CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-John Barrett, ex-
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time publicly named Senator Hoar
at Lake Forest university - the United
States senator whose anti.expansion
speech was cabled to Hong Kong and
subsequently put into tho hands Of the
Filipino soldiers, causing, as Mr.. Bar
rett believed, the open insurrection. It
appeared further from the ex.minister's 3
speech that the government has dis
covered privately the stages by which
the anti-expansion address reached
Luzon.
In the course of his address, which
was on the general subject of the
Philippines, the speaker said it had
been discovered in tho government in
vestigstion that Senator Hoar's speech
was cabled in cipher and in fragments
to Paris where it was put together and
forwarded to Hong Kong. The message
included several thousand words and
the cost for transmission was said to
have been $4,00O.e It interested tho

"Four days after that speech :, had
been delivered it was in the hands of
those who saw an opportunity to make

published and distributed among the
soldiers and believe it was the culmi-
mating influence that brought about
the open insurrection. This speech, you
must remember, was delivered before
there was an open insurrection."

General Warren Moves From

Evacuated.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Lord Roberts on
igmstical announcement. mo change
in the situation" does nothing to allay
public anxiety or to explain tho silence
surrounding Buller's movements on
the Tugela, although there is DISPOSE
ton to regard the dispatch as disposing
of Saturdays adverse rumor, the week
has opened in q state Of suspense al
most equal to that of last week, because
it is recognised that failure in General
Buffers present attempt would seal the
fate of Ladysmith.s
Presumably mo change in the situa-
ton" refers to previous dispatches sent
to the war Office which have not yet
been revealed to the public. Except
the announcement Of the seizure of
Potgeiter's drift and of the advance Of
General Warren. there has been no
news from the Tugela for q week. A
ray Of hope is in the fact that the same
silence prevails from the Boer side. Z.
Has Not Met Serious Chsok.
Thus, it may, perhaps, be fairly in
ferred that General Butler has not yet
met serious check.
If tho announcement of General War
ren's movement be correct, it is evident
thst General Buffers forces are spread
over . very wide front-perhsps %
miles-and in the event of q sudden fall
ro4sths. .riyer. hiss !, operations mig ssbs
full 81 danger. II is believed that Cen
eral Butler has no good survey maps ot
the district. This will add to his diff
,culties. :, :. a.,
Sir Charles Warren's advance prob
ably means an attempt to seize Hang
wan hill, the main post of the Beers
south Of the Tugela. Upon tho success
or failure of these operations depends
the whole future of the campaign. Un'
til the result is known, Lord Roberts
will be unable to decide how to dispose
of the two divisions and the reinforce
ments now arriving. The news from
other points is of no great Importance.
