Or Aaaoolatail lrcaa ta the Journal.
London, Jan. 25. The Jubilation over
Warren's achievement in capturing
Splonkop Tuesday night Is chastened by
tho realization that tho success is only
provisional, as It appears clear from Dul
ler's dispatch that tho Boers lind not
abandoned the hope of re-capturlng the
position. Nevertheless, n heavy load of
anxiety has been removed from tho na
tion, and there is n genoral expectation
that tho British will manage to retain it
until Warren plants kuiib enough to
dominate tho Roer trendies right and

According to Uullor's dispatch tho
small garrison was surprised." His
subsequent statement that "our losses

Rritlsh suffered greatly from tho shell
Are from tho further Roer position. Tho
statement that there was only a small
garrison at Splonkop came as a surprise,
and it is taken In some quarters to Indi
cate that the Boors wore not so sur
prised ns it npeared, but previously
drew off their main body and left n
smell force to withstand tho British ad
vance. It is even suggested that tho
Boers have Involuted tho British Into
occupying Splonkop, nnd have now
surrounded them.
Oenetal Warren's Victory.
London, Jan. 25. The war ofllco has
just issued the following dispatch from
Spearman's enmp, dated January 25,
12:10 u. m.:
"General Warren's troops last night
occupied Splonkop, surprising tho small
garnton, who tied.
"It has beon held by us nil day,
though we woro heavily attacked es
pecially by a very nnnoylng aholl fire.
"I fear our casualties are considerable,
and I havo to Inform you, with regret,
that General Woodgato was dangerously
wounded.
"General Warren Is of the opinion
that he has rendered the enemy's po
sition untenable. The men nro
splendid."
Prospects and Probabilities.
" London, Jan. 25. (Thursday, 4:15 a.
in.) The assemblage in Pall Mall, out
side tho war office, und those privileged
to wait In tho lobbies, reluctantly dls
persed at midnight aftor tho final word
that nothing would ho announced. The
topography maps show that Splonkop Is
the highest part of tho rocky plateau.
Eastward about elcht miles nro tho
Boor positions along the Tugola river,
General Bullor's infantry, to reach tho
summit of Splonkop, must cross a nat

Six thousand treeps awaited his (arrival
at Capo Town, and since then 0,000 oth-
ors have reached thore. The military
critics are all hoping that a goott Isliaro
of theso 12,000 have gono to help Gen

days' wait may mako him strong qnougli
to ovorcomo tho deadlock. .
Thoro aro 10,000 troops nt sca,'and this
heavy weight on the British side is ex
pected to destroy tho equilibrium now
existing on every field of operations.
Tho British loss up to dnte, In killed ,

European Estimate!..
Bkhlin, Jan, 23. Tho German press
tacticians aro almost unanimously of the
opinion that tho situatlen of thb Brit
ish forces around Ladysmith Is desper-
rato. Tho Berliner Tagoblatt prints a
Brussels speolal claiming that Sir'
Charles Warren has been signally do-1
fented. The mllltory writer for the
Kreuz Zeltung says, tho movement to
relieve LadySmlth has failod rendering
tho British lino of retreat endangered.

London, Jan. 25. Tho correspondent
o' the Times at Lourenco Marques, tele
graphing Tuesday, says : Tho wholesale
expulsion of British subjects now re
maining In tho Transvaal Is expected
noxt week.
Tho Fronch liner Glronde has arrived

TranBvaal consul general here, has ar
ranged for tholr conveyance to Pretoria
by a special train.
Wednosday morning all passengers
booked for the Transvaal vere stopped

tion ol the members of the Russia n

London, Jan. 25. A correspondent of
the Times at Moddor River, telegraph

"Tho reports of deserters agrco that
the situation of tho Boers at Magers

tho camp Is unsanitary, enteric rover

On tho other hand the health or the
British camp Is satisfactory, although

London, Jan. 25. Tho Dally Tele

from Spearman's rarm, datod Tuesday,
January 23, 0:30 p. in.:
"Slonday, Sir Charles Warren's force

A lyddlto battery co-operated with the

the fire was hoavy, causing tho enemy
serious lowes. Tho Doers, however,
clung desperatoly to their works, from

Nkw Yohk, Jan. 25. A special to the Herald from Washington euy: Tho
proposition mndo by the Fillphio lender, Mablnl, for a civil commission to treat
with tho Filipinos will not bo considered by tho administration until Agulnaldo
surrenders, nnd In olllclal circles the general deposition Is to regard Mabini's re
quest as another play for delay.
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith snys of Mnblni's messagu:
"A proposition of Agulnaldn's regent for making tho dosires" of tho Filipinos
known to the civil rcpresontolUes of this government Is perfectly feasible. It is
nil In Aguualdo's own hands. Ho knova perfectly veil tho terms of poacu, which
mean snrrendor, acknowledgment of American sovereignty nnd tho fullest meas
ure of sclf-govoinmonu, which ulll bo framed after fully ascertaining tho de
sires aud capabilities of tho Filipinos."
Other administration olllclals rend in a friendly spirit the message from Seiior
Mablnl. In effect they soy that Sonor Mablnl Is requesting Just what tho ad
ministration has contemplated doing for tho Filipinos.
