They came at , a , time when -mounted troops were,most erge,ntly required, and they had, aone their duty in quite a ,epienaid manner. There was the greatest difference between cavalry- men who ima occaelonally to fight on, root and infantrymen who had earnatineee to be put on ponies or norses in order to enable them to move queekly ribentthe country. The , . one ,would always remeen cavalry, and the other would always remain infantry. Under present conditions, when they bad got rifled that could reach 2,000, yaras and kill men at that die- tance, It would be folly- for cavalry to expose thems,elves on horseback and be knocked over and meke them- aelyes useless as combatants.

Lord Kitchener had planned to force teen) to winter in the Northern Transvaal and fight there, or at least to hold them until after the South African winter, when the busli valat es 111001: unhealthy for whites, when it was calculated that they would then mane south and sur- render."

But catch a eevere at- tack as that delivered by General Delarey at Vladfontein last Wodnes- doe', beside reviving the panic tem- per of the: scattered British columns, evhiclo are moving without local know- ledge of the country, will prevent Lord Kitchener from transferring enough men to eject the Boers from Cape Colony.

London, eJune la -Though no offi- cial information is forthcoming, in- quiries result hi showing that the statement printed in the Daily Chronicle about a week ago in re- gard to the number of soldiers serv- ing sentences in Portland Prison for ',various offences was somewhat exaggerated. There are about 10 of these prisoners, whose chief of- fence was sleeping on sentry duty in South Africa. The alironiele stated that three. officers and about 100 men had been sent back from South Africa for punishment. The majority were said to be ordinary offenders, bet the officers were said to be guilty of treasonably aiding the Boers and one of them was so influential that he succeeded In having the names of all three euppressed. According to the Daily Mail, one of the soldiers accused of /sleeping on duty, a young volunteer, was sentenced to eight years' penal /serv- itude for this offence. This, how- ever, is probably ao exaggeration. „, aaree cl thou ht 1t1iqfkiug .eaue W eord Kitchener, bia thanked Goil , he had rejected his terms.

London., May 81. -Despatches from Klerksdorp say General Babington's columns in returning to that post, bad an exciting time. The advance oonsisted of 25 New Zealanders, who, as soonas they sighted some 150 Beers, charged the enemy, whereupon the latter fled. On UM left of the New Zealanders Was it party of Bushmen, a,nd on the right the Imperial Light Horse. Mc chase .went 0.11 for miles, the pom-porn join - lag L11 accelerating the en em y's flight. Twenty-Tive Boers were driv- en, into the arms of Col. Dixon's col- umn, and were captured. The Whole of the convoy was secured by Gen- eral Babington. The burghers in the district traversed by the column seemed completely disheartened, and expressed diseatisfaction with the commandant, whose colossal fabrica- tions they are apparently beginning ao see through. Food 7711$ very scarce in the houses visited, only mealies and 'meat being seen. The stock was taken by the column, and the wo- men and children, brought to the re- fugee Immo, which hies received 600 secessions ia a week. -- DoWet's elevernents.

The rePIY which the War Office. vouchsafes: "We have no official in- formation," bas aroused some mis- givings. London, June 2. -Suspicions are again excited by the lack or details respecting the battle fought at Vlak- fontein.. It is not probable 'that the War Offlee is deliberately suppress- ing despatches from General Kitch- enere and that a seriene reverse bars as General Kitchener ints told the story or the battle briefly, and is not disposed to magnify the importance of a.nything connected with the campaign, lent cannot with- hold the list of casualties. The ab- sence of Mr. Brodrick may explain the reticence of the officials in Pall Mall, the stronghold of red tape, and the details or the battle may not be accessible to the few straggling correspondent FS remaining in •the field. There is 00 anxiety among military men, since the Boers are known. to have been firmly repulsed, but there lire strong suspicions the t the British were aga in off their guard, and that the 11101181' 10Seee were caused by their being attacked unexpectedly.

The reports given out by the etrikers were to the effect that many of the employers had ac- ceded to *their demands, and this cheered the non-union num, many of whom had stopped work when the order came to their fellows.

St. Paul,' Jane 1. -After proving a taaltor to his comrades in arms in the Philippines in a sehinit endeavor to mitigate the rigors of own prison' life, the Rev. Leonidas Brown, 'of St. Paul, is thought to have fallen a victim to the bolos of the insurgents. • . Brown was a Canadian, having been born In Montreal. He was a student at Hemline College, gradu- ated 'from there, and was ordained a minister in the Methodist Mauch. Hs was placed in charge of the Me- thodist Church et North St. Paul four Veers ago. He was an immedi- ate social star in that village, but soon became engaged to a mmtty young woman, daughter of one of the pillars of his church. But rurnore of strange co'nduct soon began to oir- Debate, turnore which culminated in the Minister s arrest, August 3, 1897, on a complaint made by Harslet coininunicatlon from the coast. Meat - time we were carr;ying on a siege of Ladrysnuth and Kimberley and Mafeldng. We were etternatiag to defend a border line stretching clear across the 'southern Lem of the re- public, and another long lime on the northeast. And finally a lot of the fighting men were tied nip at home maintaining a commissariat and the ,government's affairs at Pretoria tenet johanneebreag. Yon can Imagine leoW, many men, this left in the fiela 'To -day the shoe is on the other foot. England's victomes nod her strength is her weakness. It is Eng- land vete =Mt DOW maintain a. de- fence, of Pretoria and aolianneebing. It le England wilro most feed the thlousands who have been gathered into thiege cities from the miles of sorrounding territory to prevent them from gaving comfort to the en- emy. • Seventy thousand Boca women and children are held prisoners, and no matter how cruel they may be dis- posed to be they cannot let them 'starve. Then there are the 250 000 SOldlere to be fob. In order to feed the 600,000 odd people who are tbus dopendages of England, Kitchener to- day le obliged -to keep six long lines of communication open from the coast to Pretoria. Every time he sends out an expedition it must be a large one. It must use scouts, marry an endless amount of supplies and camp equip- age, and maintain a cumbersome mobility. What is the result? Para- doxically speaking, when he comes up with the Boer, the Boer is gone. Or while this ponderous expedition is on the move, small commandoes are snip- ing off men and cutting out supply wagons and sometimes whole detach-, meets of men. There is nothing left for the Boer to, do now but fight Ills family Is scattered or imprisoned; his buildings have been destroyed ani his property confiscated. He has no one to feed but himself, and his equipment is 150 rounds of ammunition, his Mouser and the clotheson his back. In one capture of the Englis0 train the Boers got enough ammunition and supplies to maintain the wax for t3vo emirs. The Boers can maintain this kind of fighting for years. But Eng- land cannot stand the draM on the treasury and that in itself will settle the war." • " How many men do yon figure the Boers have in the Tiald to -day ?" the commandant was asked.
