HOW LORD RoBERTs's SON Eel

guarding communications. and forty thousand
trying TO rescue Ladysmith
The public burns with irnpatience that some
thing should be done.
There is nothing to do, however, but to wait
on the preparations. Oceans Of ink are poured
out in advice Orators are at work in the prov
inces telling people that England has set her
teeth in grim determination to see 1t through
The Governments declaration in Parliament
the counter suggestions of those outside the
Government, and the consequent discussion In
the press and on the platform win Immediately
enthrau public interest. The thing on which
everybody seems agreed is that more men
must go.
Twenty thousand two hundred and twenty
two men and 155 guns are at sea: 1000 in
fantry, 5000 cavalry, including 5000 yeomen,
are practically ready to embark Therefore the
Government, without doing more. can place at
the disposal Of Lord Roberts 10000 additional
men and 155 guns The further purposes of the
War Office are supposed to embrace somewhere
in the neighborhood OF $4,000 men, AS the indi-
cation is that candidates will be rather scarce,
the War Office will issue orders for those re-
serves who were found unit at the previous
New-York tribune., 1900-01-30

for more effective blows. All hopes of the
speedy relief Of Ladysmith have been aban-
doned, and the consensus of expert opinion urged
the immediate shifting of the theatre of war
from the rocky kopjes of Natal to the open veldt
OF the Free State One thing appears certain
another long pause is inevitable unless the Beers
assume the offensive, because, even in the event
Of General Butler further attempting to reach
Ladysmth, the planning of a new move will
necessarily occupy time.
The afternoon newspapers drew attention to
the closeness of the parallel between the Federal
attack on General Lee at Fredericksburg and the
operations on the Upper Tugela, and are also
discussing whence are to come the troops for a
protracted campaign. 1t is becoming generally
recognized that some form Of compulsory ser
vice is more and more imminent than previously
imagined.
The Queens Speech, at the reassembling Of
Parliament tomorrow, is awaited with unusual
interest in the expectation that considerable
increase In the naval and military expenditure
will be made necessary by the lessons of the
war, and be altogether apart from the special
vote
Curiously enough, there is visible, especially

James's Gazette" saws:

apologies for General Buffers defeat. "The St.
Jamess Gazette" says:
The meaning of the retreat is obvious. We
nave had to recognize that we cannot force our
way through the enemy's lines to Ladysmith
Why, we do not know. II the Boer position Is
lmpregnable. it ought never to have been at
tackled. If it Is capable of being taken, we were
repused because the leadership was bad, and 1t
is idle to attempt to conceal that the latter Is
rar from incredible. To start out declaring
there must be turning back is eminently
FOOLISH. When swagger and rant prevail there
is commonly plentiful lack of judgment and true
resolution. 1t requires serious effort not to
yield to the gloomy conviction that the intel
lectual and moral qualities which make for sue
cess have been replaced on our staff by wordsi
words! words! The remedy for South Africa is
not to add to the numbers, but to put the troops
where their force come into play.
The same paper returns to scathing criticism
Of the language of General Buffers reports. and
says:
General Buffers reflection the terror he put
into the foe reminds of things we have heard
about Chinese mandarins.

MONEY AND MEN WANTED BY BoERs.


Charles D. Pierce, the Consul-GeneraI of the
Orange Free State here, yesterday received letter
from DR.. Hendrix Muller. Envoy Extraordinary Of
the Orange Free State to the Netherlands 1t says
in part
As to volunteers from whom 1 receive a large
number of offers from America by every mail none
of them may be engaged either by Dr. Leyds. En-
yoy Extraordinary of the Transvaal Republic at
Brussels or by me, by any representative OF the
two republics. Any person who wants to go to
South Africa must do on his own account and at
his own risk, via Delagoa Bay. The only thing 1
can do is to recommend to the BOer authorities
people who have presented themselves to and
are possessed OF excellent testimonials and Gre
dentials. After arrival here they will be advised
verbally how to get to the frontier without much
difficulty.
OF course, military men who will go for their own
account, who know how to shoot with cannon or
gun, who do not claim or ask commanding posi-
tion, knowing that Boer never fights under for
eign command, will be welcomed If they can prov e
their trustworthy character. Should such people
be sent out for love of our cause in case they can
not pay their own passage money, this would De
done by us or by our friends in a private capacity.
It is of course very possible that the two repuo-
lies, after a happy finish of the war. VIII repay
some of such money If the volunteers have rem
dered real service but there Is official certainty
about this. AS to money, will say that this is most
urgently required for many purposes. l have my
self spent a small fortune already for our Just

FORECAST OF QUEENS SPEECH.

ITS TONE FAvORs CONTINUANCE OF THE
WAR-FOREIGN RELATIONS
London, Jan. 29-It was learned to-day that
the Queens Speech at the reassembling of Par
lament tomorrow will be colorless. There will
be a short reference to the war. chiefly confined
TO regrets at the terrible boodshed and enco-
miums of the men who have laid down their
lives for the country. The whole proclamation
indicates that there is not the slightest idea of
giving up the war until Great Britain's ends are
gained.
The Speech will further say that relations
with all the foreign States are very friendly
and will express great pleasure and gratifca-
tion at the patriotism shown by the colonies at
a critical period in sending troops to South Af-
RIGA and at the patriotism existing in the Empire
generally. 1t will also express qualification at
the offers of troops from Indian chiefs and will
allude to the satisfactory completion of the
treaty relating to Samoa.
