Approach Of Gen. Babingtons

LONDON, Feb. II, 4:lo q. m.-The War
Office still maintains silence regarding the
situation at the seat of war, announcing
at 1870 last evening that no further news
had been received, and none has come from
other sources which would give a clew TO
General Buffers movements since he re-
crossed the Tugela or to the present posi-'
tions of the forces.
A special dispatch from Springfield
bridge under date OF Feb. 9. gives a new
explanation OF General Buffers retirement.
According to this dispatch balloonist on
Wednesday discovered the fact that the
Beers had developed extraordinary and un-
expected artillery strength on Doormkloof.
to the British right, where they had man.
aged to draw up a dozen heavy guns. some
fitted with disappearing carriages and all
cunningly masked. These. but for the ball
ioonist, would never have been discovered
I'm time to save the British from falling
into the deadly trap as they commanded
the road the British would have to take In
order 20 reach Ladysmith. These guns
rendered the actual positions Of the Brit.
ish untenable and a further advance i'm.
possible except at the cost Of a terrible and
useless loss OF life.

CLEANED from the highest sources and is
based on unimpeachable authority.
The abrogation Of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty is the source of copious comment in
the weeklies. The Saturday Review cavils
at Great Britain for giving up, maintain
ing that nothing will ever be got from the
United States I'm return, and saying Great
Britain's magnanimity will be mistaken by
Congress for desire to avoid complica-
tions on account of the troubles in South
Africa. Because the Americans speak En-

The Speaker on the other hand says:
Certainly 1t is not in our interest to avail
ourselves of diplomatic technicalities in
order to prevent a result which Is newt

Lord Salisbury in declaring the United
States intends to "forestall a European

stalling is not Objectionable, provided there
is no attempt to thrust American rule on
unwilling peoples and the doctrine of equal
trading rights is fully maintained
All the papers unite in declaring Secre-

BULLER's RETIREMENT.
Details of the Withdrawal OF the
British Across the Tugela.

Details of the Withdrawal Of the
British Across the Tugela.
LONDON, Feb. u.-Latest dispatches
from Natal indicate that General Butler
found the Boer position north of the Tugela
too strong to be taken and that he retired
to the south bank of the river In order 70
save his army from great loss.
The correspondent OF the Times with Bull
ler's army. in a dispatch dated Springfield
Bridge, Feb. 8, says: 'Our force at Wall
krantz intrenched itself as well as possible
but, nevertheless, we continued to lose men
and no advance was made The Boer artil-
lery fired necessarily and as Wednesday
proceeded it was increasingly apparent that
although the infantry might by a very de-
termined assault, force its way through the
center of the Boer position. Ii would be-
come impossible during subsequent opera
tions to maintain the security of the lines
of communication and the evacuation was
decided on. The retirement commenced at
Q o'clock at night. the pcntoon bridge being
reached just after General Hilyard's forces
had crossed this morning The whole force
retired beyond the range OF the Boer guns
which continued shelling."
Another dispatch, dated "Headquarters
Camp, Springfield Bridge, Feb. 81 says:
..The position taken north OF the Tugela
river proved a difficult one to maintain The
regiments sent across as reinforcements
went into the front line Of trenches. but
ewing 10 the great strength of the Beers
in the Brakfontein hills TO the left. IL was
found impossible to advance without risk
ing unnecessary loss. The Beers continued
sheliing the British position Several Long
Tom shells fell among the transport trains
and four burst on Zivaat kop. but the Beers
could not get the range. The British guns
posted there failed TO silence the Long
Tom or other masked guns. The Beers
continued to work the Nordenfeldts on the
British infantry intrenched on the hill. The
fire was severe at times. Wednesday after
noon General Butler resolved not TO press
the advance by this route. The transport
train moved back and the infantry retired
from vaalkrantz Wednesday night the
guns on the Zwart kop replied to the Beers
shelling. When they commenced to shell
the transport train the Beers got large
number Of cannon into position. Their SUI
periority OF shell fire rendered the advance
impossible"
Tho foregoing Is the first definite state
ment that Butler IL once more south OF the
Tugela river. The news, however. by no
means causes the acute disappointment at
tendant upon the other failures to relieve
Ladysmith. This can be attributed to three
causes First there Is a strong belief that

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
Murder Of Mrs. Kate Adams, fol
which Molineux Was Tried

NEW YORK. Feb. 1o.-Mrs. Kate ].
Adams was murdered on the morning Of
Dec. IS, 1898. through taking. to relieve a
headache. bromo-seltzer which contained
mercuric cyanide. The poison had been
sent to Harry Cornish. athletic director Of
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. who lived
with Mrs. Adams. as Christmas present
Mrs. Adams was fifty years Of age and
came from a well-known family OF Hart
ford, Conn. Her daughter, Florence. who
was witness at the inquest. is the wife
of Edward Rogers. an insurance agent
Mrs. Rogers lived apart from her husband.
Harry Cornish has a divorced wife living

police had as clews to the probable MUIR

we are content to follow his leadership
after that refusal"
After the adjournment OF the meeting. 1t
was the opinion OF the Republicans that
the gubernatorial contest was practically
over. They understood the action of to-
day to mean, and it was intended to mean.
that the matter should now be fought out
before the courts and the issue there
reached to be accepted as final. There was
no intention OF asking that a new vote
should be taken on the Goebel-Taylor con-
test, but Governor Taylor stated to several
prominent Republicans that he would ask
that any former action be ratified by 4
vote Of both houses. taken coolly and with
out passion.
When informed of the action of the
Democratic Legislature at Louisville in re-
fusing to come to Frankfort, Governor
Taylor said: 1T strikes me ..iat their at
titude is somewhat inconsistent. They
claim they cannot be protected at Frank
fort and there is nobody here to rnolest
them. They objected to the presence of
troops at a time when there was far great
er excitement and danger than now. After
things have quieted down they refuse 10
return because they say they cannot be
guaranteed protection"
The action of Governor Taylor to-day re-
turns the gubernatorial fight to the exact
position it occupied on the day following
the Goebel assassination, with the addi-
tional complication that there was then
but one Legislature and one Governor in
fact, whereas there are now two claimants
for the position and two separate bodies,
each claiming to be the lawmaking power
Of Kentucky.

ALGER VS.. MILES.
Ex-Secretary Of War Pours
Out His Wrath.
Reviews the Old Story Of "EmbaImed
Beef" for the Army.
Calls Miles Everything But Gentleman and
Man OF Truth.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The North
American Review in its next issue will
contain an article on THE Food of the
Army During the Spanish War" by
Former Secretary of War Russell A.
Alger. The article says in part:
The commission appointed by the
President at my request to investigate
the conduct of the war department in
the war with Spain, met on the 24th
day of September, 1898. on the 21st
day of December, the major general
commanding the army of the United
States appeared before the commits
sion. then sitting in Washington and
made his statements with respect to
the canned. fresh and refrigerated beef
furnished to the army during the war.
Gen. Miles refused TO be sworn or af-
firmed. as every other Of the 495 wit
nesseS had been, declaring in sub
stance that he would make his state
ments without being sworn and was
responsible for what he said
Although the commission had been
sitting nearly three months, the charg-
es with respect to canned and refriger
ated beef We're now made for the first
time and. stranger and more inexcus-
able and more unsoldierly still, during
all those months. with this pretended
knowledge of facts which. if they ex-
listed. should have been known to the
secretary OF war, for the protection of
the army-Gen. Miles never mentioned
the subject. Nor did / ever hear a
rumor of chemically-treated beef be
ing purchased for the army until the
generals testimony was given before
the commission.
Not content with these grave and
scandalous charges, thus made public
for the first time before the war inves-
tigating commission, Gen. Miles per-
mitted himself to be interviewed on
the following day. at Cincinnati. Ohio,
when he made similar charges.
Upon Commissary General Charles
p. Eagdn the charges fell with the
suddenness and sharpness of u blow
from an assassin's knife out of the
dark. Gen. Eagan had been an officer
Of the regular army for 36 years. Gal

ing hazcd.
Cadet Elliott J. Dent fPennsylVanla'
