A CRITICAL CONDITION.
IF Butler Fails His Retreat Will be
Difficult.

London, Jan. 2S.-Mr. Spenser Viii
kinson. whose articles on the war situa-
ton have attracted much attention here
and abroad wrote the following review
Of the situation for the Associated Press
at midnight and after the War Office
had given out a telegram from Lord Rob
erts dated at Cape Town. Saturday,
saying there was no change III the situa-
ton:
The affair of S1sion Kop appears very
like Il reverse at the decisive point Of
the decisive battle. According TO Gen
eral Buffers telegram. General Warren
determined to take the hill because it
commanded the encmy's other positions.
Having taken it Tuesday night he aban-
doned it Wednesday night, presumably
because he was unable to hold it.
The published words OF General Rul-
ier's telegram have the tone in which
a reverse is announced. Whether the
mlShap can be made good it is impossible
10 say.
a general attacking has. to some ev-
tent, the power Of making his own de-
cisiye point. General Warren may Yet
best the enemy by success at some other
point or he may retake Spion Kop and
keep it: but unless in one way or an
other the battle now going on can be
won. there is no probability Of Lady
smith being relieved.
General Buffers army. unless sue
c%essfuI. will he III a critical position. for
its retreat would be a difficult opera
ton. The main Boer force is as near
to any point on the railway Us is Genor-
al Warrcn's wing Of Buffers army: and
the Beers have the advantage of speed.
For this reason, as well as because Of
the Importance Of his purpose TO relieve
General White. we may expect General
Butler to do his very utnost before Civ
ing up the attempt; and in this necessity
lies the best hope Of success.
The American Civil War showed how
ritlcd fire INNS by rendering assault
difficult. produced battles lasting several
days. and as since then the range and
Of fire have been greatly increased,
the p~rolongation Of the duration OF bat
tics was to be expected. But without
Il fuller knowledge than the teIegramS
as yet afford. it is not possible clearly
to interpret the episodes of the untn-
i>hed fight.
Tho report from Boer sources that
Mafeking has beer relieved is credible.
for Colonel plnmer has been persistent
~ working in that direction. and there
been time since he was last heard
Of near Gabcrones for him to cover the
intervening distance. Moreover. the
