Attorneys for the Goebel election board
went before Judge Hazellrigg. OF the
court of appeals this morning and applied
for reinstatement Of the injunction granted
and dissolved by Judge Cantrill against

Judge Hazellrigg said he had notified
the attorneys that he viii hear argument
in the case at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The Republicans were not notified
that the argument would be heard tomor-
row, and hence do not feel that they have

Taylor will Immediately call them out and
keep peace if possible The GoebeI men
are madder than ever this morning because

II develops that many members Of the

LONTON. Jan. 10.-Sir Charles Warren
and his Fifth Division of 10000 in South

respondents know. Sir Charles and his
troops have not been heard from in ten
days
They Joined Butler at Frere Camp sew

Of this big reinforcement.
The silence concerning Sir Charles and
his men. together with certain Significant
hints gathered here and there. leads many
10 believe that he is executing an impor-
tant flank movement westward against the
Beers in front Of Butler.
Aside from the silence about Warren
military experts say the following points
indicate that a flank movement has been
undertaken: The lmpregnability Of the Boer
position makes a frontal attack by Butler
hopeless. Hence he must try other tao
tics.
In his last despatch regarding the La
dysmith assault Butler said he had sent
his entire available force out on the re-
COnnoissance. and none Of Warren troops
were in the list. so the latter mrst be
somewhere else. The Beers are already
fortifying Springfield. on the TGgela River,
westward Of Colenso, indicating that to be
Warren's direction. All signs point to an
attempt to send a strong force TO make a
circuitous march in the hope Of relieving
Ladysmith from the aest.
