HfS|TATES TO ACT
Buffers Plan Matured, But He
Dares Not Move.
BofRS TOO wAIdifUl FOR BRITISH


General Buller's great turning move.
ment. of which 80 much had been cy-
pected. has come to a staudstill. His
carefully worded message to the Lon
Ion war office telling this. after a ST.
lcnce Of two days, reads Ike an apol-
ogy and an explanation.
General Warren holds the ridges,
hut the encmy's positions are higher.
The British artillery is play ing on the
Bocr positions and the Boers are re-
plying. The British infantry is scpar-
,ted by only i.ioo yards from the m
my. but an approach to the steep
slopes. across the rare open, would ex-
pose the British to "a fatai rifle fire.
General Buffers plans have reached
their development. lie declines to
send his infantry across this zone
against formidable positions by day
light. and discloses his purposes to as
,ault the Spion kop heights during the
night. This appears to be the key to
the Boer defcnses. II he takes it and
thus commands tine adjacent country,
an important and possibly IA decisive
step will he accomplished.
IL seems that General Buffers dis
patch reached the war Office rather
Early in the night, and WAS the sub
jcct of a prolonged conference be-
tween Lord Lansdowne. Mr.. Balfour
and several staff officials. A determi-
nation appears To have been reached
not to give out the message during the
night. but toward ? p. IN. copies of the
dispatch were made for distribution
among the newspaper offices. These
arrived too late for extended comment.
The following dispatch from General
Butler. dated ut Spearman's Camp, Jan
nary ., $3.50 p. M, has just been posted;
Warren holds the position he gained
two days ago. In front of him, at
about 400 yards. is the cnemy's posi-
Ton, west of Spion's kop. II is OIL
h!gher ground than Warren's position,
70 it is impossible to see into it prop
sriy.
"ltNcan be approached onlyover bare
open slopes and the ridges held by
Warren are so steep that guns cannot
be placed on them. But we are shell
ing the enemy's positions with howitz-
srs and field artillery. placed on lower
ground, behind infantry.
THE enemy is replying with Creoso,
and other artillery, In this duel the
advantage rests with us, as we appear
TO be searching his trenches, and his
artillery fire il not causing us much
loss.
An attempt will be made tonight
% seize Spion's kop, the salient OF
which forms the left of the enemy's
position facing richards drift, and
which divides it from the position fac.
ing Potgieter's drift. II has consid'
cradle command over all the enemy's
entertainments"
There are rumors both in London
and Berlin that Butler has suffered "a
very serious reverse. The rumors have
not been confirmed. London papers
touch lightly upon the unpleasant fea.
lures of the dispatch. and take hope
from the projected night attack. but
all things considered, the dispatch
looks like IA preparation for worse
news. A complete Boer victory is halt
expected.
