Go Back A gain.
London, Jan. 2o-General Buffers de.
spatch 10 the war Office states that Spion
kop was abandoned on account of lack
of water. inability to bring artillery there
and the heavy Boer FIRE.
General Butler says General Warrens
troops have retreated south Of the Tugela
river. The Beers say the British lost
1. 500 killed Wednesday. 1t is believed
here this includes the wounded. The
Beers also claim that $50 of the English
troops surrendered at Spion kop.
Following is the text Of General Buffers
despatch, dated Spearman's camp. Sat-

ION January 10 Warren drove back
the enemy and obtained possession OF
the southern crests of the high tableland
extending from the line Of Acton Homes
and Hongerspoort to the western Lady

remained in close contact with the
enemy.
1.-THE enemy held strong position on
4 range of small kopjes stretching from
northwest to southeast across the plateau
from Acton Homes, through Spion kop,
to the left bank Of the Tugela.
"The actual position held. was per
fectly tenable, but did not lend itself to
an advance, as the southern slopes were
so steep that Warren could not get an
effective artillery position. and water
supplies were difficulty.

south of the Tugela without the loss of a
man or pound of stores.
"The fact that the force should with
draw from actual touch-in some cases
the lines were less than thousand yards
