BULLER WILL FIGHT.
Spencer Wilkinson Reviews the Sit
nation In South Africa,

spencer WILKINSON ReS1eTVs the S1t-
nation In South Africa.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-Spencer Wilkinson
writes the following review Of the sitta-
tion In South Africa for the Associated
Press at midnight:
''It is morally impossible for Buffers
army, so long as there is any fight left
in 1t, to sit still while Sir George White
is invested at Ladysmith. Better than
that would be to lose 10000 men In an
attempt at relief Accordingly, ii is prob
able that Gen. Butler will try again, and
indeed he is now on the move or fight
ing.
with Gen. .Lyttleton's brigade on the
north side of the river, the extreme prob
ability is that his move will be an ad
vance on Lyttleton's right He would
hardly go to Lyttleton's left because
that would only lead to fresh attack of
Spion Kop and the range of which 1t
is a part. He would not go to the east
of Colenso, except with his whole force,
less Barton's brigade.
THE retention of Lyttleton's brigade at
Potgieter's Drift, may therefore be
taken as proof that the new move will
not be to the east of Colenso. West of
Potgleter's there are several drifts one
or two Of which Gen. Buffers guns COM
mand and he can therefore cross the
river but the Beers have had ample time
to prepare positions beyond the river.
"a frontal attack would, as usual, be
| costly but unless the general is prepar-
| ed for a heavy loss he has little chance
| of breaking through the Boer defenses:
! The right plan would be that adopted
| by Gen. Sherman after he pushed back
| Johnston from Chattanooga to Atlanta
| Sherman intrenched along Johnston's 8
! front, and then extended his line to one
| of his fianks By the time Sherman had
| time to move a force behind his intrench-
ed line to attack Johnston on the flank
| and threaten his retreat, the Confederate
| general withdrew. Such tactics are prac-
| tical only with a force numerically su-
! perior.. We do not know the strength
of the Beers in Natal: Winston Churchill
! estimates them at only 19 Q00 of whom
! 1900 are observing Ladysmith This would
| give Butler 25,00O against 12,000 and should
render possible something like Sherman NJ
maneuvers. But there is reason to be-
| lieve that Buffers own estimate of the
! Boer force is much higher.
Lord Roberts will certainly not hurry
his move from the Cape. He will first
complete the assembling of his forces,
which will not all have arrived for an
other three weeks Then he will have
transport properly organized, and in
working order before he will start After
that he will probably make a rapid move,
! OUT no outcry Will induce him to start
until he considers all is ready.
Last weeks report that Mafeking had
beer relieved seems to have arisen from
! CoE Piunaer's skirmish near Crocodile
| Pools The report comes from Boer
sources, and the origin OF the report
seems to show that the Beers are not
sangulne of success in the north. They
have probably reduced their forces in
that region in order to strengthen them
selves against Gen. Methuen and Gen.
Buller''

hill had seen the smoke caused by the
bursting shrapnel. Then we waited for
news-waited breathlessly for orders to
be given to the flying column composed
of the Devonshire and Manchester regi-
ments and the Gordon Highlanders, TO
leave camp to complete the devastation
which the Southern force had begun. Men
and women congratulated themselves in
the streets when they heard that one OF
our heavy guns had been sent to Wagon
hill to cover the movement of the flying
column; but the silence was prolonged,
though the hello Winked ceaselessly from
the hill tops, but rumor had its way and
stories were told OF splendid victory OF
deserving Beers, of fleeing Dutch and of
slaughtered burghers, but nothing from
headquarters.
Dec 16 was Dingaan's day, the an
niversary OF the Declaration of Independ-
ence of the South African republic by the
triumVirate in 1885, 1t was thought that
this would be q suitable day to crush
the power of the rebel state Day dawned
and with the advent Of the sun the big
gun on Bulwana opened spiteful fire.
Twenty-one rounds were fired into the
town. The Beers had remembered the
salute which We had fired on the Prince
CT Wales birthday Grimly on Dingaan's
day they returned the salute and we
found there were three fatal cases from
the fire. Still the garrison congratulat-
ed itself. This salute was but the song OF
the dying swan. In fit of bravado the
enemy had fired Into US before removing
the gun to escape from the Southern
forces. The story came into camp that
the Beers had sent a number of wounded
Dutch for treatment. Excitement ran
high, and a speculative photographer cir
culated a notice to the effect that, now
the siege was practically at an end, he
would be happy to take q mass group of
the civilians who had survived. But on
Saturday night sinister order appeared.
The batteries attached to the flying col
umn We're sent back to their position on
the line Of defense. On the morrow the
following general order was published to
the garrison:
The general officer commanding Ma
tai field force regrets to have to announce
that Gen. Sir Redvers Butler failed TO
make good his first attack on Colenso.
Reinforcements will not~therefore arrive
here as early as was expectd. Sir George
White is confident that the defense Of
Ladysmith will be continued by the gar
rlson in the same spirited manner as 1t
has hitherto been conducted until the
general officer commanding In chief in
South Africa does relieve it.
THE news was received with blank
dismay. The DISAPPOINTMENT was over
whelm1ng. Then as the situation began
to be studied calmly the tension was re-
lieNed.''

Dismny In Ladysmith at Defeat OF
Gen HulIer.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The~ papers here
published extracts from a remarkable
document emanating from the office or
the secretary of state at Pretoria. dated
Dec. l6. The document comprises 10. 600
words, and is countersigned by Secretary
of State Reitz 1t seems specially writ
ten for the American public. It says:
We to great extent depend on
America and Europe for our foodstuTs.
1t will be criminal on the part of the
great powers to suffer this little nation To
perish by famine, since the sword has
failed. Since In 1870 tie president Of the.
United States acknowledged our republic
as a sovereign state, Americans have
f1ocked here In numbers. In every In
stance the hand of fellowship has been
extended to them. Not single case OF
disagreement is on record, but with the
first war note of the Cypress we are
informed that America is acting In league
with the enemy. If our sister republic
has no sympathy with us; Ii the boasted
condescension of the British is to be
preferred to sincerity and truth, we will
no longer believe in the justice and In,
tegrity of the American nation and her
profession of Christianity we will con-
slider empty sound.
Secreary Reitz further says the Beers
have never abused the white flag, and
that the British. murdered women, chr.
dren and American subjects at Derd.

Witnesses as to Attempted Brtb-
cry to Fnjure Mr.. Clark's Case.
WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
gave almost the entire day to hearing
the testimony OF Ben Hill and L. L.
Wright in its investigation Of the charg-
es against Senator Clark, Of Montana
They were called by the defense. al
though they had come to Washington at
the instance Of the memoralists. Both
testified that they had been engaged to
make aff1daVits against Mr.. Clark, and
that they were paid for them. and that
the affldavits were false. Both had been
in Helena during the sitting of the legis-
lature, as Mr.. Clark's friends, and both
said their expenses had been paid there.
Hill claimed that Campbell and White
side had assisted him in debating his af-
fidavit, and that they knew statements
contained in 1t to be false.
These two witnesses agreed in state
ment that several witnesses, including
theselves, had agreed, after giving their
afI1davits, not to testify in the Welcome
more moneys, 600 apiece-hut Hill said
that Campbell had told him that he would
not dare pay him before he should go on
the stand, because of the use Clark would
make Of the fact If he should become ac-
quainted with It,
Mr. Campbell made a statement con-
tradicting the assertion made by Hill,
and also the statements made by Lyons
yesterday.
At the afternoon session OF the commit
tee Mr. Hill continued his testimony con-
cerning the dealings of himself Wright,
Minshall and Cowen with Congressman
Campbell and Mr.. Whiteside. He said
they had been paid various sums of
money at different times. Hill said he
had told Campbell at that time that
Governs affidavit was false. Among 9th
ers who bad given him money the wit
ness said was Mr. Tuolly, of Butte That
gentleman had given him $3.50 and ad-
vanced money for the success Of his COM
bination. Hill said that from his con-
versation with Campbell and Whiteside
he was satisfied Marcus Daily was put
ting up the money for the prosecution.
WhiteSide had said:
I'VE have no specific amount, but Mar
Gus Daily never limits u.s.
Hill said that Rector, one Of the wit
nesses for the prosecution, had told him
that he was to have $500 for coming to
Washington and that Rector had also
told him that his testimony was not true.
