Veterans at the claim und the military
writers in the morning primula busied
themselves with patching up their the
ories. Change wero running upon the
two main themes tho necessity for tlio
clearance of the south bank before the
pussnguof tho Tugelu cuuld be ultemptod,
und the probability that Warren's di
vision would maku a wide detour and
cross the river seventeen miles below
CoIoiibo. General Kuller's delay in
operating in front of his foree seemed nn
insuperable objection to the first theory,
and there were only two facts to be cited
in support of the lnltor conjecture. These
wero the establishment of Warren's
headquarters as far down as Estcourt
und tho apparent occupation of Weeueu
by British troops, since one prebs dis
patch which slipped through tiie censor's
hands deecribed an exchange of flash
light signals with those of the vlllinge.
General Holler hits succeeded in eon
fusing and bewildering tliu English pub
lic, if hu has not dusted and confounded
the Boer generals.
General French has roported a recon
naissaneo nu tho enemy's (lank, in which
u eonsidurwblu force was drawn out, then
allowed to retire. A fqiuulrun of tho
Household cavalry had an accounting in
thiti movement. French's objective
point in theso manouvurn has not been
disclosed, but it is probable that General
Cronji has sent reinforcements to the
Free Staters on tlio southern frontier

London, Jan. 10. Tho plight of Brit

doubtful if tho conservatives would re

majority of tho past season. The pent
up dissatisfaction with tho government1!!
lack of energy in waging the war is no
longer concealed.
When such ardent conservative papers
as tho 'I i m i a and tiie Globe come out
boldly with reproof, thero is no knowing
whore tho agitation will end. The tiro-
