LONDON , Jan. 29- Following Is the
text , of General Uuller's dispatch dated
Spearman's Camp , Saturday , January
27 , 0:10 : p. in. :
"On January 20 Warren drove back
the enemy and obtained possession of
the southern ciosts of the high table
land extending fiom the line of Acton
Homes and Tlongorsport to the western
Ladyamlth hills. From then to January
25 he remained in HOMO contact with
the enomy.
"The enemy held a strong pobitlon
on a rang'1 of small kopj" ' ! stretching
from northwest to southeast across the
plateau from Acton Ilomo.'i through
Spionop to the left of the Tugola.
"The actual position held was per-
Teclly tenable , but did not lend itself
to an advance , as the nouthern slopes
were so stcop that Warren could not
set an offeutivo artillery position and
water supply was a difficulty.
"On January 211 I assented to his at-
Lacing Splonkop , a largo hill , Indeed n
mountain , which was evidently the key
lo the position , but wan far more ac
cessible from the north than from the
south.
"On the night of January 2d ho at-
lackcd Splonkop , but found it very dlf-
ilcult to hold , as Its perimeter wan too
largo , and water , whicii he had been
led to believe existed In this extraor
dinary season , was found dllllcult to
obtain. ,
, "The crests wcro held all that day
against severe attacks and a heavy
shell lire. Our men fought witli great
gallantry. 1 would especially mention
Iho conduct of the Second Ctimoronlann
and the Third King's Illllcs , who sup
ported the attack on the mountain
from the steepest side and in each case
fought their way to the top , and the
Second Lancashire Fusileora and Second
end Middlesex , who magnificently
maintained the best traditions of the
British army throughout the trying
day of January 21 , and Thornycroft's
mounted infantry , who fought tluough
the day equally well along the side of
the mountain.
"General Woodgato , who was In
command at the summit , having been
wounded , the odioor who micceedcd him
decided on the nlghi of January 21 to
abandon the position and did so before
dawn of January 25.
"I i cached Warren's camp at 5 a. in.
on January 25 and decided that a second
end attack upon Splonkop was useless
ind that the enemy's right was too
strong1 to allow mo to force it.
"Accordingly , I decided to withdraw
the forces to tlio south of the Tugela.
At ( i a. in. wo commenced withdrawing
the train and by 8 a. in. January 27
( Saturday ) Warren's force was con-
ontrated south of the Tugela without
the loss of a man or a pound of stores.
"The fact that the force could with-
Iraw from actual touch In some cases
Lhe. lines wore loss than 1,000 yards
ipart with the enemy In tnc manner
t did is I think sufficient evidence of
he morale of the troops , ami that wo
ivoro permitted to withdraw our cum-
irons ox and mule transports across
he river , eighty-live yards broad , with
\\enty-foot banks and a very swlfc em-
ent unmolested is I think proof that
ho enemy has been taught to respect
mr soldiers' fighting powers. "

MINNEAPOLIS , Jan. 29. A specla !
to the. Times from Tacoma , Wash.
Hays :
Estimates made by local shipping
men show that about 15,000 men arc
intending to reach Cape Nome by the
lira t steamers from Puget Sound and
Dawson. Two-thirds of this number
will go from Tacoma , Seattle and San
Kranclca and the balance will go down
the Yukon river from Dawson and
other Yukon towns. A great prospec
tive race Is In sight between these
twon contingents. The first arrivals
will secure the bout part of the beach ,
which will bo hi the greatest demand
beacuso beach claims may bo worked
without flumes or machinery. Accord
ing to latest advices , over half of
Dawson's population will head for
Cape Nome as fast as the Yukon
steamers wintering on the upper river
can follow the outgoing Ice down
fitream. Dawson miners have great
hopes of reaching their mccca lirst
and to accomplish this are even pre
pared to leave the steamers below Nu-
late and make a portage ot 200 miles
r.cross the Tundra.
Nearly thirty steamers , each carryIng -
Ing fromI00 ! to 1,000 passengers , are
now scheduled to sail from coast ports
between May 10 and June.

refers to the engagement , or rather scr
ies of engagements , which took plac
along the eastern and southern shoie
of Lake Taal a wok ago. There Is nt

ncrosa into the insurgents' defenses

"Tho Marietta , with Ghcen com
manding , on the 19th co-operated wltl

Bulan , Legaspl and Virac on Catan
duanos Island. The only resistance wai
at Legaspi , where five Americans wen

bering I0 ! men , evacuated the place
The natives were passive.
During the morning of January 2.r
the Nashville and Venus , with foui

fantry icglmcnt , under Major Shipton
approached Legaspi. Filipino flags were
flying and the trenches were crowded
A detachment of 150 picked nien , led
by Major Shipton , landed on the beach
about a mlle north of the town ; the
Nashville bombarded the trenches and
the enemy retreated to Albay , whence
they were easily dispersed to the hills ,
About 200 Insurgents , armed with
rifles , forced COO unwilling villagers ,
armed with bows and arrows , to serve
In the trenches in the close range street
fighting before the enemy fled. The
Filipino dead were mostly villagers ,
who were attempting to flee.
The expedition will proceed to Sainar
and Lcy'.e , where the Forty-third in
fantry and a battalion of the Third
artillery will be distributed. The na
tives complain of lack of food , result
ing from the blockade. They are

tinually strengthening their fortifica

greatly strengthened since January G

NEW YORK , Jan. 27. A dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says : The
war in the Philippines is over. No
further surrender can be hoped for.
The danger in the present situation
is that a bloody feud may arise be
tween the American army and the Fil
ipinos.
This danger can be greatly lessened
by action by congress , which is now
imperative , outlining the policy of tha
government in the Philippines. It ia
likely that many insurgents are still
holding out for the very terms which
congress will be willing to give.
The time ib ripe for a conciliatory
policy , allowing the Filipinos to have
some say as to the nature of the gov

obliged to live.
