BRITAIN's PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.



LONDON. Feb. 11.-Spencer Wilkinson.
the military expert. reviewing the South
African situation for the Associated Press
at midnight, says:
Lord Roberts has now taken hold OF the
campaign. His strategy evidently is to act
In the western theater of war with energy
enough 10 move the center of gravity
sthither. General Buffers move must, there
fore, be considered in it's place in a general
scheme. The idea seems to be that if Gem
Butler cannot skin the bear himself, he
can hold its legs while some one else does
Accordingly, General Butler is not to risk
his army. but. short of that, is to give the
Beers as much TO do in Natal as he can
His attack OF the past week was hardly
carried out with the push that marks a
man resolved to win or be broken In any
case. it is no easy task to cross river in
order TO pierce the front of the enemy post
ed beyond it. Modern weapons favor an
attack which envelopes a flank, but not an
attack which tries TO break the center of
an army.
The new plan involves prompt and sue
cessful offensive operations against the
Free State forces in the west-a series Of
crushing blows. Any failure in their exc
cution would leave the campaign in a
perjlous state, for the Beers would then
hold on to Ladysmith. which nothing but
disasters in the west and the certainty of
more to follow will make them let CO. But
Lord Roberts is a strong man, with a big
heart, a resoIute will and a clear head.
His presence with a British army has a
magnetic effect; and when he moves he
will probably make the Beers move. He
has reinforced Methuen with a cavalry bril-
gade and horse artillery. and there is prob
ably an infantry division to follow.
Looking at General Buffers action by
itself. the impression it makes recalls Gen.
Mcclellan, who. though cautious and
knowing how TO preserve his army hardly
ever displayed the initiative power to run
risks and the self-reIiance Of a great COM
mander. To all appearance General Butler

The intelligence vas quickly circulated, but

Iuent This was soon dispelied, however,
bv a telegram from Adjutant General
Collier to Captain Powers, or the Bar

WRECK Of FREIGHT TRAIN
ON SPOKANE AND NORTHERN
Near Town of Drngoon-One Man
KILLED aud Several Wounded-One
Freight Car Had Fourteen -FOUR
lists in 1t.

Spokane, Nov. ia fatal wreck oc-
Cured on the Spokane Falls & North.
ern railway at p. m. Sunday, two
miles south of Dragon station. One
man was killed ana two others sus-
tanned serious injuries.
The train was the regular south
bound freight. 1t consisted of eight
cars. and caboose. When at the point
where the tragedy occurred the rails
spread because of the action of snow
and rain under the ties and four cars
were thrown from the track down d
rather steep grade. The engine and
tender were left on top of the grade
also the remaining four cars of the
train and the caboose.
The four cars which were wrecked
were loaded with sacked lime In one
of the cars II men were stealing rides
One of these men, John Klein, was
caught beneath pile of wreckage and
crushed to death. Several others were
pinned down by timbers. Patrick
Welch and Richard Hooking were drag
ged out later by the trainmen who had
his back and shoulders were severely
bruised and cut. Hocking's right arm
was broken In two places. Both men
were unconscious when found by the
trainmen and were nearly suffocated
under bursted sacks of lime.
How the other occupants of the cal
escaped serious injuries is a matter Of
speculation. They were imprisoned in
the overturned car and when the door
was finally opened by the trainmen the
! men left the scene at once, apparently
not caring what became of their wound
ed companions.
From letters and papers found on the
person Of the dead man it became
known that the mans name was Johr
Klein. Apparently he came to Wash
, ington from Indianapolis, Ind, recent
ly, as a letter from his brother, Fred
Klein, is dated at Indianapolis, Sep
TENDER q. In the letter some refer
ence is made to the opening of the Col
vile reservation. This, together with
a copy of the proclamation concerning
the opening, seems to establish the fac
that John Klein came to the state in
tending to take up land on the reserve
The deceased was about 80 years Of
age. He was of medium height and
ewighs about 10 pounds. He had rec
hair and a red beard. In his pockets
were a gold watch and some money.
