THE SPECULATIONS IN LONDON CLUPS Feeling of General Distrust and Fears of a Serious Disaster to English Arms Freely Expressed On All Sides. NRW YORK, Oct. 81. A dispatch to the Tribune from London say: Tivjre was a general fooling of uneaa Inois at every London club luu loot night when tho bulletin from the war ortlce wni pouted. Early In the diiy there had been rumors thin th Boer hail advanced on Lady.mlth and hod beffun i Wo of shell with their 40 pounders, but that tho British artillery hail alknood 'the Boer guns. It wna also reported that General Joubert had or dered an ntvance In great number, up on tho British left flank and that a bat tlo u In progross. Oenorul White's report, or ao much of It a. the war omoo oho9 to give out, described an IndeclHlvo ongaKomont pre coded by. a mysterious movement to clear his left (lank, with no details of the return of the two battalions of tlio Royal Irish Fuslleers and the Gloucester regiment. Experts shook their heads solemnly In commenting upon General White's mulei and his doubtful expressloi'-of hopo that the guns of tha. mountain hn tterv would bo recovered. As for the jreneral engagement It was clear thnt General White had brought It on and had not been attacked by General Joubort, If he were In command. Gen eral Whlto had cnt out two brigade divisions of artillery and five battalions of infantry, covered by the cavalry un der General French, to attack the po sition where the enemy hod planted tliulr guns. maxl In groat strength and prepared to fall back upon their reserves. The HrltUh were drawn for several miles but finally returned to oamp after an Indecisive engagement of several hours. Nut u single line of this dispatch could lo niado to spoil out a victory. The disappearance of Ihe Irish Funl leers and the Gloucetor roKlmont with a mountain battery was a myntery which baflled the Ingenuity of the op timists who attempted to explain It. There was a general fooling of dlrtlrust at midnight and fears were expressed at every club house that a sorloug re verse was Impending, especially as the Poor guns were admitted to have a longer range than tho BrIUsh field artillery. Experts In tho many clubs frankly confessed thnt the British soldiers who have been accustomed to fight reckless ly with savage tribes, such as the Sou dan Dervishes, were at a disadvantage 'in meeting cool, war foes like the Boers, who made a practloe of falling back upon their reserves and luring their assailants Into ambush. It was also generally conceded that the Boers were hanging buck and were not seeking to make an attack Defore they were ful ly prepared to give battle. The arrival of General Bullcr will probably tend to hasten a decisive contest since he will be on the ground and General White can reoeive orders from him to take the offensive, Tho two netrerals are close friends and have illV ffio nv. " t - v t.tw n - -' - hud been, but were further behind, been Intimately associated in devising the general phins of the military opera tions. When SMr lU-dvers Bullors milled from Knglund there was without d"Ubt an understanding lx-twen them tint the Held force in Natal should remain on the defensive so far as possible until the urrlval of the army corps and should not reKal Sir George Colt'y's f,itnl mistake of attacking a superior forcv and attempting to rush the Boers as though thy were Afrlls or Tvr vlshes. ?1 General Iluller was ivported by Inti mate friends on the eve of his depar ture of being apivhenslve that Gen eral White's combative Instinct as an ol.l Indian fighter would overpower him and that he would not have the pa tience required for a purely defensive campaign. There was no ground for the reports that there was any feeling of Jealousy between the two gonornlg and thnt General Whlto would seek to end the campaign by a series of decisive blows and leave nothing In reserve for General Buller exoept the direction of a grand holiday parade through tho capitals of the two republics. When General Buller Is once at the headquarters at tho Cape he becomes responsible for General White's man euvers nnd Is not likely to allow him to remain an Idle spectator while the Boers are massing their forces around Lndysmlth and seeking to break off communication with the sea. General White's forces ore not post ed In the broad upland valley where Ladysmlth lies, but strongly entrenched on the hills 400 or 500 feet above It. There will he high ground in the am- pltheatn- of the hills where the Boers can mass their forces and train their long range guns, but General White has naturally selected the most defen sible position commanding the ap proaches of the town. The Boers have already been testing the range, but are proceeding with deliberation and cau tlon. Military writers in today's papers, who are called upon to supply theories and surmises since the censorship shut3 off any precise Information agree that Ganeral Joubert Is not likely to begin an assault with any determination until several bridges are destroyed and wires are cut betweo.i Lndysmlth and the sea. General White's line of communica tion with Durban is 189 miles by rail way and can be menaced rrom me Orange Free State passes, or any por- j i,.n f the Boer forces operating be low La.ijgmlth. The Boer commanders have cut oommunleatln at half a doxen points on the western bonier and Oen tral Joubert Is expiated to follow simi lar taetlcs before attacking Ladysmlth In ureal fore -. General White evident ly Is not content to wait behind ln tienehments while communication with his base Is threatened and General JouIxti's army Is gradually massing HKuinst him. General Buller will have talis upon him for reinforcements from every quarter on his arrival at the Cape. The military writers do not venture to fore- cast whether he will divert the earliest battalions, which are expected to land ten days hence, to Natal or to Klmber tey. There Is a general agreement among military men that he will expect thy beleagured garrisons to hold their ground for a few weeks and that he will carry out his original plans of at tacking the capital, sine this will be the most practical method of weaken ing and drawing off the Dutch forces from ladysmlth and Klmberley. It will also enable General White's army to co-operate Anally In an advance upon Pretoria. England is so easer for America's moral support that the announcement that Admiral Schley would take a strong squadron to the Cape la Inter preted as a sign of sympathy. Good feeling la also read between the lines of the utterances coming from the state department on the subjeots of non-intervention and neutrality. FREEBORN & CO.
