OPINION IN LONDON.

Loxpox, Jan. 4.—General . French’s exploit in surprising the Boers camp at Colesberg was not the on!; cheering in- ! cident at ‘;:e opening of the new year. Col- Pilcher, with @ force of mounted in- fantry from the line of Lord Methuen’s communications, attacked and defeated a Datch commando at Sunnyside, thirty miles north-west of Belmont taking a lasger and forty prisoners.

This is a fresh proof of the effici~ encey of mounted troops ion Scuth African

warfare. Lord Methuen’s line is secure against raiding where scouting is so well done that

wards the south of the Boer position.

British shells were the first indication ! of the presence of our troops.

The Boers left their laager and opened fire; but the Queenslanders completing the movement the laager was captured with forty prisoners.

Colonel Pilcher reports that he had two men killed and a lieutenant wounded.

None of these were Canadians.

The other companies of Canadians are all here, and in good health.

FRENCH HOLDS COLESBREG.
