BAsUTOS COMPLAIN.
Say the Beers Are Robbing
Them.

Cape Town, Nov "a dispatch from
Maseru, dated Friday, says that since
Magistrate Lagden's warning that their
Interference with the Basutos would
cause an uprising, the Beers have been
letting the BaSutOS cross the river into
BaSutoIand. The natives, however, con-
tinued to complain that they were be-
ing robbed of their savings by the au-
thorities. There is no Disgusting from
the natives that the British suffered a
reverse at LadysTnith. It has been ex-
planned to the Europeans as a mere in
cident of the war and they are regard
ing it as insignificant. It was thought
better that everybody should know, the
dispatch adds, land not follow the re-
public's methods of conceaIing reverses
both from the Europeans and Basutos
who have implicit faith in the imperial
government"
The repuIse of the Free States forces
October q is claimed by the Beers, to
have been a brilliant Boer victory and
they say at Elandslaagte the British fled
and that at Ladysmith the Beers retired
because they had expended their am
munitiOn. The Beers also assert that Gen.
White was killed and that certain docu-
ments were found on his body.
Certain residents of COlesburg are free
ly communicating with the Boer force
across the river

The trusts can Cypress some of the
people all the time and all the people
some of the time, but they can't Cypress
all the people all the time. Whenever
they attempt to do that the people will
rise in their might and sweep the OPP
pressors out of existence. There are
many ways in which this can be done
and an effective and swift one will be
brought into operation whenever the
masses are sufficiently impressed with
the necessity of such action. The old
trusts understand this and the new
ones will soon learn it or it will be
worse for them.
