'- -T m V?i ifw v wttv TOO fiOnO HOLD General Warren Abandons Pv sition Captured. THE FIRE Of BOERS WAS TOO FIERCE Had Range of 11111 and Unci It to Ad vantageLondon Flunked In (Itooiu Otherwise C'lierrfiilNrwd Falls to DUpcl Dark Forebodings. i A dispatch from London, dated Jan uary 27, at 4 a. m., Bays: Seven da.VH of lighting l,ttve )eft the main Hour posi tion Intact, and General Holler's army 700 weaker, nccoullng to the official casualty lists, which seemingly do not include the Splon kop losses, as those last forwarded do not mention General Woodgato's wounding. England is possessed with a depress ing bcnsc of failure, although not a word of criticism of her generals and Midlers is uttered. Not much effort Is made to place a happy construction upon General Hullcr's bare eighteen words telling of the retirement from Splon kop, und there Is an uneasy im pression abroad that worse news is yet to come, At one of the military clubs tonight the statcmc".t.Jpassed from one member to another that the war ofllco had received an unpleasant supplemen tary dispatch from General ltuller, which was being held up for twelve hours. Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning Post, writes us follows of the Splon kop losses: "This is a serious matter, and an at tempt will not here be made to mini jnirejt, for no greater wrong can be ydone to our people nt home than to mislead them about the significance of the events of the war. The right way is to tell the truth as far as we know It." The war office has just posted the following dispatch from General llul 'ler, dated at Spearman's camp, Tues day, January 85, nooli, "General Warren's garrison, I am sorry to say, I 11 ml this morning had lit the night abandoned Splon kop," .Six officers and eighteen non-com-'thissionrd officers and men were killed. ijTwelve oflicors and 112 non-commls- 'flibned ofllcers and men were wounded, lind thirty-one men are mlsstng. ', It appears that the Itoera had a bet- ter range on the lirltlsh troops when hey occupied the hilL Its capture was v'consplclously easy. A galling tire was poured upon Warren's forces night and day. Iteing unable to advance further he temporarily withdrew to shield his troops from the hail of iron and lead which was reducing Ills command. His men fought gallantly throughout. Another advance is being planned. rAlthough England's nerves are se verely tried, her nerve is absolutely un l4Khaken, and probably nothing that can happen in South Africa will change In the slightest degree her intentions. She will ooutlnue lo receive bad news", If it does come, with dignity, and will maintain her determination to win at last. SCHWAN'S ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Different Columns Mote on Towns and Capture Thein.
