LONDON, Jan. 26.4Genei'al*vBu-ller’lw phrase, “The men are splendidgf’r'thtilh ingland with pride and confidence. HIE taking and holding Spion kop are.cons.id- ered permanent advantages. _. ' 2‘ ,Sir Charles \Varren’s opinion that mlles'r. of the adjacent Boer intrenchments are untenable is accepted by most'expert 0b: servers as obviously true, because of the height of the position, 'although‘ some point out that it may lack adequate gun platform to resist artillery fire from the two extended sides. It is not likely that General Warren will let go anything'he'holds, and news of further success is calmly awaited. The military authorities recognize of course that in the 12. or 15 miles between Spion hop and Ladysmith there are con- tinuous defensive positions and'rugged - hills and ravines which far outrange Spion kop, but they are sure that the troops who have turned the Boers out of difficult places can do it again. The mili- tary expert of The Times says: “It is exceedingly difiicult to arrive at any exact estimate of the advantage gained. A definite tactical object has been attained, and definite steps have been taken in the fulfillment of the stra— tegic plan. It. is necessary to await fuller information before attaching undue weight to the successes thus far attained. At least there has been steady progress.” The Kildonan Castle reached Durban yesterday with 2,000 additional troops for General Bullcr, and three troopships have arrived from India, bringing among oth- ers a regiment of lancers. Beyond these it is not publicly known here how heavily Q" “' GENERAL WARREN. General Buller has been re-enforced, but those having certain connections with the war office are confident that General Bul— ler will have as many men as he may need to make his work easier. The war office has issued the following dispatch from Spearman’s camp, dated Jan. 25, 12:10 morning: “General W'arren’s troops last night occupied Spion kop, surprising the small garrison, who fled. It has been held by us all day, though we were heavily at- tacked, especially by a very annoying shell fire. “I fear our casualties are considerable, and I have to inform you, with regret, that General \Voodgatc was dangerously wounded. ”General \Varren is of the opinion that he has rendered the enemy's position un- tenable. The men are splendid.” Advices have been received from Spear- man’s camp that General Woodgate has succumbed to the wounds he received in the attack upon Spion kop. The situation in the neighborhood of the other armies is unchanged, but a for- ward movement by General French is daily expected. A dispatch to The Stand- ard from Rensburg describes General French’s dispositions as now forming a great semicircle around the Boer posi- tions. The correspondent says he could take Colesbcrg, two miles away, at any time. A letter from Pretoria gives the text of a complaint which President Kruger made to President Steyu regarding the want of co-operation on the part of the Free Staters at Modder river, and also President Steyn’s address to the Free Staters. Mr. Kruger said he had learned with regret that "only about 1,000 men of the Free State fought in the last bat- tle and that many others remained in their camps, while their brothers resisted and even defeated their enemy.” These statements appear to give official eon- firmation to the reports of disagreements between the allies. A dispatch from. Modder River, dated Jan. 24, says General Hector Archibald Macdonald has ar‘rived‘and assumed com- mand of the highlanders. Tolstoi’ For the‘ Boar's". ' MOSCOW, Jan. 26.——Count Leo Tol- stoi, in an interview published in the. Russki Listok, denounces .the war in South Africa as showing the “sordid and soulless commercialism that rules . the world.” He says: "I hope daily to hear of a fresh British reverse. It is incompre- hensible to me that England, boasting herself to be the land of freedom, should wish to crush out small republics which have never done her the slightest injury.” Pensions For All. \VASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—A favora— ble report has been made by the senate committee on pensions on Senator Mc— Bride’s bill extending the provisions of the act of 1892 giving pensions to the survivors of the early Indian wars of Or- egon, California, Texas, Florida and'oth- or states.

[Il- Forces Drlve Fllipinol From Trenches at San Diego. MANILA, Jan. 26.—A part of General Sch 'an’s column, consisting of six com pan es with some artillery, drove a form of 500 insurgents from their intrench ments at San Diego, near San Pablo, or Sunday. The enemy officially reported that they lost 67 killed and many wound ed."

A part of his command proceeded to Santa Cruz, killing six in- sin-gents. The white flag has not been seen in the province of Laguna de Bay.
