: THE BATTLE OF

¥ 29

Rollie Taylor was the only man of “G Company killed in the first engagement, and McCreary, who was badly wounled, died next day. On Monday the19th, I went out to ‘help to bury Rollie. I took his note beok and ietters from him, and as Fred Furze had his watch I gave them to him to take home to his father. Yesterday morning about two o’clock, when we were advancing onthe Boer trenches, Iwas on the right of G. Com- pany. Alf. Riggs was mext me and Roy Harris next him. Snddenly there came a flash and a erash from the Boer trenches and we as suddenly fell on the ground. Alf. Riggs was shot. He fell on my legs, and soclose to Roy Harris that he bled over Roy’s face and clothing. I think he died almost instantly as he never moved or speke. There were four others killed in our company and twelve wounded, in- cluding myself. I was slightly wounded in the right leg. Don’t thiak I am in any danger. The bullet did not penetrate far. The fire was terrible, We lay there about half an hour when the word was passed to retire on the treuches. Qur rear rank men were digging about ten paces behind us. Wetook our time crawling back in snake fashion.

When day broke we found we were yithin twenty~fiye yards of the enemy. The Boers in the first trench sent in 4 flag of truce and said they wished to surrender although they had no orders io do so

About ten minutes afterwarda the re doubtable and all his men sabmitt:d—and we took Cronje.

—It appeurs that General Olivier did not trek away to the north after all, and that his troops effected the capture of Colone! Brosdwood’s convoy and other little advantages. The British were mis- led and surprised this time.

—A few weeks ago, Sir Wilfrid Laurier told a deputation of the creditors of the Ville Marie Bank that Hoo. Mr. Fosier was to be blamed for their heavy losses. A few days ago, Hon. Mr. Fielding (Min~ ister of Fioance)—told the House of Commons tbat no blame whatever be~ longed to Mr. Foster—that Mr. Foster bad done all that he could do under the cireumstanees !

—In the French Senate,a few days ago Count d’Auunay said that ** A rupture between France and Great Britain would be a misfortune to civilization, A!l right thinking men should do what they can to prevestit. Mutual respect was the sores! methed of preventing such a rupture.” This sentiment was reiterated py Mr. D lcasse, the French Minister of Foreign | Affairs.

— After every little success of the Boers, involving the capture of prisoners,we hear | reports of the capture of important pam | pers, plane, etc., descriptive of the British | plans for invading the Transvaal and Orange Free State. These reports serve to | sharpenthe flagging energy of the Burghers | and Boers, and tos'rengthen the enmity of the people of Kurope. But proof of their truth is still wanting in every case.

—A correspondent at the west writes the editor of The Gvardian, avd asks :— “Would you kindly inform your rcadérs what kind of a Legislature is being held this year? Are we having despotic rule, has the Goverament another license bill under consideration, or was the Patriot wioog in it? announcement, ‘ (that the Legislature would be called together early in March.)”’ But the editor of the in dependent but astute Guardian answers

—It is remarked by the Montreal Gazette that “ The Liberal leaders, who are vot fond, now-a-days, of defining their policies, have managed, nevertheless, to place themselves on record against any attempt to secure for the farmers of Cauads auy preference in tbe British market, and have done much to make it difficult to obtain anv preferential treat ment in the United Kingdom. The Con- servative leaders have declared themeelves equarely in favor of obtaining such a pre- ference. The question is of great import- ance to Canada now, aod promisés to be- come of vital importance in the near futare.

—The annual report of the departmen of Indians affairs states that on the whole the prosperity enjoyed by the Indian populaticn so decidedly preponderates as to make the dominant impression one of marked satisfaction. The friendly rela. tions between the Indians and the Govern meat was disturbed but once, when an [n- dian was shot at St. Regis while resisting arreet. Notice is given of the sympathy expressed bv the Six Nation Indians on account of the South African war, and their offer to furnish a contin geut of chiefs and warriors. Like offers were made by otherIndians. The only unusual event of extended interests during the year, was the succes3- ful negotiation of a treaty with the Indians inhabiting the provisional district of Athabasca and parts of the adjoining country. Whilethe general health of the Indians has been particularly good, where diseases have entrenched them- selves they are very severe. Pulmonary troubles are prevalent. Although the Indians of the Island suffered more or less severely, fortunately the mortality was not excessive. There was an actna! e- crease Of population of 174. Prince Ed- ward Island had an increase of one. Tbe births numbered 2,437, and the deaths 2,513. Education among the Indians ie receiving marked attention.
