sion caused by what may justly be
designated the most anxious pause
since the war began had not been re-
lieved up to the time of writing by
anything save the daily stock exchange
rumor, which happens to have been
started by the bulls, who assert that
General Warren has captured SpiOn-
kopf. Anxiety in regard to the news
is visible on all sides. The war office
was besieged at an early hour in the
morning and the clubs and other re-
sorts liable to receive early news have
been crowded with eager inquirers.
1t is generally recognized that the
Boer position, if ever taken, can only
be captured at a tremendous cost.
Dispatch from Pretoria.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dated
Tuesday, Jan. %, somewhat amplifies
the dispatch of Monday, Jan. %, from
the BOer head laager, cabled to the
Associated Press. 1t says: -Four or
five times during the day the British
replaced their wearied soldiers by
fresh ones. The Boer casualties to
date are one man killed and two men
slightly injured. Our men are in ex-
cellent spirits. There is a large
slaughter of the British. General
Botha is now in sole command, Gen
eral Cronje having been sent else
where"
The same dispatch, apparently re-
ferring to the situation at Colenso,
says: zone Of the large Boer maXims
was temporarily disordered, but was
soon repaired. The British northern
camp is in confusion. People are OBJ
served trekking aimlessly in all direc-
tions."
Excitement at High Pitch.
AS the afternoon progressed the ex-
element on Pail Mall reached a high
pitch. But the war office officials re-
iterated at $3.50 p. m. the oft-repeated
statement that Nothing had been re-
ceived from General Butler" The
suspense was increased by the belief
that General Butler would never have
published his intention to attack the
Beers on Spionkopf unless satisfied
that the assault would be carried out
before the news could be published,
and it was fully anticipated that the
news of his success or failure would
reach London in few hours at the
most. The cabinet ministers called
at the war Office after lunch to ask for
news.

his money was. Barry would not tell,

one lived near him he was not an
