The first particu lars' f General Buller's movement by way of Springfield reached London te-t 2 o'clock this morning from the .Laffan Bureau correspondent, who is accom panying the Lady smith relief -column. The despatch was too late for the first editioni of the London newspapers. It -was dated Spearma's- Farm- It is evidently not far fromi Tugela river. The despatch makes it clear that prac tically the whole of Buller's column is nowo the westward of the Boers' po sition, at Colenso, and1 that some fight ing has occurred on the part of Gener al Warren.' s division, though reference to this is somewhat obscure. There is still no official news of the movement since Buller's despatch of January 11, with the exception, of a brief unsatisfactory despatch issued by the war office yesterday statin- that there had been one death from dysen tery among the troops near Spring field anxJ one had 'been wounded in a recoinoissance along the Tugela river January 15. : ' LYTLETON AND WARREN BOTH ACROSS1 THE RIVER.

The war office ha received the -following from ' Robert, dated Cape Town, January 1(5: 'On the IStbi the- Boers made a de termined attack on. French's aidvanced post, held by the New Zealand mount ed rifles and a detabhnieht of the "First Yorkshire. The Boers were "repulsed, haying twenty killed Bind the wounded estimated alt not less than fifty. ; The attack was preceded by a long range fire from one. gun. Otherwise the situ ation is unchanged." The war office this afternoon posted this: "The following telegram is the only news received in regard to Buller's op erations near Sprinigfiel'd. " The telegram proceeds to report the death of ;& private from .dysentery and the wounding' of a " private in a recon. noissance toward the Tugela, river. General French's succss, though consoling to the British, is recognized as being only a side issue. The coun try is grateful to learn that the Brit ish losses ins this engagement ' were only six men. killed and five wounded. The- news that two transports with troops have been ordered from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth indicates that substantial reinforcements are on the way to French. ARTILLERY DUEL AT RENSBURG Rensburg, Jan. 16 (Delayed). The Boers opened) an artillery duel this morning, using a captured British 15 pounder, which the British gunners ultimately silenced. The) British kett up a searching fire all -day on the Boer kopjes, and also draggedi up an other gun to the summit of Coleskopf . MAY ABANDON KIMBERLEY, Chicago, Jan. 17. The . Record's cor-: respondent at London cables: It is rumored la military circles here that one of Fleldi Marshal Roberts' first acts will be to order the abandon- hment ot Modder River station, thus; practically aipandonihg the direct re lief of Kimberley. First, however, Lord Roberts must settle the question of General Methuen's supersession,,; which forma one of the5 chief topics of diacisioii here. The Times insists there is ample evidence of the" urgent necessity of an hnmedlate. .changes " Tn any case it is thottght clear that the Highlanders ought to be sent to . the rear, for. they must be demoralized and in need of re& and) the infusion of.new jbtood before; they.am Aj?S$jfr- the. enemy witm xneir oxa uaan uc- rtermination.' It is now said that Gen eral Wauchope only matd'e his fatal move under Lord Methuen's threat tbat he wouldtdemandl his sword if he hesi tated any longer. CLAIM LORD WOLSELEY WAS IG NORED. An Apologist for Lord Wolseley, cbm mandir in chief X)f the army, declares that the committee of national defense recalled General Butler aocF refused' to mobilize the second army dorps against the advice of Field Marshal Wolseley and dictated" the appointment of Lord Roberts and General Kitchener with out asking the commander in chief. Such authority has been vested in General Buller from the moment of his appointment that everything bias been done at his orders and the responsibil ity and blame, if any is to be assessed, accordingly must fall upon, hinu and neither on Lord Wolseley nor on the war office or admiralty. Men in a po sition to know say, however, that it is quite true that Wblseley's. advice was not asked merely because it was known that his admitted1 dislike for both pre vented his giving an unblasedToplnion. So the first the . commander in chief knew of the appointments was ' when he saw them published in the newspa pers. BUNDESRATH WILL BE RELEAS , ED. Berlin, Jan. 17.

Senator Petti grew again today took occasion to as sail the administration in connection with, the debate in "the senate on Mr. Hoar'3 resolution calling for informa tion to regard to1 the acquisition of the Philippines and, the insurrection there. He Jasserted that the Americans were guilty of firing: on their Filipino allies, and: declared that, the (blood of every soldier killed in. the war Was on the hiafcfls of the administration. He said he had been accused1 of a desire to put therBidiniiTiistration "in a hole," but he declared: tie only thing that couLd! do tbjaJtfwas the. truth . He charged1 that the censorship of the press and oonceal ingiiof facts in regard to the Philippine situation was for the purpose of re electing" McKinley. He ridiculed the "imperialist craim" that the situation in the Philippines was forced upon the Americans by the hand of God. He as serted 'that Jt was rather through! the Inspiration: of the devil. .

Washington, Jan. 17. As soon as the, doors o the senate were closed today: 'Mr. Jones of Arkansas, called attention to a- newspaper paragraph he had seen t the effect that several days ago the American flag was run up on the Island! of Tutuila, of the Samoan group andt the naval commander there had asserted the sovereignty, of the United States. Mr. Jones declared that the officer had anticipated the ac tion of the senate and had run up the flag without authority. He said he wanted a report from the navy depart ment on the subject before the treaty for the partition. of the Samoan group was ratified and he, therefore, moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the treaty was ratified yesterday. Mr. Frye assured Mr. Jones that he had investiga'ted the report and that there was not a word of truth in it, but Mr. Jones Insisted on his-motion, and a democratic senator seconded it. This put the Samoan treaty back to where it was before ratification. If Jones' motion vdoes not prevail the action of the senate yesterday com pleted the necessary ratification by the three governments concerned. A SPIRITED DEBATE IN THE : HOUSE. Washington, Jan. 17.

At the time' the house was sitting as committee of the whole on the urgency -deficiency bill. Mr. Sulzer said there .was a re publican. oss" who had riharsrAr- Ized his charges as "ro't." If there was not to be any investigation he" declared ve oeinocrats enould know it. In the course of the debate Sibley, democrat, of Pennsylvania, threw a bombshell Into the ceanp of his col leagues toy declaring that Secretary Gage's course was prudent, adding that, as for himself, he preferred business prosperity to party success. Mr. Sibley's remarks were applauded by the republicans. They aroused Champ Clark, of Missouri, to remark that the time was when Sibley did not have to go to the republican side for applause. He (Clark) heretofore enter tained the highest admiration for Sib ley and had gone so far as to nominate him for the vice presidency, but now, he declared, he withdrew the nomina tion and conferred it on Sulzer who was faithful under all conditions. Clark spoke with considerable bitter ness and' said in conclusion that Sib ley's place was now with the republi cans. He (Clark) preferred to fight a hundred! open enemies to u score of pro fessed friends advocating republican principles. Sibley replied briefly de clining Clark's suggestion. Mr. Hepburn defended Secretary Gage and declared that, some rebuke should) be admlnisltered to the represen tative who slandered a faithful official. The urgency deficiency bil ilh a few unimportant amendments was re ported to the house and passed. PHILIPPINE TALK IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Jan. 17. Appropriations for the military establishment contained in the urgent deficiency bill, which was passed by the house today, gave rise to a breezy debate on the Philippines, .iai which Terry, of Arkansas, and Williams, of Mississippi, and Cannon, of Illinois, engaged. The two former declared their opposition to the policy regarding the Philippines. , FILIPINOS TO BE PROTEGTEO FROM MEDDLING FRIARS Otis and Archbishop. Chapelle Give Assurances. Manila, Jan. 17. Religious excite ment in regard? to the friars: is on the increase. Today Attorney General . Torres, on behalf of many representative people, visited. General Otis and asked some expression on. the subject. . Otis .made 'this, reply 1S, -.?..- -r-- "There Is no necessity for :the" Fili pinos to -fear that the .friars will be forced upon them against their wishes. If the church authorities assign friars to curacies and the assignments are obnoxious the people will not be com pelled to accept them." Otis also assured Torres that the Fil ipinos would be protected! in the exer cise of their Individual constitutional rights. Later Torre's said that Arcbhfbishop Chapelle, apostolic delegate, speaking, on this subject yesterday stated that if the Filipinos did noJt desire friars to fill curacies he would not attempt to force them on the people. . The discussion of this matter has had a very wholesome effect. Event when the cook rises late you don't need to have a half cooked break fast if vou use Wheat Hearts. We've already roasted it.
