JOHANNESBURG DEFENSES
Are What Might Be Termed Natural
Ones, and a Big Fight May Be Ex-
pected Near That Town-Opini0n
of a German.

London. Jan. %, 3 p. m.-Nothing has
been received thus far to-day to indicate
tina. any conclusive result has been reach
ed by the British forces in the region OF
Upper Tugela and the lack of informa-
tion regarding what men and munitions
the Beers have in reserve prevents an ac-
curate determination Of the measure of
success attending the two days hard
fighting. All that can be said is that the
British seem to be doggedly advancing IN
the face of equally stubborn resistance.
At the close Of yesterdays fighting the
republicans had merely evacuated their
first line of defense to take up another
semi-circular position a short distance in
the rear recalling the old burgher ruse
by which the Beers have previously man
aged to entice the British into fatal traps.
Though there is considerable anxiety
as to the immediate result of Buffers
dash at Ladysmith. which later develop
ments indicate was undertaken inde-
pendent of Field Marshal Roberts, the
war Office has now come to the conclu-
sion that the relief of Ladysmith is only
matter of a short time. According to
the war office officials idea a dash to the
relief of Kimberley will quickly follow
the relief of Ladysmith, and then with
out doubt long spell of organization,
and perhaps three or four months will
elapse before column or columns will
have their transportation in fit shape to
advance with a certainty of meeting
with no serious reverses. The latter
conditions are held by the authorities to
be absolutely essential before a forward
! movement toward the invasion of the
Transvaal is begun, hence there is some
probability of the war ending inside of
six months.
Dispatches from elsewhere in South
Africa this morning give trivial details
of minor happenings and do not illumi-
nate the situation.
The widow of General Wauchope in an
open letter hotly denies the story that the
general in any way criticized Methuen.
She says Wauchope's last mention of Me-
thuen to her was contained in letter
from the Orange river dated November
29, as follows:
II expect Methuen will halt at Modder
river for some days before pushing for
ward. He has had hard time of it, ana
must be real gallant soul to shove along
as he does."
Lord Wolseley has also issued denial
of the report that the war Office is in pos
session of letter from Wauchope, writ
ten the night before the battle of Magers-
fontein, saying it would be the last letter
he would write as he had been asked to
perform an impossible task and he had
either to obey orders or surrender his
sword.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-01-22
Complaint Filed.

News York. Jan. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Only
one complaint has been registered at the
state department that a filibustering ex-
pedition was organizing in this country
for the purpose of proceeding to South
Africa.
The complaint was filed ten days ago
by the British ambassador who gave the
state department. notification Of the inn
pending departure Of a vessel from Phil
adelphia, laden with an armed expedi-
ton in, the interest of the Beers. An in
vestigation by the treasury department
disclosed that the vessel was seagoing
tug with about sufficient coal capacity to
carry it from Philadelphia to the Della
ware breakwater and back again.
Though the British ambassador UNDER
stands that many men have been re-
cruited in this country for service in the
Boer army, he has found it impossible to
stop the practice, as the American neu-
trality laws cannot be applied to unarm-
ed men leaving the United States. no mat
ter II their destination may be the Trans
vaal. 1t would not be surprising to the
officials If the British government were
also obtaining recruits here, but this, as
in the case of the Boer agents, cannot be

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-01-22
Stubborn Resistance.

Spearman's Camp, Jan. %, $50 a. M
Early Sunday morning General Warren
commenced a flanking movement on the
extreme left of the Boer position. The
infantry advanced at five in the morning
along irregular Tabamyama mountain,
which ends at Spienkop. The artillery
positions were behind and on the plain.
The British carefully worked along the
hills until within 1000 yards Of the COM
manding kopje on which the Beers We're
concentrated, concealed behind immense
boulders strewn thickly over the hill.
The artillery opened the attack and the
