Spencer wilLinson's Appeal.

London, Feb. 1.-Spencer Wilkin-
son, in the Morning Post, yesterday
discussing the military situation
takes it for granted that Gen. Butler
intends to make another attempt to
relieve Ladysmith. He seizes the oc-
casion to express the greatest admit
ration for the dauntless spirit OF the
British army and regret that the
main thing is lacking, namely, proper
leadership. He says: THE whoie
manhood of the nation is moved by
the same spirit as stirs the troops on
the Tugela. Cannot the government
pluck up heart to lead like men a na-
ton of men, to drop the past and TO
plan on q proper scale, arming the
empire for whatever struggle may be
In store?"

Ssh Loss of the War.

London, Feb. 1.-The supplemental
lists of casualties fill two columns in
nonpareil type in the morning papers,
making 1900 reported thus far for
Gen. Buffers operations north Of the
Tugela. The Daily Chronicle esti-
mates that the total exceeds 1000.
The 40 per cent. loss at Spion kop Is
greater than any British force ever
suffered, except possibly ut Albuera,
Spain, in 1911.
The admiralty hns warned all half
nav naval officers to hold themselves
in readiness for service. This, with
the fact that able seamen not thor
oughly experienced have been with
drawn from the channel squadron, Is
taken to indicate the carly mobiliza-
ton of the reserve fleet.

London, Feb. 1.-The latest advices
from Ladysmith showing the exist
cnce of better conditions there than
generally believed to be the case have
been received with intense satisfac-
ton, though there is no unreasoning
over-confidence, rs may he judged
from the Pail Mall Gazette's remark:
"Let us, while preparing for the
worst, hope for the best" The posi-
bility of Gen. Butler making another
dash appears to depend greatly on the
exact position Of Gen. Lyttleton's
brigade. Beyond the understanding
that Il is on the north side OF the
Tugela river, everything is a matter
of supposition. 1t will easily be seen
that il Gen. Lyttleton still holds the
drifts on the north side Gen. Butler
retains the openings and might at
tempt another advance by way Of
Potgieter's or some neighboring drift

placed under arrest more because no
was caught around the capitol build
ing when the shots were fired than
for any other apparent reason. He
denies in the most positive manner
that he had any connection with the
shooting or knew anything about 1t.
Senator Goebcl was wounded by
rifle bah OF small calibre, not over
3s, which struck him in the right
side Just below the armpit. The ball
passed through the back part Of the
right lung, across the body on di.
agonal line, passing out below the
left shoulder blade.
AS the shot was heard. Goebel gave
q quick, involuntary exclamation Of
pain and made IN effort to draw his
revolver. His strength was unable
to the task, however, and he sank
upon the pavement. With great RI.
pidity several more shots were fired,
the bullets all striking the brick
sidewalk close to where Goebel lay.
None of them touched him, however.
That the shooting of Mr.. Goebel
was the result of carcfully-laid plan
Is without question. The man who
did the work had evidently taken his
stand ut the window which had previ.
ously been raised in order to allow
the free passage of the bullet. and
waited until his victim was in full
sight before firing. Ever since the
influx Of mountaineers last week q
large number of them have been
sleeping in upper part Of the state
house. 1t Is not known, however,
that any OF these men did the work,
or that they had any knowledge Of
the premeditated crime. There has
not, SO far, been discovered the slight
est direct evidence pointing to any
man and IL is not likely now that my
will ever be found. The republican
state officials and members Of leg
islaturc, without exception, denounced
the shooting in the most unmeasured
terms. Gov. Taylor imediately caused
O small address to be published In
which he declared the affair to be a
disgrace and an outrage and calling
for the most sober condemnation.

The st. Petersburgh correspondent t
of the Telegraph reasserts that Russia
has annexed Manchuria. He says
that no official denials or disavowals
of Russia's desire for territorial a"qui-

already accomplished. The Times
St. Petersburg correspondent deals
lengthily with the same subject, con-
tending that the matter is in the hands
of the military leaders, who will apply
the recent orders for the demobiliza-
ton of the troops and their Withdrawal
only when they see tit. He says that
these orders are qualified by reserva-

whatever may be said in official dis

ton and will continue virtually so in
