Needless Sacrifice of Lives of
British Soldiers.
GEN. BUTLER SCORED
MISMANAGEMENT OF CAMPAIGN
BEFORE LADYsMITH.
Luck More Than Anything Else Re-
sponsible for the Final Success of
the Efort-Wounded Soldiers Left
to Suffer and Die on the Battle
field.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
London, March 31.-The officer
with General Butler who scathinglv
described the disaster at Spion Kop to-
day continues his remarkable series
with a denunciation, as bitter as ever
fell upon a general. This week his
article is confined to a general review
OF the strategy, or rather lack of
strategy which preceded the relief Of
Ladysmith, and he includes a terrible
indictment against the useless sacri-
ice of the Irish brigade whose gall
lantry excites SO much admiration in
England.
Yes" writes this officer. Lady
smith has been relieved at last; we
nave been laundering along the line
of hills that form that northern bank
OF the Tugela for many months, at
tempting to pass it at all sorts of
impossible places and suffering heavy
loss eac time. :
That is an accurate description of
the ten weeks campaign on the
Tugela. No one knew the ground or
took the trouble to learn it. AS an
example of this sublime indifference,
General Butler was not aware that
HlangWani mountain, which commands
the crossing Of the TugeIa, was on the
southern side Of the river until he had
failed in three different attempts. Yet
he lived for weeks within three or
four miles of the hill, and at the bat
tie of Colenso his right flank extended
beyond il.

Army Chaplain Gives Good Account
of Soldiers in Philippines.

washington, April "a defense of
the administration of affairs at Manila
is contained in a report just made to
the war department by Chaplain c. c.
Pierce.
This officer particularly antagonizes
the eX-chaplain of volunteers who has
been severely critici6ing the morals OF
the American troops in the Philippines,
making charges of wholesale intoxica-
ton and telling of the enormous in
ereas in the number of liquor drinking
saloons in Manila.
The chaplain declares that the figures
as 10 the number of saloons have been
perverted: that the American saloon
took the place of an untold number OF
native gin shacks which dispensed
liquid poisont Sith d%eplorable effect
upon the AmeS1can troops and that the
substitution of the regimental canteen
las resulted in an improvement in the
sobriety of the troops. Chaplain Pierce
also speaks in terms of praise of the
reformation of critical conditions IN
Manila resulting in general improve
ment in health.

went u Johnson was the most ener-
getic of the party, and when he saw
the train moving he made a run for it
and jumped on just as it had attained
pretty good speed.
One of the ironieS of the weather
man was made manifest Immediately
after the leaving of the excursion. The
sun, which a been hidden behind
dark clouds ever since the engineers ar
lived in the city, came out IN all his
brightness at the exact moment that
the bell rang for the train to move.
The local railroaders have nothing but
the kindest words to say of the men,
bers from New York. It is the same
way with the fasteners. William Pei
LEM, president of the exclusion, said
before he left that the party had had
a most delightful time in Salt Lake and
that every n of the local engineers
is a royal good fellow. He also ex-
tended the thanks of the party to all
who had taken part in receiving them
and all who had helped them to make
their visit enjoyable. They left at 5
O'Clock for the east. The members VIII

Provo, and will rejoin the party at that

Was No Strategy.

AS TO strategy there was none,
neither good, bad nor Indifferent. The
troops were moved along n when a
hill or an entrenchment appeared in
front they were ordered to take it.
Sometimes they failed, sometimes they
succeeded: often when they had sue
ceeded after terrible loss, the post was
found to be useless and was abandon
ed. This is the blind folly II which
we have been engaged and which
through good luck more than anything
else has eventually succeeded. But
had not Lord Roberts victory drawn
away a great part Of the Beers for the
defense of their own country, it would
never have succeeded and Ladysmith
would ave fallen. Thus weakened the
Beers a not force enough to occupy
such a long defensive position and one
by one the strong places fell into u
hands.

was ordered to send up the Connaught
