SITUATION REVIEWED.
LONDON, Jan. 2s.-Mr- Spencer w lthiii-
son, whose articles on the war s sltusitio,
have attracted much attention here ana
abroad wrote tie following review OF
The situation Mt midnight ard after the
War Office had given out telegram
from Lord Roberts, dated at cape Town,
Saturday, saying there was no change III
the situations:
..The affair of Spion Kop appears very
much like reverse at the decisive point
Of the decisive battle. According to Gem
eral Buffers telegram, General warren
determined to take the hill because 1t
commanded the enemy's other positions
Having taken it Tuesday night. he aoail-
doned it Wednesday night, presumaotS
because he was unable to hold 1t.
The published words of General Bul-
ler's telegram have the tone IN Whlch a
reverse is announced. Whether the mis-
hap can be made sood 1T Is Impossible 70
say
"a general attacking has. to some ex-
tent, the power of making his own de-
cisiye point General Warren may yet
best the enemy by success at some other
point or he may retake Spion kop and
keep it. but unless in. one way or another
the battle now going on can be Won,
there is no probability OF Laoysmith pc
ing relieved
RETREAT DIFFICULT.
General EulIer's army, unless sue
ceSsful, will be in 4 critical position. ICE
its retreat would be a difficult operation.
The main Boer force is as near to any
point on the railway as IS General War
ren's wing of Buffers army, and the
Beers have the advantage of speed. For
this reason. as we'll as because OF the
Importance of his purpose to relieVe Cen
eral White. we may expect General But
ler to do his very utmost before giving
up the attempt, and In this necessity lies
the best hope of success.
''The American civil war showed now
rif.ed firearms, by rendering assault
difficult produced battles lasting several
days, and as since then the range and
rate of fire have been greatly increased
the prolongation of the duration OF pax
ties was to be expected. But without
a fuller knowledge than the telegranis
as yet afford. it is not possible clearly
to interpret the episodes of the unfinish-
ed fight.
.'I,he report from Boer sources that
Mafeking has been relieved IS credible,
for Colonel Pluner has been persistertly
working in that direction. and there has
been time since he was last heard Of
rob fnr him n ftfa
intervening distance. Moreover. the Beers
have wisely been concentrating their
forces at more decisive points. but it
requires confirmation
