When Cronje from his rock-ramparts at Magersfontein saw the British Field- Marshal massing forces between the Orange River and the Modder, he fail- ed altogether to grasp what his great opponent was going to de with them.

How could he go to Bloemfontein, and teed fifty er sixty thousand men by convoys across ninety miles of veldt? Now, if there be anything, Mr. Cronje, of which we should be cautious, it is that about which we are quite positive. As the moody prisoner does his silent marches in St. Helena to-day he is convinced of the truth. Even when Cronje learned to his horror that

It was necessary to keep these worthy men and their commandes on the railway, and actu- ally in use of it, until our commander- in-chief was ready to take it from thein. Gen.

One would lke to have asked him, ‘ What on earth do you mean by coming away from Colesberg hat atime likethis?’ Your correspona- ent at the front was in like case. ‘It passes comprehensien,’ said he, ‘that our cavalry should be withdrawn at this moment and we are actually be- ing driven into Rensburgand Arundel, if indeed, Naauwpoort is safe.’

The retreat proved to be splendid strategy. Dela Rey and de Weit followed up their imagined viciories. It was only when they learned that Cronje was surrounded, and how much they were wanted to save him, that ih.y discovered how successfully they had been befooled. They fled too late; simultaneously Stormberg and Coles- berg fell into our hands ; Gatacre and Clements followed on the heels of the retreating commandos, and so saved the railways. Lord Roberts reached Bloemfontein on March 13, and on the very next day Gen. Pole-Carew, with a strong force, was off to Spring- fontein, and there he joined hands with Clements and Gatacre. Thus the all-important link of 120 miles of rail- way from Norval’s Pont on the one side, and Bethulie on the other, to Bloemfontein was saved; and it was

Boxer placard in prose :—

The relatives and friends of all around notice recently that members of the Protestant and Roman Catholic religions poison the wells with poison- ous powder, and that whoever drinks the water have their lungs and intestines rotten within eighteen days. Two men have been arrested by us at Liu Li Chuang, and we find they have poison all over their bodies. They are

CHINESE BOXERS’ METHODS.

There is no doubt that in China

there is a general hatred of all for-

eigners. Even in calm and peaceful

times this hatred exists as a smoulder- |

ing fire, ready to break out on any

provocation. ‘The prevailing ignorance

of the state of things in other countries

renbers it an easy matter for any

demagogue to excite this smouldering

hostility into a flame. The people are

ready to believe the most absured

falsehoods about Christian missionaries

and all foreigners. And it must be

admitted that the prcsent condition of

things, when there is so much. talk

about the division of China among the

European nations, furnishes a plausible

pretext for a movement for the expul- |

sion of all fo:eigners, although the

European Legations «n Pekin are

simular to those that exists in all

civuized countries, withuut any objec

tion. The Tientsin correspondent of

The London Standard recently gave a

cuuple of examples of the kind of

incendiary literature circulated by the

buxels to excite the hatred of the

people against Europeans. The first

in the original Chinese is in vers?

adapted to be easily remembered. It

will be seen that the authors of this lit-

erature have great confidence in the

dense ignorance of the people:—
