Two fresh battalions Of infantry were dispatched
to Durham from Cape Town, but there were no
signs at either port that any disaster had oc-
Cured TO British arms. The arrival Of the Sar-
dinian with the strong contingent of l,OOO men
from Canada was the signal for an outburst or
loyal enthusiasm at Cape Town. The Austria
liam colonies and New-Zealand had also sent
detachments to South Africa. but this was the
largest and best equipped one. The authorities
at the War Office are greatly impressed with
the value Of Colonial assistance and sympathy
In the present war, and discussing measures
for developing the military resources of the self
governing dependencies Of the empire for future
emergencies.

tlon Of the aggressveness and disregard for
tactics which Lord Methuen has shown. The
only strategists whose talents have been con-
spicuously brought out In the campaign are
Generals Hildyard and French, each identified
with the Staff College. 1t cannot be doubted
that Lord Methuen, II he reaches Kimberley
without a reverse, will be the most popular
soldier Of the war. The critics may complain
that he neglects the advantages Of manpuvring
and neither takes guns nor prisoners, but his
bulldog method OF fighting Is English Is easily
understood and is liked. He knows South
Africa well. for he commanded Methuens Horse
In Bechuanaland but he fights without refer
erence to defensive positions or the dlsadvan-
tages Of the ground, attacking every time in
front and marching forward the next day
The full list of casualties at Belmont, posted
at the War Office yesterday, was 297, making
the total for the two battles 494. The list of the
third battle is likely to be even larger although
no positions were carried by direct assault. The
details published to-day by several journals
from their special correspondents explain the
heavy losses Of the naval brigade in the second
battle. They were exposed to a most destruc-
tive fire while charging the enemy's strongest
position. and lost all their officers except two.
Naval discipline had not allowed the officers
TO rid themselves Of their gold lace, and they
were shining marks for the Boer rifemen.
