LONDON, April 1.-THE dispatches
which passed between Sir Redvers Butler
and his officers and Lord Roberts. regard
ing the sensational British reverse at
Spion Kop, were published today.
General Butler in his report TO Roberts,
condemns General Warren He says;
I'VE lost our chance by War.en's slow
ness. I ought to havs assumed command
myself
TIE & GSsshes of other officers, also
given, in&tsase that matters at the battle
Rere IN q hopeless muddle.

- cause renewed disputes and incrimina-
5ons.

sresent issue.
The covering letter of Lord Roberts en-
ssosing Buffers report to the war Office
! dated February 13. 1900, on the eve OF
Roberts own campaign.
This letter contains the following state
ment:
~ Butler thought that his orders were
not being properly executed by Sir Charles
Warren it was his duty to intervene as
soon as ne had reason to believe that the
success Of his operations was being en-
dangered. General Buffers explanation OF
his non-intereference can hardly be ac-
eepted as adequate. No personal consid-
Grafton should have deferred him
Buffers letter to the war Office dated
January 90, 1860, relating TO the fighting
on SpeaTnan's Hill shows now for the
first tine that the government deleted
the statement. I'VE had suffered very
heavily and also Buffers instructions to
Warren, now for the first time published,
containing the passage: 'fThe man whom
I an sending with you as a guide is
Devonshire man. He was employed as
boy on one OF my own farms and IS Eng
lish to the backbone and can be thorough
" trusted He thinks that if you cross
the Springfield Fiat at night he can take
you the rest Of the way to the Tugela by
9 road that cannot be overlooked by the
enemy. but you viii doubtless have the
road Teconnoitered."
After the operations, which miscarricd
entirely, Butler sent a dispatch to the
war ofiice which included such remarks
as:
Warren. instead of feeling for the
enemy. elected 70 spend two whole days n
passing his baggage. During this time
the enemy received re-enforeementg and
strengthened their position On January
IS he gained a considerable advantage.
