BULLER’S DESPATCH.

Lonpow, Jan. 29.—The following is ihe text of General Buller’s despatch dated Spearman’s Camp. January 27th, 6.10p m: “On January 20.h General Warren drove back the eaemy and obtained pos session of the southern crests of the high tableland extending from the line of Acto® Homes ard Hovgersprort tothe weet of Ladysmith b ll, F.om tben t> Jaruary 25th he remaiaed in clo-e coutact with the enemy.

The enemy held a tr nz positiva on the range of smali kopjes stretcaiog from the northwest to the southeast across the plateau from Acton Homes through Spion Kop to the left bank of the Tuzela.

The actual position held was perfectly tenable, but did net lend itself to an ad- vance as the southera slope was eo steep that General Warren could not get an effective artiliery pocition aud water eup- ply wasa difficulty.

On January 23, | avsented to his at- tacking Spion Kop, a large. hill— indeed a mountsin—which was evidently the key of the position, but was more ac- cessible from the north than from the south.

Oa the nigbt of January 23rd, he at- tacked Spion Kup, but found it very difii- cult to hold as ite perimeter was too large, and water which he had been Ind to believe existed in this extraordinary dry season was found very deficient.

The crests were held that day againsta severe attack and a heavy shell fire.

Our men fought with gallantry, espec ially the conduct of the Second Cameron jaes and Third King’s Rifles who supported the attack on the mountains from tae steepest side, and in each case fought their wey to the top, aad the Second Lancasbires, Fusiliers and Second Middle- sex, who magnificently maintained the best traditions of the British army through. out the tryieg day of January 24th, and Thorozcref’s mounted infantry who fought throughout the day equally well alongside

SpreciAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

mand at the summit, having being wound- ed, the offiser who succeeded him decided, en the night ef January 241b, to abandoa

_ the position, amd did so b-fore dawn on

January 25:h.

I reached General Warren’s camp at 5 a. m., January 25th, and decided that a second aitack upon Spion Kop was use- less, and that the enemy’s right was too strong to allow me to force it. Accordingly I dcided to withdraw the force scuth of the Tugela.

At 6 a. m. we commenced withdraw- imztraie, and by 8a. m., January 27th, (3aturdey) General Warren’s force was coucentrated south of the Tugela without the loss ofa man or a pound of stores.

The fact that the force could withdraw from—aciaal toach in some cases the lines were leas than a thoueand yards apart —with the enemy in the manner it did, is I think, sufficient evidence of the morale of thet oops that they were permitted to withdraw our cumbrons ox and mule transpert acrussa river eighty-yarde broad with twenty foot banks and very swfft eur- rent unmolested is, I think, proof that the enemy has been taught to respect our soldiers fighting powers.”

THE WHITE FLAG.

Loxpon, Jan. 29.—The following des- patch has been received ia London from Pretoria :

“The Government here is advised that after heavy fighting near Spion Kop, some Britis:, on the kop beimg

stormed hoisted the white flag. One bundred and fifty prisosers were taken, God be thanked, although we also bad to

give brave and valuable livea.” A BOER STATEMENT.

Lonpow, dan. 29.—The War Office does not give any idea of the casualities of the Britiah in taking and holding Spion Kop, but the report from Boer headquar- ters, near Ladysmith, via Lorezzo Mar- ques, says that 1,500 British dead were left ow the battlefield. This number is thought to iaclude the wounded.

The eame report also said that General Buller bas been down with fever, but had recevered.

In the Boer statements of the attack the Boers are reported as carrying the firet trenchss aud taking 150 prison= ers.

FROM THE GENERALS.

Despatches to War Office by Mail.

Lonpow, Jan. ublishes a number of despatches from ) General Buller to the War Office criticis- ing 1eports from Generals White, Hild- yard,Methuen and other generals regard- ing their various operations, but contain- - ing nothing later than the record of oc- currences to the middJe of December.

A despatch from Geseral White, dated November 2, says

“T was so greatly impressed with the expused po-iiion of the garrison of Glen- eve that 1 determined October 11 towith- draw from there and cuncentrat all the troops at Ladysmith. Bat the governor represented that this step would involve such grave political reeulis that I determinea tu accept the military riek of holdio Dundee us the leeser of the iwo evils.”

General White then proceeds to de- scribe the eubsequentattack by 4,000 B e s of whom about 500 were k lled ur wound- ed, three oftheir gans being lett dis- mounted at Talana H'!!, but be adds there | was 0 opportunity of bringing them cit. * He aleo describes how the Boers were seen streamiug away in bodies ot 50 to 100, oa whom artillery could bave inflicted great loss. But, the Boers dieplaved a white flag aud the British refrained from firing. After describing the despera‘e fighting at Elandslaagte, culmioating ia the biter, protraczed figbting before the capture of the Boera final position. The general con tinues :

‘At length the guos reached us and the captured end of the ridge was gained from which the whole of the enemy’s camp, full of tents and horsemen, _was fully exposed t> view ata fixed range. A white flag was shown tio the centre of the camp and Colonel Ham Iton ordered *eease fire” and some of the British moved in the direction of the camp. For aiew moments there wasfa eomplete lull. Then a ebot was heard, followed by a deadly fire froma nearby kopje. The Britsh momentarily fell back, but charged aod recaptured the perition .”

General Metbueo reportsisimilar white flag incidents.

$ BATTLE OF TUGELA.

Genera! Buller, commenting On the ac- tion at Zovtpan’s drif', December 13tb, saye: “I euppose the Britieh officers will learn the value of scouting in time, but io spite of all one can ray our men seemed to blunder into the middle of the enemy. Whea I heard of the disaster te Long’s artillery I believed the six naval guns had shared the same fate and I decided im- mediately that it was imposeible to force the passage without gums. Loog was dangerously wounded and I was unable to obtain explanations. I had personslly in- atructed him where to go into action and with the naval guos only, but Long ad- vanced so fast that he left the infaatry escort and naval brigade behind. I be- lieve that but for the tailure of the artillery we would have carried the crossing.”

FOR VICTORIA CROSS.

General Buller recommended the Vic- toria Cross for Captains Congreva and Reid, Lieutenant Roberts acd Corporal Nurse, a! in consection with the attempts 7 to save the guns.

General Methuen, in a despatch, dated December 1. with referemce to the battle of Modder river confesses that Le believed the force in his front was only fighting 4 retiring action. He bad no idea that 8,000 Boere had been brou,bt from Spy- fomteia to oppose his advance

Commenting upon the d fficulty of con- veying orders, General Methuen says : “The truth is that no one can be on borse back with safety within 2,000 yards of the enemy.” And he admitsthst he, himself,

ree was progressing:
