Special to Journal.
:' liOKikjMf, Feb. 6 Absolute silence Is
still preferred at the War Office in re
gard to the military operations lu tsouth
A.filca. ' -
It is now evident that the officials at
the War Office do not know , what is
going oa at the seat of war. '
The campaign now is being run by
General Roberts andOenonil Kitcljeaer
from head quarters of whose location the
publlo Is entirely Ignorant. No annouce
meut will bo made until something has
happened.
The British ( a'ria'.-r, members of parlia
ment and the press are all kept equally
dark on matters In South Africa. .
' Military experts here seem to agree
that Genera! Kitchener will turn up at
some unexpected point. Home evidence
goes to show that had Melhiea's force be
yond the Orange river Is ready to " more
towards Kimberly. and that General
French is clearing the way.
But whether Kitchener is at M odder
river, or at Colesburg,. or with General
Boiler, is not known. No word regard-
Mag Buller has ' been made public for
several dajs
Hoberis and Kitchner are rouning the
campaign to suit themselves. The British
nation I backing them up1.
Lomoo, February 0 There has been
no olHUl connruisllon of the persistent
rumor that General Bulled again Crossed
the Togela river and started toward
Ladysmlth, and strangely enough there
has been an absence of sensational ru
mors.' ".vt : ,
Loudon Itself is stnngely calm con
sidering the tieaieudous stake for which
Buller la playinj. A few perjous, dur
ing the day bun around the War Office,
but no excitement wan .lmwn. Appar
ently no anxleiy is fell. In clubs, hotels
and theatres .the bams conditions bold
true.
Almost everyone in London approves
Ballet's policy of silence.. ' Another re
pulse by the Boers Is already discounted,
and would not ciusa any remarkable ef
fect, now that aU eyes are directed to
ward Roberts and Kitchener.- Buller Is
rather looked upon as having a force to
bo used to divert the attention of the
B wrs Lo-h from Ladysmllb and the Free

FaABKFOBT. Kr.,"Feb, 0 The confer
ence ot Republiaan leader with Govern
or Taylor broke up at noon. Ta lor
refused to accept the terms of agreement
although all kinds of pressors and ar
gument were brought to bear upon him.
The conferense was not harmonious
by any mean. Dr. Baker, the post
master of Louisville and one of the big
gest Republicans of the Stale, was one
of the leaders who conferred, with Tay
lor. He Is plainly disappointed at the
outcome. ,
; He said, "We look forward to a peace
ful settlement. Governor Taylor die not
agree to the terms of the Louisville con
ference this morning, but we expect that
he will do so later. Ue said that be
wanted time to consult his advisors and
other officials who were elected with hiov
on the same ticket. It Is certain that
the mllitfa will not be dispersed today.
So long: as they' remain the danger of
trouble will continue."
At noon taday Taylor said that he
would make no statement regarding bis
attitude toward the resolution at the
Louisville conference before tomorrow.
He said, "The legal proposition has been
submitted to me, I wish time to consider
it. It is possible that I msy reach a con
clusion late this afternoon but it is
doubtful I wish to cousult my lawyers
at some length before saying anything
or taking any action." ' -
Until next Monday Taylor will remain
In possession of the public buildings and
the Republican will recognize bim, Tbe
Democrats will recognize Beckham as
Governor. . ''
