BULLEK IN CRITICAL POSITION

Oiierntlon.
LONDON , Jan. 27. Mr. Spencer Wilkin
son , whoso articles on the war situation
tavo attracted much attention here and
abroad , wrote the following review of the
situation for the Associated Press nt mid
night , and after tbo War office had given
out a telegram from Lord Hoberts dated at
Capetown , Saturday , saying there was no
change In the situation :
"The affair of Splonkop appears very like
a reverse at the decisive pdlnt of the battle ,
According to General Bullor's telegiam ,
General Warren determined to take the hill
bccauso It commanded the enemy's othoi
positions. Having taken it Tuesday night ,
ho abandoned it Wednesday night , presu
mably because he waa unable to bold It.
"Tho published words of General Buller'e
telegram have the tone in which a rovers *
is annoUucedi-AVhethor the mishap can bi
made good it is impossible to say.
"A general attacking has , to some ex
tent , the power of making his own dcclalvi
point. General Warren may yd win success
at Rome other point , or he may retakf
Splonkop and keep It ; but unless in one waj
or another the battle now going on can be
won or not there Is no probability of Lady-
smith being relieved.
"General Buller's army , unless successful
will bo in a critical position , for Its retreal
would bo a difficult opoiatlon. The mall
Boer force Is as near to any point on tin
railway as is General Warren's wing ol
Bullet's army ; and tbo Boers have the ad'
vantage of speed. For this reason , as wcl
as because of the Importance of his pur
pose to relieve General White , wo may cv
pect General Buller to do his very utmos
before giving up the attempt ; and in till :
neccshity lies the Brltibh hope of success.
"The Ameiican civil war showed hov
rifled firearms , by rendering assault dllll-
cult , produced battles lasting several days
and as since then the inngo and late o
fire have been greatly increased , the pro
longatlon of the duration of battles was ti
bo expected. But without a fuller knowledgi
than the telegrams as yet afford It Is no
yet pcf-slblo cleaily to Interpret the cpl
sodcs of the unfinished fight.
"The report from Boor sources that Mafe >
king had been relieved-Is credible , for Cole
ncl Plumcr has been persistently worklni
In that direction and there has been timi
slnco ho wab last hcaid of , near Gaberoncs
for him to cover the Intervcnlns distance
Moreover , the BOUJH have wisely been con

( Copj right , 1900 , by I'lVNi Publishing Co. )
LONDtN , Jan. 27 ( Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) This is thu
blackest day England has experienced oven
in the period of the almost unrelieved
gloom It has recently been passing through.
London is dlstiaught by a succession of
rumors of the grave predicament of Wui-
ren's force. The alleged breakdown of the
west coast cable IH regarded BO a sure pie-
cuisor of evil tidings and the public mind
U apparently prepared though not recon
ciled to expect the worst.
Then the belated confession of the war
olllco that the 201 casualties publlohcd yes
terday as SplonKop losses Mere really In.
curred by Lyttleton's brigade In the en
gagement at Potgletersdrlft , not heretofore
reported , is taken to indicate that only a
small part of the story of Buller's calamitous
turning movement Is yet revealed.
The War office Is known to have received
long dispatches , which wcro before the
cabinet committee of defense at n hurriedly
summoned meeting this afternoon. Cham
berlain was to have addressed a meeting at
Birmingham tonight , but sent a telegram
this afternoon saying It was Impossible for
him to leave London. The report IH froeljr
current that Warren , together with a. force
of 4,000 men , had been cupturod , wlitlo nn-
other rumor la that his garrison at Splonkop
got completely beyond control and fled hel
ter-skelter from terrific Boer shell and mus
ketry fire.
llaller'n DlMpntt'linililKnonn. .
The ambiguous terms of Buller's dispatch ,
especially hU employment of the words "I
find , " were tuKen to Indicate1 that he had no
direct communication with Warren and was
Ignorant of what had become of him , while
the entire absence of news of Dundonald'H
cavalry bilgade for some days now creates
the profoundest alarm concerning his fate.
To say the failure of Buller's plan to relieve
lievo Ladysmlth Is locognlj'ed conveys no
adequate Idea of the feeling of absolutely
hopeless despair porxadlng all classes of
Englishmen. Confidence in the army IB com
pletely shattered , while the utter Impotenry
of the government is so plainly demonstrated
that the outlook is regarded as blankly hope
less.
Panic dors not describe the position. U I :
one of national paraljsls. The fatal foimulu
that "tho war must bo curried through" Is
still repeated , not In tones of manful reso
lution , but of gibbering frenzy. History nf-
fordn 'no pntallpl to the swift and li repar
able collate of Biltish prestige In the fare
of the Boer lepubllc's Invincible defense of
their Independence.
Aliovo and beyond thn South Afiican

that Franco and UUFsla are rapidly matur
