The expression in the official dispatch

direction of the besieged town.

British, with naval and other guns,

great confusion.
The fighting continues at Molen drift

DISCUSSED THE TREATY.

Foreign Relations, Committee Considers
the Hay-Pauncefote Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations met to
consider the Nicaragua canal treaty.
The discussion was animated. While
some opposition was manifested, it was
not Of such a character as to indicate the
defeat Of the treaty; but that it would
be amended there seemed to be little
doubt. One Of the amendments pro-
posed is that the whole of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty shall be abrogated. It is
said by members of the committee fa-
voring this change that there is no need
OF keeping alive any portion of the old
treaty. Another change suggested is in
regard to the protection Of the canal.
The treaty declares there shall be no
Notifications and it is said this will pre-
vent the United States from erecting
batteries which are by some considered
absolutely necessary in view of the in
surrections that occur from time to time
in South American countries. tits DOS,
sible: that this language will be modified
So that such protection as the United
States deems necessary will be afforded
along the route Of the canal. -.

WANTED MORE TROOPS.

Reason for General Erench's Recent Visit
to Cape Town.
LONDON, Feb. Sit appears that
General French's visit to Cape Town
was to ask Lord Roberts for 1000 more
men. Whether he got them is not dis
closed.
Troops are no longer detained at Cape
Town: They proceed Immediately to
some point at the front. Three thou.
sand disembarked Monday and were
quickly sent elsewhere. No public re-
ception was given to the arriving volun-
teers at Cape Town, because they had to
leave Immediately. As Lord Roberts,
since the battle Of Spion Kop, has had
10000 fresh troops to dispose of, it is
probable some have gone to General
Butler.
