WAS NOT A DISASTER.

New York, Jan. 31.-Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill has cabled, and the Ev-
ening World copyrighted, an account
Of the battle Of Spion kop. The dis
patch which is dated Spearman's
Camp. Jan. u, says the fight on the
summit of the kop was n of the
fercest and most furious conflicts in
British military history.
Guided by T~hornycroft, the troops
surprised the Beers there and carried
the trenches with the bayonet at
o'clock in the morning. There was lit.
tie loss.
At once the troops entrenched hasti.

Whitaker, who was suspected of hav-
ing shot Senator Goebel, and who was
brought here last night from Frank
fort, was somewhat nervous today as
a result of the excitement, but he still
persists in asserting his innocence and
said he had no fear of the outcome Of
his trial,

said, and never thought of doing so.
I was there simply as a friend Of Tay-
lor to see. with the others, that he had
justice done him.

when We heard the shots fred. Two
other men were there and they were
talking about insurance. One Of them
had a brown beard, and IL they will,

not afraid, for l know l am innocent,
and that when the Ease comes up l will

against me is that 1 had the pistols,

is a prisoner of the county Jail. At an
early hour this morning at the Victoria
hotel Sutton went up to the Office Of
the clerk. brandishing two revolvers.
II am the man who shot Goebel," he
said, land l will never be taken alive"
The hotel manager promptly sent for
the police and on the appearance Of
the latter Sutton ran up stairs to the
third story. and when he thought he
vas about to be captured opened a win
dow and leaped out. He alighted on his
feet, vas uninjured and ran nearly a
mile before he was arrested. The po-
lice believe that Sutton is either de-
cidedly unbalanced mentally, or that
he knows who shot Goebel. An effort
to interview him after he was lodged
in Jail proved unsuccessful. He lay in
a dark corner of his cell and refused
to say a word.

gun on the hill and attacking with the
greatest spirit. The British artillery
was unable TO cope with the superior
long range Boer guns and during the
afternoon it became evident the infan-
try could not endure another day. 1t
was impossible to drag guns to the
summit of Spion's kop without elabo-
rate preparations, or to fortify the hill
strongly enough to protect the de-
tenders from unassailed artillery.
Thornycroft's decision to abandon it
was both wise and necessary. The
British troops were stubborn and form
liable and marched back to the camps
in regular order. Every effort is now
being made to succor the wounded, of
whom many still lie on the summit.
The official list will give the losses.
The defense of the hill by the English
infantry, particularly the Lancashire
regiments. was a glorious episode. The
whole army is proud of it. The Boer
positions before Ladysmith are perhaps
i~mpregnable to $4,000 men, but the
troops are resolved to have another
try.
The public must initiate the equa-
nimity of the troops. Spion kop is not
a disaster.

Ladysmith, Jan. 2S.-(Heliographed
to Swartzkop, e the Tugela riv-
er.)-The news of the ~prolongation OF
the siege, resulting from General Bull
ler's failure, is received with fortitude.
We can hold on. The garrison is
healthier. CHEEKY and confident. Dis
ease is disappearing and there is no
horse sickness. The rains give plenty
of grass. We can hear General Buffers
guns still working and it is rumored in
camp that he is advancing along an
other line. The Boer laagers around
are again full of men, who have re-
turned from the upper Tugela. The
Beers have also taken up a new posi-
ton IN the hills near Colenso, where
they are in great force. Reinforce
ments are apparently arriving from the
Transvaal. Large bodies of Beers are
also visible between here and Potgie-
ter's drift.

There was a small riot at the deten-
ton camp at Honolulu on the night Of
the 22d, owing to the refusal Of the
authorities to allow the Japs to burn
a lot of new lumber for fuel purposes
and because they were restrained from
burning a new cottage in which one Of
their number had died Of the plague.

trouble though a careful watch is be-

sullen and some have armed themselves

telegraDhs from Spearman's camp I'M
der today's date that Colonel Thorny-
croft was the officer who ordered the
retirement from Spion kop. General
Butler adds: p
1T is due to him to say that l believe
his personal gallantry saved a difficult
situation early January "a. and that
under a loss of at least 40 per cent he
directed the defense with conspicuous
courage and ability throughout the day

applying 1t a shot took of his arm;
it hung by a small piece Of skin. The

McMlLLEN, HUMORiST.

The Hon. o. l.. McMillen. in addi-
tlon to being chief law-glver for the
esteemed Board of City Commission
ers, is rapidly making his mark as a
humorist.
Last night Commissioner McNIillen
stood up in the Council chamber and
told the Council that there is no pol
itics In the Board of Commissioners"
that "the Board conducts all Of its af-
fairs in q purely non-partisan man.
ner;" and that when assessors are ap.
pointed they are appointed wholly with
regard to their personal qualifications"
politics having nothing to do with it.
This is funnier even than the cele-
brated code of eplgrams promulgated
by Mr.. McMillen for the regulation Of
the automobile, one of which says:
"Above all, never go where you do
not have to-"
or course there was no politics in
the turning down of Assessor Stewart
Miller, of the Second ward, whom Au-
ditor Sisler testified to being the best
qualified assessor in the county; the
man whom all other assessors have
taken as their model.
Nor was there any politics in the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Amer, from the
Fourth ward, who was selected, to the
exclusion of good Republicans, be-
cause he had been treacherous to the
Democratic party.
