TOLD BY THE BOERS.
The Enemy's Account of the Rout
of Gen. Warren's Forces.

BOER HEADQU ARTERS,
Modder Spruit, Upper Tugela, Jan.
"a, midnight, via Lourenzo Mar

burghers from the outposts on the
highest hills on the Spion kop
group rushed into the laager say
ing the kop was lost and that the
English had taken it. Reinforce
ments were ordered up, but nothing
could be done for some time, the
hill being enveloped in thick mist.
AT dawn the Heidelberg and Car
olina contingents, supplemented
from other commanders, began the
ascent of the hill. Three spurs,
precipitious projections, faced the
Boer positions. Up these the ad-
vance was made. The horses were
left under the first terrace of rocks.
Scaling the steep hill, the Beers
found the English had improved
the opportunity and intrenched
heavily. Between the lines of
trenches was an open veldt, which
had to be rushed under a heavy
fire, not only from rifles, but of
lyddite and shrapnel from field
guns.
Three forces asceuded the three
spurs co-ordinately, under cover of
fire from the Free State Krupps, a
Creusot and a big Maxim. The
English tried to rush the Beers
with the bayonet, but their infan-
try went down before the Boer
rifle fire as before a scythe.
The Boer investing party ad-
vanced step by step until ? o'clock
in the Afternoon, when a white
flag went up and 80 men in the
front trenches surrendered, being
sent as prisoners to the head
laager.
The Boer advance continued on
the two kopjes east of Spion kop.
Many Beers were shot, but so
numerous were the burghers that
the gaps filled automatically. To-
ward twilight they reached the
summit of the kop, but did not get

The prisoners speak highly of
the bravery of the burghers, who,
despising cover, stood against the
skyline edges of the summit to
shoot the Dublin Fusiliers, shell
tered in the trenches. Firing con-

REPUBLICANS DID NOT ATTEND.
Democrats and Populists Held Pro-
BOer Mass Meeting.

Boer Mass Meeting.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 2S.-A pro-
Boer mass meeting of citizens was held
at the Exposition this afternoon. which was
attended by about four thousand people,
despite the fact that the thermometer was
below zero. Frank d. Larrabee, Mime
apolis lawyer, presided and addresses were
delivered by Governor John Lind, Mayor
James Gray. Rev. j. NJ. Cleary, pastor
of ST. Charles Church, and Judge VIM.
Prentice, of Chicago.
The most significant feature of the oc-
casion was the absence of Republicans.
During the past week forty-two prominent
citizens of that political faith were invited
to act as chairman, but declined. This,
however, was not from a lack OF sympathy
with the cause OF the Beers. but rather
the fear that the meeting would develop
pronounced anti-expansion sentiments.
These fears. however, as it proved. We're
groundless, only in two or three instances
reference being made to the administra-
tion's policy in the Philippines.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
hearty sympathy with the Beers of South
Africa, denouncing the efforts of Great
Britain to annihilate their republics and to
crush the spirit of freedom, commenting
the manner in which Dom Paul and his
people have conducted the war, condemn
ing the British for the use of dum-dum
bullets and lyddite shells, protesting
against the seizure of American flour and
beseeching the President of the United
States to act mediator between the
Beers and British to the end that the
war; declared to be unjust, may speedily
cease.

steps to send yet another $4,000. if these
should be needed. The hopeless attempts
to carry on the campaign with four widely
separated columns. each unequal to its
task, must be abandoned for concentra-
tion of force and of purpose"
All the editorials this morning breathe
the spirit of calm determination. Not one
will allow that any reverses could deter
the country from the object 1t has set it
self to attain, whatever the sacrifices which
may be involved.
Very frank criticism cf the government.
however, is beginning to be heard even in
quarters that have hitherto refrained. The
Daily Mail boldly throws all the blame
upon Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Lord Lans-
downe and Lord Wolseley. 1t points to
President Lincoln's dismissal of Simon
Cameron from the post of Secretary of
War as a precedent for getting rid of in
competent ministers"
The Morning Post dweils on the danger
of further rebellion at the Cape and Of
possible European complications. 1t urges
that the navy be prepared for "any
emergency"
The Standard and other papers reflect
the anxiety of the public to learn how
much truth there Is in the Boer accounts
of the fighting at Spion kop. General
Buffers obscurity In his dispatch is rather
bitterly criticised. as we'll as the evident
fact that the censor Is not only delaying,
but is deleting all important matter from
the few newspaper dispatches. To judge
with any accuracy of the extent of the
disaster is virtually impossible.
1t appears that General Butler had al
together five brigades wholly or partly
engaged-General Cookies, General Hid
and General Lyttletons--and the 270 casu-
alties already announced in Lyttleton's
brigade are thus explained. Much mystery
still surrounds the retreat. 1t is possible
that General Butler has withdrawn his
whole forces. but it is generally assumed
that Lyttleton's brigade. Lord Dundon-
AIDS cavalry and other troops are still
on the north side of the Tugeia.
General Buffers confidence that the Beers
did not molest his retreat because they had
been taught to respect the fighting powers
of the British soldier is not shared in Lon
don. 1t is thought rather that the Beers
had some other plan in store or did not
wish to waste their men.
Large arrivals of troops are due at Cape

AOINOO1N, y du 20. -<at - ~ LUX
this afternoon the War Office post
ed the following dispatch from
General Butler, dated Spearman's
Camp, Jan. n, 6:10 p. M:
ION Jan. 20 Warren drove back
the enemy and obtained possession
of the southern crests of the high
tableland extending from the line
of Acton Homes and Honger's
poort to the western Ladysmith
hills. From then to Jan. 25 he
remained in close contact with the
enemy.
'The enemy held strong posi-
tion on range of small kopjes,
stretching from northwest to south
east across the plateau from Acton
Homes, through Spion kop, to the
left bank of the Tugela.
"The actual position held was
perfectly tenable, but did not lend
itself to an advance, as the south
ern slopes were so steep that War
rem could not get an effective ar
ti1lery position and the water sup
ply was a difficulty.

was far more accessible from the

attacked Spiou kop, but found it
very difficult to hold, as its peri
meter was too large, and water,
which he had been led to believe
existed in this extraordinarily dry
season, was found very deficient.
The crests were held all that day

army throughout the trying day

in command at the summit, having

and did so before dawn on Jan. IS.
'I reached Warren's camp at 5
o'clock a. M, on Jan. IS, and de-
cided that second attack on Spion
kop was useless and that the
enemy's right was too strong to al
low me to force it. Accordingly
decided to withdraw the force to
the south of Tugela. At a. m.
