THLE BOERS’ HELPERS.

FRENCH AND GERMAN OFFICERS, WHO

’ ARE BEING PAID BIG MONEY BY KRUGER.

The French and German soldiers of fortune who have entered the ranks of the Boers are apparently reaping a rich harvest for the services they render.

There is an interesting letter in “To- Day,” written by a German Officer who was lately a major of the 22nd Infantry of the Kaiser’s army, and is now a colonel on the general staff of the Boers outside Ladysmith.

Of our generals he has but a poor opinion. ‘I have,’ he writes, now been for two weeks employed in the operations against the English Generals Symons, White and Buller are so un- systematic are the proceedings, so un- practical, so illogical, and in consequ- ence, so unprolific the proccedings of these generals, as equally are those of the Baron Methuen, that I cannot re- fra'n from regarding them with cease-- less wonder. In this extraordinary war the enemy’s generals have behaved in a manner which must seem incredible to those who have not been here to see tor themselves.”

He tells‘of the ease with which he and Colonel Kohner, late of the 14th Field Artillery, were able to get information in Natal as to the sending of British reinforcements. They remained until a week after the issue ofthe ultimatum, and “although we lived nearly three months in Lady-

smith, Pietermaritzburg, and Durban,

we, strange as it does not seem, were never recognized, or the lecst suspicion raised as to the real nature of our bus- iness. Major C——, formerly of the French Foreign Legion, was sent upon a similar mission to Cape Town. Be- ing an Irishman, he escaped attracting the slightest inconvenient notice. Truely, the English arethe most un- suspicious people under the sun.

“Weare,” continues the writer, “a cosmopoiitan band of goed brothers-in arms here around Ladysmith There is first in rank General Count Georges Tillebois de Maureuil, who was lately commanding the first regiment of the fartamed Foreign Legion of the French Africanarmy. He treats us Germans with marked courtesy, as, in- deed, does all of his confreres, number- ing thirty-seven.

“Of retired officers of the French active army there are at present on the present on the pay rolls fourteen; eight are with old Mr. Joubert, three with our friend Albrecht, who is keeping the Baron Methuen amused; and the others are in charge of the ammunition supplies—a duty which cannot be en- trusted to Boer officers in consequence |

Ce ee

of their utter want of method. Von Rosenfeldt and Fried Muller came by the last steamer. The former has been sent to join Albrecht, and the other has been made a colonel on the siege train.”

As to the pay they receive, he says. —‘‘The colonies in the siege batteries are paid one hundred and fifty Trans- vaal soverigns a month. Iam remitt- ing home one hundred and twenty every month, and, as we expect this war to last six months yet, I may look forward to having something consider- able awaiting me at Hanover. We un- derstand that the French general re- ceives two huudred and fifty pounds per month.

“Our friend Albrecht had the ground in front of each successive position ac- cupied by the Boer Commander Cronje accurately measured, and boulders at,the various distances marked by white-washed figures upon the bould- ‘ers that are everywhere scattered about in South Africa. Then, through his field-glasses, he was able to determine with precision the distance that the Baron Methuen’s troops were from his batteries. Mr. Cronje, has now with him quite 12,000 men,and twenty-two field and machine guns.”

In regard to Col Hughes, episode in not getting employment in South Africa General Hutton in an interview says: “The public so far has only become

and all the letters are now

exactly in his right mind when he wrote in the manner in which he did. The incident possesses most unfortu- nate feature, features that I trust will not again be repeated.” General Hut- ton admits that he did nor recommend Col. Hughes.

SAILING OF THE MILWAUKEE.

From present indications the Mil- waukee, which is to carry the remaind- er of the second contingent, should be sailing abeut February 15. As there are a number of men left over from the first two transports, mainly to look after the horses left behind, the Mil- waukee will carry 28 officers, 36 nom-

cummissioned officers and 530 men,

or a total of 594 all ranks. The num- ber ofhorses apportioned is 621, but to this willbe added 5 per cent. to cover contingencies, making a total of 652. The Milwaukeefis understood to have sailed from’ New Orleans on Saturday fer Halifax, but as the trip is between 2,500 and 3,000 miles it will be Saturday of this week before she will arrive at her destination.

INCIDENTS OF THE FIRST TUGELA REVERSE.

Many brilliantly written accounts of the first Tugela reveise have appeared in the English papers during the last tew days. Mr, Benset Burleigh writ- ing of the terrible ordeal of fire through which those who tanned our guns passed says ;—“But the gunners mever flinched nor winced, buckling to their work like men who grip a heavy load. Nay, more, somefof them in decision began to ‘field’ as at cricket, with the badly aimed spent shot of the machine cannon. Running aside, they would make a catch, a nd call, ‘Hows that, umpire? Astounding, and yet more astounding, fer this story is absolutely true !

“Within a quarter of an hour Col- onel Long was knocked over, shot through the arm and body, a bullet passing through his liver and kidneys.

THE SITUATION SIZED UP.

An eminent British general review- ing the South African campaign toa representative of the Associated Press, thus summed it up;

‘First of all we underestimated the enemy.

“Secondly, we know nothing of the power of modern weapons when op- posed to each other in the hands of tolerably equal forces.

“Thirdly, we deseited strategy to satisfy sentiment. By thatI mean Ladysmith and Kimberley appealed to us, and we answered as quickly and as unthinkingly as does an electric re- ceiver to a transmitter.

“We have learned many things, but chief of them all we have learned that long guns andrifles minimize tre- mendously the advantage which for- merely accrued to theaggressor. Yet I thoreughly believe, and I am not speaking without experience, that had any Continental nation undertaken the same task with the same force, it would by this time have been wiped out. But the appreciation of our short-eomings only makes us the more determined. It may be six months and it may be a year, but we shall achieve our object.”

The correspondent of the Manches- ter Guardian tells that General Bull- er considerable risk though he dis- played a wonderful coolness, and say : “about ten o’clock, Sir Redvers But- ler had left the position he had appoint- ed for himself at the naval battery— the situation on the right (where the guns lay useles) was too serious for a man of Buller’s spirit to stay there now—and had ridden of towards the

He was carried aside 200 yards into a shallow donga, where lay several ot the Devons and others. There, wounded as he was, Colonel Long sent for help to overcome the enemy’s rifle fire. But it did not come, fer there was a diffi- culty about quickly finding either Gen- eral Buller or General Clery......
