The present state of affairs gives great satisfaction in Britain—-No interference is now likely.— Kruger’s threat to blow up the mines —Pole- Caven moving to join Gatacre.—Roberts will have 80,000 men and Buller 40,000 in their

commands.

SreciaL DespaTcH TO TRE EXAMINER.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Lonpox, March 16,5 a. m.—Eventa are moving in the South African campaign in a speedy and satisfactory manner. From both military and political points of view it could hardly have been expected by the most sanguine of Britis men that it would take aturp so favorable.

It appears that when Major Western cut the railway north of Bloemfontein. he thereby interrupted General Joubert who, far from having retired from the campaign wasthen coming southward with 3090 mea presumably to super‘atend the labor at the defence works, thiee miles Jong, which had been prepared outside the tcwn.

‘The evidence goes to show that so far as the southern part of the Free State is con- cerned there will be no further resistance.

It is understood that Messrs Fraser, Wessels snd other leaders are preza-ed to accept the position of a eelf-governing British colony.

THE CRITICS.

Lonponx, March 16.—The cheers which greeted the reading in Parliament, yester- day, of the correspondence with the Uni- ted States are echoed throughout the couctry. The speech of M. Delicasse has increased this satisfaction, and, taken with the general belief that the Emperor Nicholas is persovally avers? t> any ia- terveation,these incidents have spr ad the idea that there will be no further serious attempts to interfere from any qnarter.

Montague White’s threat in an Amer:- can newspaper, that the Boers wil! sacri fice Jchannesburg and raze it to the ground if necessary, is not taken very seriously.

Mr. Chamberlain’s that President Kruger has already been warne as to the consequences of such conduct, is

regarded as showing that sufficient pres cautions have been taken. By the time Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal river he will command eome 89.000 men, whil? General Buller will have 40,000 men. From a military point of view, the critics now think there is nothing to fear.

Paul Kruger, if you’ve auy shame, You’ll change at once your chrietian name; You known yourself you’re not a Paul, And ethers know you’re just a Saul,

Hurrah ! for freedom’s valiant eons,

Hurrah ! for freedom’s mighty guns, Harrah! for freedom’s right and laws, Hurrah! burrah! for freedom’s cauee.

You went to London, end you said

You’d give us work, you’d give us bread, And treat us in a friendly way, lf we'd come over here ani stay.

We, came, we worked, we pressed along ;

We helped to make you rich and strong :

You scorned as as youscorn your Blacks,

And robbed us with a cruel tax.

You plundered British homes and lands,

You forced our men to join your bande, You stripped the dead on hill and brae, You raised the flag of truc. to slay.

Our gallaat friends are drawing near,

A few days more will bring them here ; Go, give io them your jeers and pelts, But bear in mind they’re Anglo-Kelts.

Be wise in time; you know the end ; It’s clear to all you’ll soon be penned, Subiait at once and war no more ; You've surely had enough of gore.

Transvalia, now lift up your voice,

And clap your hands ; rejoice, rejoice ; You'll soon bebold the British van, You’ll soon have all the rights of man.

1HE HOSPITAL CONC ERT.

Theagndience at the Hospital Concert last night taxed the seating capacity of Kindergarten Hall,and everyone eeemed to thorougily appreciate the exceileat pro-~ gramme provided. But the appreciation would: have been maco keener and much more general if those in the rear of the hail could have obtained a better view of the stage, Itis a great pity that when the alterations were beiog made in the hal! the floor was not raised at the rear. Per- haps it is not yet too late to have this much needed change made.

During the evening solos were sung by Mre. Watts, whose full rich voice was heard to advantage; by Miss Fioreoce Earle, who so delighted the audience with ber rendering of ** Tommy Atkins” that the rule regarding encores bad to be sus~- pended; by Miss Craig, of Freetown, who is the fortunate possessor of a yoice of much power and flexibility sad who will be heard with pleasure at fuiure concerts ; by Miss Mary Haszard, who also siogs well and promises to become a favorite with con- cert- goers.

Mise Enid McLean’s patriotic reading was given in that excellent manner which characterizza the work of this talented young lady, and received well-merited applause. Attorney-General McKinnon also gave a reading—a telection from Kip- ling—and gave it very well indeed.

Professor Vinnicombe’s violin solo was played with all that gentleman’s skill, and was greatly appreciated. The young ladies of the St. Cecelia Club always play well, and last night they added to their reputaion,. They are always a drawiug card. The orchestra gave two selections duriog the evening, the different instru- wents blending wel’.

The Highland dance by Mi-s Muac- dovald’s pupils, closing with “* Auld Lang Syne” as a tableau, was exccedingly pleasing. The lads and lasses participat- ing uaoced well,

Before she entertainment closed a num- ber of views of South Africa were project- edupon the canvas and explained by Mr. Aubin E. Arsenault. In conection were shown views of Roiand Taylor and

Alfred W. Riggs, killed in S Africa, the first Canadian contingent, tJ. A. McDonald, Major Weeke, Rev. % F. Fal-

lerton, General Roberts, Paul Kruger and Queen Victoria. The pictures of Ptes. Taylor and Riggs were received in silence. When the first contingent was shown “ Rule Britannia” was sung, the audience joining in the refrain; and when the pictures of Lieutenant McDonald, Major Weeks and Rey. T. F. Fullerton were projected “F_r They a:e Jolly Good Fellows” was given, “We'll hang Paul Kruger ‘oa Sour Apple Tree,” greeted the | picture of Oom Paul, and when General Roberts was shown, “The R:d White and Blue” was sung. Her Majesty’s likeness was shown at the cloze ot the entertain- | meat, andall heartily joinedin the Na-! tional Anthem, a ‘Fortune favors the brave.” It is also favorable to those who purify their biood at this season by taking Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla.
