British officers. Many of these threw
up their commissions at the end OF
the Ondurman campaign, there
being little prospect of continuing
the active military career which had
fallen to their lot in three or four
successive campaigns. AT the out
break of the Transvaal War their
example Was followed by other res
ignations. Great Britain could i'll
afford to spare the services of such
we'll tried commanders as Hector
Macdonald, who for years had drilled
and fought with the black battalions;
Hunter, who is acting as Sir George
Whites chief or staff; Rumble who
has been given one of tde lately for
med brigadeS and others.
At Khaltoum aud at Ondurman,
on the opposite bank of the Nile, the
Anglo-Egyptian garrison consists
mainly Of blanck Soudanese, enrolled
in the two battalions, among whom
the mutiny is said to lie have broken
out. Hitherto the confidence of
British officers in the black brigade
has never wavered. There are six
battalionS of these SondaneSe soldi-
ers, recruited from the most warlike
of the tribes, the Dinka and Shillook.
The blacks, though not so quick at
acquiring drill as the Egyptian fell
laheen, have been invaluable as
stiffening power in the native army.
In the DOngola campaign, at Firket,
and especially at OndurmaD, their
military qualities as first class fight
ing men we're amply displayed.
Sir Francis Wingate, in dealing
promptly with the mutineers, will
have this feeling of comradeship to
appeal to in the case of the impress
sionable black troops. At the same
time their profession has always been
fighting, and the last raised battali-
ons may not have been subjected to
discipline sufficiently long for them
to have acquired sense of military
allegiance to the Khedive. Sir Sam
uel Baker, in his earlier operations
in the equatorial provinces, found
this characteristic of fickleness pecu
liarly troublesome.

Duty to PuertO=RicO.

Since the cessien Puerto. Rico has
been denied the principal markets
she had long enjoyed, and the Anne
rican tariffs have been continued
against her products as when she was
under Spanish sovereignty. The
markets Of. Spain are closed to her
products except upon terms to which
the commerce of all nations is sub
iected. The island of Cuba, which
used to buy her cattle and tobacco
without customs duties, now impo-
ses the same duties upon these pre-
ducts as from any other country en-
tering her ports. She has, therefore
lost her free intercourse with Spain
and Cuba without any cOmpensating
benefits in this imarket. Her coffee
vas little known and not in use by
our people, and, therefore, there was
no demand here for this, one of her
chief products. The markets Of the
United States should be opened up
to her products. t'The plain duty
of the United States is to abolish all
customs tariffs between the United
States and PuertO.Rico, and give
her products free access to our mar
