American colonists in throwing the
tea into Boston harbor disposed of all
the questions of the war of American
independence.
1T is quite certain" continued Mr..
Morley, that had the government ap-
preciated the temper Of the Transvaal
people and foreSeen what was coming
what we ali know in these black.
gloomy days-there would have been no
war it is dreadful but true that a
want Of foresight and decent Informal
ton led the government to stumble
into war in the dark.

July 2S. if applied to a great power,
surd. if the government really believed
in a Dutch conspiracy, to spend time
in negotiations regarding the franchise.
The conspiracy was an afteTthought of
the government, conjured up to make
a. hideous and CHASTITY blunder."
In conclusion Mr.. Morley declined to
commit himself as to what would hap
fen ia the future. but he warned his
hearers not to be duped by the idea that

ALL EAGER FOR NEWS.
London War Office Is Unable to APP
pease the People.


London. Jan 24-The war office was
besieged at an early hour this morning
and the clubs and other resorts liable
to receive early news have been crowd
ed with eager inquirers.
1t is generally recognized that the
Boer position, if ever taken, can only
be captured at a tremendous cost.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Tues
day, Jan. %. somewhat amplifies the
dispatch of Monday, Jan. %, from the
Boer head laager, cabled to the Asso-
ciated Press last evening. 1t says:
-Four or five times during the day
the British replaced their weafied sol
diers by fresh ones. The Boer casual
ties to date are one man killed and two
slightly injured. Our men are in eX-
cellent spirits. There is d large slaugh-
ter of the British. General Botha is
now in sole command. General Cronje
having been sent elsewhere"
The same dispatch, evidently refer
ring to the situation at Colenso, says:
"One of the large Boer MaXims was
temporarily disordered. but was soon
repaired. The British north camp is in
confusion. People are observed trek
king aimlessly in all directions.
As the afternoon progressed, the eX-
element on Pail Mall reached a high
pitch But the war Office officials re-
iterated at $3.50 p. m. the oft-repeated
statement that nothing had been re-
ceived from General Butler
The suspense was increased by the
belief that General Butler would have
never published his intention to attack
the Beers on Spionkop unless salts
fed that the assault would be carried
out before the news could be published,
and it was fully anticipated that the
news of his success or failure would
reach London in a few hours at the
most. The cabinet ministers called at
the war office after lunch to ask for
news.

THE SILENCE OF DEATH.
Tactics of the Beers That Greatly
Puzzle the British.


Boer Camp, Upper Tugela River,
Sundny, Jan. 2i.-After Commandant
Botha checked the British advance yes
terday morning it was expected that
there would be no further action until
tomorrow. This morning, however,
signs were discerned of an intended
movement in the British northern
camp.
When the heat, which was more
frightful than any yet experienced, had
worn off. the British cannon started IN
full force and the infantry advanced in
extended order. Generals Botha and
Cronje held the high hills over which
the road to Ladysmith passed. When
the Mauser fire opened, a pandemonium
of sound filled the air The vindictive
crash of Lyddite shells, the sharp vol
leys of Lee-M etfoTds, and the whip
like crack of Mausers were interSperSed
with the boom of the Boer Maxims.
The battle ended with darkness, but
not without evidences of execution
among the British that was manifest
at sunrise. Field Cornet Ernst Emilio
was killed, nor did the generals escape
unscathed.
At the central position, Swartzkop,
where the other road to LadySmith
crosses the hills, the British advanced
from low kopjes on the banks of the
Tugela unmolested. Then they entered
the zone of Mauser fire, and although
their naval guns kept up the usual ter
rible racket, the advance was stopped
and the British had toNcount out their
dead and wounded.
Commandant Viljoen and two burgh-
ers were knocked senseless by an ex-
plosion of Iyddite, but Commandment
Viljoen recovered. Field Cornet He'll
bron was wounded, and on refusing to
was shot.
The loss was probably insignificant
They complain that expansive bullets
in Mausers were fired in the field and
soft -nosed bullets with Lee Metfords
The Beers admit that sporting Mausers
were occasionally found, but they deny
