Transvaalers Attack Dopashoot, and are Believed to Have Lost Heavily—British Losses Slight— Buller and Warren Censured by Roberts — Commissions for Canadians.

SPECIAL DESPATCH

COMMISSIONS FOR CANADIANS.

Orrawa, April 18. —Lord Roberts baa recommended severa! Canadians for com- missions in the army.

ROBERTS’ AND BULLER.

Loxpox, April 18.—The Government has chosen this asthe moment at which to publish a despatch from Lord Roberts

pronouncing censure upon Sir Redvers |

Buller and Sir Chailes Warren, two of the most important subordinate com- mande re,

This despatch, written February the 13th, bas beea in the hands of the War Department for five weeke.

Just why it is published now, in the middle of the campaign, is not understood, unless it ie expected that Generals Buller and Warren will ask to be relieved of their commands.

The revelation of their incapacity must tend to uadermine the confidence of the troops in their leadership.

Lord Roberts’ despatch is a great featare of the Loodon prese this morning.

In an editorial), the Daily News speaks of the somewhat appaling language of the despatch and then goes on to say:

“Upon the whole these despatches are disquieting and dishearteniug in a0 ordin- ary degree. Following immediately upon the recall of General Gatacre, they will create a widespread feeling of uneaeiness and aaxiety,”

TROOPS MOVING.

Lonpon, April 18.— The War Office has receivad the following despatch from Lord Roberts dated, Bloemfontein April 17th: “Our force at Wepener is still sur« rouaded, but it is reported that the enemy are attacking in a very half-hearted man- ner and are anxious about their communi- cations, hearing that our forces are ap- proaching Wepener from two directione,one under General Rundel via Reddesburg and spother uoder General Brabant with Gen- eral Hart’s Brigade in support via Ronx- ville.

On tke re-occupation of Rouxville, April 1éth, the few Boers there retired and Genera) Brabant made some very im- portant arrests.

Vielent storms of rain have somewhat interfered with the march of these columns; but it is hoped they will soon be able to make their presence more decided- ly felt.

General Settle reports {rem Kenhardt, April 14th, that 20¢ Trensvaalers made determined attack on the previous day, on Depashoot, held by a party of Orpen’s Horse. Our lesses were twokilled and one wounded.

The enemy’s losses must have been heavy as they applied tous for docters aad an ambulance.”

ST. JAMES’ HALL.

The fancy sale and ten in St. Jamea’ Hall lest evening, was a decided success. The hall was tastefully decorated and its general appearance reflected great credit upon the taste of the ladies who were ably assisted by Messrs W, A. Stewart, 8S. As McLeod, W. A. Marcin ‘and A. Lord. The fancy table was presided over by Mre. McNeill, the refreshment table by Mra. [T. A. McLean, the candy table by Mrs. J. D. Reid, the ise cream table by Mre. D.B. Macphereon, Mrs. 0. McLennan and the isses = wecLeod. Mrs. Steteon had a second fancy table, and the young ladies of the congregation a third. All were well patronized as the sttendance was large and every, one as usual, seemed to be in sympathy with the effort. In the basement thr e tea tables under tie super- vieion of Mrs. Barilett, Mrs. Rose aud Mre.{James, each assisted by an inde- fatigable corps of charming waitresses, provided ® repast thatwould tempt the most fastidious. The only thing which seemed to impair the enjoymentof the evening wasthe absence of the familiar faee ofthe much esteemed pastor, Mr. Fullerton. The proceeds, we understand, amounted toa little over $300. We con~ gratulate all concerned upon the success of the entertainment.

MR. TARTE IN PARIS,

SEND TROOPS ”’ |

But Merely Allowed Volunteers to g> tothe War—‘‘No Precedent.”

| —-- |

The Soliel, of Quebec, reproduces an interview with Mr. Tarte, published in Le Journal de Paris. Mr. Tarte at first did not wish to express any opinion on the South African war. “Frank declara- tion might srouse the susceptibilities of the Koglisb, without satisfying the} French.” The interviewer, however, in~ sisted, expressing the painful surprise felt in France when it wae known that Canada had consented to the sending of troops te fight against the Boers.

“Bat, my dear sir,” said Mr, Tarte, “you must realizethe situation. Remem- ber the French-Canadian population is now very far from forming ® majority of Con- federation. There are 216 members in the House of Commons, and only fifty~ five oftbem are French-Canadians ; the rest are Boglish, It muet be agreed that, considering our numbers, we are strongly represenied in the Cabinet, since the preei- dent of the council, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, aud myself, are French,

* Tt is quite possible that in their hearts $9 per cent. of the French-Canadians dis- approve ef the war and think that Canada could have put the money spent to more practical use. Yes, it is quite possi-~ ble. But as goed citizens we have to sub- mit to the opinion of the majority,for Can- ada is in reality a republic, sed uvless the miaerity gives way, DO progress car be made. Leet I should be jmieunder. stood, remember that we are loyal to tne British Empire, We are obliged to be fur a)) kinds of reasone, economic and social. This will be easily understood by every Frenebman who has lived in Canada. Moreever, it must be admitied that the British Empire does not worry us. It us ful! liberty to[keep our language leaves aad social orgasization.”

“Besides,” said Mr. Tarte, “Canada hat Trensvaal, She bas oniy authorized the enrolling of volunteers intended for the campaign. She bas clothed and transported these volunteers. That is not quite the same thing.”

The interviewer remarked that it was *‘@ rather eubtle dietinction,” and asked Mr. Tarte what was the subject of his orc- test in thie conneetion.

“Tbe French-Canadians do not wieh the eending of the contingent to South Africa without the previous consent of Parlia- ment, to be considered in any case @ prece- dent.” Mr. Tarte replied. “The excep- tional siroimstances which would other-

wise give occasion for controversy, and the desire to give to Eng- land’ moral rather than roateria!

aid, may have justified the initiative of the Canadian Gavernment. But we could not consider eurselves bound for the fu- ture. England is as much interested as Canada ia the elucidation of this cuee- tion, for if she eould atwili involve the colonies in her quarrels, she would have to aecept the reciprocal position. Migh: not the colomies in certain cases drag her further than she wished to go, and involve her in dissgreeble complications ?”

Persenials For the Ladies.

The ewelle of hat-dom are to be seen at ‘My Store.”

The moat fetching creations of the most fashionable millinery here are ready for your choosing; and it’s easy to choose as there are no fancy prices a!lowed in our millinery department.
