10 DROWN. OUT LADYSM|IA.
Beers Said to Propose II to Dam
..-S the Kip River, = y
NEW WEAPON OF WARFARE.
London Hears Little from the Battle
Decentralization to Believe Butler
Contemplates Another Attempt to


aues correspondent of the Times, tele-
graphing under date of Jan. 80, says
that information has been received
from the Transvaal that the Beers are
convinced of the uselessness of again
attempting to storm Ladysmith, and
of continuing their ineffective bonn
bardment.
They have resolved to dam the Kip
river some miles below the town, hop
ing to food the place and drive the SOL
diers and inhabitants out Of the bomb
proof caves, so as to expose them to
the shell fire. Hundreds of Kattirs and
huge quantities Of timber and sand
bags have been sent from johannes
burg and Pretoria to perform the work.
The supplemental lists of causalties
fill two columns in nonpareil type in
the morning papers, making 1900 re-
ported thus far for Gen. Buffers opera
tions north of the Tugela. The Daily
Chronicle estimates that the total ex-
ceeds 1000. The 40 per cent loss at
Spion kop is greater than any British
force ever suffered, except possibly at
Albuera, Spain, in 1911.
Situation Reviewed.
The situation in South Africa, SO far
as is known, is unchanged, but the
idea grows that Gen. Butler is prepar-
ing for third attempt to reach Lady
smith. The correspondent of the
Morning Post, telegraphing from
Spearman's camp, under date of Jan.
%, says:
Nobody is downcast, but it is gen.
orally understood that supreme effort
to pierce the Boer lines is impending.
The soldiers are resolved to get their
own back. Their spirit is most de-
termined. The army is exasperated,
but not defeated Gen. Butler will per-
severe, and all will come right in the
end"
The cheerful optimism of the garri-
son at Ladysmith in the face of disap-
pointment excites admiration, but it
is feared that their position is really
worse than their attitude implies.
Nevertheless, there is no expectation
that they will surrender.
Gen. Buffers vindication of Col.
Thorneycroft is received with all the
greater pleasure, as his previous dis
patch seemed to imply censure, and the
colonel is generally credited with wise
ly realizing that any further attempt
to hold Spion kop would only have in
volved useless slaughter.
Ono Estimate Gives 3Ol Killed.
Assuming that the causalty returns
are now complete, the total cost of the
capture and defense of Spion kop on
Jan. "a, was $40 men, including thirty
officers and ITS men killed. The esti-
mates Of the total losses since the Brit
ish crossed the Tugela river, on Jan.
II, differ, some of the returns appear
ing to duplicate others. The highest
estimate is 301 killed, 1854 wounded,
and 100 missing.
Whether the Boer official returns OF
thel- casualties are accurate or other
wise, their loss was admittedly far less,
which Is to be expected, in view of the
fact that they were acting on the de-
fensive throughout, except for part of
the day on Jan. "a.
Confirmation of the report that
Mafeking had been relieved is still
lacking.

TROUBLE IN ARMY OF SIRDAF

Discomfort Of Egyptian Troops Encour-

London. Feb. "A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Cairo states that Gen.
Sir Francis Wingate, sirdar of the
Egyptian army, has hurriedly started
for Omdurman, owing to the growing
discomfort of the Egyptian troops
there. Some Of the native officers
have been discontinued for some time.
Their grumbling became louder and
their attitude rather hostile after the
news of the recent British reverses in
South Africa. 1t is hoped that Gen.
Wingate will be able to check the
trouble.

Troops VIII Not be Sent to Kentucky
Unless Necessary.
Washington, Feb. 2.-No interior
ence by the federal authorities in the
Kentucky troubles is looked for by the
officials here, at least not as long as
the state authorities are able to con-
troll the situation. If, however, the
situation should become so serious that
the state authorities are unable to deal
with it, and should call upon the fed
eral government for assistance to sup
press the disorder, troops would, OF
course, be sent. But this would only
be done as last resort and upon the
representations of the state officials
that they had exhausted all their re-
sources and were powerless to cope
with the situation. This view Of the
case is given by an administration off,
cial, and may be taken as an express
sion by the administration.
