SpECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

PACIFICATION.

Loypon, Mareh 23, 1 a. m.—The work

of the pacification of the Free State goes

on without interruptior.

The details are not of thrilling interest

tthe results are practical and substan- tial.

One town after anotuer has been occu pied on the line of railway couth of Bloem- } fontein, been circuits and infantry marches eastward to Thata N’cbu and Smithfield and westward to Philippolisand Fauresmith. There are press summaries of these various episodes, but there are no incident cf special sigvificance.

In the southern section the Feee{State has ceased to be. When all the rifles have been collected and ammunition deliv- ered, the march northward will be taken in easy stages, and the sxme process cf

pacification will be continued. THE CAMPAIGN.

Biomrontarx, March 23.—Generals Gatacre and Clements are carrying their columns northward tothe capital, east

and west of the railwayfline. Lord Roterts’ army have with their reinforcements 60,000 men for forciag the passes of the Vaal river. The campaign io Natal has not yet been reopened, but preparations are making for a rapid movement of Buller’s forces with system of improved transport.

The town of Homery has been burned by the Boer’s who are reported to number 5000 in Biggarsberg. Boers are entrench- ed in that quarter to prevent an advance into tbe Transvaal by way of Rorke’s Drift. If General Buller bas in mind a turning by which Laing’s Nek may be averted, military experts aseume that Buller’a army will be mainly employed in expelling the Boers from Natal and occu- pying the southeastern quarter of the Transvaal, while Lord Roberts is march- ing to Pretoria.

The official view, so far as can be ascer- tained, is that the war will be virtually ended by the middle of May.

This forecast does not include a guerilla warfare in the mountain distrizts by which hostilities may be protracted for g:veral monthe.

BOER .LAAGER.

Wararincron, March 2).—An artiller duel took place this morning nerth of the Vaal River.

The battery of artillery under Major Rlewitt sileaced {the Boer guns. The artillery, was supported by the Kim- berley Light Horse.

A reconnaissance showed that Boers held severa! strong laagers.

RUMORS.

Lonpon, March 23.—There are many press despatches respectiog Colonel Plum- er’s operations which, according to Boer accounts, have taken an unfavorable turn

and there have cavalry

for the British side.

There were rumors last night that Mafeking had been relieved, but that General Gatacre had met with a reverse in the Free State.

MINISTERIAL POLICY,

the Free Siate.

There will be no fresh convention or} treaty of peace.

The Boer army must first disappear | construction will be opened by Mr. Cham- berlain. Foreign intervention will not be

tolerated on any terms.

Turkish Ladies.

Lonpon, March 23.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Times says: “Hight ladies of the palace have been sent into ex'le for machina'ions in connection with the Sultax’s fugitive brother-ir-law, Mabmud Pasba. The palace secretary, Kaimal Bey, was suddenly exiled to Hedjiz last Saturday. The reason has not been made publ ce ”

A NON-COMMITTAL GRIT.

| Srir,—Now that the old Tory uteamer iStanley has succeeded in reaching Charlottetown all tair and unbiased per- ‘ons must Come to the conclusion that the new Liberal steamer Minto is the better boat. To adopt the choice language of Mr. 8. C. Moore, of the stationery frm of

ported in the Patriot as saying: “The idea of some people asserting that the Mitto is not @ euperior boat te the Stanley is too ridiculous to merit a r-ply,--such seati- ments emanate either from pitiable ignor- ance or frem a deliberate desire to deceive those whe have never crossed in both boats and hence are not in @ position to judge the merits of either.”

I de not admit that I have ever crossed im either of the steamers, and after reading Mr. Moore’s finterview withthe Patriot reporter I won’t admit that 1 have com. bined business wih pleasure. But Ij will admit have come to the conclusion that the Minto ie a euperior boat to the Stanley, out in what way or menner I do not say, for, before perusing Mr. Moore’s interview I will admit that I bad an idea that in order to make a@ comparison of the re- sprctive work of two steamers it would be necessary for an experienced and cem-

like eouditions end circumstances, But now I will admit and not deny that ac~ cording to Mr. Moore’s opinion as pub- lished in the Patriot this is not necessary.

Many personas will deny that Mr. Moore | ts qualified to form an opinion on the merits of the two steamers, and I will not

I willadmit that Mr. Moore is @, wuch disinterested person; but! will not admit that be 1s either a shipbuilder, @ meehanic, a seaman cr an old seli; but Iwill admit and not deny that he is a relative of Sir Lou's H.

I will admit that Mr. Moore is a strong Liberal ‘and is a member of a firm

tronsge from the Dominion and Loczl ‘ing alone—somewhere in the vicinity of

Dominion Treasury. I will admit that the Stanley reached this city with litte cr no difficulty, whilst it was cousidered that the Minto could not, and I will admit that Mr. Moore has many interests in keeping the Liberal Government in power, and that many persons will on that ac- count discount Mr. Mcore’s opinion; but I deny that avy of these consid >»ratious should weigh with the public when con- sideriug the value of his certificate regard- ing the qualities and efficiency of (he Minto “ under the ski'led guidance of Capt.
