SPENCER WILKINSON
Says Tuesdays Victories Have Put Things
Straight for the British.

London March dispenser Wilkinson,
reviewing the situation in South Africa
for The Associated Press AT midnight.
says:
The Victories Of Tuesday have put the
campaign straight, from the British point
OF view. The important matters We're the
defeat Of Cronjc and the destruction OF 4
part Of his force and the defeat IF the
Boer army in Natal! both OF which were
effected. tuesday.
as a matter Of course upon the retreat of
the beseging forces. The raising of the
siege Of Ladysmith was. of course. vital
matter for the British army. 1t is the re-
suit of Gen. Buffers continuous lighting,
coupled with Lord Roberts invasion Of
the Free STATE.
Gen. Butler seems to nave been sur
prised to hnd that he had beaten tho
Beers Tuesday. Nothing is COmmOner in
war than for an army, after hard fight
ing to be doubtful of the extent of its
success. Few generals learn. as Grant
did. in his first command, that the cnemy
was ..as much frightened Of me as | wds
of him.
The question now is as to the future
course Of events There cannot be much
doubt as to the issue, provided no foreign
power or powers interfere.
Lord Roberts can either order Gen. Bul-
ler with the 10000 men OF the now united
Natal army. to advance on Pretoria, while
he himself moves by Rloemfontein and
the Free State railway. or he can bring
around most of Buller's force To reinforce
his own army. In either case the Boer
strategists will have a hard task to make
a promising plan Of campaign
The best Boer plan is, perhaps. to leave
the rear guard 10 cover the passes from
Natal and to concentrate all the rest ui
their forces to resist Lord Roberts. In
this way they might in a week from now
meet Roberts with. perhaps. equal num-
berts; but Roberts will BE- reinforced from
week t. week. whi-e the Boers cannot De
for the moment.
The position seems to be that there are
60p or 1000 Beers within striking distance
of Roberts at ASfUntein. If that is tho
case he will either disperSe or captur,
the small BOer force unless ii rapidly re-
treats until reinforced.
The invasion of cape Colony has broken
down; and We may shortly hear that the
British have recovered the passages IF tht
Orange river. Mafeking may have hard
time for the next two or three weeks. as
a part Of CronjcS Beers seem to nave re
treated northwird. and some of them ma y
swell the besieging force. but Lord Rob
erts will probably contriVe To push Tor
ward a small force on the Mafeking llnt
| and raise the siege. while he is draWins

London. March 5.-Mr. Spencer Will

merely reviews the small events an
nounced in the dispatches from the
front and expresses the opinion that the
Beers cannot place more than 10000
men to oppose Lord Roberts except by
complete abandonment Of Natal. He
says: Without that the Beers much
keep two strong rear guards, one at
the creStS of the Free State passes and
the other at Biggarsbers. Gen. Butler
is between them and can threaten
either at his discretion. He can
compel them to keep dis
proportionate force on the two lines
or to leave one or the other open to his

Deliberate Attempts 10 Wreck Boston Train
Near Hampton Station.

Portsmouth. n. H., March Am at
tempt was made, tonight, to wreck the
train leaving Boston at 6.35 just after
it pulled out of the Hampton depot.
The train was just gathering headway
when the engine struck a sleeper laid
across the tracks. and succeeded in
throwing it off. A few rods farther
another sleeper was thrown from the
track where it had evidently been
placed to derail the train.
A second attempt to wreck the same
train was also made at Seabrook. at
which point a switch had been thrown
and the switch light destroyed. Fortu-
nately. the train was a light one. consist
ing of only the engine and two cars and
the engineer was able to stop it before
any damage was done. Had there been
many cars in the train. it would surely
have been switched upon a siding where
freight cars were standing.
