LONDON, January pa a. M
Seven days have left the main Boer
positions intact and Gen. Buffers
army 760 men weaker, according to the
official casualty list, which seemingly
do not include the Spion Kop losses. as
those last forwarded not not mention
Gen. Woodgate's wounding.
England is possessed by a depress-
ing sense of failure, although not a
word in criticism of her generals and
soldiers Is uttered. Not much effort
is made to place a happy construction
upon Gen. Buffers bare eighteen words
telling of the retirement from Spion
Kop, and there is an uneasy impress
sion abroad that worse news is yet
to come.
At one of the military clubs tonight
the statement passed from one mem
Der to another that the war office had
received an unpleasant supplementary
dispatch from Gen. Butler, which was
being held up for twelve hours.
Spencer Wilkinson. in the Morning
Post, writes as follows of the Spion
Kop loss:
This is a serious matter, and an at
tempt will not here be made to min
imize it, for no greater wrong can be
done to our people at home than to
mislead them about the significance of
the events of the war. The right way
is to tell the truth as far as we know
it."

LONDON, January 26.-In the words
of an editorial in the Westminster Ga
zette this afternoon: "The Associated
Press said Warren's success was ex-
actly what it was-provisional. The
Westminster Gazette's remark was
.alled out by George w. Smalley's ca
de to the Times this morning, saying:
The Associated Press takes care that
we shall not overestimate Warren's
success, suggesting that it is only pro-
visional, and that there is the usual
disposition of London to exaggerate
the importance of the point scored.
The Westminster Gazette then pro-
ceeds to defend it's own course, point
ing out that it is not unpatriotic to
decline to gloss over facts"
As a matter of fact. Great Britain
assumes that the point gained was
more conclusive than 1t really was.
hence the extreme revision of feeling
caused by Gen. Buffers announcement
of the abandonment of Spion kop.
Considering hat the Beers who held
the position fed, that the British cas-
ualties in retaining it during the sub
seuuent attacks were heavy and that
the strict strategical value of the
point had still to be demonstrated,
there never was any great reason for
throwing up hats, and until further
particulars arrive it is impossible to
estimate to what extent the public
disappointment is justified. 1t is
impossible at present to say whether
the British suffered a reverse or the
movement was dictated by strategic
reasons. Obviously, the position was
useless unless guns could be planted
ON it.
Discovering this was impossible, Gen.
Warren may have decided 1t was un-
safe to attempt to hold the position any
longer, or perhaps he is seeking a more
profitable ascent elsewhere. Whatever
may be the explanation of the abandon
ment of Spion Kop by the British, it
will doubtless have the same temper
airy moral effect as a reverse. 1t ap-
pears to have been so entirely unex-
pected at the war office that Gen. Bull
ler's dispatch caused something in the
nature of a CONSERVATION The Hobbies
were soon crowded and there was eV-
denoe on all sides that the news was
keenly felt. The only official COM
ment was: Apparently Gen. Warren
found the position too hot TO hold"
Gen. Butler reports that the British
casualties January "a were: Killed,
officers, 6; nop-commissioned officers
and men, IS; wounded, officers, II;
non-commissioned officers and men,
142; missing, 81 men.

sat in the grove. Mr.. S. J. Durham, of

never disappointed. for no matter what
the crowd and conditions they always
get the best he has in his shop.
There has been an effort on foot 70 get
this great campaigner to speak here to-
night, but re positively refused as he
has resolved henceforth not TO make more

was given out last night when Claude

call by the executive committee of the

question of whether the dispensary has
been a detriment to the business interest
of the city. The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. M. j. Norman Wills and
Prof J. Y. Joyner was called to the chair.
Mr.. Jno. N. Wilson read a resolution
which stated that the dispensary had not
been detriment, but on the contrary
the city has gone through an unusually
prosperous year. A paper was read by
the secretary giving the names of at least
two-t thirds of the business concerns of the
city, who say that business has been as
good or better under dispensary regime
than before and Mr.. A. w. McAllister
read a report of the conditions OF the
banks of Greensboro, showing that the
deposits of the associated banks of the
city have gained something like quar-
ter of million dollars during the year.
Mr.. Wilson's motion was then put and
was carried without a dissenting vote
An effort was made by the promoters
of the call to call off the meeting last
night, but the effort was unsuccessful
and the meeting was held anyway.

Port Royal to Lose Naval Station
(Rv The Associated Press. J

Washington. June 29.-The board Of
naval officers, of which Admiral Rodgers
is president, appointed under the terms
of the last naval appropriation act, to
consider the propriety Of transferring the
naval station at Port Royal, S. c.. to
Charleston, is to meet in few days, the
exact time to be specifically set by the
President at the Navy Department. AL
though the Naval Appropriation Act leaves
it discretionary with the board to re-
move the station at Port Royal, it may be
stated that the decision on that point is
foregone, the lack of facilities at Port
Royal and the dangers from high water
at that point having already determined
the Navy Department upon its abandon
ment as a naval station.
