OME FEATURES OF THE WAR.

The war in South Africa has now asted 120 days.

The British have lost in _ killed, rounded and missing at least.10,000 nen.

A conservative estimate places the soer losses at 2,000

In Pretoria there are upwards of 2,- ;0o British prisoners; at Cape Town | there are 500 Boer prisoners.

At Nicholson’s nek about 800 Brit- sh officers and men, and two-thirds of , . mountain battery were captured, and some 650 prisoners and two guns fell nto the hands of the Boers at Storm- berg. Eleven guns were also taken by the Boers at Colenso.

The British plan of campaign ofa triple advance has failed at every point.

Gen. Buller suffered a serious re- pulse at Colenso on December 15. In his official report to the War Office : he untimated that if Colonel Long hadnot neglected the proper precautions'he (General Buller) had ordered him to } take the resulc might have been dif. ' ferent.

Buller’s campaign received its coup de grace last week. A flanking move- ment, underthe immediate command of General Warren, failed signally, and a general withdrawal of the British forces south of the Tugela was the im- mediate result. General Buller’s de- spatches suggest that, just as he held Long directly responsible for the Colenso failure, he considers that an unnamed officer's. abandonment of Spion kop was the immediate cause of his latest defeat.

Did Buller miss his great opportuni- ty when the Boer attack on Ladysmith was made on January 6, and when he contented himself with a reconnais- sance instead of making an effort to force the passage of the Tugela ?

Ladysmith has now been closely ia- vested for days. A despatch from a_ reliable correspon dent received in London just before the siege began said there were provisions and ammunition enough to last three months, That limit is now being reach- ed.

THE SAILORS AND THE SNIPER

Some few days agoa_ correspondent at Ladysmith described the sniping tendencies of two old Boers, who were in the habit of going out in the morn-

ing with their lunch-baskets and Martinis and sniping all day. One of

these two veterans was nicknamed by the garrison ‘Old Mortality,’ and the other ‘Bluebeard’. Ina message this morning, Mr. Nevinson announces, that the Boer snipers along Bells Spruit to the north of the of the town, were taken in hand by the Natal Naval Volunteers with their three pounders, with the result that amongst others the famous sniper ‘Old Mortality’ has end- ed his shooting for the season.—Lon-- don Chronicle.

A TERRIBLE BURIAL SCENE.

Mr. M. H. Adcock, of Chariton Kings, a suberb of Cheltenham, has | received a letter from his son, Sapper | of the Royal Engineers, with the Kim- berley relief column, in which the writer Says :

‘'T witnessed one of the most hor- rible scenes that evera lad could wit- ness last night. About eight o’clock some officers of the Army Medical Cerps came along and asked for vol- unteers to bury the dead. About twenty of usturned out and went. We}

Britain and the

\ —we put fifty-three Scotsmen into it —thirty-four of the Black Watch alone! It was something horrible, and every man of us was crying all the time we worked ; and when after we had placed them all in, the burial service was going on before we covered them over, three or four fainted, while the others cried so loudly that you could hardly hear the minister. After the bagpipes Had played the Dead March, we covered them over, and started on another grave, when some of our

‘gallant sailors came and relieved us,

and we all went back to our train cry- ing.”

IN WELLINGTON’S DAY

The criticism ofthe British generals in the field has led to the publication of the following extract frem an officer’s letter written from the Peninsula show- ing that the great Duke himself was

not regarded either with love or confi-

dence by all the officers under him: Frontiera, March 14, 1813.

Lord Wellington is now as severe as he was before lenient and orders a general Court-Martial for the slightest alleged offences: his amongst the Army at learst, is nearly at an end, and his reputation as a general has suffered material diminution, as _ it is notorious to every officer in this country that he was most completely out-manoeuvred by Soult, and that the disparity of force was was by no means so greatas represented in the despatches

This was writen March 14, 1813.

Wellington defeated Soult on the Pyrenees, July 28, 1813, and again at Toulouse (final), April 10, 1809.

The writer of the above had been in the Buenos Ayres expedition of 1807 the Walcheren expedition of 1809.

It is remarked in this connection that the adverse criticisms of commanders, even by officers at the front, need not be taken too seriously. As for the cri ticisms of the newspaper warrior it is not worth counting in most cases.

ALL THE NURSES REQUIRED.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts author- izes the representative of the Associat- ed Press to say that as a result of his inspection of the hospital service at Cape Town he is_ perfectly satisfied that everything medical skill suggests for the benefit and comfort of the sick and wounded has been done. He is satisfied the home authorities are send- ing out all the nurses who will possibly be required.

An officer of the Coldsteam Guards who was wouned at th battle of Ma- gersfontein, says in a private letter from Wynberg hospital :—‘“A Canadian lady, who is a sister in my ward, is kindness and gentleness itse'f. * I shall owe her a big debt of gratitude by the time she has pulled me round.”

EQUAL TO AN MP.

When General Hector Macdonald, who succeeds to the command of the Highland Brigade with Lord Methuen in South Africa, was madea sergeant inthe g2nd—Macdonald, as_ is well known, having risen from the ranks— his colonel addressed him as follows : ‘Corporal Macdonald, we have no fault to find with you. You _ have behaved well, and I am going to make you a sergeant. Remember, a sergeant in the g2nd jHighlanders is equal to a member of Parliament, and don’t for- get it, and your many responsibilities.” ‘And I never did,’ said the gallant officer, when as Colonel and the hero of Omdurman, he told the story.—

had to walk about a mile to the place. | Westminster Gazette.

life of the officer who was leading the

West Yorks, was fired by Pte. Uroser, |

He describes the “T with some other

of that regiment. incident thus:

comrades, were ordered to the front, |

being scouts, and with a lot of creeping and dodging I almost got to the top (of the hill), when I spied one of the Boer sentries on one knee. He loaded his rifle and then he, awoke two more who were lying asleep behind a bush, so I reported to the major who was leading the charge. He then asked the Boer what he was doing there, and the Boer at once brought his rifle to the ‘present’ and fired at the major, and I being laid about 10 yards from the Boer shot’ him before he did any Gamage. At the same time the lads from behind set up a deafen- ing cheer and cries of ‘““Majuba_ Hill, lads.” But the alarm had been given

f to the others, who took their horses

and fled.”

SOME WONDERFUL ESCAPES.

Some wonderful escapes are related. While a man was lying in bed a shell entered the window of his room, passed over the bed a few inches above him, and buried itself inthe floor, throwing it up and wrecking the woodwork of the house. A carbineer was sitttng on a box outside his tent, when a large fragment of a shell passed between his legs, destroyed the box and smashed three rifles within the tent. A trooper stood between two horses, both horses were killed, the man was uuburt. A

shell pierced the wall of a room where |

a civilian was shaving. It passed with- in two feet of the man, wrecked the room, but Jeft him with scarcely a scrath.—Ladysmith Correspondence Londen Mail.

UNDIGNIFIED BUT UNAVOID- ABLE.

A colonel who is with Baden-Powell, writing home, describes how the Boers harass the British when they go to water their horses, and describes a sharp engagement, during which the writer and some other troopers dashed across bushy rise. He continues: “We were then mistaken by some fel— lows on our side for

such a nell of a fustilade that I dropped on my stomach and didn’t | rise off itfor four hours. We then |

wormed ourse’ves along to the end of | the rise, but the Boers saw us anda| torrent of bullets came over. We were | under the whistle and buzz of bullets | for half an hour, and could hear shouts and conversation of the Boers.” The Boers ultimateiy retired in another | direction, and the writer finding his | horse had stampeded, crept back to | the British lines, two bullets singing | over him <s he jumbed the zaraba.
