the animus is directed against Great

friend Of two years ago. During our

What I complain Of. to be explicit,
is the course Of a man like Mr.. Bryan
in going from place to place attempt
ing to further his political ambitions
by flaming into jaime whatever anti
British sentiment he may find in our
homogeneous population. He is the
spokesman of a great American party,
a former candidate for the highest Of
fee in the gift Of the nation, and
prospective candidate for another race
after the presidency. His words may
have greater weight and effect abroad
than here at home. / do not think that
the prO-Boer resolutions passed by

Saws Joubert Is Injured.

London, Feb. 5.-The Pietermaritz-

telegraphing yesterday, says;
General Butler has undoubtedly Sc
cured the road to Ladysnith, and
should reach his objective this week.
1t is believed here that the object of
the Beers in occupying Ngutu. Zulu
land, is to secure the road from Dun
dee to sVryheid in case of retreat.
I learn from a reliable source that
General JOubert was seriously injured
by a shell in the fight at Willow Grange
and that he will never be able to COM
mand again on horseback. My infOrma-
ton says that he has, in fact, retired
from the field.
The Beers admit that the attack on
Ladysmith was a serious blunder, ana
would not have occurred if General
JOubert had been in command. Gen
eral Lucas Meyer played the coward
at Talana and sheltered himself in q
Red Cross wagon, shamming sickness
He has been unable to face the Beers

Theorv of smokeless Powder.

Cape Town. Saturday. Feb. 3.-One
competent military observers deductions
from our assault on the BOeT position is
that with modern magazine rifles using
smokeless powder, the defense is ten to
one as compared with the attack. while
formerly the rule was three To one. The
results at Mafeking and Kimberley are
evidence OF this principle equally with
British experience at Magersfontein.
a wonderful change is taking place in
the army. The British are grasping the
new conditions of warfare Our scouts,
mounted infantry. Remington guides Lit
ties corps Of Australians and New Zea-
landers are quite able now to cope with
the Beers. Our infantry. when moving
into action now insJinctiVely seek cover.
