AS TO SOUTH AFRICA.
Correspondent Robinson of the Londun Daily Telegraph relates the following as in his opinion one of the finest instances of courage and readi- ness shown in the South African war :
“It happened this way. A party of
Rimington Scouts were galloping back, hotly pursued by a large body of Boers, when they came to a fence of stout wire. They had not a wire-cutter among them, and so turned and_ galloped along, hoping to come te some open- ing. Far from this, however, they came to a second fence running at right angles to the first. It seemed that they must be all shot down or captured, when a trooper—Fraser was, I think, his name—took his feet from the stirrups, rammed in his spurs, and went straight at the fence. The impact was tremendous, killing the horse and throwing the man some twenty yards like a stone from a catapult, but also snapping the wires. His comrades rode through the gap, and picking uf his senseless body, escaped. By a miracle he wasn’t dead, and_recover- ed. I think such a deed as that done in cold blood is hard to beat; for, as all horsemen know, by all the rules of the game he rode to certain death.” *k * x
In the London Daily News Mr. Mortimer Menpes says of an inteview with General Hector Macdonald:
Sir Hector Macdonald talked very freely. You can not call him a pro- Boer, but they have no_ keener admirer of their fighting qualities. What struck me about this self-made general was his dislike of luxury. When all the officers were enjoying the com- parative luxury of Bloemfontein, he stuck to his tent outside. He preferred to rough it on the ground. He give a good illustration of the enormous diff- culties of the Intelligence Department during the war. “I'll tell you what it is,” said he, in his soldierly way. “I trust nobody in Bloemfontein—not men—eertainly not women. ‘The children are the only safe draws. What I dois to stuff my pockets full of sweets, go out for a waik, and talk to the children. They tell you where their papas have gone.” Then he went on to compare fighting in Scuth Africa with fighting in the Soudan. In the Soudan it was’ child’s play—easy country—no enemy. Here a fearful country and a brilliant enemy. ‘‘Now, how far do you think that kopje is off,”—pointing to a hillock which ap- peared to be quite ciose, but which was really some miles off. ‘Well,’ continued Sir Hector, “you would think it was an easy think te take my’ brigade there, wouldn’t you? And it looks flat country between ws, doesn’t
it? Yet, there 10,000 Boers could conceal themselves im that wavy plain. ”

Lord Cecil Manners thus describes Colonel Blake of the Boer Irish Bri- gade: “He struck me as a man of re- markable and original personality, 0! very powerful physique, with a fine bead and countenance which might belong toan enthusiast and a fanatic His conversation, ot which there is no lack, and which is plentifully adorned with Western flowers of speech, bears evely trace of sincerity, and I should say that he honestly believes himself to be Aghting on the side of right against might, and thinks that Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Rhodes, and Sir Al- fred Milner are really the villains he represents them to be. Evidently keenly sensitive to public opinion as expressed in the newspapers, he rather amused me by exhibiting a remark- able knowledge of the comments made on his life and behavior by every sort of English paper—London and _pro- vincial,”

In describing the arrival at South- ampton, England, on July 20 of the steamship Dunottar Castle from Cape Town, the London Daily Express says :
The officer of highest rank was Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Colville, ef the Guards. The fickle fortunes of war have been against him-—incurring his Chief’s displeasure. Hence here he was home again—not en sick leave, but willy-nilly.
These were not conditions for lightheartedness, and Sir Henry affect- ed no gaiety of spirits in acknowledg- ing the “Express” representative’s congratulations upon his apparent good health.
It would be contrary to military etiquette, he said, to discuss the reasons of his recall or the mishap at Lindley.
“My head is dizzy with the heat,” he urged evasively, making plain that an interview was not to his liking. “I have no thoughts. I am dazed. If people want to know why I have come home, someone else must tell them. That is not my _ business, Really, I must go.”
And he did, smiling pluckily, but not proudly. »
Colville, it will be remembered, or dered a battalion of yeomanry to join his forces at Lindley, and then moved out of Lindley before the battalion
arrived. The Boers captured the battalion. By the same steamship, the Dunot-
tar Castle, arrived in England the Am- erican Burnham, chief of scouts to Lord Roberts, invalided home. The Express reporter says:
He could have talked all the way of Lord Roberts, for whom asa_ soldier and a gentleman he had conceived a profound admiration, second only to his esteem for his own particular chief, Mr. Rhodes.
Often had he watched “Bobs” and Kitchener walking around the park at headquarters before anybody else was up, like two g: eat soldiers, as differently constituted as they well could be, but mutually appreciative of each other, |
Touching slightly on his scouting experiences at Paardeberg, Major Burnham incidentally mentioned that scouts, like musicians, were born; but eyes, ears and nostrils required a deal of training. Having gone through eight campaigns, his education had not been neglected.
Threugh the ear window the watch- ful scout reed the legend “Shooting Scheol” on a board in a field.
“Ah! that is the right thing. Let British soldiers have nine months of shooting and three months ef drill; in- stead of nine months of drill and three

An old lady called at a store and asked for a bottle of Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment; the clerk said ‘they were out, but could sup- ply her with another just as good.” The engagiug smile that accompanied this in- formation was frozen stiff when she replied:
Young Man, there is only one Liniment, and that is Johnson’s.

A London paper asked its corres- pondents in South Africa to get the views of as many Cape Colony and Natal volunteers as possible regarding the measures to be taken after the war. Ihe ideas of the colonials are sum- med as follows. As regards them. selves they ask:
1. That officers should be given formal commissions, signed by the
-
Queen, covering their period of ser- vice.
_2. That they should be given the right to retain their rank when the war is over and their several corps are dis- banded.
_ 3. That they should receive a sma'l decoration and ribbon, to be worn only colonial officers or men who have seen active service.
As regards the Boer territories, the colonials advise :
1. That all forts and large towns shail be occupied and garrisoned by Imperial troops. This will require quite 50,000 troops to be stationed in South Africa. say, for next three years.
2. ‘That a police force about 5,000 strong sha!l be raised for the Transvaal and Orange River States, which shall work in conjunction with the Imperial men, and be ready to’ supply their place when they are again withdrawn.
3. That all Boers in South Africa shail be disarmed of ali rifles and am- munition, and only allowed a shot-gun or revolver by special permit from the magistrate.
4. That the expense ot the war shall be entirely borne by theburghers of
until she moves out.” "2 =
The following letter from Major- General Baden-Powell appears in the Cape Times of July 4:
To the Editor of the “Cape Times.”
Sir,—I shall feel greatly obliged you would kindly help me to express on behalf of the Mafeking garrison our gratitude for the stream of kind mes- sages that has been poured into us by telegraph and by post since our relief, from kind friends all ever the worid. Over a thousand of such greetings have come te me personally out here in the veldt, and I hear that mailbags are following me with still more. So [ trust that our generous correspon-
dents will understand thatit is not from unwillingness, but sheer physical inability, that we do not send replies toeach and all. But none the less our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in different parts ofthe world wno have given us their prayers and good wishes.
Irom the gracious words of Her Majesty and the Royal Family to the “What ho! she bumps,” of Melbourne, the wealth of congratulation which we have received more than repays us for any inconvenience we have suffered in doing what was no more than our duty to our Queen and to the prestige of our countrymen. Yours faithfully,
R. S. S. BADEN-POWELL. Major-General, Camp near Rustenburg, Transvaal, June 23. P.S.—In reply to hundreds of ap- plicants, I regret to say that the issue
the two States, and that a military oc- cupation shall exist at least until this is paid in full.
5. That Dutch shall not be allowed to be spoken in the Houses of Parlia- ment,
6. That there shall be no splitting up or welding together ef States except by a Federal Parliament and that local matters shall be locally dealt with by their own parliaments or councils,
7. All railways shallbecome the pro- percy of government.
8. That men now serving or who have served in this war shall have the preference for al. government positions and appointments.
g. That rebels convicted and sen- tenced shallnot only lose their farms etc., but also their rights of citizenship.

Mr. George K. Shepherd, a member of D. Battery, Royal Canadian Artil- lery, in writing from De Aar Junction to his home in Paris, Ont., complains about tke inactivity to which his bat- tery has been fated. Up tothe date ofthe letter it has been engaged in guarding the lines of communication, without being under fire, but had just received orders to move, and _ the fol- lowing extract from the letter gives an idea of the eagerness which possesses the Canadians to get intoa fight :-—
“Well, it has its comical side, this sudden order after all hope had fled. The hospital had abou ten from the battery who were holding down their job for all it was worth. This morn- ing, however, all who were not in bed marched up to the major to secure their discharge, who waxed very sar- castic over their sudden and unanimous recovery. Four got out and the rest are making plans for hiding in the train
