It had been determined to keep se

AN UNEXPECTED APPEARANCE.
LONDON, Feb. 3. A dispatch to a

says:
I Th, aimearance of the Hying column
of ai outs In Zululand has created some

hurriedly withdrawn from Ladysmlth

DULLER AGAIN
ON THE A10YE
Ladysmlth Must Be Relieved If It
Costs Ten Thousand Lives.
SPENCER WILKINSON'S VIEW
It Is Considered t .Moral Impossibility
for the Army to Leave White's
Garrison to Its Fate.
LONDO.V, Feb. 4.-8pencer Wilkln-
aon writes the following review of the
altuatlou In ftouth Africa for the As-
s'Minted Preva, at midnight:
"It is morally Impossible for Culler's
am-, so long as there Is any fight left
to It, to ait atlll while Sir Gcorgt White
la Invented at Ladyamlth. Better than
that would be to lose 10,000 men in at
tempting at lta relief.
''Accordingly It is probable that Gen
eral ltuller will try again and, indeed,
that he in now on the move and fight
ing." LONDON. Feb. 3. The officer of
the war office at midnight says that no
Important late news has been received
fn-ni South Africa and that none will
be given out during the night.
BCLLER'S PLANS UNKNOWN.
Every Indication, However, Points to a
Renewal of the Ladysmlth
' Relief.
NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Vtry little
news of the situation in South Africa
has been given out in London during
the past twenty-four hours. Much
work is in progress on the southern
frontier r 1 Free Stw'tftoui-the eW
talla are being held back until results
enn be reported. That Is the Impres
sion made by such dispatches as are
allowed to come through from Sterks
troon and French's camp near Coles
burg. The report that the Boer losses
at Siucnkop on Wednesday last ex
ceeded 1,000 dead, although uncon
firmed, ha treated a favorable Impres
sion and very few are disposed to dis
credit u.
The Morning Leader believes that
General Ruller has begun a movement
tovard Ladysmlth. The article says:
"General Buller probably engaged
soon after noon yesterday (Friday) if
all his artillery and munitions had
come up. In any case, his orders were
definite for an advance ut the 'atest
this morning.
."There is no reason to suspect that
the direction is that of Dundonald's re
connaissance towards Hongerspool,
elo&e to Bethany, although some caval
ry and horse artillery may go by :hat
way, so us to operate on or perhaps be
yond the Acton Homes road.
"We are Inclined to believe General
Puller means to pound out of existence
any Boors or any v oika lying on the
river near the junction of the Little
Tugela. If he sueoeeda In establishing
himself there on the northern bank he
will virtually have turned Uie Boer
positions at Onlerbrook and Grobeler's
Kloof, overlooking Colenso. This would
mean the splitting-of the Boer forces
or. the south of Ladysmlth. Frobably
General White would be able to help
the effort by occupying with energy
the remaining bodies of the enemy."
. There Is no actual newms to support
the statement of the Leader, but sv
eiul of the London morning papers pro
fess to believe that General Buller is
pushing Ladysmlth.
Warren's troops on Wednesday were
still resting south of the Tugela, while
General Lytlleton's brigade held Its
posit ion on the north bank.
General Joubert has gone lo the Uoer
carnp on the ITpper Tugtia, an aprar
out indication that he expects another
attack on his right. The Boers arc ex
hiblllng considerable anxiety In regard
to the movement of the Bi Irish flying
column which started through, Zulu
land in the direction of Varyheld about
the time that General Buler began his
move toward SpringilclJ. Boer rein-
forccmenU from about Ladysmlth
have been hurried back to protect their
lines of communication northward.
General Chur.Vs Tucker, who came
from India to (ommnnl the Seventh
division has gone up to Modder river.
This seems to indicate that the troops
of that division which ire now arriving
on the Cape wlli, as well as those of
the Sixth division under Kully-Kenny,
be utilised alon tho border of the
Free State and take part In the pros
pective Invasion.
The reported activity of Colonel
riunur's force near CrocoiuV pool,
im re than ten dts a?o. Id a good sign
that a strong effort will be ma le by
him to push through lo Mafeklng,
which had evidently not been relieved
at the time the Boer advices so
stated.
The Rood effect of Mr. Wyndham's
ipeech In explanation of th war of
fice s good work Is apparent In the
coiiiiuoiii. ipd in the preKs. The union
ists spoKe with In rta'l confidence
s me they could refer to the unhue re
roro of the war onVe In railing and
oispauhlng V,wiO troops for foreign
lit-admitted that the government
wa fie from the reproach of Incapa
city In the management in the admin,
istrallve details. The opposition press
his persisted for wek in exaggerat
ing the resources of the Djleh and
minimizing the. British xlrengtli,
wliereaa tr R.ier army has alreaty
rassed Its maximum point and is de
clining and wiarlng away while ihe
British reinforcements are t-uJlly ar
riv.'ng. The most seimllcnjl fI.!.i of last
night's debate In the coiim-on was 3ir
Edward Clarke's proposal that Lord
Rosebiiry shoi'ld be sent to the Cap
as a sutstltut.? for Sir Alfred Milner.
It v. a received with Jeers by tlic min
Isieiial party and the Irish members
hardly knew whether to express ap
proval or condemnation, for Lcrd Rose-
bury is not their candidate, for any of
fice, angry as thty may b! with Mr.
Chamberlain.
The first b.Kch of woundel belonging
to the naval contingent serving In
So.iih African has arrived In England.
They art mostly skilled gunners. They
say that the Boar's MaxIm-.Virden-felot's
one-pound quick-firing guns
have a most demoralizing effect on the
Biitish. These guns are made in Eng
land but they are jut supplied to the
L'riiiiih troops.
A dispatch to a London paper from
rietermarl(zbi.rg says:
' The appearance of the flying column
of scouts in Zululand created some un
easiness amon-' the Boers over the
bolder. A number of Boers hae been
hurriedly withdrawn from Ladysmlth
nnd Dundee to Vryiuld to protect that
place and oppose any British advance.
The Boer force there is al,ut 1000
strong with three guns."

GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES.
President Has Decided to Establish ai
Civil Administration at Once.
NEW TORK, Feb. 3. According to
Washington correspondent of the Trib
une. Preridjnt McKinlev has deemed
not to wait for congress to act upon
the matter of replacing the military
goernment by a civil administration
lr. the Philippines, recognizing that
muen time will be consumed In delib
erating over details and before any
comprehensive plan for the government
of the islands can be adopted and that
n.ore than a month will be required
after that time for the officials to reach
their stations.
I( has be-.n decided, therefore, to
send ort three or at most Ave commis
sioners to establish provisionally the
form of territorial government recom
mended in the report of the Philippine
rop inission, sent to conttress today.
Aecording to present Intentions the
newi oi me new commission Is eventu- j ci ntrolled the action of the full cau
a!ly to become the governor of the ter- eus. and abridged the right of Individ-
ritory of the Philippines, its secretary
wld become the secretary of the terrl -
torj and a third member Is to be se -
locled with a view to his qualification's
to becoming the presiding Justice of the
territorial supreme court w hen it is es
tablished. Amoi g the men who have been al
ready canvassed for membership of
this commission are Governor Roose
velt. President Schurmann, Robert P,
Porter, Colonel Denby, General Fred
erick D. Grant and ex-Mlr.ister Bar
rett It has been foundnhat Governor
Roosevelt and President Schurmann
cann.it be Induced to accept and vari
ous objections have been raised to tho
others as possible gov ernors of the ter
ritory. General Grant is said to be
most favorably regarded Just now, but
It Ik desired to avoid choosing a mili
tary man. The leading candidate for
the secretaryship of the territory is
said to be John R. MacArthur, secre
tary of the present commission.
The president has given his hearty
approval to the recommendations of
the Philippine commission, especially
as to the advisability of immediately
supplanting martial law in those por
tions of Luzon and the other islands
which have been 'effectually pacified
and in which the Inhabitants are not
only capable of s mie. measure of felf-
go ri niiu nt, bul ait bitterly opposed
