BULLER MEETS PEFEAT More Recruits From London Brings the Total Britisli Army Up to 194,000 Men. Mr Aaaoclnted I'reaa to the Journal. London, Fob. 0. Tho nous of another retirement by Bailer's forces is exceedingly bitter to tho British, and though it comes from Boor Bources there Is but lltllo disposition to disregard It. London, Feb. 0. There Is still no news of Buller's doings today or yester day. Beyond tho fact that Buller do voted Wedesday to bringing nioro ar tillery and troop across tho Tugcla, nothing is known of his movements, but that ho badly needed reinforcements is very uvidunt. It is reasonable to sup. poso that his guns and reinforcements wcro in position yesterday, and that an important advanco is now progressing, or, at least, that tho bombardment pre liminary to tho actual movement of troops is in progress. Almost all tho critics point out that a more pushing through to ljiaysmlth, without securing a decisive victory on the way there, would only Add danger to tho already critical situation. MacDonald's retirement from Koods dorp has created great disappointment, but the operation was apparently only intended os a sortio. Tho rumor thot Ladysmlth bus been rollovcd again, is current today, but tho war olllce author ities havo no coullnnatlon of tho report. British Retire. ltoKit Hkad LAAat.it, Ladysmlth, Feb. 8. The Urltlsh who were in possession of tho kopje at Moles Drift havo aban doned it after Iwinbardmcnt this morn Inc. and retired across the Tugola to their former position. More English Recruits. London, Feb. 0. George Wyndhnm, parliamentary secretary of tho war of- llco, said tho government has decided to send soventecn inoro battalions of mili tia and 3,000 yeomanry to South Africa. Tho total number of troops in South Africa, ho added, would then be 104,000 effectives. A British Defeat. HkadLaaoer, Ladysmitii, Feb, 7. An armored train inado a sortie Tuedny, from Chlovoley towards Colenso, and lauded 2,000 British troops on tho right of tho Boer position. Tho Boors Immc di ttely made an attack, forcing tint with drawal of both tho train and tho troop?. The fighting on upper Tugola lasted un til Tuesday evening. 'Juesday's Battle. London, Feb. fl, The Dally Ttlegraph has received the following dispatch, l.tted February fl, from Spearman's "This is the xecond day of I ho battle, EELS are here to do 1900 vd " "L yt- ()li(iiiili;s M spaulding ENROUTE TO LADYSMITH and tho fighting has bcon fiercer than it was yesterday. At dawu the Boers began the action by shelling our btvouack by their "Long Tom" and Pompon gnus from Doornkloof. Tholr six-inch shells fell near the spot where General Bullet-, and his staff wore watching tho engngo-i ruout. One shell burst amid a squadron' of tho Thirteenth hussars, but not a soul was touched. "Our guns from Zivartkop and on tin plain soon silenced tho enemy's artillery but repeatedly tho Boers brought back their onns, iwihxI thorn into work over the hills, fired a few lounds nnd then again changed their position. During tho motning our gunners succeeded lit blowing ttpttho enemy's ammunition wagon upon Doornkloof. "General Lyttloton's brigado was shot ut from three sides, and had a warm time upon Vualkrantz. Dosperate effort were mado by tho Boers to recover the smoking hill. Tho Durham light in fantry, the King's royal riilcs and tho Scottish rilles gallantly charged and cloared the position. General Ulld yard's brigade relieved Goneral Lyttle ton's brigade toward sunset. Tho fight ing continued until II. "Several prisoners hau been takon. They dcclnrc that tho Boors, yesterday lost heavily Tho enemy suffered se verely today. It is reported that among their dead In tho trenches armed Knlllrs wero found." More Millions Wanted, IajndoN, Fob. U. -A parliamentary paper, issued this afternoon, estimates that Blxty-fivo million dollars additional will be required for war oxpenses for the period cudlng March, 31, Some British Estimates. London, Feb. 0. I n. in. All mes sages from tho observers with Genoix nl Duller throw in a phrasoor two about "tho strougth of tho Boor positions." and "tho difficulties of General Buller'a work," but they do not carry events be yond Tuesday evening. Their last slender narratives leavo tho British ad vanco on Vnal Krantr, in the centre of tho scml-circlo, whero tho troops aru ex posed to tho Boor artillery on both sides ntid in tho centre. Fighting continued until 0 o'clock Tuesday evening, and almost without a doubt continued Wednesday, as the Boers would not leavo this wedguluto their lines unmolested. It Is also In ferred that Goneral Duller must either continue hi advanco or rotire. The heaviest fighting appears to have bcon on Tuesday. Gcnoral Buller'a 233 cas ualties are mentioned as having occurred before noon Tuesday. Largo lists are consequently expected for tho rest of tho day. Tho casualties already repor ted brings tho total of tho British losses during tho war to 10.2H killed, woun ded and captured. Tho disposition hero is rather to mini mize tho importance of tho fighting in Natal, and to suggest that this is only an incident, anyway, placing hoKi upon the exiected decisive engagements in Northern Capo Colony, and upon tho In vasion of the Frco State by Lord Holnirts, At all events, this is tho official view,. The public does not llko these new waits, and there Is a sharp anxiety for further news. In Capo Colony, General Mc Donald has had a skirmish with 1000 Boers at Koodooborg. This was on Mon day. The Boors have been taking tho offenslvo against General trench near HensburK, as woll as sgalnst General Gatacro In the Sturmlwrg hills. Since the war has strained tho re sources of tho military system, Kngland has Inten troubled with a possibility that her sea fighting will now show naval defects which would weaken tho first lino of the defenso, in which the country has pluced such complete trust. Public men have been painfully stir prised to learn that sixteen battleships and eight armored cruisers depend upon muzzle-loaders. This means that a smaller but faster ship, with modern guns, would 1m able to stay 1000 or 2000 yards out of range, and disable about one-third of thu vessels which appe.tr In the naval list as "first class." The ad miralty Is understood to be preparing to remedy this defect. 'the supplementary army bill, estima ted to March 31st, was laid beforo the house of commons yesterday. It Is reported that tho call is for 120,000,000, which would make the cost of the war up to that date 30.000.000. Tho malntainanco of 200,000 men at thu front, it is estimated, costs between X8.000.000 and 10,000,000 per month. English (suggestions. London, Feb. 0.

Tho country should take a lesson from our military experience, and do everything possible to insure tho maintenance of tho navy In tho highest stnto of efficiency. To wait for a war to break out before wo begin to Improvise appliances which, by proper foresight, can bo better and more cconomlenllv provided lwforohand, is to court disaster."

Fhankfoiit, Feb. 9 Governor Taylor has sent out .telegrams to thu gontlc men In ull parts of tho Btnto who havo showered him with advlco, urging htm to stand firm nnd not surrendor anything, asking thorn to bo In Frankfort Saturday morninc.
