Will the British Ever
Get to Ladysmith?
Boers are Taking the Ag?
gressive-British Growing
Uneasy.
London, Feb 12 4.20 a. m -The
latest dispatches from the front show
ins: the real reasons for Gen Boiler's
retirement and hi3 intention to try
again quite destroy the comforting
and ingenious theory that the move
ment was as elaborate feint to facili
tate the main advance of Lord
Roberts, a theory which obtained
acceptance largely because of Mr
Balfour's misleading statement to
parliament
These seemingly useless reticences
and prevaracations on the part of the
government and the war office are
beginning to be criticised severely
No word bas yet issued from the
war office regarding Gen bulleras
latest attempt, although the corres
poodents are allowed to telegraph
with a fair amount of freedom, and
thus a partial list of casualties bas
been published The dating of
messages from Frere Camp may
indicate that Geo Buller has with?
drawn all his forces tbere
The London newspapers, having
become accustomed to checks,
maintain a hopeful tone, but the
situation is much more threatening
than it seemed to be a week ago
Troofs of the terrible strength and
mobility of the Boer arcillery,
together with the rumor that Gen
Jonbert is taking the initiative with
*be object of catting Gen Butter's
comnunications are in no way reas
earing
Even ihe most sanguine persons
begin to see that it is quite hopeless
to expect the relief of Ladysmith,
while it is clear that, if it ne impos
sible to reach Ladysmith, it is equal
ly impossible for the garrison, ex
baosted by sickness and privations,
to cat a ^ay oct.
Reports of a Boer advance through
Zululand are disquieting If they
shonld be able to strike at Greytown.
Gen Buller would be compelled to
torn his attention to the eastern side
of Natal.
The fact that Lord Roberts ar?
rived at Modder river Friday seems
to show that he has been on a round
of inspection to the chief commands
and that the main advance is not so
sear as has been supposed
Startling intelligence comes from
Kimberly in the Cape newspapers
jost received by mail in London It
appeared that since Jan S the rations
at Kimberly have been for tbe most
part horse flesh, so repugnant to
women and children that many refuse
to eat It also appears that the
death rate bas been heavy and that
the privations of the garrison have
been increasing steadily.
Tais news is startling because the
cen so r has not allowed it to. be
cabled Possibly such conditions
explain the presence of Lord Roberts
at Modder river and the apparent
preparations for an advance from
that point
The mention in the dispatch of
Lord Roberts to the war office jester
day of Gen Clements as commanding
at Rensborg is interpreted to show
that Gen French, with his cavalry,
has gone to Lord Roberts, and that
considerable changes in the distribu?
tion of troops in the district have
occurred.
The unexpected strength and
activity of the Boers at Rensburg,
where they are rather pressing the
British than being pressed by them,
causes anxiety.
There is no confirmation of the
report of a sortie fromr, Ladysmith
Tbe latest dispatch fi om lhere, dated
Wednesday last, reports that ail was
quiet then and that instructions had
been issued to beware of the possible
approach of Boers in the guise of a
British relief force
Today sees the beginning of the
-fifth month of the war Charles
Williams, the military expert, says :
"After all this interval, our fiue, big
army, instead of being free to ma
nouvre io the field, is tied by the left
leg to Kimberley in order to please
Cecil Rhodes, aud by the right leg
to Ladysmith in order to please Jos
Chamberlain. Yet neither town has
even the smallest military value."
Although the British will soon
have 200,000 men in South ?frica,
the Daily Mail and other papers are
stiii asking lor more troops
The stoppage of shipments of gold
and diamonds reduces the value of
exports from Cape Colony last month
to ?251,182, as against $2,312,114

' Kimberloy repors that the fighting

Wednesday, February 7. Next day
the Biers commenced the construction
of trenches to the east nearly parallel
to tbs Glacis and 4,000 yards from the
Premir mine. A native reported that
be accompanied numbers who left
Mafeking for Kimberley, oarryiog with
them a six-ioch gus and a quick-firing
field gun. The former opened fire on
Kimberley.
"Otherwise tbe situation is un- j
changed."
GUNS MOVED TO KIMBERLEY.
Modder River, Saturday, Feb 10.- j
Apparently the Boers have brought all j
their big guns from Mafeking to shell
Kimberley
Our navy guns shelled Magerafon
tein tcday, but the Boer guns were
silent. It is supposed that the enemy
have withdrawn their artillery. They
are blowing up the permaoent way
beyond Monos siding
The Boers still maintain their
trenches but their numbers are appa?
rently reduced The bulk of their
force has gone to Kimberley or toward
oar flank.
London. Feb 12.-The St Peters?
burg correspondent of The Daily Mail
saya :
"The coBstrnction of thc trans
Persian railway bas been absolutely
decided upon The Hoe will be 1,300
miles long and will cost 150,000,000
roubles (Turkeetane.)
"The Viedomosti says the route will

Free State Will be Invaded
From Modder River With
35,000 Men
London. Feb 13 4 15 a m -Lord
Roberts bas gathered 35,000 men,
with whom, according to the best
military opinion in London, be pur?
poses turning the left of the Magers
fontein lines near Jacobsdal, entering
the Free State, compelling Gen
Cronje to raise the seige of Kimberly,
and thus making his first step toward
Bloemfontein
Kimberly, 20 miles away from the
Modder river position, is in sore
straits. Details of the December
death rate show that in a population
of 14,000 whites and 19,000
blacks the mortality was 60
whites and 138 blacks per thou
sand The infantile death rate was
671 per thousand among the whites
and 912 per thousand among the
blacks Enteric fever is prevalent
This frightful state of affairs in
December cannot have improved
much, it at al!, since, and the fighting
power of the garrison must have
been greatly diminished.
Meanwhile the bombardment by
the Boers bas increased and there is
imminent danger of the town falling
nuder the very eyes of Lord Roberts
It is believed in circles close to the
war offce that he will move at once
Scouts have approached within a
thousand yards of tbe Boer entrench
mente at Magersfontein They have
found these strong, and ascertained
that they are used as dwelling places.
Naval gunners are constantly watch
ing the enemy's Unes with strong
glasses and they declare that there is
an appreciable diminution in the
Boer forces.

THE BOERS AGGRESSIVE
London, Feb 12-Great Britain
remains waifing ar.xi >osly to leam
which pide will succeed in striking first.
The widespread hi lief that the hands of
Field Marcha] Lord- Roberts and Gen
Kitchener are now firmiy gripped at
the helm contributes to a feeling of
more confidence that, whatever happeo*
the campaign will now be waged under
a careful, comprehensive plan, all the
forces will cooperate. Both sides seem
to bc collecting themselves for attack.
The left horn of the Boer army is
creeping throogh Ziululand and threat
eoiog the British right and at Ctiieve
ley Gen Joubert, with 0,000 men, is
reportfd to be endeavoring to attack
j Gen Buller. Boer aggressiveness has

I fuiness in Great Britain rather
than anxiety, for the impression exists
that the Boer aggressiveness will give
the British troops their long yearned for
opportunity and tend greatly to essist
the broad plan of campaign which Lord
Roberts may shortly be expected to sot
in motion at Modder river Meanwhile,
Ladysmith must await the exigencies
attendant upon the more important
military movements now on foot It is
said positively that Geo Macdonald's
withdrawal from Koodoosberg, was
ordered by Geo Methuen, under Lord
Roberta's instructions
A REPORT FROM BULLER.
London, Feb 12, 4.12 p. m.-The
war office today issued the following
from Lord Roberts, dated from the
Modder River Sunday, Feb ll.
"I have received a telegram from
Buller aa follows, dated Friday, Feb 9 :
" 'It was necessary after seiziog
Vaal Krantz to entrench it as the pivot
for further operations I found after
trying two days, that owing to the
nature of the ground, that this was
impracticable. It was also exposed to
' the fire of heavy guns in positions from
! which our artillery was dominated It
is essential to troops advancing on
Ladysmith by Harding or Mongers
drift to hold Vaal Krantz securely, and
accordingly we are not pressing the
advance by those roads, as I fiod we
cannot make it secure '7
BOERS MAY BESIEGE E5HOWE

"A dispatch from E*bowe asserts
that a large commando of Boers is
encamped near Ngutu, with 80 wagons
and 9 guns It is rumored that this

patriotism and did the very best they
couid."
Tbe above was signed by Gov Tay?
lor and issued as a proclamation. Toe
decision not to sign the Louisville
agreement was reaohed by Gov Taylor
this afternoon. For over two boura he
bad been in conference with fully one
hundred and fifty prominent republicans
from all parts of tbe State. The meet?
ing was secret in the extreme, ali
those who came from the bali before
Gov Taylor himself refusing to say
aoythiog of the progress of the deliber
attona
Tbe members of the conference, with
the exception of Gov Taylor, gathered
io the legislative ball usually occupied
by the State bouse of representatives.
Gov Taylor stated to tbe conference
that there were two courses to be
pursued. First, to sign the Louisville
agreement, the second, to quietly with?
draw the troops, allow the legislature
to reconvene in the capital in Frankfort,
to call off tbs session now being held
ic London and to ignore the Louisville
agreement entirely. Several speeches
were made and it was soon anparent
that tbe sentiment of the gathering was
very strongly in favor of the secood
course and this was adopted. This
action was decided upon at 1 o'clock
and the first information of tbe decision
was given to the outside world by
Gov Taylor himeelf He came rapidly
through the doors unattended and look
ing nervous and haggard.
He walked hastily toward the Capitol
stairway, repeatiog several times ito the
newspaper men wbo stood in the hail :
4,1 don't sign," "I don't sign," "I
don't sign."
From the Capitol be passed lo tbe

made up and signed tbe following pro?
clamaron reconvening the legislature
at Frankfort :
Frankfort, Ky, Feb 10, 1900.
The excitement recently prevailing in
