[From the Post-lntelligeneer of 10th inst. received last night per steamer Townsend.]
 London, Dec. Io.--The Daily Mall hears from a hitherto reliable correspondent that Gen. Butler, after stiff fight, crossed the Tugela river. The correspondent also states that Gen. Methuen's eommuniea- tions are cut.
 The war office would neither affirm nor contradict the report of the Daily Mall correspondent which claimed after severe fighting for six hours, Butler was able to put large portion of his command north of the Tugela river.

Roberts Appointed to Command.

Hoberts Appointeo to Commuuo'
 General Lord Roberts has been appoint. cd eommander-ln-ehief of the forces in South Africa, and General Lord Kitchener will be his chief of staff. ktehenef has already left Omdurman for Durban.
 The Times says editorially: "Lord Roberts will have absolutely free hand, and may be expected to resume the origin al plan of campaign abandoned bv Gen. Butler under the necessity of relieving Ladysmith."
 General Buffers friends arc not bv any manner pleased with the appointment of a superior to him In South Africa, and think It shows symptoms of panic on the part of the administration. Although the cab net has officially announced that the ar- polntment of Roberts Is not rebuke to Butler, but because of the sending of a much larger army to the seat of war. vet 1t Is generally believed that the direct cause of the appointment Is the failure of Butler at Colenso and Methuen at Modder | river.

Reinforcing nethuen.

According to a dispatch from Cape Town, Gen. Sir Charles Warren and his staff have started for DeAar. This seems to indicate that the Fifth division will bs sent to reinforce Lord Methuen, decision which will meet with general approval, as the opinion Is almost evervwhere held that 1t would be nseless to waste any more time by frittering away men between the various columns.
 The Morning Post in rather alarmlst article. remarks upon the difficulty of deciding such a critical matter, and says: "Besldes three generals in the field, all of whom need to be reinforced, there Is the rebellion in Cape Colony to be considered. This makes four pressing calls on the Fifth diyislon."

 The Morning Post reviewing the varl' ous positions of the beleagured command CTS and garrlsons, asserts that the relief of Ladysmith Is ,he more important emerg- enev, and that victory in Natal would change the whole face of affairs. It also points out the urgent need Of having the navy in readiness to move at any moment to protect the line of communication with South Africa. suggesting that "a quarrel with some foreign power might come any day without any British intention to have one."
 The Daily News, commenting upon tho spontaneous response to the govenments's appeal for volunteers from all parts of the empire. says the most remarkable scene of all is recorded from the United States, where a demonstration in favor of the British occurred In the Church Of tho Messiah, In New York city, during the discourse of Rev.

when he offered his services to the
American congress he was only 20 years
old. Although so young and ineXperi-
enced, he belonged to one of the most
powerful families of France, and his
influence at court, through his wife's
relatives, as well as his own, was of the
greatest assistance to us.
~ offering his help to congress, he
pulposed to bear all his own expenses
in the campaigns. Congress was poor,
and his services were gladly accepted.
He was at once given an appointment
on the staff of Gen. Washington, and
these two great men, both of the noblest
character and the most generous minds,
became lifelong friends.
In 1924 he was given public invita-
ton to visit the United States, and his
travels through this country were like
a .triumphal progress. Congress voted
him gift of 100000 and 24,OO0 acres of
land as a mark of appreciation for his
services in the revolution. He died in

DOLL MAKES PEACE.
A ChiId's Plaything Once Upon n
Time Kept the Indians from War
ring with the whites.

A strange story is told of how child's
plaything once had soothing influ-
ence upon a warlike Apache tribe, and
was the means of avoiding a serious war.
1t happened when Mr.. Bourke was in
Arizona with Gen. Crooke. The general
was trying to put band of Apaches
back on the reserve, but could not
catch them without killing them, and
that he did not want to do. One day his
men captured little Indian girl and
tool. her to the fort She was quiet all
.y. saying not "A word but her black
beads of eyes watched everything,
When night came, however, she broke
down and sobbed just as any white child
would have done.
They tried in vain to comfort her, and
then Mr.. Bourke had an idea. From the
adjutant's wife he borrowed a pretty
doll that belonged to her little daugh-
ter, and when the young Apache was
made to understand that it was hers her
sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was still
clasped in her arms. She played with
it all day, and apparently all thought of
ever getting back to her tribe had left
her.
Several days passed, and as no over
lures about the return of the pappoose
had been made by the tribe, they sent
her, with the doh still in her posses
sion, back TO her people
MsNr. Bourke had no idea Of the effect
NJ NIeneVOlent act would have upOn the
indians, When the child reached them,
with the pretty dollin itschubby hands,
it made great sensation among them,
and later on its mother came back to the
post with It,
She was kindly received and hospi-
tablH treated, and through herthe tribe
was soon ofterward persuaded to move
back TO The reserye.-Cincinnatl En-
