PIIASBS OF THB WAR. ,

It may be of interest to reeapitulate

somebxf the larger features of the war in the three principal spheres of operation--~ in Natal, in eastern Cape Colony, and on the western border of thc Dutch Repub- lics,from the beginning of the struggle. il

` At the first tlictlieatre of actual fighting ‘

`-‘kind the centre of public interest was in

northern Natal, where the Boer invasion

‘ began on October 12, immediately on the icxpiry ofthe time limit set in the notor- _‘ ions ultimatum. Here events moved

i swiftly. Gen. Syrnons won the battle of

Glencoe on thc '2Uth,wliich was followed

' by his death from wounds, and the en- , forced retirement of General Yule, thc victorious battle of Elandslaagte being fought by Gen. French on the 21stto assist

Yule`s retreat. Ilcitfontein was fought cn the 25th October and on the 31st the disas-

ter of.1\'icholson’s Nek took place and was immediately followed by the isolation of Ladysmith, which has since continued. Thus in less than three weeks the Boer `

Natal from Laing`s Nek, 100 miles south- ward to Ladysmith andfroin Von Recnan’s R Pass a like distance eastward to Buffalo River. In the meantime on the western border `

the Boer forces crossed into Bechuanaland and about October 15, surrounded Mate- king and Kimberly and took possession of" the Q0 miles of railway between those

two points. They also began encroach-A ments in northern Cape Colony at Philips- " town, Colcsburg, Bm-ghersdorp,Aliwal

‘F

land. At the end of October the enemy »

of British countryito the southeast, south, u southwest, west and northwest of the two Republics, and held Ladysmith, Kimberly R and mfekmg in their gi-esp. " In the latter part of November the scene

of greatest activity and interest shiftedto "

while the relieving armies, brought toa stand-still a second time on the Tugela and still unable to move forward from" the Hodder, were exchanging signals with the besieged towns they were unableto relieve. But both from Lady-_ smith and Kimberly came cheerful

messages that they could hold out yet; longer. And so the first month of the new year closed with no substantial new advance.

On February 7th Gen. Buller made

by the Springfield route, crossing _at 'n ford to the eastward of Potgietefs. After some days hard, fighting this attempt was abandoned and he -re-`

turned with his forces to Chieveley. Here he renewed the attack,while stirring events were developing on the western border. Bya swift and strong adva.nee~ the Boer position on the Modder River

was penetrated, Jacobsdal occupied, and on the 15th Gen. French reached Kim- berly. Gronje was forcedpto retreat from Magersffmtein, was pursued, overtaken and surrounded at Koedoes ‘where he has since been fighting like _a at bay. In the meantime Gen. Buller has

Colenso and is slowly pushing his way toward Ladysmith. Such are in outline

some of the salient features of the war,

which now, under the able direction of Lord Roberts has changed its every aspect.

there were great hopes that General _ Buller, who had fought his way nearly to the 'Tugela River in Natal 'would give us 1 a long delayed victory to offset these stern " reverses. All will remember the terrible ` suspense of the hour,follovved by the lying
