harrow Loxpon, Dec. 30.—A despatch from Lorenzo Marquez, dated Dec. 23rd, says a curious story is current, emanating from Boer sources, that Mat Steyn, brother of the President of the Orange Free State, and eight hundred of the Free Statere, have definitely refused to continue the war,

Mat. Steyn, acting as spokesman of the party is reported to have told the Presi- dent that he was only authorized to inter- vene in che interest of peace, and that the Burghers did not feel they were bound by his “ unwarrantable conduct.”

Lowpon, Dec. 30.—Mr. Ford’e cable, to- day, indicates that General Buller’s de-~ termined assault upon the strong Boer works at Colenso is expected to take place about the middle of next week. The fizght- ing qualities of the two forces, the strength of the Boer position the determi aation of the British to win. the number of men and armaments of modern warfare that will be engaged on both sides, make it certain that the British arms are to yodergo a tremendous test. The task before the Imperial troops in the impending battle is stupendous and the shock of conflict indescribable. Ortawa, Dec. 30.—Colunel Hutchineon, of Nashville, Tennessee, sends an offer to the government to furnish two hundred trained soldiers to serve with the Can- adians in South Africa; an offer of five bundred, also, was received from Chicago: The militia authorities decided that the Montezuma and Laurentian will sail Jan. uary 15th, from Halifax, having on board the artillery and one regiment of Mounted rifles.

The Pomeranian, the third of the trans- ports, will sail on the 20th with the North” weat detachment:

mately, but itis thought the vessels will be a few days leter in getting away. London, Dec. 30.—Ic ao letter which The Times publishes to-day, Lord Rose- bery raises a question which he describes as of supreme importancet whether the British government is justified in treating roodstufie Feneral:y aa coatraband of war. Lord Rosebery’sa object is, he exp'ains himself, merely to elicit an authoritative statement of what has happened in South African waters. The Times says:—-“* No doubt there is a vefty wide-spread feeling here that is would be unwise for England to create a precedent which some day might be in- invoked against her.” A correspondent of The News in bombardment of the town by the Boers, mentions that, on the 23rd instant, several shells fell in succession near the headquaters. Ose room in the build- ing was eotirelly wrecked, an@ General White who had been confined to headquat- ers owing ta enteric fever, hada narrow escape, and was removed to another part of the camp. Js is now covvalecent. In a despatch to the Post, describing the treatment of British prisoners in Pre- toria, Winston Churchill states that
