One E. S. Grogan, who claims to be the

some reniarkablc stories to the London

papers. In partthese relate to features of the country and of the native population

not before described. lic pictures miles of__ liquid fire flowing from innny volcanoes, in which vast herds of elephants and

other aniinals are submerged, and tells of l tribes of cannilmls more ferocious than

ever known before. Their huge cauldrons,

he says, were filled with human flesh and

bones, and the chief employment of the tribe is to keep the pot going. As to the

Congo Free State he tells shocking stories

of the Belgian troops raiding the native villages, carrying off the young women,

shooting the men and desolating whole regions with fire. This isnot the first time that unpleasant accounts havedbeen given of the conduct of the Belgian troops to- ward the natives, but there seems to be some reason to suspect that Mr. Grogan

may be somewhat given to exaggeration.

The accounts of Lord Roberts' triumphal

entry into Bloemfontein a.re somewhat surprising, so far as the joyous welcome accorded him are concerned. Doubtleas

now a. strong British force is in posses- sion,t-hc war, so faras they are immedi- ately concerned is over. \Ve may remem- ber also that a considerable portion of the

'burghers were all the time opposed to

_the Free State taking up arms with the Transvaal. Lord Roberts will probably take immediate measures to dispossess

=_ and capture if possible the Boer forces in _,the southern part of the Free State .between Bloemfoiitein and the Orange

River, opening up the railway communica- tion to the south. Until this is effected

his transport service will be hampered by the necessity. of a. long haul by teams

across country for his supplies. The

position of the Boer forces on the Orange River must now be critical as they are practically surrounded north, south and

west by British troops, with Basuto Land, ~ its mountains and an unfrien_dly popula-

Much anxiety was felt and expressed on

on the streets yesterday as to the deten- tion of the Minto :on her passage to Pic- tou, not on account of the safety of those on board, but lest the men of the Island' Contingent should fail to reach Halifax in time to join , the other Canadian troops which are to sail for South Africa by the S. S. Monterey. The Minto had left Georgetown on Tuesday morning at 7 o’clock, and had apparently made asuc- cessful passage until nearing the Nova

ered, driven in shore by the northeast wind. The steamer was sighted and rc- portcd near Pictou Island on Wednesday but appears to have been afterwards ear- ried a good way out of her -course. Premier

Mr. F. Newsome of THE GUARDIAN and a number of passengers were on board, besides the the Island soldiers. No tidings had been given out to the general public
