BULLEK IN CRITICAL POSITION Mti t Win or All Maj He l.oxt To He- treat Would lie DlllU-ult 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 ccntratlne their foitcs at muic diclsivi points , but it irqijirca confirmation.

( 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.
