Warren's Withdrawal Has Moral Eff

London, January 26 In the words OF

this afternoon:
"The Associated Press said Warren's

The Spion kop Losses Not In
cIuded in List.
No Sign of Flinching on Ensland's Part
Despite Reverses.

London, January 27.-4 a. m.-Seven
days of fighting have left the main Beer
position intact and Gen. Buffers army
700 men weaker, acco riding to the official
casualty lists, which seemingly do not
inoluds the Spion Kop losses. as those
last forwarded do not mention Gen.
Woodgate's wounding
England is possessed by depressing
sense OF failure though not word In
uttered. Not much effort is made to place
happy construction upon Gen. Buller's
bare eighteen words telling Of the retire
ment from Spion Kop and there Is an
uneasy impression abroad that worse
nows is yet to come. At one Of the mill
tary clubs tonight, the statement passed
from one member to another that the
war office had received an unpleasant
supplemen tary despatch from ,sen.
Butler, which was being held up for i2
hours.
Mr.. Spencer wilkinson in the Morning
Post, writes as follows OF the Spion
Kop loss:
"This Is a serious matter and an at
tempt will not here he made to min imize
it, for NO creator wrong can DO done to
our people at home than to mislsad them
about the Significance OF the events OF the
war. The right way is to toll the truth
as far as we know it.
But facts from the nsighborhood Of the
Tugela are soantier than ever. The CEN
sorship now Ia simply prohibitive and
something is wrong with the cables.
More troops is the only suggestion
here as to the way to break the Bosr re-
sistanoe. MIR. Wilkinson regrets that
Gen. Butler has not e. 900 more men,
declaring that, II they would not make
victory certain his enterprise without
them Is hopeless.
The Spectator, dealing with the necsssi-
ty OF large additional military prepara-
tions, says:
at may be that we have yet another
cycle of disasters in front OF us.
The transport Asssye arrived at Cape
Town last Friday with 2.127 officers and
men. The first portion OF the seventh
division Is afoat. Hencs. with 1000
men of this division and about 5000 9TH
ers now at sea, it lies in the power OF
Lord Roberts to reinforce Gen. Butler
heavily. This course is advised by mill
tary writers.
Although Englsnd's nerves are severe
ly tried. her nerve is absolutly unshaK-
en- and probably nothing that can hap
pen In South Africa will change In the
sliaStest degree her intentions. She will
continue to receive bad news, II 1t comes,
with dignity and will maintain her de-
termination to win at last.
The morning papers editorially advise
GOODNESS and Judgment and careful
avoidance of over-estimatips the impor-
tance of the lost position. The Times
says:
"The natural disquietude Of the public
is increased by the singular vag1eness
and inoonsistence of Gen. Buller's de-
spstches. There Is. indeed, very singu-
lar and somewh hat disquieting attitude Of
dstachment In Gen. Buffers comments
as revealed In the Gazetts's dispatches.

CHARACTER OF FILIPINOS
Professor Worcester Explains his
Views.

NstWss
Washington, January 26. PROF. Dean
Worcester OF the Philippine commission
tonight gave out the following statement:
IT have bssn greatly annoyed ty mis-
leading reports of remarks which 1 have
recently made In public concerning the
habitants Of the Philippine isiards.
There are three very distinot races In the
Philippine islands and the races are again
divided into numerous tribes. the total
being no less than forty-eight. Ihsss
tribes vary in social development from
the most abj,ct sayagsry TO relatively
high degree Of ciS!iixstion. Among GER
tain of the wild tribes such customs as
head hunting, the sacrificing OF human
beings to heather divinities. ohild-msr-
riage, polygamy, infanticids and slavery
are to be found, although some Of the
wild tribes are very pacific and indulge
In none of the Objectionable practices
above enumerated.
"The remarks which I made concern
ing one or two of the head hunting tribes
have been taken as applicable to the en-
tire population, which Is OF course, alb
surd. Furthermore. / note with regret
that after my address before the Com
meroial club Of Boston in which dis
cussed the pros and cons Of the Thgalog
character. the undesirable characteristics
which / mentioned were quite fully
enumerated, but the good qualities which
/ was careful to discuss have been entire
ly omitted.
"In my book on the Philippines, as
well as in magazine article and IN
numerous public lectures and addresses. l
have repeatedly expressed my opinion OF
the Civilized native; and l wish now to
repeat that while oonsidsr him quite
unfit to establish and maintain an inde-
pendent national government at the pres
ert time, nevertheless believe that his
good qualities far outweigh his bad ones
and have great hope for his future. As
the customs, manners and laws OF the
oiyilized, as well ss the Wild tribes are
fully discussed In the second volume OF
the forthcoming repn- Of res commission
1t is TO be noped that nblc opinion may
eventually be set righ. and that the con-
fusion which perhaps not unnsturally re-
suits from attempts to ocscrite separately
certsin ones of the numerous tribes may
be avoided when all are discussed within
the limits of single volume.
