LONDON, Jan. 25.-4:1O p. MAS the
afternoon progressed, the excitement on
Pail Mall reached a high pitch. But
the war Office officials reiterated at $50
p. NJ, the. oft-repeated statement that
nothing had been received from Cen
Buller.'' The suspense was increased
by the belief that General Butler would
never have published his intention to
attack the Beers on Spion kop, unless
satisfied that the assault would be car
ried out before the news could be pub
ished, and it was fully anticipated that
the news Of his success or failure would
reach London in a. few hours at the
most. i.Ef| '+'as *.s< ..
The cabinet ministers called at the
war Office, after lunch, to ask for news.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-2:4O p. m.-The ex-
IRENE tension caused by what may justly
be designated the most anxious pause
since the war began had not been re-
ieved up to the time of writing, by any:
thing save the Stock Exchange rumor,
which, this time happens to have been
started by the bulls, who assert General
Warren has captured Spion kop. Anx-
iety in regard to news is visible on al
side. The war Office was besieged at an
early hour and the clubs and other re-.
sorts liable to receive early news have
been crowded with eager inquirers: yet"
1t is generally recognized that the
Boer position, if ever taken, can only Be
at a tremendous cost.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Tues
day, Jan. %, somewhat amplifies the
dispatch of Monday, Jam %, from tie
Boer Head Lager, cabled to the ,Asso.

1t says: -Four or FIVE times during tue
day, the British replaced their weariM
soldiers by fresh ones. The Beer cas-.
ualties to date are one man killed and
two Ten slightly injured. Our men are
in excellent spirits. There is q Large
slaughter of the British.
The same dispatch, apparently refer
ring to the situation at Colenso, says,
One of the large Boer Maxims was tenn:
porarily disordered, but was soon re.
paired
The British northern camp is in con
fusion. People are observed trekkine
aimlessly in all directions. 4.
The American Attitude.
Commenting on Captain Mahan's at.
titude, the St. James Gazette remarks:
Hills advice is good and needed in
America. While strict neutrality is
maintained in the official world and
good will for England it felt by the bet.
ter-infor1ned, it is simply misleading the
public Of this country to suggest, az
some correspondents are doing, that an.
tagonism to England is confined to a
negligible body of Americans. The sym.
pathy of America as whole, as a matter
Of fact, is no more with England at this
moment, than was our popular sym.
pathy with them at the outbreak of the
war with Spain, and the contrast of Of.
fetal and popular attitudes is no less
marked in the United States than it is
in Ger1nany.'' - .

soon come when the 5000 600 Methodists

and who could not be influenced by parti-
sanship or politics. DR., Watt thinks he
wasa member Of the greatest general
conference since Methodism was institute
