London. Jan 10, a. m.-Although Lord
Roberts teIegraphed from Cape Town last night
that there was no change in the situation. the
continued absence of news as to General Buffers
movements is not considered reassuring. The
sfIenoa of the correspondents is doubtless due to
tbe censorship. and the messages which General
Butler has sent for the information of the
War Office it has probably been considered in
expedient TO make public
THE Standards" correspondent in Ladysmith
Is the first TO get through from the beleaguered

portion of the message, describing the earlier
stages Of the engagement. has not yet been re-
ceived. The assault on the western end of Gen
eral Whites southern position was, it seems
continued with the utmost stubbornness until
darkness came on and the Devonshire regiment
in the final charge cleared the Beers from
Wagon Hill at the point of the bayonet. The
British positions are being strengthened all
around, but up to the present the Beers have
made no fresh movement against them.
The Boer version of the battle, which comes
through Daziers agency, pays a glowing tribute
to the gallantry of both sides. The attack was
most determined and the defence equally tena-
cious The British were most strongly in
trenched. and the walls of their redoubts were
slxiifully loopholed. The combat was so close
that rifles were frequently fired at arms length
between the opposing forces. 1t was. in fact
q hand TO hand encounter in the gray dawn.

fought like demons the horror and the be-
prderment of the scene presenting a picture

London. Jan. i, l a. m.-The forty-eight
hours silence respecting Sir Redvers Buffers
advance was broken by a Central News bulletin
yesterday noon from Durham. 1t contained the
brief statement that General Warren left Frere
Camp on Thursday with 2 strong flying column
.n cooperation with General Buffers move
snent, and that II was reported that the great
battle had begun and that fighting was pro-
ceeding at three points.
The direction taken by the flying column was
not mentioned. and experts We're left at liberty
20 balance the probabilities between eastern
and western turning movements with feint at
tacks at the opposite end. One theory was
that the occupation Of Potgieter's Drift, seven
teen miles west Of ColensO, was a feint to con-
ceal the advance OF a flying column through
Weenen TO the Tugela River, about the same
distance east Of Colenso on the Ladysuith
road The other theory was that the flying
column had taken the road from Frere to
Springfield and pushed on to the Tugela at
Potgieter's Drift, whence il would advance to
Aadysmith after turning the enemy's position
VIEWS OF THE EXPERTS.
The eastward turning movement was the one
which the military experts here had been pre-
dieting for the last fortnight because the coun-
try east Of Colenso was more favorable for the
advance OF flying column than the hilly re-
gion west Of Ladysmith, but the fact that Cen
eral Butler was il Springfield on Thursday
night, when his first announcement of the oc-
cupation OF the south bank at Potgieter's Drift
was telegraphed TO London seemed to indicate
that the flying column had gone westward
FATHER than eastward. since he would not have
peen behind the felnt attack. but in position
70 overlook the main advance The correctness
OF this inference was disputed by some of the
keenest observers, who remarked that the
promptness with which the seizure Of the pont
at Potgieter's Drift was announced implied a
deliberate purpose on General Buffers nart to
lnslead the enemy by magnifying the impor-
tance OF the feint and distracting attention
from the real quarter Of attack eastward. and
that his presence at Springfield would have
been the best possible eXpedient for acconplish-
ing that object. The utility of working the
censorship artifcially for misleading the enemy.

an open question.

DEWEY AND THE CANAL.

The American people will listen with
due respect to Admiral Dewey when
ever he speaks on national questions,
particularly those pertaining In any
way to naval affairs. Who has proved
himself to have more practical expert
ence and more sound sense than he on
such questions? 1t is therefore Of gen
eul interest 10 learn his Views on the
Nicaragua canal. He is said 10 have
spoken as follows on the question
whether the canal should be fortified
or not:
"Fortincotlons? Why, OF course not.
AS / understand II, the canal Is to be
and should be neutrallzed CONNER
clal pathway between the two great
oceans. To fortify II would simply re-
suit In making 1t a battle ground In
case OF war Fortidcations would be
enormously expensive aud ought not to
be- erected Our fleet will be a suill-
Client guarantee Of the neutrality and
safety Of the canal in time Of war as
well as Ia peace"
That is TO say the Admiral does not
believe It necessary for this country to
30 to the expense Of building costly
Notifications for the purpose Of secur-
ing the neutrality Of that proposed
highway Of commerce lie thinks the
money would be better appropriated for
ships, as those would be sufficient
guaranty Of the safety OF the canal
on the question Of the right OF this
country to control the canal the para
graph quoted is silent. Admiral Dewey
undoubtedly takes the American posi-
ton that II the canal Is to be built by
American capital, II should h" con-
trollcd By the American government.
II this control can be absolute and Sc
cured without costly Notifications, 1t
is all the better. This country Is about
to build large navy, and 1t can be
put to no better use than TO defend one
Of the greatest business enterprises in
which this country ever engaged.

KRUGER AND THE PSALMS.


one OF the remarkable features Of the
Boer campaign Is the use President
Kruger makes Of sacred writ for the
purpose Of stirring his troops 10 enthu-
siastlo patriotism. In this respect he
resembles the hero OF the Thirty years
war custayus Adolphus, or Cromwell.
Thus in one Of his messages 10 his
generals. he says; Read Psalm, 49,"
In this Psalm the inspired poet calls
upon the righteous to render thanks
unto the Almighty because lie Is Just,
good and true. and because lie is the
sovereign ruler Of the universe. He
emphasizes this sovereignty as an en-
courag cement TO trust implicitly In the
Lord. Reference to this piece OF Hebrew
poetry may well be regarded as an
indirect reply OF the Transvaal presl-
dent OF the claim Of the British gov
eminent 20 sovereignty. Dom Paul EVIL
IDENTIFY belongs 70 the rapidly disap-
pearing Pietistic school Of worshipers,
who used to believe implicitly that God
Omnipotent rules mundane affairs in ac-
cordance with His divine plans and
purposes.
The Psalm referred to reads in part
as follows:
Blessed Is the nation whose God Is
the Lord: and the people whom He
has chosen for His inheritance.
There Is no king saved By the multi
tude OF an host a mighty man Is not
delivered by much strength.
IAN horse IL vain thing for safety;
neither shall He deliver any BY His
great strength.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord; He
Is our help and our shield
Men fighting with the understanding
conveyed in these lines are very much
in the frame Of mind In which David
went to the encounter with the Philis-
tine giant, They are relying upon a
higher power than their own, and II
faith is a power 1t cannot but be man
fest in mighty deeds. Paul Kruger is
a wonderful character in this age, and
his war is one Of the most remarkable
in history

New York Is not little agltated

II Is said TO be the story Of a courte-

to the Tombs police court, charged with
having violated the penal code. relating
70 matters offending public morals.
Her manager, Marcus Mayer, and the
leading man, Hamilton Reveille, were
arrhigned with the actress.
In the meantime the play goes on TO
crowded houses. II Is asserted that the
notorlety given the play by the news
papers has had the effect opposite to
that which was Intended, Il has swelled
the receipts OF the theater more than
any other kind Of advertisement could
have done. This fact suggests that,
unless the prosecution Of indecent au-
