yhe Boer war is likely, to judge from the despatches which came from South Africa this morning.

Not only has the Free Stater’s position, breken down, but from Lorenzo Marques comes a statement, spparently on good au- thority,that recent arrivals from Pretoria affirm that the Tranevaalers admit their cuuse is ow hopeless, that two of their generais, Lucas Meyer and Scahikburger, heave left th» Boer army and retired to their farms, and that hundreds of Boers, who were engaged iu fighting’in Nata}, are doing the same.

Kruger and Steyn are, epparently, doing everything possible tostem the tide,—as shown by their proclamation that the Free State has been annexed to the Trans-

at Pretoria.

At the same time it is realized here that Geueral Joubert is likely to manceuvre in such a manner a8 te gain an opening for such possibilites as the action of a foreign powers or of several powers, and as feared in certain quarters, give rise to some other war for Great Britain.

That this latter contingency ie by no means thought impossible,is shown in the Morning Post, which says:

“It is to prevent such a_ possi- bility that, tae efforts of the British Gov- ernment should bedirected. The first step is to shorten thetime by pushing the war in South Africa with all possible energy. The second step ‘s to spare no exertion to be ready for any possible situation. Besides, it should have the strongest possible army made ready for home. At the same time, no measure

that may conduce to strengthen the army
