AGES OF GENERALS.

The British generals on active ser-—

vice in South s.frica have all reached mature age. Infact many of them

would seem almost too old for their work; their ages are :—

BOERS DISORGANIZED.

It is reported that the Boers

escaped from Wepener and

organized and depressed. deserted and are hiding on the farms. They were unhampered by waggons, using pack horses, mostly for purposes of transpoit.

A CONTRAST.

The Cape Dutch rebels, who were tried at Capetown, were sentenced to imprisonment.

two peoples; the one blood-thirsty, the

other merciful. In 1877, when war hetween the British and the Gaikas,

who were British subjects, had broken out, Governor Frere, of Cape Colony, being away from Capetown, wrote to

Men and horses fell out—not one or two, but many. “The spirit of man sustaineth him,” but that spirit must be kept up with a sufficiency of food. Well, they did their work, or some of it; they blew up portions of railway line; and, Heaven be thanked! they met no Boers.

“The Last Defence of Ladysmith” might be the title of such a_ picture. These haggard, wearied figures were the best of what remained of the fine

force

ANOTHER CONTRAST.

Lord Roberts’ affable, courteous manner, and the almost rough abrupt- ness of Lord Kitchener, are illustrated by their telegraphed replies to the re- quest that they would become patrons of the national bazaar in aid of the war funds. Lord Roberts cabled : “Bloemfontein, April 11—Much pleas- ure in acceding to your request about patronising bazaar.—Roberts.” Lord Kitchener wired: ‘“ Burghersdorp, April 1ith.—Yes, certainly.—Kitch- ener.”

ENGAGEMENT AT THABA N’CHU.

A despatch to the Daily Mail from Thaba N’Chu, describing the engage- ment at Thaba N’Chu, in which the Canadians Jed the van, says :— “The British artillery shelled the kopjes all day from three positions. The Boer positions were extremely well chosen, consisting of a long range of very precipitous hills, with narrow passes between, commanding a vast ex- tent cf country. The Mounted In- fantry made a wide turning movement, while the foot infantry advanced with- in two thousand yards under good shelter. During the afternoon the battle became general and extended overa frontage of ten miles. The rifle, max'm, and artillery fire was deafening. At 3 o’clock the Cana- dians advanced in open order, but meeting with a terrific fire, they took shelter in adonga. When they finally captured the kopjes, the Boers were seen retiring north and east with wag- ons, and subsequently, when the in- fantry madea dash, the rest of the enemy fired a few shots and cleared off. “On occupying Thaba N’Chu we found the stores and hotels all looted by the The natives complain of hav- ing their borses and cattle stolen and ot cruel treatment.

inch gauge and trains travel on it only in the day time and then very moderate speed. It generally takes three days or more for a train to reach Salisbury from Beira. At Salis- bury, Colonel Carrington will still be 280 miles from Bulawayo, the present northern terminus of the Cape rail- way, but the country between the two points presents no serious obstacles to travelling. Troops landed at Beira two weeks ago should now be within reach of Colonel Plumer.

ROBERTS AND BULLER.

It is now stated that as soon as he learned of the publication of General

of the Ladysmith relief operations, General Buller tendered his resignation to General Roberts, who refused to accept it.

Besides the animals the troops took with them, the War Office has sent to South Africa 27,000 horses and 17,000 mules. How many shiploads that represents those skilled in the trade can Calculate for themselves. It indi- cates the energy of the supplying authorities and makes it easy to accept the statement that more supplies have been sent to the troops than the gener- al’s requisition called for. When the war is over the promise is that the business departments will be found to be about the best parts of a good mili- tary Organization.

A despatch to the Daily News from Pretoria, dated Monday, says that 47 British prisoners have died in six weeks. Two hundred of them are sick with fever and dysentery at Water- val. The despatch adds that Erasmus De Klerk has been sentenced to tw years’ imprisonment at hard labor for guiding the British at Petersburg and Bloemfontein.
