REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
Spencer Wilkinson Tells What He
Thinks Butler should Do.

Spencer WILKINSON Tells What ne
Thinks Butler should Do.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-Spencer Wilkinson
writes the following review of the situa-
ton in Africa for the Associated Press:
1T Is morally impossible for Buffers army
long there is any fight in it. to sit
still while Sir George White Is invested at
Ladysmith Better than that would be to
lose ten thousand men at an attempt at
relief Accordingly it is probable that
General Butler will try again, and, indeed,
that he is now on the move or fighting.
AS he has kept General Lyttieton's brigade
north Of the river, the probability Is that
his next move will be an advance on Lyt-
tleton's right. He would hardly go to Lyt-
tleton's left, because that would only lead
to fresh attack on Spion kop and the
range of which II Is part. He would not
go to the east of Colenso except with his
whole force. less Baton's brigade. The re-
tention of Lyttleton's brigade at Potgieters
drift may, therefore. be taken as proof that
the new move will not be TO the east Of
Coenso. East of Potgieters there are sew
eral drifts, one or two of which General
Buffers guns command, and he can, there
fore. cross the river, but the Beers have
had ample time to prepare positions beyond
the river. A frontal attack would be cost
ly, but unless the general is prepared for
heavy loss he has little chance of breaking
through the Boer defenses
1.-The right plan would be that adopted by
General Sherman when he pushed back
Johnston from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
Sherman intrenched along Johnston's front
and then extended his line to one of the
TANKS. By the time Sherman was ready to
move a force round behind his intrenched
line to attack Johnston In the flank and
threaten his retreat. the Confederate gem
eral usually withdrew. Such tactics are
practicable only with force numerically
superior. We do not know the strength of
the Beers in Natal. Winston Churchill es-
Inmates them at only 1900, of whom 1000
are observing Ladysmith. This would give
Butler $1,000 against 1900 and should rem
der possible something like Shermans
maneuvers. But there is reason to believe
that Buffers own estimate of the Boer
force is much higher
Lord Roberts will certainly not hurry
his move from the cape. He will first COM
plete the assembling of his forces, which
will not all have arrived for another three
weeks. Then he will have transport prop
erly organized and in working order before
he will start After that he will probably
make a rapid move. but no outcry will in
duce him 10 start until he considers all Is
ready.
Last weeks report that Mafeking had
been relieved seems to have arisen from
Colonel Plumer's skirmish near Crocodile
pools. The report came from Boer sources
and this origin of 1t seems to show that
, the Beers are not sanguine of success In
the northwest. They have probably re-
duced their forces in that region in order to
strengthen themselves against General Me-
thuen and General Butler"

LONDON, Feb. 4, 4::3O a. H.
Nothing has been given out by
the War Office concerning General
Buffers movements, but it is gen.
orally believed that he is making
another effort to relieve Lady
smith. A dispatch from Spear
mans Camp, dated Feb. 2, says:
'The Beers fire occasionally at the
troops on the right flank. 1t is re-
ported they have dug up the roads
leading to Ladysmith in order to
make transport difficult, have made
several trenches along the route
and are busy strengthening those
in front of their position.
The latest from Kimberley, dated
Feb. 2, says: 'sBeyond the Beers
desultory shelling yesterday, the
situation is unchanged. Only six
wounded are now in the hospitals,
the rest having peen discharged.
Practically every house now has a
bomb-proOf shelter"

OFFICIAL REPORTS.


Copyright, 1900. by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, JAN Z.-The official dispatches
forwarded by General Butler, published by
the War Office to-day and summarized by
cable, clear up many moot points and form
an excellent record of the campaign up to
the beginning of November The expulsion
of Yules regiment from Dundee. written
by Sir George White, is as follows:
Turning now to affairs at Dundee
which / have already described up to the
evening Of Oct. %. On the morning of Oct
q ii was ascertained that the enemy had
cleared off from the east of that place, but
very large bodies were reported to be ad-
vancing from the north and northwest
General Yule moved his camp on this day
to a more defensible position to the south
of the previous camp, but the enemy,
bringing up heavy artillery to the shoulder
of the Impati mountain, rendered the site
untenable. and another move was made to
a site still further south. On Oct % Gen.
eral Yule decided to effect junction with
the troops at Ladysmith. A reconnaissance
in force showed that the Glencoe pass was
very strongly neld, and that to force it
would entail heavy loss. The troops
therefore moved off at p. m. by the Help
makaar road, reaching Beth on the I'D
and Waschbank spruit on Oct "a. at $50 a.
m. Knowing of General Yule's approach,
1 moved out this day to Reitfontein to COW
er his flank from attack, and there fought
an action which will be described later
Meanwhile, General Yule. hearing my guns
in action, halted his infantry at wasch-
bank spruit and moved west with his artil-
lery and mounted troops. in hopes of being
able to participate in the action. The dis
tance, however. was found to be too great,
and he rejoined his infantry at waschbank
spruit, halting there for the night. On the
morning of Oct % General Yules forces
marched to Sunday river, whence IL
reached Ladysmith on Oct. 25. being joined
on the route by a force detached by me TO
meet 1t. The casualties at Dundee, after
Oct &C. were very slight, and none what
ever was incurred on the march TO Lady,
smith. where the troops arrived fit and
WELL
"Reverting to my action at Rietfontein.
on Oct. "a. l may mention in general terms
that my object was not to drive the enemy
out of any positions. but simply to pre-
vent him crossing the Newcastle road from
west 10 east, and so falling on General
Yule's flank This object was attained
with entire success, the enemy suffering
severely from our shrapnel fire. which was
very successful in searching the hills on
which ne was posted"
Lord Methuen's account OF the battle of
Belmont shows that he was forced into
making a frontal attack Major General

CNANr ON n.y., Ecu. o.
Civil and military authority have
come face to face at last, and un-
less one or the other recede from
the position they occupy tonight,
there can be but one outcome, and
that is civil war.
Governor Taylor must, within
forty-eight hours, surrender to the
Circuit Court of Franklin county
the person of Alonzo Walker, now
held in custody by him in the State
executive building, or Sheriff Suter,
of Franklin county, with a power
full posse at his back, will attempt
his release by force, and it is
hardly within the range of possi-
bilities that the attempt can be
made without blcodshed or loss of
life.
If once blood is shed in armed
conflict in the streets of Frankfort
it is beyond the wisdom of any
