GENERAL WHITE THOUGHT
TO BE TOO PRECIPITATE
His Experience as an Indian Fighter Unsuits
Him for Boer Tactics.
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.
