THE WARM AFRICA.

General warren, Win dis DrIllsn
army division, originally numbering
about 16, 900 troops, has been forced to
retreat south of the Tugela river, Natal.
A dispatch from the Boer head lager,
near Ladysmith. states that the British
left 1900 dead on the battlefield We'd
nesday, the day of the fighting at Spion
kop.
The news OF General Warren's re-
treat comes in an official dispatch from
General Butler, COMMUNICATIVE chief 10
Natal, sent from his headquarters al
Spearman's Camp at 6:1O p. IN. Saturday
aud made public by the London War
Office last night for the first time.
Perhaps the remainder of General
Buffers army, which was north of the
Tueela, has also retreated. The Gen
erals dispatch says he decided to with
draw 1.-The force" to the south side.
This apparently refers only to Warren's
division, but is construed 10 some quar-
tiers in London to mean Buffers entire
force.
1t is believed in London that If the
remaining troops under Butler have
not retreated already they must do so
soon.
General Butler, it is also stated, will
probably try to force his way to Lady
smith by another route. He has tried
the central and western routes and
the only one left open seems to be the
one east OF Colenso. by way of Weenen.
A change of plans like this would
PROBABLY involve delay of at least two
weeks. In the meantime Ladysmith
might be forced to surrender.
An opirion held 10 London is that
General White, at Lsdysmith, will fire
of all his ammunition, blow up his CAN
hon, break his rifles and then walk out
ami surrender to the Beers.
The dispatches from correspondents
with the British army give no estimates
OF the losses in the fighting. The Boer
statement that 1900 were left dead on
the oat,le field Wednesday, 1t is said 10
London, may include the wounded
also.
The Beer account of the Spion kop
battle initiates that the British really
surprised the Beers when they ascend
cd the kob aud occupied one of its
ridges. Ths British also intrenched
themselves hurriedly, but the Beers
advanced On the trenches and after
desperate Tight caused the British to
abandon the position. "Many Beers
were SHOT," says the dispatch, but it
gives no figures.
Dispatcnes from Spearmsn's camp
give the British account OF the fight
wnicn 60 u confirm the generally
accepted belief that the whole sffair
was a bosr trap. They state that "the
boefs nsd Inc ranges fixed to q nice.
~" ana tnat their first volley mo
mentarhy staggered the British" The
resistance OF the small force of Beers
who retreated from the position into
which General Warren advanced is d..
scribed as "disspirited."
the taillire OF General Warren's
movemeDt must have been q great sur
prise 10 General Butler. In an order
to MS troops at the beginning of the
movement he used these words: sour
generals will be given only one order,
Dahely; advance. There will be no
tuning back"

HOUSE.
Mr.. Dalzsll from the committee on
rules, reported the Sulzer resolution
asking for the appointment OF special
committee of nine members of the House
to make q thorough investig ton into
the dealings between the Secretary of
he Treasury and the National City
Bank, Hanover National Bank of NV
York or any other national bank and
the sale of the New York Custom House
The report suggested the resolution
should be referred to the ways and
means committee.
Mr.. Richardson, democratic leader,
said there ought 20 be an investigation
because it hsd been shown that the Ma
tonal City Bank bad never completed
title to the New York Custom House
and yet Secretary Gage had sent CON-
muuIcatiOn to Congress asking for
money with which to pay rent for the
occupation of That property, the tile
to which had never passed out Of the
hands Of the government, There must

SOM believed it was to save that bank
from having to pay to the city or State
of New York $50, 900 Or S75 600 oftaxes.
He protested that the Secretary Of the
Treasury should not enter into partner
zip with private banking institution
TOR any such purpose.
Mr.. Sulzer said the investigation was
demanded by the whole country.
The secretary's action iu connection
with the sale of the Custom House
property was Infamous. 1t showed that
he had been used by the Standard Oh
Trust and Its band to manipulate the
stock market 10 their interests. His !
conduct was scsndalous aud outrageous
and be should be impeached.
