MINERAL SPRING WATERS.
The War Tax on Them Being Investigated By

Internal Revenue Collector Nilcs Of

looking after the matter among the
local druggists and others who handle
tho waters. The way the law is now
generally understood is that all water
that is sold for medicinal purposes
must pay the tax. the same as the pro-
prictory medicines. Water that is sold
simply as spring water and for the
purpose Of drinking without any cura-
tive properties claimed for it will not
have to pay the tax as the law is now
understood. Most Of the mineral wa
tiers sold have not had the stamps at
tached. The matter of having stamps
attached to those which are advertised
as remedy for any disease il being
investigated by the collectors in the
State.
Mr.. Niles was calling on the dealers,
Saturday afternoon, and for the pur-
pose Of getting information on the mat
ter and Of informing the druggists Of
the Interpretation of the law.

Changes In the South African war
situation have been rapid during the
past few days. Kimberley has been
relieved, and General Cronje Is In full

Lord Roberts began his campaign by
striking at Commandant Cronie, COW
oring the siege OF Kimberley. In u
little over three weeks he quietly
massed $4,000 men, four infantry divlH.
ions and a cavalry division at a point
on the Moddcr river where he could In
terrupt communication between the
Boer forces operating around Kimbcr-
ley aud Ladysmith, and At tho same
time getting IN the rear Of Cronjs,
making II necessary to either accept
battle on conditions q vo able to the
British. or retreat
on Thursday General Frcncha cav
airy seized the passages Of the Riet
river southeast Of Jacobsdal, and were
at once followed up by two infantry
divisions. The cavalry moved north
aud seized the crossings OF the Modder
river, and the infantry followed At
,teir heels. When one division OF In
fantry was on the Moddcr and tho other
close behind Il between the two rivers,
the cavalry moved forward toward
Kimberley, dispersed the besiegers
from the southeastern front and opened
connection with the town.
The same dey the troops from the
old camp At Modder river station

NAV TURN zuLu's LOOSE.
~ Doors Invade Zulu Territory British VIII
Encourage Zuius 10 Defend Themselves.


~ Bosru Invade Zulu Territory British VIII
Encourage zuius TO defend Themselves.
In the house Of commons, during the
course Of a reply TO a question relative
to the probable Bocr invasion Of Zulu
land, the secretary OF state for the
colonies, Joseph Chamberlain. said that
the government had decided that II the
native territory was invaded by the
Beers, the natives twill be encouraged
and assisted In every way in defending
themselves"
MIR. Chamberlain's reply confirmed
the reports Of the invasion OF zululand
and showed the consequences could not
fail to be serious throughout South
Africa, as the alarm aud unrest OF the
Zulus was bound to spread to the Natal
natives.
The colonial secretary also said the
Natal ministry had notified the home
government that II could not any longer
be responsible for the peaceful attitude
OF the Zulus, as the invasion Of their
country was contrary to a tacit COM
pact that the natives should not be
dragged into the war.
