SITUATION IN

sttanseenliematimantibaeaanen,

AFRICA.

SOUTH

Scripyer’s Macazive for Fel ruary con tains a number of Among them is one

excellent articles. entitled the Firat Stage of the Boer War, written by Mr. H. J. Whigham, inthe British camp at Mod

der Rver. Mr. Whigman firet describes

the military situation

immediately after the invasion of Netal and Cape Colony by the Boers, and says;

“With practically the whole Natal army loeked »p in Ladysmith the Boers had @ somewhat merry time on the Cape Border. Twenty-five thousand men may seem a large army to defend the (Jueen’s possessions in South Africa when the casual observer ie using a small-scale mep and regards Natal and Cape Celony as one and the same thing. In reality they are as distinct as France and Poland, and even if Sir George White bad not been lecked up by the Poers, he could in no way have reinforced the troops at the Cape.

‘* There is no )ine of railway from Mar- itzburg to Cape Town except by way of Johannesburg, whieh obviously was out of the question. la order to get from Dur-

ban in Natal to anywhere in Cape Colony

) you must embark at Durban and go by

sea to Kast London or Port El zabeth,and go by train from there to your destina- tion. De Agar, for instance, is ae far frem Maritzburgas New York is from Havana, and by no means as easy of accese. Ina word,as soon as Prexident Kruger began his aitack wewere fighting two distinct campaigns, in beth of whieh we were heavily outnumbered and were {urther hardicapped by fighting ina country which was nominally our own, but whose partial hostility was only half corcealed. The Cape Boers were only waiting for the cat to jump aud slready might have risen if it were wot for the difficulties in the way of concentration, The railways, the orly means ef rapid movemest, were stil! in our hands and they lacked aleader. In the meaatime, Kruger, with his alls, Steyn, held the inside position, &nd while abeolutely safe from invasion himeelf, could use his whole available force to overrun British territory and work his eweet @illupon the inhabitants, We were not even strong enough te eeize the two railway bridges. whieh eross the Orange River into the Free State, the main arter- ies by whieh the Boers were able afterward to pass to and fro between Cape Celony and their owa country. We could not, moreover, play them at their own game and armévery burgher ia the two colonies against them. For various reasons the British government retused to call out the burghers and even used the ordinary co- lonial troops very Fparingly until they found that irregular mounted infantry were practically indiepersable.”

Referring to the initial difficulties ever- come by the Britieh, Mr. Whigham re-

marke :

‘“‘Sapposing Chamberlain had forced matters to aa issue three monihs sooner and put an army cerps on the sea ip duly, Natal and the Cape would hace been eren worre off thas they are now. Kruger wou'd have inveded Natal as soon os the order was given to mobilize our army

’ '

eorp?, and Joubert wonld not have fousd 16,000 men werih of Maritzburg when he descended upon Dundee.

‘* Indeed the Government did a clever piece cf work in getting #0 many men into Natal as they actually did before hostilities began.

** Asl write it is just six weeks since the fateful 9th of October. Yet io that sime an army corps ef 30,000 mer has been

organized with its attendant force of 8500

| cavalry, and troops for the line of com-

with every pessible sort ef provision tor their cemiort, has been put on the cea in thirty traseporia, and of that torcea whole division is io day, cn the baske of the Orange River, ready to strike for Kimber- ley, having travelled 6,000 miles by me)

THE D.MLY EXAMINER,

and nearly six hundred m les by land,over & single line of railway through the parch- ed and patblees Karroo,”

He continues:

“ When it is considered that this is by far the largest force tha: bas ever crossed the sea since the days of Xerxes, and is besides the largert British force that bas ever taken the field anywhere in the his- tory of the nation, it must be admitted that the War Office aud tre whole system have covered themselves with glory at least up to the present time. For it is one thing to nove troops by land aad sea; it is quite anether to move 50,090 men iato what is practically a desert, and keep them perfectly supplied with food and the other necessaries of life. In this regard the Army Service Corps has Jone extraordi- nary work Before a regiment of the army cerps landed there was a million pounds’ worth of euppliea at De Aar, withim sixty miles of the Orange !:ver, aud that in spite of the fact that two mcnths agethe Army Service Corps was not even equipped with half ite comple- ment of horses.”

Mr.Whigham points out that “the Orange Free State has twe natural defences in the Drakeasburg Mouniains to the east and the Orange River te the south. It would be practically impossible to force the mountain passes, if the Boers made the slightest eflort to hold them, consequently it may be taken for granted that te invade the Free State at all one must cross the Orange River.” Fortanately the bridg- near De Aar is in British hands and General Frecch commands the bridge at Coles- burg.

A COKRESPONDENT’S OPINION.

The London correspendent ef the New York Tribune, Mr. I. N. Ford, writes :

“*It is premature to forecast the vitimate fulfilment of Bismark’s reputed prediction thai South Afriea would be the grave of the British Empire. It is enough to record avother melancholy mound in the cemetery of British reputation. Among the benlder-littered kopje Buller’s prestige hae been buried by this utter failure of a singularly brilliant and most promising turning movement, which waa ended n retreat, without a sixgle great batil-. He has played for high stakes, Jost Ladysmith, and won nothieg. His own army was rot ‘troeg envugh for the work, and the enemy-was too well eptrenched in an impreguoable position. Warren also has clouded his fame by lack Of tuccess at a moment when he appeared to be training Briti hb soldiers in pract cal wnethods of warfare with awily and re- rourceiul foe.

It vow remains for Roberis and Kit- cheuer to prove whether they can escape the tne terrible mortality among tre British amilitary reputations, They are no. responsible for Gail-r’s campaign in Natal, which was plavoed before their ar rivalin South Africa. Upon them now resis the full burden of ine deliverance of England from a disastrous war, aiter Buller has completely broken down aud ecattered the army.

— According to advices received at Van- couver from the Far East, many of the Japanese newspaper are predicting an early war with Russia. The Japanese troops, it is etated, are ready to resist a possible attack.

MEETING AT CLIFTON?

_— +e

Messrs P. A. Patriquin and Jeremiah S. Clarke kept their appointment at Olif ton Hall on Saturday night. The weather was very unfavorable and the roads bed, but the interest in the work was shown by thirty-four being present. Mr. McLeod was appointed chairman

Mr. Patriquin in his address gave some reasons why P. EB. Island farmera could grow fruit successfully with other farm products. They could work so as to re ceive much more money from the orchard than from any cther equal area where ether crops grew. Hesaid that the Is- land soil wasalmost the tame as that ot

Sparr Point, N. §&., and that the climate wae practically the same, Last apple searon five

farmers living together at Sparr Point had & crop of 8,000 barrele, selling at an aver age ef $2 per barrel, There was good reason to believe that farmers bere would be receiving as much for fruit io twenty~ five years as aay other couatry if they would but go to work in the proper way. Mr. Patriqnin spoke for an beur and gave much valuable instructien to bis hearers. He answered questions at the close of the address,

Messre. Marke, Whitehead and others also epoke,

The black knot on plum trees was die- cussed, Mr. Patriquin mueh regretted the slack enforeing of the law respecting it.

In regard to the packing of fruit, Mr, Patriquim said that cleanliness was a great requirement. He advised the top layer to consiet of wellsc:lered and of medium sized apples, and, if nothing elee, to be a trae sample: varieties on the Island was cussed.

A vote of thanks was moved by Mr. Whitehead and seconded by the chair- man.

LUCKY OWEN SOUND MAN. Charles T. Bye Escapes from Almost Certain Death.

Owax Sousp, Jan. 30.—Mr.Chas. Bye, of this town has escaped from the hitherto inevitable consequences of Diabetes. He bas had this fatal disease for three years and hes been treated by varicus physi- cians in vain-

Diabetes is next to Bright’s Disease the most fatal form of Kidrey Disease. Few people had ever escaped, once its clutebes bad been fastened upon them, until tbe discovery of Dodd’s Kidney Pille.

“I read of the worderful cures Dodd’s Kidney Pilis had made, and concluded to test them myself. I have finished three boxes and am completely cured. Dodd’s Kidney Pilis should be im every housee hold,”
