London, Feb. 6, 4:4S p. MA spe-
cial dispatch from Durham, Natal. says:
There is no definite news from Gen.
Butler, but it is reported that there
was heavy fighting yesterday"
No CONFIRMATION at War Once.
Your correspondent learns from Off
cial sources that absolutely no con-
hrmation has been received by the war
Office of the report that Gen. Butler
has recrossed the Tugela river and is
marching on Ladysmith. On the con-
trary, according to the information Of
the war Office at the present moment,
there is every indication that things
are quiet at the front and that no i'm
mediate movement is anticipated.
Regarding the dispatches from Lady
smith saying that Butler guns have
been heard, it is surmised that some
practice may have been going on with
the new batteries which have just
reached the front.
Relieves That Battle Is Ore
London, Feb. 6.--The war office
statement that it has received no con-
flrmation of the report that Gen. Bull
Ter has recrossed the Tugela river has
failed to shake public belief that OPP
erations of tremendous importance are
proceeding at the Tugela, and it is
thought that either the denial was
| prompted by a desire to keep the
military movements as secret as pos
sible until something is accomplished
or that Gen. Butler is keeping the
home officials in the dark pending re-
suits.
1t is obviously extremely difficult TO
extract the truth from the conflicting
statements shroudng General Buffers
movement, but most of the commenta-
tors agree that the aggregate of the
! items tends to confirm the belief that
movements of importance are in pro-
gress. It is true that the correspond
ents at General Buffers headquarters
convey the impression that his main
/ force is still south Of the Tugela, but 1t
| is easily conceivable that the dis
patches are so censored as to convey
false impression. Possibly, though
| u1ltu Dilhludy anu Dullhelys NhN Viz
patches were in reality written prior
to the movements reported to have
commenced Friday. This has already
| happened on various occasions, dis
| patches being detained by the censor
and re-datcd when actually released
Whatever may be the actual situa-
! ton, there seems no doubt that Cen
eral Buffers preparations for fresh
attempt to relieve Ladysmith were
completed Thursday or Friday, and
though the start was possibly deferred
from the date first selected it will not
be long before it is definitely known
that General Buffers forces are again
fighting their way toward Ladysmith
Those, however, who expect Butler to
reach the beleagured town tonight
seem to have forgotten the presence
Of the Beers. The best Informed peo-
pie, while sanguine, fully realize that 4
British victory can be achieved only
at a heavy cost.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-Commandant Al

regarding the deadly effect of modern
artillery. He says
Day before yesterday we battered
Butler and scarcely fired a single shell.
What the British use are not worthy

fired by the British not ten exploded.

Commandant Albrecht admits that

expected. He says they fred 100 shells

British Forces Said to Have Again

STORY IS NOT CONFIRMED.


London, Feb. Ga dispatch to the
Central News, dated Durham, Feb. 4,
p. m, says that Gen. Butler has re-
crossed the Tugcla river, and is march
ing on Ladysmith.
Exactly where he has crossed is not
known, but it is known that on Friday
night he considered the probability OF
crossing at a spot above richards
drift, and then going to Acton Homes,
from which place Ladysmith lies al
most due east. The country between
is fairly open.
Roberts Reports Mafeking Well
The war Office has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gen. Lord Rob-
erts:
ported all we'll on Jan. II. The
trenches had been pushed out toward
the enemy's big-gun battery, causing it
to be vacated. The enemy has now
been pushed back on the northern,
southern and western side, well out of
rifle range. Otherwise the situation is
unchanged"
Nothing Known In London.
Beyond Gen. Lord Roberts dispatch
from Cape Town regarding the situa-
ton at Mafcking, the war office has
issued no information concerning the
progress OF affairs in South Africa.
Interest is entirely centered in Gen.
Buffers movements, Of which the
correspondents send practically no
news of Importance, except the Central
News dispatch from Durham, stating
that the British are again across the
Tugela river and marching to the re-
lief of Ladysmith.
This dispatch. though its assertions
are made definitely and without re-
serve, receives little credit. Other dis
patches not only do not corroborate it,
but indicate that up to Sunday night
Gen. Butler had not moved from Spear

oeVll has sealed their lips These people
may also be found in the church as
well as outside of it,
Two more spirits mentioned as being in
TINS TINS boy were foul and unelean spirits
mere are people in the world TODAY who
zen 10 oe under the complete control
VI these spirits. Their thoughts are foul
and unelean, their words and foul ana
unclean, and their acts are the same.
Mr.. Smith then spoke of the father who
was greatly burdened for his son and he
succeeded in having the boy cured. He
mentioned three things. First, the father
suffered with his son; he loved him so
Wen That whenever the poor fellow was
thrown into CONFUSION it hurt the faith
er worse than it did the boy. True
christian fathers to-day, said Mr.. Smith
surfer when their sons go astray and
suffer the consequences of their sin Then
the father desired that his son might he
cured. He longed for the time when his
boy might so about we'll and strong as
other boys.
The true Christian father TODAY de-
sires that his boy should be set free from
sin and its power. This desire should
come from the very bottom of a man S
heart and be so great that the tears
would start when he thinks of him.
And lastly he did all he could for his
child. Perhaps he had consulted all the
uoclors OF MS day and hearing of the
great power of Jesus, he brought his
son to Him, saying "if thou canst do any
thing, have mercy on us, and help u.s.
Jesus turned upon him like a fash and
said IF thou canst believe all things are
possible to him that believth." My doing
will depend upon your believing.
Mr., Smith said, in closing, that two
great truths were brought out in this
dialogue, the omnipotence of faith, the
man who believes can do all things and
Vicarious faith. The father must believe
Tor the son. The poor boy was deaf and
dumb, and in a convulsion then, and
could not believe for himself
The father believed and his boy was
cured, and he went home happy man.

The text was from Deuteronomy. S21t:

From this subject and this text Mr. An

humanity. Even as the mother eagle, am

taught to bear themselves well and play
well their part, strs up the next so that

Father visit his children with affliction,
that they turn from a slothful and selfish
and self-centered life and, aroused to their
own needs, strive to make of themselves
better and stronger and wiser men and
women.
And as the mother eagle, after her
young have left the nest and as they are
making their awkward efforts to cleave
the air with their wings, hovers over
them, strives to teach them, protects
them from falling and bears them aloft
on her own sturdy pinions, so does the
Father seek by precept by the glorious
example of the Son and by the example
set by good men and women of to-day,

Mr.. Anthony, without the Biblical teach

when the faithful and devout Christian

A man had brought his demoniac son to
the disciples. They could not cure him end
when Jesus appeared He found the multi
tude deriding the disciples. The pcor boy
was an epileptic. The various accounts
in the gospels speak of him as having fits,
wallowing, foamng at the mouth, gnash-
ing his teeth, falling into the fire and wa
ter. The scriptures say he was under the
direct possession of spirits, in the power
of the devil.
Mr.. Smith said he believed that there are
men under the direct control of evil spirits
to-day. The names of some of the spirits
are given. One was deaf spirit Some
men seem to be completely under his con-
trol. They are deaf to the
voice of God as He speaks

people, and the conscience They will
