great turning movement, Of which so
much had been expected, has come to a
stand fsill, cafefn lly wor6ed ii
sage to the war Office telling this, after
q silence Of two days, reads like an apol-
ogy and ON explanation.
General Warren holds the ridges. but
che enenly's positions are higher. The
British. infantry is separated by only
! 400 yards from the enemy, but an ap-
proach to the steep slopes, across the
bare open, would expose the British to q
fatal rifle fire. .s ,,.g y 3. j. s,sG 55s,.s
General Buffers plans have reached
their development. He declines to send
his infantry across this zone against
formidable positions by daylight and
discloses his purpose to assault the
Spion kopn heights during the night
This appears to be the key to the Boer
defenses: If he takes it and thus com
mands the adjacent country an ilnpor-
tant and possibly a decisive step will
have been accomplished.
Anticipating Worse News.
The Morning Post and The! Standard
touch lightly upon the unpleasant fea-
lures Of the dispatch and take hope from
the projected night attack but all
things considered the dispatch looks
like preparation for worse news.
Parliament will meet in seven days.
The cabinet has been hoping for one
rattling British success to cheer the
country and command general support
for fresh financial measures. One Of
these will probably be an increase IL the
income tax to one shilling. = ! -
Political conditions, both civil and
military, press upon the military au-
thorities the necessity of accomplishing
something, It is said Lord Roberts has
nothing whatever to do with General
Buffers operations. General Butler and

other direct. Buffers scheme was con-
ceived before Lord Roberts reached
Cape Town and it's execution was begun
