A, despatch has been received from Spearman's camp, that Gen. Wised - gate has succumbed to the wounds he received in the attack upon Spon kop. A despatch from Spearman's Camp, says :-The battle- continues. The in fantxy fire is concentrated at the cre,t of the hill, near the, centre. The. Bosses are holding the corresponding crest in the valley. It virtually is an artillery bombardment. The Boars are replying occasionally and moving their guns when they are located, by the •British, but seldom firing more than three shots from one place.

'A despatch from Spearman'a Camp says :-Details of Lord Dundonald's engagement west of Acton Holmes on Jan. 17, show that the American Colt gun did great work for the Bri- tish. As previously cabled, . the British and Boers made ac rush for a kopje, which, unknown fo either, had been previously • occupied by ea de- tachment of the Natal Carnineers. The British, of course, won the posi- tion, and then turned their Colt gun on the enemy, who could net stand against its fire. Twenty-three prisoners were taken. fi'try fraternized 'wiCti the British; and sl%awed no signs of animosity. the Beitish, troops displayed great coAsideration for the wounded Boers, an everything possible was done to alleviate -their pain. . The hanors of the engagement at Acton Holmes were with the Imperial Light- Horse, Natal Carbineers, and sixty men of the Mounted Rifles.

They refused to fight their countrymen, and were alsot in the market place. METHUEN'S VIGOROUS ATTACK. A despatch from Modder River says: -A vigorous reconnaissance that was made last night engaged the enemy's °maim on the kopjes and highlands. The British Light Infantry advanced smartly in extended order to protect a half battery of howitzers, which swiftly took a position on the left facing the Iciapjes. The guns were unlinabsred and in action within a couple of minutes of the time they halted. There was strong and inceasatit shelling between the howitzers and two Boer guns in Woofs in the hills. The British long-range guns sup- ported the howitzers. The firing last- ed from 5.55 to 7.80 pan. The Boers were facing a strong sun- set, and this seemed to hinder their marksmenship.• Though they shelled both the infantry and artillery they hit nobody: The enemy's loss, if any, is maknoWn. The infantry were withiri seeing' dis- tanee of the Boers' trenches, They were wide and 'deep,. and banked with sand. They were strongly oecupled. • A TERRIBLE ORDEAL. A despatch from London says: -The assemblage in Pall Mall outside the War Office, and those privileged to wait in the lobbies, reluctantly dis- persed at midnight, after the final word that nothing more would be an- neunced. The morning papers went to press with• conjectures• and foreeasts of all sorts, striving to guess out some- thing from Spion kop. Topography maps show that Spion kOp is the highest part of a rocky plateau. Eastward for eight miles are the Boers' positions along the Tugela, Northewestward from Spion kop the plateau runs gradually up to a great spur of the Drakensberg. Gen, Buller's infantry, to reach the summit of Spion kop, must eros a ne- tural glacis three-quarters of a mile wide and clirab 500 feet up a steep Nobody here seems to know, not even the War Office, what Lord Rob- erts has done with his large reinforce- ments. Six thousand troops awaited his arrival at Cape Town, and since then 6,000 others have reached there. Military critics are all hoping that a good share of these 12,009 have gone to help( Gen, 'Buller, and they argue that a few days' wait may make him strong enough to overcome tbe deadlock.

The network itself is divided into a central space, spiral space and frame- work. The central space has three dis- tinet parts -the centre, or nave, the n zone of defence and the open sone. e The nave is aeltirge as the spread e of the legs of the splder that wove the web, When the insect is on the watch -, for its prey it is almost always stretch - 1 ed, out on this nave, where it lies all ' night. A careful examination shows e that the tipe of the feet are twisted in e the net, and the least movement at any point is immediately felt by the spicieS, whose twist has tightened the threads, so that his sensitive legs will feel the slightest touch, Perhaps the spider Is also aided in this natural telegraphing by the light fibre that connects the nave with this own body. At any rate, the chief object of this mode of construction seems to be that the spider remains attached to his web, whether he be after his prey or leaves his net for a moment to get ready for attacking an enemy, oi, when af- ter 'a sortie, he wishes to return to the web. The save is woven either shut or open. The weave coverts it with irre- gular meshes, across whIch we can gen- entity, see the 'prolongations, of the radial coedit, forming a zigzag, The closed( nave is covered with a woof of closely netted white silk; the open nave is generally found in horizontal webs. The sone of defence is made up of spiral lines, four or ten in number, immediately surrounding the nave. These spirels do not cross the radials at right angles, but are woven round them lengthwise at the points of creasing. The open zone is that part of the central space between the zone them all, lvi‘turally conducive to de- moraliaatio . It looks, therefore, as if imperative military necessity would require the relief of sonie of the ac- cused officers before a successful cam- paign can be made possible. Doubt must be replaced by confidence, more especially whenthe doubt goes to such extremes as now appear both in England and at the seat of war itself. The fact that this popular and mili- tary distrust has no reasonable foun- dation and seems to be without special ustification does not lessen that ne- cessity, though it is not probable, it s hardly possible that any better of - kers for the task can be found. The experience of the aeenerals at- readt in command has been of the, anie kind as that of the British offi- era who have been awarded the most distinction and are still held in the highest esteem by the English public. their reputations are inflated do are 11 British military reputations in- lated, from 'Wolseley and Roberts own.

There is a great deal of ignorance as to what " silencing a gun" means. A gun ia silenced When the gunners are disabled or driven bank and the gun or guncerriage deranged. it is a conniaon enough phenomenon for wea- trona whieh have thus been silenced to re -open fire after repairs have been made, the gunners rallied, or a troll gun crew obtatned. It is a rare thing for a gun to be no clanaged by hostile fire that it cannot be refitted and brought into lotion again. "I saw," says Prince Kraft of the German Ar - finery in the battle of Gravelotte, many guns during the eannoriadely. ing miserably on the ground 'winged,' that is, With a broken wheel.

It would have been impossible for. the.spider to cross the road or the wa-• ter without finding insurmountable' obstacles if the insect had crawled. He has availed himself of air currents, for stretching the franie of the web. One observer say a that he has often seen spiders borne to their work by ettrrents of air, and that after laying the frame the sp:der walks on it to weave the other threads and radials. The spider seems to attach great inn portance to the threads (of the frame, frequently using there for the con- struction of now webs; but if the threads of the frame are destroyed the position elf the new web is altered The spider works most industriously at its web at night, but it has been noted, that if there is no breeze it can. not work. TYPHOID FEVER IN SOUTH AF.; RICAe Typhoid fever is the most prevalent and fatal disease in South Africa. In the Galeaka Gaika war it was stated by the principal mediae' officer to have been undoubtedly the in,ost serious disease during tbe war. I/1 the Zulu war of 1878 typhoid appeared at the headquarters of Relpmakaar and at Rorke's, Drift in the aniddle of Febru- ary, accompaniect by diarrhoea and dy- sentery. Helpmaltaar became so un- healthful that it had to be evacuated, The troops were moved to Utrecht and Dundee but the fever imnudiately brolte It is not contended that water way not be a vehicle, and possibly the prin- eipal vehicle of typhoid infection, but there are teeny outbreaks that cannot ' receive so comfortable an explanation.. Some of them are strikingly limited and their limitation is rarely 00 am, cordance with the distribution of the water supply supposed to be pollut- ed. Dr. James Allen of Pietermaritzburg from his observations in South Africa, came to the conclusion that tuphoid fev- er depended chiefly upon infected cat- tle. He describes a specific enteritis occurring in calves, subject to re- lapses and very contagious, and holds that the excrements of animals affect- ed with this distemper, on gaining ac- cess in any way into the human body, will give rise to typhoid fever. • He holds that typhoid fever thus arose in • a great measure among the British troops .in the Zulu war."
