BZZ\'8vated circumstances, suffering no
8'l`8ater loss, retreated three times from
the Held, and all England clamored for
the Slllwrsessiou ofthe responsible person.
Since then General- Hart has lost no op-
portunity of repeating his offence; he even
attributed the ill success of the day to the
fact that the battalions were afterwards
extended to single instead of double rank,
and censured commanding ofllcers for hav-
ing saved an even grcater disaster.
A FUTILE CHARGE.
I
“Near Spion Kop he took personal com-
mand of the York and Lancashire regi-
ments, and ordered afutile bayonet charge
at an enemy nearly fifteen hundred yards
away. This attracted such heavy fire theft
the two regiments sought . shelter
and declined to follow their otlicers
another yard. The Irish brigade had t0
be called to the rescue, and passed
through the prostrate line. No one has
any coiifldence in General Hart’s leader-
ship, and every ofIi`cer and man
from General Buller down is aware of his
incompeteucy. Nearly half of his brigade
have been killed and wounded; neither
has suffered in anything like the same
proportion; the Inniskilling Fusiliers have
only three of the officers who were with
them three months ago still serving, and
can now, in all, muster only five oflicers.
*Afew more battles, and the brigade will
cease to exist. General Ha.rt`s talents fit
him to be ai drill sergeant-not a leader of
men. No latitude is given to even the
most experienced commanders. He must
always keep, as he says, a tight grip on
his brigade, which means discomfort and
annoyance in peace and disaster in war.
“As an example of the extremes to
which this policy is carried, I will give
one instance among many. After the bat-
tle of Spion Kop, the troops, who had
been for ten days under constant fire and
endured every sort of hardship, were
‘naturally somewhat exhausted; more-
over, they had a severe night march
covering the rear of the retreating army.
General Buller decided it was necessary
that they should have some days’ rest,
and a camping ground was selected. The
teets, however, were not pitched in the
morning, and the men lay out in the sun
all day In the afternoon Gen. Hart was
