The War:in South Africa. .
The reports from South Africa, for some
censiderable time, have been very brief and
onitraeictory. Enough has beeii learned,
-however, to show that things th re are not
in as satiefaetory a condition as ost of us
would like. Although Lord Roberts and
Tinny ot the prominent generels, who wore
engaged under him, haee left Soi •th Africa
and are now in England, and a goodly
number of the rank and file, including most
of the Canadians, have retired from the
scene of aotivity, it meat not be
from this that the war i ended.
concluded
The Boers
seem to be as active andeagressir as they
ever were. They have changed their tactics,
but they eeem to be as troubles° e to, and
as hard to manage, by the Britisli roops as
ever they were. The guerilla mdcle of war-
fare, which they have adopted, seems to be
even more diffieu•It to cope with than when
they were besieging Mafeking, Laclyem•ith
and other places. They do not tte•mpt to
hold any place particularly. Their sole
objeet appears to be to do F much
harm as possible, and at 0 eh points
as they can Mout easily reach. 1 The diffi-
culty with the British forces se ms to be
that they hods° too -much to loo1k after for
the numberof men ornployedr although
they no doubt outnumber their , opponents.
five to one. But they are still inl a country
which is hiteitrile to -them, Their. every
mo-vemertt isfe*rted to their opponents by
i
• the people, while they can get ne infor ma -
tion from th1same source. They have also
ielograph lines and
3
to protect th railways,
other means pf communication aid supply,
as well ats the lives and property of the
people under their charge, who ere hostile
to them. The Boers, on the other hand,
• have nothing of this kind to trouble them.
• Their aim is to atrike down on a peaceful
T7community, :Make A raid, and when. ap-
proached by tlit: British troops, make off to
some place of safety. In other words, the
British have to proteet the country and
the people, and fight the Boers at the 'rime
time, while the Boers have only so snipe the
Britieh, out and destroy railways and other
property, and do all the •Misohief they can.
This is what makes the position so difficult.
The Boer forties ha,ve once more invadedeCape
Colony, but to what extent is not defiditely
known. It hie's° stated that there is fear
• of a rising among the Cape Dutch, who
have thus far remained loyal and true. If _
tine sheuld recruit, the position will be
more difficult still. .
Some of the reverses which have befallen
the British troops are almost inexplicable,
and would lead to the supposition that there
is inexcusable slackness somevitere. For
•
instance, a few days ago, a British post was
surprised by a force of Boers, several British
killed and over two hundred taken prison-
ers. In this town there was a large force
of British soldiere ; they had been there for
some time; they were well supplied with
ammunition and had several large ,gu.ne.
That a position of this kind„ should be _sur-
prised anclicaPtured by a handful of Boers ie,
as we have already eaid, inexplicable. This
and other disasters that have occurred dur-
ing the war, go a long way to confirm the
belief which exists, that the British soldier
is as brave as ever he Was, but that they are
badly officered, and that this branch of the
British service eadlyneeds reconstruction.
There seems to be too many drring•roorn
eoldiere among the officers,-meete evhce. do
not know their duty, ap are too pr d and
e
stupid or indolent to lea it, and ho, in
this way permit their men to tered
• and their country's cause to suffer.
We have thus given the dark side." There
• is also a bright side, although at: best it is
not very bright. A few days age a com-
mittee of of influential Boers, representing a
• large number of the best people, waited on
Lord Kitchener, vtho now has full command,
to see if teems oould not be made that would
• ecieure peaoe and atop the present carnage
and terrible destruction of property.'Kitcht
ener met this emennittee- in the most friend-
ly and conciliatory spirit, andi'after pointing
out to the -m the hopeleasnesa of the struggle
in whichtheir fellow countrymen are now
engaged,- promised them, onl.behalf of the
Britieh (lovernment, the utmost freedom
that any people could desire, short of their
independence. He also assured them that
their generals and leading men who are now
engaged in warfare, -if they surrender, will
be treated in the mbet lenient manner, and
that then- under them will be given their
property and their homes, as far ate it is
possible to do 80. In short, no person, who
will settle down to peaceful pursaite, and
engage in the improvement of the country
and obey the laws of the land, will be pun-
iehell or molested, no matter what their
preeeot poeitim in the war niay ,he. It is
eaid that It:in:bettor's address and promisee
had a, most satisfying effect on the counnit-
tee, and they expressed then:selves as more
than pleased with their interview, and
promised to do all in their power to spread
his view:: arnong-the people and to induce
:hem to ceftee hoetilitiee. It is expected 1
that this interview and the pacific position -1
teken by Kitchener will have a benethial 1
end peacifyiug influence upon the people, 1
- end it is hoped that a peaeeful solution •of 1
.1.
the struggle will be aer nged in this way. In
the meantime, Kitob ner ,seems to be :de-
voting his particular a tention and strength
towards hunting • own Dewet, and
should he succeed in this, he will turn
his attention to Both and Steyn. p he
captures these three I adore, he milli •not
have much difficul w th any of the others. -
It is now:becoming ab ndbeitlyevident ,th at
the Boer People as a hole are as tired of
• thewar' as the British are,' and are as anx-
ions for -it to end, and iow that the leaders
ttregiven to understan that in the event Of
surrender, they will •ot be severely dealt
with-, but will to tr ated *ith. extreme
leniency, it would elm stseein as if the end
of the -struggle' was co mg into view._ Bub,
'the destruction and de astation of prOperty
must be terrible, and such as the country
will not recover from for years. Had the
Boors given in when retoria was captured
and Kruger left for fo eign parts, all classes
of Boers weuld have been in as good a
position and would he -e been as fairly and
as leniently dealt wit as the will be now,
and much .of the dev station and destruc-
tion of property wh ch hes taken place
would have been avoi ed. The longer the
war lasts the worse it will be for the coun-
try and -the people.

Transvaal and SoztkA-frican war, althpugh

moos, is but 26 year* of age, and looks even
younger. He is note as a newspapercore

the early part of the war, and after being
retained as a prisone - for some time, made
his escape, and in do ng so had many nar-
row escapes and safe ed much hardship and
privation. He'has h d a good deal of ex-
perience for a man of his years.

New York is suppoe d to -be one of the most
