QUESTIONS ANSWERED, Mr. Bell of Addington, was informed by Dr. Borden, that the inejor pore tion of the militia, will be ordered out for drill in eamp this year in June as liattal, and the rest in September. The Minister of Militia was unable to de - alienate the particular corps winch will drill in each mouth, as the railitary programrae for the annual camps had not yet been made tun Mr. Marbotte enquexed whether an appropriation of 0,000 was ever grant- ed or Promised for the purpoae of rank- ing a survey with ,a view to lowering the level ot Lake Temiscanaingue.

He wanted to 'prevent the employment ot Chinese labour on the construction or operation of the road, but found only 21 members of the House who agreed with him. Most of these who voted against hisa did. so because they thought his method of treating the question was unwise, and not because they disagreed with his general idea of restricting Chinese im.. igration. , THE REPORT OF THE G.O.C. Mr. Prior enquired when the militia report would be printed. and whether it would contain the report of the G. • Dr. Borden replied that it was now in the printers' hands, and would con- tain stuth parts ot the general officer's report as the Minister of Militia thought necessary. • PROIII,BITION DISCUSSION.

London, Saturday, April 14. -It has recently been limited that the rebel- lion in Cape, Colony was completely stamped out, but news from Calm Town hardly accords with these asser- tions. It le paid that tho attitude of the Dutch farmers in thei south-west- ern districts of the colony, notably Swellendam and. Caledon, causes grave apprehension.; A prorainent Dutch fariner there declares that a majority 02 the Dutch in the districts are only awaiting tbe right moment to rebel. Ile says that he alone nee eufficient Mauser rifles and ammueition \to arra 000 men, He adds that they evill make the firat move in Caledon, wbere they will seize the keye of the magistracy. The districts are rnouutainous, Tne revival of the rebellioas spirit is doubtless due to the general belief of the members, of the Afrikander Bond the t the recent British misheps in the eree State are the signal for Boer vie - tors. The Dutch believe that the war will last for three years, diving to the Boers end. the rebel§ adopting guerilla tactics. BOERS' NEW TACTICS. COlumns Enabled to Move Ahnost as Quickly as Cavalry.
