Interesting Particulars of the Struggle Betwecn Great Britain and the Boers.
CANADIANS AT MAJUBA.
The Western Morning News, of Ply- mouth, England, commenting on the part the Canadians played in the sur- render of Gen. Cronje, says: “Of this we are confident. When success has crowned our efforts in South Af- rica, the powers that have shown such an unfriendly disposition will be at some pains to take into consideration not oniy the navy, but the army we can raise within the empire, and they will seethe beginning of nations where there were only colonies. If there is one thing for which we should be more thankful for than another, it is that in dark days our splendid insola- tion disappeared, and we found all round the world the sons of England springing to arms and proving their valour. ‘That is worth all the disap- pointments we have experienced, all the losses we have endured. We are especially glad, too, that one of our magnificent colonies can boast of some- thing which every regiment in the British army would give much to claim. It is the pride of Canada that she

Britain victorious in the Crimea, in India, and in Afghanistan had passed away from her. The circumstances of his hurried departure when he sub- ordinated the greatest personal sorrow to the needs of the country, his feats on the battlefields of old, his tremen- dous personal magnetism, and hs sur- passing kindliness and simplicity are all brought into rapid review by means of conversation or the newspapers be- fore the average Englishman until it is littk, wonder that the hero of Kandahar has reached that pinnacle where his country would deny him _ nothing. “General Kitchener’s automatic way of doing things and his hardness of heart have been so much paraded _be- fore the public since he first acheived greatness that he has lost much of his popularity and while he possesses the national confidence to almost unequal- led extent, it is patent that the nation, as a whole, would rather that the op- portunities fall to ‘Bobs’ than to his iron-willed chief of staff.”

not rob her of this gratification for all | of South Africa. It would have been | a pleasure to knew that it was an/ English regiment which made the final dash which brought Cronje to his knees, but we are ten times more delighted with the thoughts that soldiers from Canada had that honor. The dash forward in the night close to the Boer trenches was a magnificent piece of work, and had the Canadians not been restrained they would have been into the enemy’s trenches in a few minutes. Fortunately, the desired end was attain- ed without a heavy When the Boers saw the Canadians so close to their position hope was abandoned and gave in. Throughout Canada rings the proud cry that the soldiers of the Dominion have avenged Majuba for the Mother Country.
Lord Roberts while inspecting the Naval Brigace on the plain outside Blomfontein, in the presence of many of the townspeople, addressed the men, thanking them for the excellent work they had done in the course of the campaign. He wished good luck to those who were about to rejoin the ship, and expressed the hope that the others would be present at the entry into Pretoria.
The correspondent of the London Daily News at Springfontein, asserts that one of General Brabant’s raids resulted in the capture of valu- able Boer documents, including an official record of their killed and wounded, showing that they have lost a great number. The correspon- dent adds that the record also shows that a false system has been adopted by the leaders in regard to informing ‘the Dutch people of their losses.
LORD ROBERTS
The American corresponclents are all enthusiastic about Lord Roberts and his brilliant conduct of the war. One distinguished publicist writes in a lead- ing New York journal :—
‘« ‘Bobs’ is the hero of the hour even at this stage of the war, which can scarcely be considered much more than initial from the British point of view. He would be granted every
honor in the people’s power to give}
if only public opinion and gratitude be- came operative. Above every other man and every other circumstance he stands out from those grim happenings in South Africa clothed in the halo of victory. Leudly he is hailed as giving

FORMER IRISH VISITS.
On the occasion of Queen Victoria’s earlier visits to Ireland in company with the Prince Consort, she was greet- ed with a good deal of enthusiasm from the people there. On one of these occasions the Queen landed at Cork, and it was in memory thereof that the Cove of Cork received the name of Queenstown, by which it is known co-day. At another time on | making her entry into Dublin a few | months before the birth of the Duke of Connaught, a stout old tady scream- ed, “ Oh, Queenie darlin’, make one of them children Prince Patrick, and all |Oireland will die for you.” ‘The Queen nodded, and when a _ few months later she gave birth to the

CLOTHING THE TROOPS.
The Marquis of Lansdowne made an interesting statement in the Imperi- al Parliament recently as to the supply of clothing to the troops now in the field in South Africa. It is a matter of common knowledge that British troops on active service are now clad in khaki, but it is not so well known

Of these khaki serge suits, 150,000 have been sent out in addition to the two cotton suits each soldier took with him, and from 10,000 to 15,000 serge suits will be forwarded every week till the campaign is over. Each man takes with him two flannel shirts, another 100,000 have been forwarded; and they are now going out at the rate of 25,000 a week. Each man takes a woolen jersey as part of his kit ; 50,coo
additional have been sent out ; and the weekly supply totals 20,000 woolen | caps and belts. Great coats and blan-! kets are being sent out in proportion- | ate numbers. The weekly consign- ment of woolen sacks amount to 50,- 000, and 350,000 have just gone out. For the first time in the history! of the British army every man will be supplied wit. two pairs of woolen drawers ; hitherto only cotton ones have been issued and these only to the cavalry ; 200,000 pairs of woolen drawers have been sent for the infantry, and the supply will be kept up at the rate of 10,000 a week.
In the British House of Commons on Friday last, the parliamentary secretary of the war office, George Wyndham, parried all the questions concerning the relations of Lord Methuen with his subordinate officers, and said he knew nothing confirming the suggestion that General Wauchope had raised objections to Lord Methuen’s plan of battle, and added that no investigation had been pro- posed into the alleged differences be- tween Cecil Rhodes and Colonel Kekewich. Indeed he declared the war Office was not aware that the latter’s authority had in any way been questioned. The only positive answer
gations was to the effect that neither dum dums nor anything in the nature of expanding or explosive bullets had been used by the British troops in South Africa. In regard to the trouble between Colonel Bloomficld Gough and Lord Methuen, Mr. Wyndham said that the former’s command ex- pired March 15 and that his return home previous to that date was due to Lord Merhuen’s action. An investi- gation into this matter he declared would be held as soon as witnesses would return from South Africa.
A question which, in the absence of any news of importance from the seat of war, is generally discussed, is the fate of the defeated leaders, especially President Kruger and Mr. Steyn. It is conceded that they cannot be allowed to remain in South Africa after the close of hostitilties, yet im- prisonment and exile in St. Helena would be a severe and illogical penalty for a conquering Empire to impose. The war would be brought to an end if Lord Roberts where to capture Pres. Kruger and Mr. Steyn, but in view of the difficulty of disposing of them the shrewdest men in and out of the Brit- ish Parliament are hoping they will take refuge in Portuguese territory and sail for Europe by a German ship, never to return.
