The overwhelm- ing majority of Canadians of both parties approve Sir Wilfred’s action in assisting Great Britain in this war. The same may be said of the Australasian colonies. All the colonial govern- ments have offered troops for service in South Africa, and we can see here no indication anywhere of popular dis- approval of that cuorse. The colonial | parliaments, or-all of them who have had anything to say upon the subject, have enthusiasticall y appreved of it without any division en party lines, which is more than can be said of the British. These voluntary actions by these colonies are more convincing ef the great work wrought by England than any number of book and articles. in these should be BLACKS DIE FOR LOYALTY. Details are to hand of the recent killing ot a party of Fingoes who made a sortie from Mafeking. <A corres- pondent writes: For some time it has been impossi- ble to prevent the natives from raid- ing cattle. The high prices which they are able tc obtain inthe town, and their natural love for cxpeditions of this sort, led them to break eut in small parties, and they return more often than not in triumph with valu- able additions to the foodstuffs of the garrison. Inthe early part of the week two Baralongs arrived inthe native stadt and offered to show any party of cattle- raiders where a good haul could be made with comparatively safety. On hearing this, twenty-five Fingoes deter- mined to make an effort TO CAPTURE THE PRIZE, and started out for adventure. They were armed chiefly with old muzzle loading rifles, only one or two of them having breech-loaders. Their joy, however, was short lived. The treacherous Baralongs led them into a trap, where they were surreund- ed and attacked by a Boer Patrol. So well did the Fingoes fight, that the Boers although they outnumbered the natives, were compelled to draw off and await reinforcements, Seeing that escape was impossible, the Fingoes fell back to a pan the only cov ering avail- able. The Boers brought up another hun- dred men, with a Mannlicher-Maxim and a t-pounder Maxim-Nordenfeldt, and, surrounding the pan, opened a murderous fire. There was no question of surrender. The leader of the natives, a tall, spare named Indabaziti RALLIED HIS MEN for their last fight, as Alan Wilson did the Shangani. From the rising to sun those twenty-five Fin- goes, armed with obsolete rifles, made desperate fight.

Swords of honor of strangedevice and oe tly shape will probably be supersed- ed 1 by something unique. The inhabi- tants of New Zealand are such great admirers of Sir George White that they are sending him a “brick of gold’, with the words on one side, “This is a brick,” and onthe other “You are another.” Sir George White will take up his position as Governor of Gibraltar about the end of May. So much the better. He is developing a facility of speech and a wealth of rhetoric which are alarming his best friends. Here isa specimen of his “pow-wow” efforts: “I could not bring myself te believe that the Ruler of the Universe, who had ordained the centuries to succeed each other, could after the dawn of the twentieth century hurl the loyal and progressive colony of Natal back | into the seventeenth century of dark- | ness and bigotry which is represented , It hasbeenasserted in aletterfrom an officer at Ladysmith that Colonel Long maintains that “ a most definite verbal order was given to him to advance to the very position in which he lost his guns; that in so advancing he was merely obeying that order, which had been given because the headquarters staff shared the ignorance of the whole force of the fact that tier upen tier of Boer riflemen were entrenched on the Colenso bank ofthe ‘Tugula; that the staff believed that the most advanced Boer position was that of Fort Wylie, some goo to 1,000 yards beyond the Tugela bank.” ee ee The Lerdon Standard publishes the following, dated May 9, from Welgele- gen:— , ‘The engagement on the Vet River caused the Boersto be dissatisfied with their leaders.
