THE AFRICAN NEWS.
Christmas Day Brings No Cheer
ing News to London.

London, Dec 26.-4:3O a. MP to
this hour nothing has arrived from
South Africa that would indicate any
change in the situation there. The war
Office is issuing lists of further dead and
wounded, as well as accounts of sick
ness. The most serious reports of the
latter class are that the horse sickness
has broken out in both British and Boer
camps in Natal. Four hundred British
cavalry horses, it is said have already
been shot, owing to the occurance of
glanders. The disease is likely to spread
more with much greater rapidity among
the British horses than among the hardy
Boer ponies, and this may. mean con-
siderable prolongatian of the campaign.
A dispatch from Chieveley, dated

According to the reliable natives, the
Beers had 200 killed in the fight at Co
lenso. The news that Colenso foot
bridge had been destroyed, goes to show
that Gen. Butler is more anxious to keep
the enemy at bay than to attempt fur
ther:advance. Despite the severity of
the situation here, hints are being con
tinually received of the serious spread of
Dutch disaffetcion in both the Queens
town district of Cape Colony and Natal.
An undated heliograph message from

Morning, colonel.
Morning, sir, replied the man who
was leaning over the fence.
| He was short, thickset man, with
q clear and piercing eye, his face shaved
smooth, with not the suggestion of
wrinkle; yet his hair was as white as
SNOW. He had slight southern accent,
and his hearty manner of inviting the
visitors in and his cordial hospitality
were wholly southern One of the visit
ors knew him and had told the other
that there was man with bona fide
skeleton in his closet and that the skele
ton had a story. 1t did not require any
persuasion to obtain a glimpse of the
skeleton. The owner presently led the
way to an clubhouse, and, opening the
door, displayed the skeleton Of a man,
badly fastened together and hanging
10 q e wall by the neck. The Missourian
did not object to telling. the story.

with his thumb TO the skeleton. "was

no means of protecting ourselves ex

tried to pick him off from the top story;
but he had picked up one of my friends
who had been in the field, and they put
him on horse and stood behind him and
shot at the windows of the house, at
