London. Sept. 29.-From Bloemfon-
tein, Orange Free State, it is said on
reliable authority that at a secret ses-
sion the raad has passed a stringent
commando law. Burghers who have
left the Orange Free State recently
have been ordered to return in default
of G500 fine, five years Imprisonment
and the confiscation of their property.
From the British side comes fur

ments of a minor character, but all
pointing to preparations to safeguard
the frontier line in the event of war,
until a sufficient force is assembled to
take the offensive.
