Aided by Europeans.

Indianapolis, Jan. III. G. Thurtle, a
prominent resident of this city, an En-
glishman and first cousin to Lord Rob-
erts, who is at the head of the English
army in South Africa, formerly served in
the English army and for several years
held a commission under General Me-
thuen in South Africa. He became thor
oughly acquainted with the Beers and
their country during his service on the
English police guard and gives the fol-
lowing reasons for the defeat of the
English:
1.-THE English are not fighting the
Boers," said he, 'for if they We're and
had been, Lord Methuen would never
have been trapped as he was. They are
and Germans. This aid is given secretly,
and ermans. This aid is given secretly,
of course, but is nevertheless effectual.
The Beers are not capable of Waging
such a campaign as the one now in
progress without assistance from those
who understand the science of military
tactics better than they do.
Their method Of fighting is that of the
open field work and they are not shrewd
enough for successful warfare. I served
under Lord Methuen in South Africa and
well remember the conditions there at
that time. Things are practically the
same there now as they were them"

LATE REPORT FROM FRONT
Gen. Butler Laid His Plan Of CAM
paign Before Lord Roberts and the
Latter Approved Of 1t-General
Methuen Not Ill.

London, Jan. 12.-The war Office this
morning received the following dispatch
from Butler, dated Springfield, January
II, $3.50 p. m.
II occupied the south bank of the
Tugela river, at Potgieters drift, this
morning and seized the point. The river
is in flood. The enemy is strongly en-
trenched about four and half miles to
the north"
Apart from the definite news that Bull
Ter has attempted a second time to cross
the Tugela river, the only news is the
list of casualties among the British off,
GERS in the fight at Ladysmith on jan
uary s, showing 13 killed and q wounded.
Among the latter was Lieut.. Col. William
Henry Dick commander of
the Second battalion of the Gordon High
landers since 1897, who has since sue
cumbed to his wounds. He was i'm
mensAly popular everywhere and his
death will cause widespread sorrow.
Buffers movement obviously is of a
thanking character of attack, but whether
it is intended to push the advance home
or whether his operations are only a
feint to cover frontal attack on the
Beers at Illangwana mountain, remains
to be- seen.
Springfield, whence Buffers dispatch
was sent is 16 miles west of Frere. The
last news from Springfield was that II
was held by the johannesburg corps
under Gen. Ben Viljoen and that the
Beers had big guns in position at Pot
gieter's drift, apparently six or eight
miles north of Springfield and across the
big Tugela. The position of the drift
and the point is regarded as of great i'm
portance.
| 1t is reported here that Butler sub.
mitted his plan of campaign to LORD
Roberts after the latter landed and that
! Roberts sanctioned it.
! There is a belief here that Gen. Hector
i MacDonald will succeed Methuen in com.
mand of the British forces at Moddel
river.

THE CHANGE IMPERATIVE
SOLDIERS HAD LOST CONFIDENCE
IN THE GENERALS IN THE
~, FIELD-SALISBURY
RULING.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch from
London to the Tribune says: The
fourth month Of the war opens with
Lord Roberts in command of the scat
tered British forces in South Africa.
The government has made so many mis-
takes that they have credit for sagac-
ity In sending to Capetown great SOL
dier capable of commanding the conf
dence of the armies in the field and ST.
lencing criticism at home. While the
situation has not been materially alter
ed since he received the queens ORDERS
evidence has been supplied from the
field operations that the soldiers are fret
ting and discontinued and that changes
of commanders are imperative. The
censorship has mutilated the press dis
patches and exercised a. restraint over
war correspondents by mail, but it has
not tampered with private lltters from
officers and men which are now finding
their way into print
The truth about Gatacres repulse and
the retreat and slaughter of the Highland
Brigade at MagersfOntein and the action
of Hurts and Barton's brigades at the
battle on the Tugela has come out with
cumulative effect in short letters of SOL
diers published in London and the pro-
vincial press. These revelations have pro-
duced a painful impression that the
armies have not been led prudently and
that the time has passed when gen.
erals who have blundered should be al
lowed to retrieve regulations when the
soldiers have lost faith in them.
General Butler stands in better light
than any other general because he Of
fered conclusive proof of his caution
and Reconsideration for the lives Of SOL
dierB in ordering a retreat from Colenso
when they were eager to continue fight
ing under hopeless conditions.
General White alone has redeemed his
reputation and rendered the relief of
Ladysmith a duty OF paramount import
ance.
The story of the Suffolk's reverse, which
Is told in detail by several agencies and
correspondents this morning. is a sorry
ree tition of Gatacre's ambuscade on a
smaller scale. The Dutch were evidently
informed by spies that a night march
would be made and awaited in silence
the attack. allowing the Suffolks to
come almost within bay0net reach. Col

the Montana legislature from Granite

preached by Bickford in Helena previous
to the meeting of the legislature and ask
ed to vote for Clark.
II said," witness testified, "that might
do so if there was enough in it. He asked
how much. I said twenty thousand. He
then asked me if half that amount would
not be enough. I replied no, and we sep
arated."
Sullivan said he met Bickford who sug-
gested fifteen thousand. Witness told
Bickford then he would not vote for
Clark under any circumstances and had
seen no more of him.
Sullivan said his purpose had been to
lead Bickford on and that he had not ex-
pected to vote for Clark, even If the offer
of twenty thousand dollars had been ac-
cepted. The witness stated he is the pro-
prietor of the Florence hotel at Butte and
the cross-examinatiOn was devoted to
showing that this hotel is owned largely
by Marcus Daily. The witness declared
he did not know if Daily was the owner
He admitted his patronage was largely
from employees of the Anaconda mine.
Counsel brought out the fact that
whereas before the legislature met Sulli-
van had been proprietor of saloon, pay
ing $50 month rent, he now pays $2,00l
a month for the Florence house.

A. J. Steele had promised him fifty thou
sand to secure the vote Of members O
