The Position Now Apparently of Enemy. British Casualty List ot Wednesday's Eugagement. Speculation as to the Cause of the' Failure to Hold Spionkop. THE ENGLISH HELD THE KEY PO SITION LESS THAN ONE DAT. FOURTH CAVALRY DIVISION OR DERED TO BE IN READINESS TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA. London, Jan. 27. In the complete absence of details from any source it Is impossible to throw, any light on General Warren's abandonment of Spionkop. The critics set forth alter native explanations, but the expression of regret in Buller's despatch tinges even the most hopeful. Suggestions and all comment fall back on the bare disappointing fact that one the gen erals, appeared to consider the keyof the position is no longer in British hands and quite probably is in the enemy's. Since Buller's flanking movement be gan on January 10 his casualties, ac cording to official returns, appear to have been 60 killed, 689 wounded and 60 missing. The returns, however, (have been somewhat unpirecise. There is again difficulty with the ca ble. Buller's despatch announcing the abandonment "of Spionkop is dated January 25, noon. It only reached the war office at o'clock Friday morning. The Telegraph 'company reports the cable interrupted "between the island of San Thome and St. Paul de. Loando, andi.tlie eastr.wasfcr cable therefore is the only, one that tarn be used!. : BULLER'S REPORT. London, Jan. 26, 11:10 A. M. The war office lhas published the folio wing,, de spatch from' Buller dated Spearman's Camp, Thursday noon: "General Warren's garrison, I aim sorry to say ,T find tlhis morning, had in the night abaiidlaned Spionkop." THE CASUALTIES. General Buller reports that the Brit ish casualties, in the capture of Spion kop, which was evacuated today, were Killed Officers, jsix; TKm. -commissioned officers and men, 18 ; wounded Officers 12; non-commissioned officers and, men, 142; miseing, 31 men. The Westminster Gazette says of the Spionkop evacuation: "It is impossi ble to say whether the British suffered a reverse or the movement was dic- tateVS by strategic reasons. Obviously the position was useless unless guns could be planted on it and discovering this impossible, " Warren may have de cided it was unsafej to attempt to hold the position longer; or, perhaps is seek ing a more profitable ascent elsewhere. "Whatever may be the explanation it will doubtless have the same tempor ary moral . effect as a reverse. It ap pears to have beeni so entirely unex pected at the war office that Buller's despatch; causekf something in the na ture of consternation. The lobbies Were soon crowded and there was evi dence on all sides that the news was keenly felt. The only official comiment was that Warren had found the posi tion too hot to hold . " . . Prolbably as an immediate, effect of the abandonment of Spionkop by the British, orders have been sent to Alder shot to havB the Fourth cavalry divi sion in readiness to embark for South Africa early in February.

"Seventh. We claim, that'this coun try, as trustee for Cuba, and; as de facto sovereign, should put an eaui to this monoply, as it put an end to the slaughter' house monopoly and the Spanish bank monopoly. "Eighth. We are willing that any permit to us shall be subject, to modi fication or repeal at any time by this government or any future government of Cuba." The representatives of the Western Union Telegraph, company replied to- NICARAUGUA CANAL REPORT. Washington, Jan. 26.
