London, Feb. 2.-Mr. WyndiIam's
remarkable declaration in the house
of commons that Great Britain will
have in fortnight 10000 regulars
III South Africa, 1000 Canadians and
Australians and $4,000 South African
volunteers is received with wonder
ment. OF this total of 213, 900 troops.
with 452 guns, all are now there, with
the exception of about $4,000 that are
afioat. Beyond comparison this is the
largest force Great Britain has ever
put into the field. At the end of the
Crimean war she had scraped to-
gether $4,000 men. Wellington at
Waterloo had $4,000. Mr.. Wyndham's
speech was tn. strongest defense the
government has yet put forward as to
what has been done and is being done
The general tone of the morning pa
pers is that his figures will astonish
the country. Roughly speaking, only
$4,000 men are at the front. Ten
thousand others have been lost and
10000 are shut up at Ladysmith. Ex-
Guiding these, there are 10000 troops
who have not yet been in action, in
addition to those at sea.

News of Buffers Movement Confirmed
London, Feb. 2.--Tnere is a decided
~ more cheerful feeling in London.
The confirmation of the report that
Gen. Butler had announced that he
would relieve Lad ySmith. together with
the unconfrmed report that he had
actually begun a new forward move
ment. had a good effect on the public
mind. Figures Just published have
had Il reassuring effect. The govern
ment announces that it was ascer-
tanned before the war began that the
Beers could put $4,000 men into the
field. Gen. Joubert. according 10 late
adyices, has 10000 men surrounding
Ladysmith and confronting Gen. Hul-
Ter. In the recent turning movement
Gen. Butler lost 1885 men, but the
places are filled. The Beers have no
means of replacing the lost men with
fresh soldiers. Looking al the matter
in this light, it is inevitable that .Iou-
bert will be beaten as il was that
Grant would take Richmond.
There is no official news from Gen.
Buller's headquarters and the only in
formation which has reached London
in any way supporting the reports
that he has recrossed the Tugela river
