cruiser Talbot will leave for England to-
crew were busy taking on stores. The
men think that England Is about to
make demonstration with her tieet and
this is why the Talbot will be kept In
commission. The men yesterday had q
jolly time around town bidding their
fIisnds and swesthearts good bye as no
more leave will be granted In Halifax.
1t Is now the report that the Talbot will
proceed direct to Portsmouth, staying
there only "a hours, when she will sail
for DeIaaoa Bay. The flagship Crescent
moved In TO pier this morning to take
on 400 tons OF coal. A curious thing
about this Is the fact that the flagship
has only finished the ooaling Of 500 tons.
Why she should take tn, other 400 t)ns
is . mystery as 1t Is usual for her when
departing from this port for the West
Indies to only half I'LL her bunker capac-
ity. In this instance the ships bun kers
are filled TO their utmost. i2C0 tons. The
coaling and storing Of the We sssls places

from Buiuwayo Rhodesia, dated Mon
day, says:
"a Boer force Is threatening Chief
Khama and Chief Linch We. who are loyal
to Great Britain. khama and Linchws
country lies at the extreme northwest Of
the Transvaal and includes Ee,huana-
land. 1t seems gross mistake for the
Hoers to provoke war among the natives.
The probable explanation is that the
Boer force intends to destroy the rail way
to Buluwayo, which runs through
tempt OF Col. Plaumer's Rhodesian force
to got the relief Of Mafeklng. Already
there have been stories Of Rhodesian
armorsd train engaging the Beers some
