ENTHUSIASM IN LONDON.
Departure of Volunteers rlade Occa.
sion of Patriotic Demonstration.

Departure of Volunteers rIade OCca-
sion of Patriotic Demonstration.
Remarkable scenes of patriotism
were witnessed in London Saturday
evening after short service held for
the volunteers in st. Paul's cathedral.
Though many stirring scenes have
marked the departure of the British
troops for the front during recent
months, this outburst of patriotism,
on the occasion of the starting of the
London volunteers, was quite unpre-
cedented since the jubilee.
The vast audience was slow to dis
perse. Ladies stood upon the chairs
reckoning and calling to brothers,
sons and friends in the ranks. the lat
ter signaling back. A scene of great
animation ensued. The organist in
troduced a few bars of the national
anthem in concluding the voluntary.
The effect of this was magical. First
the volunteers and then the congrega-
ton took up the strains, and the vast
cathedral was filled with enthusiastic
song.
These demonstrations were renewed
by immense crowds outside. St.
Paul's churchyard and Ludgate Hill
were black with people, and it was
impossible for the volunteers to march.
Individual members were pulled out
of the ranks by their friends and adj
mirers, who raised them on their
shoulders and thus carried them down
Fleet street to the temple. Those who
escaped hosting proceeded slowly,
surrounded by clinging women.
Afterwards at the various theaters
where the men were entertained and
yet later on returning to the barracks,
these scenes were renewed and the
streets were filled until midnight with
cheering people.

BODIES FLOATING
ON ALL SIDES
Identity Of Wrecked Vessel Is Hard 70
Establish.
RESCUE WORK DELAYED
Duration Of Stormy Weather
Proves a Bar to Investigations.

Advices from st. Johns, N. f., un-
der date Of Sunday we're to the effect
that the gale had not yet blown itself
out, and the sea was still too rough to
allow boats to get near the wreck in
st. Mary's bay.
AS yet there is nothing TO show the
name Of the vessel. Ten bodies have
been located among the rocks AMI
others can be seen floating about.
Plans have been made for recovering
these as soon as the weather permits,
and it may then be possible to get at
the name Of the steamer from pieces
of boats wedged in the clefts Of the
rocks.
A photograph which had been wash
ed ashore, apparently from the wreck,
represents seaman wearing a cap
upon which are the letters rs. NJ. S.
Fake"
1t appears that the ships funnel
was banded red, white and black with
a white diamond. This funnel could
not be that of the Fake, as she, being
a North German Lloyd liner, would
have a yellow funnel. It is also
thought that the photograph might be
one of seaman on the German war
ship Fake, or one taken while the
owner was on the other Fake.
The tunnels most closely resembling
that of the wreck are those of the
American Petroleum company, which
are banded black, red, white and
black, and the vessel certainly had a
lot of petroleum on board, as the
ocean is covered with it, causing hun
dreds of birds to perish.
1t is believed in New York that the
wrecked vessel is one of three oil
steamers chartered or owned by the
Standard Oil company.

Roberts Arrival In Africa
Does Not Relieve Fears.
SILENCE IN WAR OFFICE
On Buffers Movements and Strategy De-
pend The Safety Of Beleaguered
Garrison at LadySmith.

A London special under date of
January 10Th says; Lord Roberts
enigmatical announcement, "No
change in the situation, " does nothing
to allay public anxiety or to explain
the mystery surrounding General Bull
ler's movement on the Tugela river,
and although there is o disposition to
regard the dispatch as disposing of
Saturdays adverse rumors, the week
has opened in state Of suspense, al
most equal to that of last week, be-
cause it is recognized that failure in
General Buffers present attempt
would seal the fate of Ladysmith.
Presumably "no change in the sit
uation" refers to previous dispatches
sent to the war Office, which have not
yet been revealed to the public. Ex-
cept the announcement of the seizure
of Potgleter's Drift, and of the adj
vance of General Warren, there has
been no news from the Tugela for
a week. A ray of hope is in the fact
that the silence prevails from the
Boer SIDE Thus it may perhaps be
fairly inferred that General Butler has
not yet met q serious check.
If the announcement of General
Warren's movement be correct, it is
evident that General Buffers forces
are spread over a very wide front
perhaps twenty-five miles-and in the
event of a sudden fall of the river his
operations might be full of danger. It
is believed that General Butler has no
good survey map of the district This
will add to his difficulties General
Charles Warren's advance probably
means an attempt to sieze Hangwane
hill, the main post of the Beers south
of the Tugela. Upon the success or
failure of these operations depends
the whole future of the campaign.
Until the result is known, Lord Rob-
erts will be unable to decide how to
dispose the two divisions and the re-
Inducements now arriving.
The news from other points is of no
great Importance. Boer accounts tell
of another sortie from Kimberley,
January 9th, in the direction of KAN
fers dam, with a brief exchange of
firing, but no result. A heavy detona-
ton was heard on January 9th within
Kimberley,
A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
Modder river, dated January 10th,
gives rumor that Kimberley was be-
ing bombarded.
Bastards Mex, mentioned in Lord
Roberts dispatch as the locality of
reconnaissance is northwest of Coles
berg.
Doubts are beginning to be raised
whether it will be possible to get to-
gether anything like 10000 yeomanry.
Only a very small percentage of the
applicants satisfy the standard of rid
ing and shooting. A large number of
officers from the Egyptian army have
just left Cairo for South Africa to re-
place those killed and wounded.

Steamer Goes Down OFF
New FOundland Coast.
ALL ON BOARD PERISH
After The Wreck, Vessel Took Fire and
Went Under ID FIameS"-ReScue
Was impossible.

A special from st. Johns, N. f.,
says: The wreck and burning in st.
Mary's bay Of the unknown two-masted
steamer, with its crew Of probably
sixty and possibly some passengers,
all perishing, is one Of the worst ma
rine disasters in this section for con-
siderable period. There is not the
slightest prospect that any soul aboard
escaped death, as the intense midwin-
ter cold would kill any who escaped
drowning, and the ill-fated vessel was
of nearly 1900 tons burden. She
went ashore before daybreak Thurs.
day, striking a ledge at the foot Of the
cliff, where escape was hopeless. The
crew launched the boats, but probably
during the panic some were crushed
against her sides, others being swamp
ed, and all the occupants apparently
perishing.
The ship was seen to be afre by
residents six miles away. Attracted
to the scene, they found the after half
of the wreck blazing fiercely, and the
forepart under water. Kerosene in the
cargo helped the blaze.
At that time only three men were
left on board Two we're on the bridge
and one was in the rigging, Those on
the bridge were safe until about p.
M, when they were washed over
board and drowned, the bridge being
carried away.
The survivor soon after left the rig
ging, swan to the rocks and twice en-
deavored to get footing. Failing in
this, he made his way back to the
rigging, where he died of exposure
during the night. Many dead bodies
are visible tossing in the surf. Two
of them thrown up in a cove cannot be
reached owing to the heavy sea. One
is thought to be that of a woman.
Boats and other wreckage are strewn
among the rocks for miles. Friday
was more stormy than the day before
and it was impossible to reach the
wreck, which had gone to pieces tC
such an extent that it had sunk be-
meath the waves.
Residents along the shore made ev,
cry possible effort to rescue the sur
vivor in the rigging, but lacking prop
er outfits they were unable to succeed
A messenger who has just arrived
from Peters river, reports that trunk
filed with women's clothing has been
washed ashore there, as we'll as a gar
ment which is either a waterproof cape
such as used by woman or mans over
coat. Nearby was found some under
wear, evidently a mans, marked Will
the initials 90. j." This seems to in
dictate that the ship had passengers.
