Board of Trustees, @—d2aw monXthur : THE BATTLE OF ¥ 29 Rollie Taylor was the only man of “G Company killed in the first engagement, and McCreary, who was badly wounled, died next day. On Monday the19th, I went out to ‘help to bury Rollie. I took his note beok and ietters from him, and as Fred Furze had his watch I gave them to him to take home to his father. Yesterday morning about two o’clock, when we were advancing onthe Boer trenches, Iwas on the right of G. Com- pany. Alf. Riggs was mext me and Roy Harris next him. Snddenly there came a flash and a erash from the Boer trenches and we as suddenly fell on the ground. Alf. Riggs was shot. He fell on my legs, and soclose to Roy Harris that he bled over Roy’s face and clothing. I think he died almost instantly as he never moved or speke. There were four others killed in our company and twelve wounded, in- cluding myself. I was slightly wounded in the right leg. Don’t thiak I am in any danger. The bullet did not penetrate far. The fire was terrible, We lay there about half an hour when the word was passed to retire on the treuches. Qur rear rank men were digging about ten paces behind us. Wetook our time crawling back in snake fashion. When day broke we found we were yithin twenty~fiye yards of the enemy. The Boers in the first trench sent in 4 flag of truce and said they wished to surrender although they had no orders io do so About ten minutes afterwarda the re doubtable and all his men sabmitt:d—and we took Cronje.

On the morr‘ng of Tuesday, the 27th, at two o’elock, we started owt in inky dark- ness. We marched close together w th fixed bryonets, Stealthily we approached to within 50 vards of the Boer trenches. An order came to advance «til! closer, and we got tweuty-five yards nearer death, Ail a: once a terrible fire opened upon us. In this volley 4 \f. Riggs was hit. We fell flat on the ground, and stayed there till daylight. All this time the Boers could not eee us When it was evfficient- lv light for them to see the long and con- quering live of British steel right at their trench«s they gave up the struggle. The white flag was this time used scincerely ; and the brave Cronje at last surrendered.

Mr. Fosier was to be blamed for their heavy losses. A few days ago, Hon.

Mutual respect was the sores! methed of preventing such a rupture.” This sentiment was reiterated py Mr. D lcasse, the French Minister of Foreign | Affairs. — After every little success of the Boers, involving the capture of prisoners,we hear | reports of the capture of important pam | pers, plane, etc., descriptive of the British | plans for invading the Transvaal and Orange Free State. These reports serve to | sharpenthe flagging energy of the Burghers | and Boers, and tos'rengthen the enmity of the people of Kurope. But proof of their truth is still wanting in every case. —A correspondent at the west writes the editor of The Gvardian, avd asks :— “Would you kindly inform your rcadérs what kind of a Legislature is being held this year?

The friendly rela. tions between the Indians and the Govern meat was disturbed but once, when an [n- dian was shot at St. Regis while resisting arreet. Notice is given of the sympathy expressed bv the Six Nation Indians on account of the South African war, and their offer to furnish a contin geut of chiefs and warriors. Like offers were made by otherIndians. The only unusual event of extended interests during the year, was the succes3- ful negotiation of a treaty with the Indians inhabiting the provisional district of Athabasca and parts of the adjoining country. Whilethe general health of the Indians has been particularly good, where diseases have entrenched them- selves they are very severe. Pulmonary troubles are prevalent. Although the Indians of the Island suffered more or less severely, fortunately the mortality was not excessive. There was an actna! e- crease Of population of 174. Prince Ed- ward Island had an increase of one. Tbe births numbered 2,437, and the deaths 2,513. Education among the Indians ie receiving marked attention.
