Tree fort, the `position originally oc-
oupied by the siege gun on the south-
western he gh•ta.
The Boers got wind of the movement,.
and evacuated the ;position before It
could be carried through. To oover our
advance onJaokal Tree fort a detach-
inent of Baralong natives were dis-
patched to make a feint attack on Fort
llnyman, a new,work recently erected
by the Boers, and threatening our
most advanced western position. They
succeeded in creeping to within 30
yards o2 the enemy, many of whom
were sleeping outside, and when near
the fort poured in two or three rapid
volleys. Trooper Webb got suffecient-
ty close to L11e fort to blow; out the

ed for reinforcements, but the Bare -

from a convenient ditch at Madibi sid-
ing, and the enemy fell beak in confu-
sion, Losing six mon. The Baralonga,
being uonble to carpe with long-range
Eire then commenced to retire.
GC course, It is impossible to prevent
the Baralongs from retaliating by
raids of this description upon those
whom they Dill the murderers of their
women and children; in fact, the col-
onel's refusal to allow them to attempt
the capture of the enemy's big gun
might well have resulted in a mut-
`thy.
ut-
t The great difficullty will come later,
when the enemy commence their re-

will almost certainly want to wreak
their vengeance upon the Boer women
and children.

The British horses are again Ln bad

There is. little doubt that many of
the Orange Free State burghers who
recently turned in their arms to Lord
Roberts have been rearmed.
There are now over 20,000 Boers
within a radius of 20 mills of Bloem-
fontein. Commandants Lemner and
De Wet, wbo led the fighting on last

men ts.
The town of Bloemfontein is quiet.
The fact that the Boers have occupied
the reservoir has had no appreciable
effect so far. The railway is still in
working order.
Bier patrols have been seen within
ten miles to the. west of Bloemfontein.
The British troops are cheerful, and.
anxious to get into action. The drought
continues.

AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.
A most Interesting ceremony took
place at the city limits, where an an -
Aleut gate and castle towers had been
reproduced for the °aoasion. On the
oity side of the gate were the Lord
Mayor and Council, in their scarlet
robes, the mace -bearers in blue silver
and several hundreds of the best
known Irish, who were provided with
seats on stands The Royal! Innlskill-
ing Fusiliers lined the road as a guard
of honor, while behind them werecor-
done of police and lancers and militia.
LIKE A SIXTEENTH CENTURY

Thousands et spectators eagerly
awaited the coming of the Queen.
Shortly before her arrival the
pursuivant-at-acme, wearing a gorge-
ous cap of Royal Heraldy, galloped to
the Lord Mayor, and asked pernussion
for the entrance of the Queen. Grave-
ly and in quaintly worded terms of
courtesy, the Lord Mayor granted the
request. Back ,galloped the pursuiv-
ant-at-arms, the gate banging behind
