Which ASHEVILLE. N.CT FROM ROCK KOPJES TO OPEN VELDT Experts Urge Immediate Shift ing of Theater of War. Very Heavy List of Casualties To Be Issued. GENERAL BULLER'S DISPATCH GIVING THE REASONS FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF SPION KOP. London, Jan. 29. The war office de nies the report that Ladysmith has surrendered, and announces that a very heavy list of casualties will be issued, , ilijfti; New York, Jan. 29. A special from London to the Evening World says: "ii is learned irom reliable sources that Lord Roberts has advised the abandonment of Ladysmit At the war omce, .ne dispatch adds, "no K)nflrmation could be obtained of the advices said to have been given by Lord Roberts." London. Jan. 29. Advices state that casualties among officers at Splon Kop were 20 killed. 22 wounded and six mis sing. London, Jan. 29. Great anxiety has been removed by the announcement that Lord Dundonald's cavalry forces, which. It was feared, were isolated among the hills in the neighborhood of Acton Homes, are safe on the south bank .of the Tugela river. The usual airy attempts to minimize the seriousness of the situation In South Africa was entirely lacking this afternoon, and it is frankly acknowl edged that the most serious effort of the present war has dismally failed. There is no sign of a wish on the part of the leaders to disguise the facts, but, on the contrary, there is every disposition to face the full difficulties and discover the best way out. SHIFT THE SCENE. All hopes of the speedy relief of Ladysmith have been abandoned and the consensus of expert opinion urges an Immediate shifting of the theater of war from the rock kopjes of Natal to the open veldt of the Free State. Another long pause is inevitable un less the Boprs assume the offensive, because the planning of the new move will necessarily occupy time. After noon papers are drawing attention- to the closeness of -the parallel between , the Federal attack on X.ee at Freder icksburg. and that on the "Upper Tu gela. Curiously enough, there is visible. and especially in military circles, an undercurrent of relief at the news that the British are safely south of the Tu gela, for the- rumors of Saturday con jured up visions of an immense catas 1 SCATHING CRITICISM. The St. James Gazette returns to scathing criticism of the language of Buller's report. It says: "Gen. Buller's reflections on the ter ror he put into the foe reminds us of things we have heard about Chinese mandarins." Afternoon papers are discussing whence are to come the troops for the protracted campaign. It Is becoming generally recognized that some form of compursofy service is more imminent than was previously thought of. The Queen's speech at the reassembling of Parliament is waited with unusual in terest. ON STOCK EXCHANGE. There was all around despondency on the stock exchange today, opening with a general decline of two points in Rands and from H'to Vi in others. RUMOR UNFOUNDED. Berlin, Jan. 29. A semi-official dis patch from Lisbon says the repoit that the Boers have crossed the Mozam bique frontier Is unfounded. BULLER GIVES DETAILS. London, Jan. 28. General Butler's dispatch to the war office states that Spion Kop was abandoned on account of lack of water, inability to bring the artillery there and the heavy Boer fire. General Buller gives no list of cas ualties. His whole force withdrew south of the Tugela river with the evi dent intention of reaching Ladysmith by another route. Following is the text of General Buller's dispatch, dated Spearman's Camp, Saturday, January 27, 6:10 p. m.: "On January 20, Warren drove back the enemy and obtained possession of the southern crests of the high table land extending from the line of Acton Homes and Honger's Poort to the western Ladysmtm hills. From then to January j!5 he remained In close contact with the enemy, "The enemy held a strong position on a range of small kopjes stretching northwest to southeast, across the pla teau from Acton Homes, through Spion Kop to the left bank of the Tugela. DEFICIENT IN WATER. "The actual position held was per fectly tenable, but did not lend itself to an advance, as the southern slopes were so steep that Warren could not get an effective artillery position, and water supply was a difficulty. "On January 23 I assented to his at tacking Spion Kop, a large hill, indeed, a mountain, which was evidently the key to the position, but was far more accessible from the north than from the south. "On the night of January 23 he at tacked Spion Kop, but found it very difficult to hold, as its perimeter was too large and water, which he had been led to believe existed in this ex traordinary dry season, was found very deficient. "The crests were held all that day against- severe attacks and a heavy shell fire. Our men fought with great gallantry. I would especially mention the conduct of the Second Campions and the Third King's Rifles, who sup ported the attack on the mountain from the steepest side and. in each caae, fought their way to the top, and the Second Lancashire Fusileers and Second Middlesex, who magnificently maintained the best traditions of the urtttsn army throughout the trying day of January 24th. and Thornycroffs mounted Infantry, who fought through me aay equauy wen alongside of them. ABANDONED. "General Woodgate, who was In command at the summit, having been wounded, the officer who succeeded hint decided on the night of January 24 to abandon the position and did so before dawn Jatfuary 25.- - "I reached Warren's camp at S a. tn. January 25 and decided that a second attack upon Splon Kop was useless and that the enemy's right was too strong to-allow me to force it. .- "Accordingly I decided to withdraw the force to the south of the Tugela. At C a. m. we commenced .withdrawing the train and by 8 a. m,. January 27 (Saturday) - Warren's force was con centrated south of the Tugela without the loss of a man or a pound of stores. "The fact that the force-could with draw from actual touch In some cases the lines were less than, a thousand yards apart with .the enemy in the manner it did. is. I think, sufficient ev idence of the morale of the troops and t that we were permitted to withdraw our cumbersome ox and mule troops -across the river, eighty-five yards broad, with twenty-foot banks and a very difficult current, unmolested, is. I think, proof that the enemy has been taught to respect our soldiers' fighting powers." IN LONDON SUNDAY. DUring the morning and the earlier part of the afternoon a placard bear Ing the words, "no news," hung on the Iron railing in front of the war of fice, and the shivering sentries who stood guard on Pall Mall in the rain and sleet had the district all to them selves. About 3 p. m.. however, the placard was taken in and on the bulle tin boards inside Geneial Buller's long dispatch was displayed. - The Sunday papers Issued extracts. but only the faintest interest was manifested in the streets. At the ser vice clubs the situation as revealed bv General Buller was considered very unpleasant. His excuses for explana tions were characterized as very weak. The absence of what Sir Charles -warren was "led to brieve" existed and the facts that Ppion Kop was indeed a mountain." and its "perimeter was too ' rce are all matters which even General Buller's - warmest admirers Hold should have been ascertained be- fi-re he attacked. A COMFORTING FEATURE. One comforting feature of the situa tion, however, is the fact that General Buller's retirement across the Tugela was accomplished without loss, which puts an end to the unpleasant rumors that were in circulation here and on the continent. The splendid gallantry of the men in capturing Spion Kop is read of with great pride and satisfac tion. It is taken as an assurance of the ultimate success of their arms. The - War office does not Rive any idea of the casualties in taking and holding Spion Kop, but a report from the Boer headquarters near Ladysmith via Lorenzo Marquez, says that 1,500 British dead were left on the battle field. This number is thought to in clude the wounded. BULLER HAD FEVER. The report also stated that Gen. Bul ler had been down with fever, but had recovered. If Boer reports are to be accepted, "the abandonment of Spion Kop was due to the inability of the British to resist the Boer attack, the Boers car rying the first trenches and taking 150 prisoners." The following dispatch has been re ceived in London from Pretoiia. dated January 25, via Lorenzo Marquez, Jan uary 28: 'The government is advised that, af ter heavy fighting near Spion Kop, some British on the kop being stormed. hoisted a white flag. One hundred and fifty prisoners. God be thanked. We also had to give valuable and brave lives." AT FAIRVIEW Larue Meeting for the Amendment Held Saturday. Locke Craig, esq., and Register of Deeds Mackcy returned Saturday from Fairview, where Mr. Craig delivered an address in behalf of the constitu tional amendment. The meeting was held in the academy building. The use of a hail was kindly offered by J. Will Jones, but the offer was declined as the hall was not of sufficient size to hold the crowd. Mr. Craig spoke for two hours, and Mr. Mackey made a shorty speech. Every seat in the hall was taken, and there were as many persons standing as were seated. It is estimated that the crowd contained at least 200 people. Al though the dav was cold and the house uncomfortable, no one left before the I conclusion of the meeting. Those in formed about the matter said that at least three times as many persons at tended this meeting as had attended previously at any .discussion of the amendment at Fairview. The result of the meeting showed that Democrats of the township were a unit for the amendment. Some few had been doubtful about the matter, owing to misrepresentations, but their doubts were effectively cleared away. Democrats there were not only for the amendment, but enthusiastically for it. Mr. Craig's speech was largely argu mentative and explanatory of the dif ferent clauses of the amendment. All present favored the amendment except a few Republicans. CONSERVATIVE AND SOUND. Congressman Crawford a Progressive, Substantial Member. The Washington Post in its "Capitol Chat" column has this to say of the Ninth's representative in Congress: " 'I have always tried to abstain from introducing foolish bills in the House.' said Representative W. T. Crawford of North Carolina. 'There is nothing more troublesome than at tempting to explain to your constitu ents the reasons for the failure of some measure that has been Introduced, and which has no chance whatever of be coming law. 1 am following the same rule that I followed when I was a member of the Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses- I deal squarely with my people about such matters, and I tell them my honest opinion at the start about attempts to secure spe cial legislation.' "Representative Crawford is one of the most progressive and substantial men of the present delegation from the Old North State. He is conservative and sound In his ideas, and applies himself to the duties of a Congressman not only industriously, but with philos ophy. In length of service he is the senior Democratic member from North Carolina " ADVERTISING IN ENGLAND. Photographs Sent Medicine Over by the Company. Paris Photographic interiors of the Paris Medicine company's Asheville laborato ry have been made for window adver tising in England. One of the pictures shows an immense heap of empty Bromo-Iaxative boxes surmounted by the face of one of the young ladies em ployed by the company. The pile of boxes represents one day's filling at the laboratory and the picture in The Citizen office for the past week has been guessed at for the - number of boxes in the pile. The telegraph editor said "twenty five hundred." A young lady said "seven hundred." Superintendent J. D. Eggleston put the figure at 1,600. J. P. Kerr gave It at 4,500. City Clerk Marc. Robertson went to 12,000, and a kid who happened In said "there must be a hundred million. H . The actual number is 47.000. CALL T PORTO RICO. Washington. Jan. 29.

SCOPES BRITISH Rises to Question of Personal - 'c ". ,.- ' f Interview Yfith British Consul St NeW Orleans NOT" ISH THE FIRST TIME BRIT DIPLOMATS INTERFER ED IN AMERICAN POLITICS. Washington, Jan. 29. In the Senate today Mr.l Mason of Illinois, rising to a question of . personal privilege, said he had read an Interview purporting to have been held with the British consul at New Orleans In which the Illinois Senator was criticised for his speech in sympathy with the Boers. Mr. Mason severely criticised the British government, not the people, saying that not one-tenth of ue Eng lish people favored the present war in South Africa, and that 95 per cent, of the people of this country sympathiz ed with the Boers. He said it was not the first time the British 'diplomats had interfered in American politics, and he desired to have attention called to this matter before it could injure the present ad ministration as it had injured Cleve land. air. Loage saia ne aid not tning a diplomatic or consular officer of any government had the right to criticise a senator or Representative' orany Of ficer of the government. He said the gallant fight the Boers re making stirred the heart of every man. Mr. Mason criticised the foreign re lations committee for taking no action on the resolution of sympathy.

SLASHING OF PRICES. Started by Two of the Country's Largest Steel Concerns. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 29. The Post says: "Slashing of prices has been ( started by two of the largest steel and iron concerns in the country. The cuts are affecting but two of the products and there is danger of others being dis turbed. It started with one class of material and a second has followed in sympathy. The firms in the contest for i business are the Carnegie Steel com pany, limited, and Jones & Laughlin's, limited. The products ..ius far sought to be put on the market are tank and boiler plates. "One month ago tank plates sold at ! $62.50 a ton. Now they are selling at ( 45, a cut of $17.50. Best plates readily ! brought $62.50 and after the decline on tank material started it has reached j the $52 mark. It is possible that it will j ultimately follow closely in the foot I steps oi the tank product. "As yet no efforts have been made I looking to a re-establishment of the prices, and as both are determined, I with plenty of financial and other fa cilities, the near future will be watcn ed with interest in iron and steel cir cles."

NEW ELECTRIC PLANT : AT STATE HOSPITAL MR. JUDGE SAYS IT IS ONE OF THE BEST EQUIPPED IN THE UNITED STATES. John P. Judge, representing the Gen eral Electric company, with headquar ters at Schenectady, N. T- was in the city today, having recently arrived from Morganton. At the latter piace j Mr. Judge Inspected the electric plant 1 lately installed at the-State hospital j by his company. j Mr. Judge found the plant In good working order and pronounces it one of the best equipped in the United States. The hospital plant consists of two direct connected generating sets, each with a capacity of 30 kilowats -or 125 volts. The switchboards are fine instruments, . completely enameled. The hospital is wired for about 1200 16 candle-power lamps. The wiring In the main building is all. concealed, and in all other buildings Is moulded. In each ward there is a cabinet eon taLning switches and fuses, the Gener al Electric plug fuses being used ex clusively. Actual tests showed that there was not a variation of more than one volt between any two lights In -the building. One interesting feature of the lnstal lation is a flve-horse-power motor for driving a pump to supply water for the building. The pump is located ab9ht 2500 feet from the plant. For merly a separate boiler and steam pump, used for this service, necessi tated the constant attendance of. an engineer. The buildings were formerly lighted by a gas machine on the premises. It has already been seen that the saving due to the electric Installation will amount to $1500 per year. The plant was installed by the Gen eral Electric company's engineer, John P. Cilley, a North Carolinian and a most competent electrician. . STE A MSHIf ASHORE ! tMlwipnir MJflUnC NEAR HATTERAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIGHT AND BOUND SOUTH APPARENTLY UNINJURED.
