Tacitiy says He Counsesed Surrender
of Ladysmith.

Sir Redvers Butler. who gained promi-
nence In the early part u the Transvaal
war because he was SO repeatedly defeat
ed by the Beers, has been stung by press
critics into tacit acknowledgment that
after his defeat at Colenso, on Dec. 10,
1899, he photographed a message adyis-
ing Sir George Stewart-White to surren-
der Ladysmith, with its garrison of r.
600 British soldiers. The admission has
created an extraordinary sensation
throughout England, and Gen. Butler is
denounced severely.
Gen. Butler has been goaded by the
press for his repeated failures in the
early part of the war, and his critics have
been especially active since his recent
appointment to command an army corps.
In a speech Gen. Butler denounced his
critics and asserted that nobody junior
to him in rank was better fitted to com
mand an army corps.
Gen. Buffers speech has made a tire
mendous stir. The newspapers are di-
vided in their opinions of it. Several
papers declare that his explanation that

with their partsans the moment their
father died, and therefore cannot be said
to have acquiesced in the accession of
their brother. Habib Uilah, Indignant at
their fight, has taken measures to defend
the capital and sent strong detachments
to prevent their return, or to endeayor
to capture them as rebels"
The future of Afghanistan may be said
to depend almost entirely upon this new
rulers personality. His legal title to the
throne could not be better than it is but,

his own course. Zone must be a lion if
one would govern wolves" No title is

His greatest weakness appears TO lie
in the fact that he is unpopular because
a certain stigma attaches to his birth.
Though he is the oldest of the living sons
of his father, his mother. the third wife
of that potentate, had been slave girl,
and it is urged that a man of such de-
scent is not worthy of the throne.

ago, when he served with distinction on

benches in Indiana. lie also served an
Indiana district as Representative In
Congress during the terms of 1871 and

He acted as counsel in the Star Route
