ROBERTS’ NEXT MOVE. Th. British Arm, Will Now Advance Through the Free State. London, Jan. 81.—History pauses for a time in South Africa. It is one of those unsatisfactory pauses that are nearly as trying to British nerves a. a sequence of reverses, and apparently it will terminate only when Lord Roberts gives the word for the forward move ment into the Free State, which, i'u cording to the most cheerful view, will be unable to do for a fortnight.] Whether he will permit General Buller to make another attempt to relieve Ladysmith is quite outside the know-1 ledge even of those closely connected with the war office. With the tioops due to arrive next month he may think himself strong enough to try two large operations. Combining the forces under Generals Methuen, French and Gatacre, and adding to them the arriving troops. Lord Roberts would nave 70,000 for the invasion of the Free State, with 40.000 to 50,000 guarding communications, and 40,000 trying to rescue Ladysmith. The public burns with impatience that something should be done, but there is nothing to do but wait on the preparations. Oceans of ink are poured out in advice. Orators are at work in the provinces, telling the people that England has set her teeth in grim de termination to see it through. The government’s declarations in parliament, the counter-declarations of those outside the government and the consequent discussion in the press and on the platform will immediately en thrall the public interest. The thing on which everybody seems agreed is that more men must go. Twenty thousand two hundred and twenty-two men and 155 guns are at. sea. Eleven thousand infantry and 9,000 cavalry, including 5,000 yeomen, are practically ready to embark. Therefore, the government, without doing more, can place at the disposal of Lord Roberts 40.000 additional men and 155 guns. The further purposes of the war officials are supposed to em brace somewhat iu the neighborhood of 50,000 men. As the indication is that candidates will be rather scarce, the war office will issue orders for those reservists who were found unfit at the previous mobilization examinations to report for further examination. Appli cants for cavalry service are still freely offering as yeomanry. General Buller’s operations has cost 912 men so far officially reported with in 10 days. Applying to the 206 Spionkop casualties rejorted today the rule of proportion, the loss of officers indicates 500 casualties yet to come. The total casualties of the war, compiled from official reports, are 9,523—nearly a division. Of these 2,486 were killed, 4,811 wounded, and the rest are prisoners. The aggregate British home troops in South Africa number 116,000, the Natalians 7,158, and Cape Colonials 21,000. The war office announces that no further news has been received from South Africa, except a report from Lord Roberts that the situation is unchanged. MONEY FOR THE BOERS. Administration Will Refnne to Forward It on Neutrality Ground«. New York, Jan. 31.—A special to the World from Washington says: The fear of offending Great Britain anil provoking a protest would cause the administration to decline to comply with the request of Dr. I’reetorius, of St. Louis, who, it is said, has for warded to Secretary Hay money and letters expressing sympathy with the Boers, which he asks to be sent to President Kruger through the Ameri can consul at Pretoria. It is indicated that the state department will take the ground that it would be a violation of the neutrality laws for this government to give financial aid to a belligerent. It is pointed out that this request differs from the request made by the American consul at Pretoria in behalf of Great Britain to be permitted to for ward money to be used by the British sick and wounded in the purchase of delicacies, in that the latter request is made by ore belligerent of another, using a neutral as means of communi cation. Robber Gang Run Down. Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 31.—A report has reached this city that a posse of Union Pacific detectives, headed by Tom Horn, had run down two of the Union Pacific train robbers in the Hole in the Wall, and after a desperate fight, killed both of them. One of the pur suing party was shot, bat it is thought not seriously. It is known that the robbers separated in two gangs after leaving the railroad, and the men re- jsirted killed were those who were trailed through the mountains so close ly and afterwards escaped. It is supposed they returned to the Hole in the Wall when they thought the pursuit was over, and the detectives have l>een watching the rendezvous ever since, until they got their men. D m I s I by Ezrta. Oakland, Cal., Jan. 31.—Carlos F.zeta, ex-president of San Salvador, has returned to his home here after a trip of four months’ duration to Mex ico. It was reported at the time of hi» departure that he proposed to regain his lost power if possible, but he denies that such was his intention. Rlizznrd in T« im . Austin, Tex., Jan. 30.—South and Central Texas were today visited by a fearful blizzard, which increased in severity as the night grew, and from present indications will be the worst blizzard of the winter. The tempera ture has fallen 30 degrees since noon. In many respects Wisconsin’s leaf tohacco is superior to any other domes tic product. Some of the l>est brands of Havanas are rolled from Wisconsin stock.
