SpectaAL DESPATCH

Orrawa, Dec. 21.—The composition of | the second contingent to join the British | forces in South Africa is no longer a mate ter of speculation.

In the first place, said the Minister of Militia, I may eay that the expression trained men was used in the cable receiv- ed from the War Office,” and in regard to that point the followiog cable was receiv- ed by His Excellency the Governor Gener. al, last evening, from Mr, Chamberlain :

Lonpon, Dec. 20.—With reference to the expression “trained mea,” the Secretary of | State for War explains that the volunteers must be good shots and competen: riders, but need not be members of any regular dril! force.

(Signed) CHAMBERLAIN.

Now as to the composition of the con tingent, continued Dr. Borden, ia the first place the entire contingent will be 1040 in strength.

rifles making 531 of all ranks.

One cquadron and a half squadron will be taken from the police.

The other squadron, with a half squad- ron, will be selected the different cavalry corps and dragoons throughout

from

riders wherever they are to be found, as there are quite a number of them to be had in Western Canada.

The squadrons will have 536 horses. Let us now take the artillery, the Min- ister of Militia went on to say. There will be three batteries. the strength of each being 171 or 513 in ail.

They will have 393 horses.

The artillery will be taken from batter- ies all over the Dominion.

There will be no infantry—nothing but artillery and mounted troops.

l am tryiog now to arrange for tran- sport. I expect that the troops will be ready to sail early in January. That is about all that I can say at present.

But you may depend upon it that there

Has anything been done yet about the command ? was asked.

Ne. there will be that.

It is about as good as settled that the Parisian wi)] be chartered from the Allan Liue for the conveyance of the troops, and probably the Laurentian of the same com- pany, will carry the horses.

Lonpon, Dec. 21.—Genvral Roberts in an interview yesterday, said :

% Tecannot too warmly express my ad- wiration for the spirit which prevaile in our colonies. The action of Cansda will always be a glorious page in the bistory of the Sons of tue Empire. [ look for great things from the men she has sent, and is sending to the front. The reports which indicate that disloyalty exists in the Irish regiments sre absolutely uotrue. Iu the hour of danger, my counirymen have ever been among the first to lay down their lives for Queen and country, and whether it be against the Boers or men of any other nationality,the Irish soldiers will be found

You cannot deny these reports of Irish disloyalty too strongly.”
