LONDON THEORIES.
Figuring on the Plan Of Campaign
Roberts viii Adopt.

NEW YORK, Jan. GA dispatch to
the Tribune from London, says:
While General French's adrOit man.
euvers and gallant repulse OF the enc
my's determined attack are Of superior
Interest as incidents Of actual warfare
public attention cannot be diverted
from the impending battle at the Tu-
gela.
Heavy fighting has been expected
from hour to hour by military men,
who could not be convinced that Sir
Redvers Butler would wait for the
single battery AMI the small force Of
Hussars which had been dispatched
from Cape Town to Durham, but when
the official bulletin dated yesterday
from Frere camp and containing his
thanks in the name OF the army 70
the holiday remembrances from home
was posted, the impression prevailed at
the clubs that decisive battle would
be deferred until Monday, when he

gun and horse.
The military writers for the press
were divided in their forecasts Of the
plan of attack. One group held that
the Nnhlawe mountain would be the
first objective point and that the
southern bank would be cleared before
any attempt was made TO force the
passage of the river.
The second group, undismayed by
the failure of the previous forecasts.
assumed that there would be run
ming movement a long distance away
with front attack at the other end
of the line and a vigorous artillery fire
at the center and they cited as proofs
Of their theory, he reports ef systema-
tie scouting on the upper Tugeia near
Springfield, the massing of warren's
division at Estcourt. whence it could
be sent toward Weenan and the or
ganizaton of the transport system on
large scale.
The last detail was certainly signi-
ficant. since no turning movement on
the lawer Tugela could be made with
oft mule transports, but an expert
enoed veteran who managed the trans
port system in the previous campaign
in South Africa said last night that
this was no conclusive evidence, since
the mule train would be required at
once between Colenso and Ladysmith,
after the passage of the river as the
railway had probably been torn up by
the Beers.
General Butler must have received
yesterday strong cavalry reinforce
ments consisting OF the South African
ligth horse and the Eighteenth Hus-
sars and when the last battery afioat
with small force of hussars arrives,
he will be as strong as he can be ex-
pected to be and with nothing to gain
by delay

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-oflcial con-
frmatIon has come from both General
ods and Admiral Watson OF the re-
lease OF American prisoners who have
been held by Filipinos for many long
months, Otis dispatch reads as fol-
lows:
"Mania-The prisoners are now en-
route from Vlgan. They arrive to-
night, and a list Of them viii be tele-
graphed .olu,rrcw Lieutenant Gill
moIN is among the number"
That OF Watsons follows;
"Manila-Colonels Hare and Howits
have captured all American prisoners,
including Gilmore, now at Nigan.'
The sweeping statements made in
dispatches to the effect that all Amer
lean prisoners have Teen released has
aroused Il hope that in the list will
appear the names Of some officers and
privGtes of the army who are set
down ON the army rolls as missing
Prominent among the missing army
officers was Major Charles NJ. Rookie
feler, of the Ninth infantry, This
officer advanced beyong the lines dur

to Governor Rodgers the report Of
