no GROUND GAINED,

reconnaissance at Springfield Results In
British Loss of Sixteen.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The only war news
of any kind during the morning was an
official dispatch from General Butler at
Chiveley announcing a reconnaissance
at Springfield. resulting in no gain Of
ground on either side. Captain Hamil.
ton Russell, Lieutenant G.. Churchill
and 10 were wounded and Lieutenant
Pilkington and six men were captured
by the Beers.
The dispatch contains the detailed &C.
counts of what appear to be unimport.
ant operations. They only tend to throw
light on the situation by proving that
he Beers are actively following General
Buffers every move.
From Field Marshal Lord Roberts at
he Modder river, where all eyes are
turned, there is no word.
A dispatch from Mafeking says the
garrison there can hold out until June.
General Buffers dispatch from Chiey-
ely, dated Monday, February IL, says:
1.-The commanding officer at Spring
field reports this morning that a squad.
ron OF the First dragons moving to the
outpost line covering the right flank Of
the camp met a party of Beers near Fus.
tenberg. The Beers reaching the crest
OF the hill first, opened a heavy fire on
the squadron, which retired. He sent
out supports and the Beers RETIRED
The dispatch then gives the casualties
as already cabled.
Continuing, the Chieveley dispatch
says: Dundonald, with 700 mounted
men, a field battery and the First ROYAL
Welsh fusiliers. Feb. IL, ~reconnoitered
the high ground which the enemy has
been in the habit of visiting.
The enemy evacuated it with tho loss

When the force retired on the comple.
ton OF the reconnaissance, the enemy
returned i'll considerable numbers and
kept upa heavy rifle fire, woundine
slightly Lieutenant G. Churchill Of the
South African Light Horse. Five men
are missing.
1t is not quite clear who wrote the
dispatch as Generals Lyttleton, Hid.
yard, Warren and other generals are be.
lieved to be in the n%eighborhood of
Springfield.
1t is thought possible that the Lien.
tenant Churchill reported to be slightly
wounded is Winston Churchill's brother
John, who was recently given a com.
mission i'll the Southern African Light

he admitted that all the positions he had

The gold standard bill in the senate Is

the original bill Senator Chandler, re.
publican, said in a speech last week:
Those who nave absorbed the gold Of
the world are trying to make it more
valuable by legislation. That is the
natural meaning OF the first ten lines Of
the senate bill. There's no need Of law
for any other object. Absolutely no
other purpose is to be subserved
by tho e lines. The passage Of the bill

ZION in the bill | cannot give to 1t my

1t to this is an abandonment of repub-
IAN principles. Any retarding of the
.cvement to make gold more valuable
ces not suit the gold class. Further
steps therefore are now demanded,
namely, that all existing silver coin shall

Of real money and placed in
he condition Of credit money, that
. money all of which must

new principle is to prevail. The real

credit money, including silver money,
will be $l0,Go,O00,00 And upon this

Its true that because it 10 claimed
