Lowesow, Feb. 2.—At a late heur this morniag the War Office, whieh had earlie: stated tbat it possessed no infermation on tke subject of the rumor that General Bul- | ler had recrossed the Tugela, declared, thatis had received no news for publica- tion.

Whether this is an equivocal statemen; that indicates that important news which is mot for publication bas been recsived, the future alone can tell.

RUMORS REGARDING MAFEKING.

MORE MONEY WANTSD.

A MOVE THAT FAILED.

The party move to unite all sections of the Liberale bas failed. Jt has only re. sulted imrallying the eupporters of the Geverament, who bad been considerably embarrassed by critiei-ma even en their own side.

Moreover, the followers of Lord Rese- berry will probably swpport ihe Gevern- ment,as the Irish members will abstain frem voting. Ultimately the majerity will probably be evem larger than ueual,

It ie felt thas tae Liberals have been tryiag te make eapita] out 6f the crisis, an attempt which is utterly eut of touch with the real feeling ef the country.

BULLER MAY HAVE MOVED.

Loupox, Feb. 2.—2.37 p. m.—There is ne official news from General Buller’s headquarters, and the only information that bas reached London in any way sup- porting the reports that be has re-~ croased the Tugela river is found in ean aeeseciated press despatch announcisg Lord Dundenald’s recoanais« sance which is taken to iedicate a prelude to renewed activity.

At the despatch is three days old, and Lord Dundonald feund no difficulty in ereseing the river, it is not impossible thet General Buller may have moved in the interim, and public anxiety is agsin concentrated om the upper Tagela.

CHURCHILL'S REPORT.

Boer Positions Perhaps Impregnable to 25,000 Men.

New York, Jauuary 31.--Tbe Even~ ing World prints a delayed despatch from Lieut2naut Wineton Churchill, dated Spearman’s Camp, January 27cb, 6 p. m. —It says: —

“The action onthe summit of Spisn Kop was one of the moat fierce and fur- ious conflicts in the Baitith military bis- tory. Guided by ‘Therneycrofie, the troops surprised the Boers there and carried the trenches with the bayonet at 3 o’clock in the morning. There was little toss. ~ “ At once the treops entrenched hastily, bu: the grouad was brokes by large rocks and unsuited for entrenchments. At dswn heavy Boer shelling began. Gen~ eral Woodgate was seriously woundei io the beginning.

“Urgent demands for reinfercements were seat by the commander who succeeded Woodgate. The reinforcements were sent, strengthening the defence. Thorseycroft was appoiated brigadier, commandivg the whole force om top of the hill. A bitter acd bloody struggle followed througiout the day, the Boers consentrating every man aad guy om the summit ef the hil! and attacking with the greatest spiril.

“The British artillery were uvabie to cope with the superior long raege Boer gun‘, and during the afternoon it became evident that the infantry cea'd net endure another day. It was inposeible to drag guus to the summit of Spion Kop without elaberate preparations or to fortify the hill etrongly esough te protect the defenders from uvassailed artillery. Therefore, Taornyecroft’s de. cieion fto abander it was both wise , and necessary. The troops, still stubbera and formicable, marched back to the camps io régular order.

“Every effurt is now being made to succor the wounded, of whem mapy atill lie op the eummit. T1.~ official lis: will give the losses. The deience of the hill by the Kaglish ivfautry, particularly the

Lancashire regiment, wes a glorious episode, The whele army is proud of it. The Beer posi-

tions before Ladysmith are perhaps im- preguable to§25,000 mev, but the tro ps sreresclved to have avether try.

“The equasimity of the troops on Spion Kop is not a disaster. Neither guna were lost, nor unwounded prisoners made. It was simply a bleody action, in waich lodgment of the enemy’s enirenchmeaty was affected, but which proved unteuable.

“The Boers were sometimes within 30 yards of the British lines The Boers alsosuffered. Their loss muat be greater, compared to their strergth than ours. The precess of attraction must ultima‘ely settle the war. The British troops bear the worst ch-erfully and the naticn must remain calm, dignified and determined.”
