Interest in the South African war seems to have aImoet entirety died out. Reports from that conntry are very meagre, and nothing of perticuIar interest has taken j place for sonss weeks.

It is reported that General Roberts will rsaurri to England in October, for a rest. Seqrer measures are being used with the burgers who haveaurrendered, and Ma expected that they will, al this way, be made leaa troubleaome.
