ing:
Il know whereof | speak when say

retary's removal. You will see that
when Web comes back he will resign

MORE CHEERFUL IN LONDON.
Belief that the BOers Have Gone to
Their Limit.

New York, Feb. 3.-There is a de-
cidedly more cheerful feeling in Lon
don. The confirmation of the report
that Gen. Butler had announced that
he would relieve Ladysmith, together
with the unconfirmed report that he
had actually begun new forward
mc' ement, had good effect on the
public mind. Figures just published
have had reassuring effect. The gov
er'ment announce es that it was ascer-
tained before the war began that the
Roers could put $4,000 men into the
tield. The British, in a few days, will
have 213,000 men in South Africa. Gen.
Joubert, according to late advices, has
19,OO0 men surrounding Ladysmith
and confronting Gen. Butler. In the
recent turning movement Gen. Butler
lost 1885 men, but the places are filed.
The Beers have no means of replacing
the lost men with fresh soldiers. Look
ing at the matter in this light, it is as
Inevitable that Joubert will be beaten

Mrs. Lawton was comforting her
young son Manly when Mrs. Logan ap

silence and suspense. Then the two
bereayed women, overcome by emo
ton, embraced and mingled their
tears Finally Mrs. Logan said:
My darling child, my woe is yours.
We have given that which we loved
best to our country. God is the Judge,
and before him we must bow and say:
Thy will be done.'"
Mrs. Lawton was unable to speak.
She was violently shaken by her grief,
and as the two women wept togther
their emotions proved too strong, and
they tainted simultaneously.
Capt. King and his orderly resusei-
tated them. Then entered Mrs. Sam
uel Culbertson, of Louisville, Mrs
Lawton's sister, and her husband, aud
Mss Fannie Craig. another sister, also
of Louisville.

battle of Colenso, and, while admitting
that there was an error of judgment,
ing either from rashness or incapacity.
He says Col. Longs internal injuries

British Numbers VIII Soon
Count,

London, Feb. 3, 4:1O.-Helograms
flashed from Ladysmith three days
ago saying that the Boer investment
lines then were thinning and that the
beaeigers were moving in force to-
ward the Tugela, indicating that a
collision was expected there. This in
telligence bears out other signs that
Gen. Butler purposes a fresh attack.
The war office continues to reveal
nothing of what has happened in Ma
tai. Without exception the military
critics regard with dismay the pros
pect of renewal of the assaults IN
less Gen. Butler has been heavily rein
forced; and there is nothing to indi-
cate that this is the case.
Lord Kitchener has been travelling
Colony, and Gen. French, by instruc-
tions, is now in Cape Town consulting
with Lord Roberts.
Large engineering constructions are
proceeding at Modder river, suggest
ing that Lord Methuens fortified camp
has been selected as the base from
which to invade the Free State. Nh
mcrous bridges, platforms and ware
houses are being built, and a perma-
nent railway bridge is well advanced.
German strategists assert that the
of the country would make
invasion easier from Kimberly and the
district northward' than from the more
rugged region of Sterkstroom or Coles
burg Therefore they infer that the
con bined British forces will over
whelm the Beers at Magersfontein aud
first relieve Kimberly as an incident of
the invasion.
