The Standard and other papers reflect
the anxiety Of the public to learn how
much truth there is In the Boer ac-
counts Of the fighting at Spion kop.
Gen. Buffers obscurlly In his dispatches
Is rather bitterly criticised as well as
the evident fact that the censor Is not
only heavily delaying, but IS keeping
out all important matter from The
newspaper dispatches 70 judge with
any accuracy OF the extent Of the dis
aster Is virtually impossible.
Il appears that Gen. Butler had alto
gether i've brigades wholly or partially
engaged. Gen. Cookies, Gen. Hid
yards. Gen. Har's, Gen. Woodgate =
and Gen. Lytteion's, and the go casu-
altles already announced In Lyttleton $
brigade are thus explained.
Much mystery still surrounds the re-
treat. II Is possible that Gen. Butler
has withdrawn. his whole forces, but II
is generally assumed that Lyttleton $
brigade and Lord Dundonald's cavalry
and other troops are still on the north
side OF the Tugea.
Gen. Buffers confidence that the
Beers did not modest his retreat because
they had been taught TO respect the
fighting powers Of the British soldier
is not shared In London. II Is thought,
rather that the Beers had some other
plan In store or did not wish TO waste
their men.
The situation at other points is un-
changed. but Indications that Lord
Roberts Is preparing plans for an ad-
vance across the Orange river come IN

Following Is the text OF Gen Buffers
dispatch dated Spearmans camp, Sat
urday, January 9th, G;l0 p. m:
ION January Goth Warren drove back
the enemy and obtained possession Of
the southern crest Of the high table
land extending from the line OF Acton
Homes and Hongerspoort 10 the west
ern Ladysmith hills. From then 10
January 25th he remained in close con-
tact with the enemy
"The enemy held strong position
on range of small kopjes stretching
from northwest to southeast across the
plateau from Acton Homes, through
Spion Kop TO the left bank Of the
Tugela.

fectly tenable, but did not lend ITSELF
to an advance, as the southern slopes
were so steep that Warren could not

An unusually high proportion Of lyd-

New York, Jen. 29.-The Herald's mill
tary expert, discussing the situation In
South Africa, says:
General Buffers flank movement 90
reach Ladysmith has come to nauSht.
Repulsed IN his first attempt 10 cross
the Tugela by frontal attack nj CO.
lenso, he has now been compelled 10
give up his attempt so pass around the
left OF the Boer line. His new repulso
may have been equally disastrous IN
casualties and certainly must be more
damaging TO his reputation for general
ship and have greater effect on the IS
sue OF the Natal campaign.
After Sir George White had succeed
ed in beating Off the determined attack
OF the Beers at Caesars camp the de-
velopment OF Buffers new plans be-
came inevitable, His preparations
had been deliberate, but nothing was
allowed 10 become known as TO his
real intentions until a dispatch from
the general himself announced that he
had seized Potgieter's drife. on the
Upper Tugela, and was getting his
force across. -Four or FIVE days fol.
lowed, In the course OF which Gen. Lyt-
Teton placed his brigade on the north
side OF Potgieter's drift ready TO attack
a Boer position at Brakfontein COM
handing a road 70 Dcwdrop. while Gen.
Warren was preparing TO throw his d.
vision against the extreme right OF the
long line Of the Beers. Warren had
crossed at Trichards drift. some five or
Elk miles 20 the west Of Potgieters
He had met with more opposition, but
his cavalry under Lord Dundonald
were able apparently TO reconnoiter for
a considerable distance In the direc-
tion OF Acton Homes, working round
on Warren's far left.
SO deliberate was this whole move
ment OF Buffers army, as II the general
were intent on throwing away no
chances or taking any risks that the
BOer generals had ample time TO con-
centrate any number Of their troops at
any point. with Gems. Botha and Cronje,
Warren found himself at once con-
fronted with an opposing army thrown
right across his path. A long ridge
ran four miles 90 the northwest OF
Trichards drift, ascending from the
