London, Jan. 29 The War Office
posted the following despatch from Gen
eral Bailer tbla morning,, dated at
Spearman's Camp, Thursday, January
25th, noonr "General Warren's garrison,
I ant torry to say, I find this morning
had last night abandoned Splon Kop."
' It ie imppsilble'to say at present the
British hart anffereo arevereeor wheth
er the movement fromBplon Kop was
dictated by stragetlcal reasons. " Ob-
vlonaly th position was useless unless
t'teguns could be planted on It. - .
Discorerlng this to be Impossible Gen
eral. Warren may, have decided it was
ansafe toattemptj to held the position
any longer, ofelse found a more favora
ble ascent at another point, - ' .
Whatever maybe the explanation of
ihe abandonment of Bplon Kop, it doubt
less will have the same moral effect as a
reverse. It seems to have been so entire
ly : unexpected at the War Office, thai
General Buller't dispatclf caused some
thing near to consternation.- ,
The only official comment was, "Ap
parently General Warren found the posl
. ion too hot to hold," , ' ,
' Military critics matje no effort Id con
teal their chagrin, expressing the gravest
foars as to the' ultimate fate at Lady--uiiih.
' " -' -
Such authorities as Major-General Bll
Frederick Carrlngtoo, under orders , in
outb Africa, -and Lord Gafford, who
vou the Victoria Cross scouting under
Lord Woiseley in the Sulu war,- would
i ot be surprised to hear of the capture
f General White's foroa within the
eck. - ' .

LoNDon, Jan. 86, Spefclal. A. cabinet
neettng was held this afternoon at which
the matter of -abandoning Bpion Kop
was closely studied.. ' ,',-
As result of the news from General
Bui lor, orders were sent today to Alder
shot to have the Fourth Cavalry division
held In ' readiness to embark for-Booth
Africa early in February. - -' ' '
"X', ' Barijr Baporl.
Londok, January BO. ideneral Bull
er's dispatch annonnclng the ocoopation
of Bpion kop is the only news on . the
subject that has been- permitted by- the
War Office to become public, and that is
sO brief that London has little or no de
tail as to what happened. . ' . v
t If Bploa kop is situated, as indicated
in the maps, , at the point where 'two
ridges nnite, running toward Dewdrop
o the northeast - and toward Acton
Hemes to the northwest, Its ocoopation
by British troops must have out the ad
vanced Boer position in. two. Accord
ing to General Buller's dispatch the Boer
position on theJugela is rendered un
tenable by the capture of Bpion kop, as
sumtng---tf course that the British are
ble to hold it. '
. The Boers were holding a long line of
some 80 miles, their extreme right at
plon kop and Tabamyant mountain,
ihclr center opposite Potgleter's drift
.tnd the left at Colenso. It was Impos
sible lor them to be equally strong in
force throughout this distance. While
they held Lyttleton's brigade in check at
Potgielor's tbey tried an attack, which
proved Ineffectual, against Barton's brig
ade at Oolenso.
It was natural for the Boers to sup
pose that the attack, which had gone on
almost uninterruptedly for four days oa
the western tiope of Tabamyana would
be continued on thif)- fifth day. Tbey
therefore, perhaps . strengthened their
extreme right, leaving Bpion Kop, which
possibly they deemed Inaccesalblo, with
only a small garrlsou, Such a situation
would hare afforded General Warren a
good opening.
Owing to the night march and siidihm
surprise, Warren did not suffor many
losses before dawn broke, but Duller
states that the Boor shall fire was den

Wo Representations From,; the Filipinos

. , . "Eitery Says. ' J, . .
Washihotoh, January 28. Not a rip
pie was caused In Washington by the
publication " of. the request of fiener
Mablnl, who was credited with being tl e
ablest member- of Aguinaldo'acabinet
and who is now a prisoner, in Manila,
that either new Civil Commission be
sent to the Philippines or. a Commission
of Filipinos be -allowed- to come, to the
United ; States; in order that Congress
may legislate intelligently for the la-.
lands. The fact that Senor Mabini Is
prisoner, and Agulnaldo a fugitive in
blding.-detracts from the importance of
anytbjng he might say. - But the princi
pal reason the request excited no inter .
est was that it is very well known -that
Congress has no idea of legislating for
the Philippines until peace has been
fully established. -
Senator McEnery , of La., differs from
his party colleagues in bis opinion ot the
war in the Philippines. He . said,' in a
speech, this week.: ,I do not stop to In
quire nowwhether my. country In the
Philippines is right or not. . I do not In
quire who flrod'lhe first shot' which pre
cipitated hostilities. It is enough for me'
to know that my government ha been
assailed, and i will uphold Its hands un
til Its enem-le have been, brought into
subjection, ' t
