LONDON VETERAN COMMENT

New York, Jan. 10.--A dispatch TO
the Tribune from London says: II n
complete embargo upon news DO one of
the conditions OF successful strategy,
something really Napoleonic must be
going. on along the Tugela river.
At the clubs nearly all well informed
men were confident that the army had
been set in motion on Monday and off,
GERS fingered at the military service
till midnight, in the expectation of re-
ceiving tidings of some great stroke.
Veterans at the clubs and the mill
tary writer's of the morning journals
busted themselves with patching up
their theories. Changes were rung
upon the two main themes, the neces-
sity of the clearance of the south bank
before the passage of the Tugela could
be attempted, and the probability that
Warren's division would make wide
detour and cross the river seventeen
miles below Colenso. General Buffers
delay in operating in front of his
forces, seemed an insuperable objec-
ton TO the first theory and there were
only two facts to be cited in support of
the latter conjecture. These were the
establishment of Warren's headquar-
tiers as far down as Estcourt and the
apparent occupation of Weenen by
British troops, since one press dispatch
which slipped through the censors
hands described an exchange of flash
light signals with those of the village.
General Butler has succeeded in con-
fusing and bewildering the English
public, IL he has not dazed and con-
founded the Boer generals.
General French has reported recon-
noissance on the enemy's flank in
which considerable force was drawn
out, then allowed to retire. A squad
ron Of the Household Cavalry had an
accounting in this movement. French's
objective point in these maneuvers has
not yet been disclosed, but It is prob
able that General Cronje has sent re-
endorsements to the Free Staters on
the southern frontier and that the &C.
cupation Of the bridges over the Orange
river will be rendered difficult.
Battalions of the sixth division con-
tinue to arrive at Cape Town and the
Princess Of Wales, the hospital ship, is
also at anchor there. Lord Roberts can
now be looked for any day.
