LORD ROBERTS LUCK
The Field Marshal's Hairbreadth Es.s
capes in India =

Lord Roberts is a living example of the
hazardous nature of the soldiers calling
The number of narrow escapes Which no
mas experienced lead one almost to believe
that he bears a charmed life. During the
hs1ting before the walls of Delhi a bullet
struick him on the back passed through a
leather pounch for caps which he usually
wore in front near his pistol holster The
mere accident of this pouch having slipped
round to his back prevented the ball from
penetrating as deeply as 1t otherwise would
nave done, As it was the wound was a.
rather severe one.
In the action at Bulandshar he saw a.
Sepoy taking aim at him, and was unable
TO get at the man because of the crush of
soldiers around him. Just, however, as the
mutineer fired, Roberts horse reared and
received the bullet in its head.
A month later, during the advance on
Lucknow, Roberts and another young Off
Ger rode forward to mark out the camp. and
were cut off from the main body by a large
number of the enemy. Riding as hard as
they could, under a hot fire, they were at
tepting to escape round the enemy's flank
when Roberts horse fell with him into a
deep nullah The enemy gained the edge
of the nullah and opened fire at close
range, the situation being rendered all the
more perilous from the fact that Roberts
had accidentfy cut his hand with his drawn
sword. and he had some difficulty in re-
uiVuutiiS, All length ne scrambled out,
and. dueking to avoid the shots, regained
the main body. g
During the attack on Lucknow, and in
accordance with Sir C'olin CamphelPs orr
ders, Roberts planted "a flag on one of the,
turrets of the Mott iMahal A shower of
shot was aimed at il, and 1T was knocked
down into the ditch. At great personal risk
Roberts again PLACED the standard in posi-
tion, only to see ut struck again IN short
time later. the sts n being actually cut in,
two. third time the gallant young officer;
raised the flag, y fer which it suffered no
further harm. Es-v
On another 90 casion, when accompanying
a body of cavs ry in pursuit of the enemy.
Roberts saw two Sepoys making off with a
standard. RRing after the gebels, he cut
down one. ar j wrenched the staff from HE
grasp; hiRt lille so-doiBg he was unable to
deal with y,he other man. who, presenting
the muzzls of his muslset close to Roberts
body. piRied the trigger Fortunately the
piece missed fire.

Frankfort, KY, February s.-while Mr..
Goebel lay dying in the afternoon fear
was generally expressed that after he had
expired there would be disorder and riot
ing in the streets Mayor Dohoney, in an
ticipation of such a contingency, ordered
all saloons closed. They were kept locked
from shortly after noon. Around the cap
itol hotel and in its corridors then were
dense crowds of people anxiously awaiting
the news from the bedroom of the dying
man. There was not, however, the slight
est indication of trouble, either among the
excited men in the hotel lobby or on the
streets. Tonight the streets were abso-
lutely deserted.

BUTLER READY
TO TRY AGAIN
He Cannot Afford to Sit. Still
Now.
MAY HAVE ALREADY MOVED
Spencer Wilkinson Says That He Will
Have to Adopt Tactics Similar
to Those of Gen. shef-
man at Atlanta -.

z ...
: London, February 4-speneer Wilkinson
writes the following review of the situa--
tion in South Africa for the Associated
Press tonight:
at is morally impossible for Buffers
army, SO long as there is any fight left in
dit, to SIT sa1l while Sir George White is in
vested ait Ladysmith. Better Tram that
would be ITO lose 10000 men in an attempt
at relief. Accordingly, it is probable, that
General Butler will try again, and, indeed,
that he is NOW en- the move or fighting.
"As ne has kept General Ly'Jteton's brig
AIDE neTth of the river, the probability is
that Ills next move will be an advance ON
Lyttletlons right. He would hardly go to
Lylttletons left, because THAT would only
lead TO a fresh attack ON Spion Kop and
the range of which 1T is a part. He would
not go to the east of Colenso except with
his whole force, less Bartons brigade. The
Retention of Ly5tleton's brigade ait Potgfe--
ter's drift may, therefore, be taken as proof
that the new move will not be to the east,
of Colenso.
East of Potgieters there are several
drifts, one or two of which General Bull
ler's guns command, and he cam therefore,
cross the river, but the Beers have had
ample time to prepare positions beyond the
river.
"A frontal attack would, as usual be
costly; out unless the general is prepared
for a heavy loss, he has little chance of
breaking Through the Boer defenses. The
right PLAN would be that adopted by Gem
eral Sherman, when he pushed back john
ston from Chattanooga to Atlanta. Sher-
man en6renched along johns tons front and
then extended his line to one of the TANKS.
BY the time Sherman was ready to move
force around his entrenched line to at
tack Johnston in the flank and threaten
his retreat, the confederate general usu-
ally withdrew. SUCH tactics are practi-
cable onl' with a force numerically supe-
rior. We don't know the strength eff the
Beers in Natal. Winston Churchill esti-
mates thom at only 1900, of whom 1000
are observing Ladysmitn. This would give
Butler $1,000 against 200, and should rem
der possible something like Sherman's man.
euve-s. There is reason to believe that
General Buffers estimate of the Beer force
is much higher.
Roberts VIII Not Hurry
Lord Roberts will certainly not hurry his
move from the Cape. He will first complete
the assemblying of his forces, which will
not all, however, arrive for three weeks.
After this he will probably make a rapid
movement, but no outcry will induce him to
start until he considers all is ready.
Last weeks report that Mafeking had
been relieved seems to have arisen from
Colonel Plumer's slsirmfsh near Crocodile
Pool. The report came from Boer sources,
and This origin of it seems to show that the
Beers are mot, sanguine of success in the
northwest. They have probably reduced
their forces in that region in order to
strengthen themselves against General Me-
thuen and General Butler.

Dlnreggan Rescued.

Shortly after 4 p. m. yesterday the
British bark Dunreggsn was pulled
of the reef below Diamond Head
aud towed to Honolulu. The dam
age to the ship aud cargo has not
yet been ascertained, but We wish to
compliment the master OF the tug
Fearless on the excellent work done.
The Fearless was hardly ready to
go to work, having arrived here
from San Francisco less than 48
hours before the Br itish vessel was
stranded. Captain Brokaw didn't
wait to have his vessel painted
and his uniform washed when the
message Of the Dunreggan disaster
reached him. He got there at once
aud when the tide came in at 3 p.
m. to-day he had everything ar
ranged to pull the steel bark off,
and he succeeded.
1t is a pleasure to record this first
success of Spreckels' famous tug
boat which has been assigned TO
stay in our waters.
A large sum OF money would have
been lost il the Fearless had not
been on deck at the right moment
aud great praise is due to every one
from the captain to the cook.
