London, Jan. 6. The silence which
I has doscended on Butler's huge force at

which tho Boers are displaying around
Colesburg leads to detract from the suc

It is feared tho magistrates will not ho

A Waihke Outlook.
Ixindos, Jan. 0. (Friday, 6 a, ip.)
This morning's news throws no further
light upon the war situation. Tho ox
act position at Molteno and Cyphergat
is not vet clear, but In any case thoo
little engagements nro of little impor
tance beyond proving that tho British
forces are beginning to attain a great
degree of mobility. It is fully exacted
that the noxt week will see a heavy
battle on tho Tugola river, which Is now
ho real pivot of the campaign. The
Boers appear to Iks working incessantly
with shovel and pick,
Lord Methuen's cavalry scouting lias
doveloped the fact that tho Boers' en
trenchments extend for some 40 inllcr,
far overlapping the British positions
and making flank attacks exceedingly
dilllcult. The military analysts alllrin
that the Boers' trenches confronting
General Buller stretch away some 17
ratios, and that work on them is pushed
unremittingly.
While the advance Is delayed, flank
movements are roudored most dilllcult
because long marches are not dono with
celerity, and It is hard to time an at
tack with certainty, The extent of the
Dutch risings may now be measured
by taking a line from Prieska, on tho
west, to Her8chel or Barkly, on the
cast. Along tho whole of this line, ex
cept at the points actually occupied by
the British, the population seems for tho
most part hostile. New redoubts are be
ing built at Klmberloy, and seventeen
miles of works now encompass the town.
The admiralty program embraces tho
stationing of smalt squadrons at Durban,
Simons bay, Port Kllzaboth, Lorcnao
Marnuez, St. Vineonl, in the Cape Verdo
islands, and at Cape Town, and sending
an additional ship or two to Aden. It
Is announced that Great Britain's agentf
and detectives nro secretly watching all
Italian ports.
British Officers injured,
London, Jan. 6. A dispatch from
Ronsberg says Major Harvoy, of tho
tentli hussars was killed and Major
Alexander wounded whilo pursuing the
retreating Boers, after an attack on the
British near Colesburg.
Some Army Positions.
London, Jan. 5. It now appear that
it Is John Churchill, second son of Lady
Randolph Churchill, and not Winston
Churchill, who tuts been given com
mand of a squadron of the South African
light horso.
Lord Ilosslyn has thrown up his en
gagement at the Court theater iu order
to Join the yeomanry. The offer of Lord
Iveagh to provide at his own oxjiense
a completely equipped hospital for use
in South Africa lias been accepted.
The war otlice has invited Sir Will
iam Thompson to accept tho post of
chief surgeon to the forces iu South
Africa, Instead of censilium: surgeon.
Atound Coleskop.
IIknsueko, Jan, 5. Tho casualties of
General French's forco up to the after
noon of January 3 were five men killed
and 24 wounded.
A detachment of 2o New Zealanders
had a narrow escape. While advanc
ing on Colesburg, they were directed to
occupy a kopje, but were met with a
hot receptitn from a concealed Iioer
force. Another body of Iiritieh troops
seeing their danger, doubled to the
rescue of the New Zealanders, and
their retreat was successfully accom
plished under the cover of the guns on
the hills westward.
Coleskop is now the principal scene of
the fighting The destruction of the
wrecked train includes 22,&.) rations

Tho Americans and Europeans, espec
