The Department Of State has received a
letter from United States Consul Griffith
which contains some advice to prospective
settlers in Mexico. He says:
The colonization law of Mexico allows
free entry OF the effects Of intending set
tiers only to persons who have acquired
the legal character and status of colonists
and who come as such TO settle in some
colony established by authority Of a con-
cession granted by the Federal Govern

In all these cases. they have either act
cd under the instructions of ill-advised
persons or have expected the representa-
tive OF the United States to arrange mat
ters satisfactorily for them upon their ar
rival at the border. and it goes without
saying that upon learning that the Gov
eminent of Mexico would allow exemptions

and the frankness of DR.. Leyds on the sub

| particularly impress US. 1t is quite as
( probable that the British general has
heavy fighting ahead of him long before
he reaches Bloemfontein. Indeed, the
chances are that he is engaged today. as
his scouts have found the Beers in force
to the east, and several commandos are
reported to the south and southwest Of
Paardeberg threatening the communica-
tions
Butler should soon be able to cross the
border into the Free State His cleanup
in Natal is not quite complete. as Dundon-
aid mas gone up toward Laings Mex in
the hope of heading off some of the Beers
and capturing whatever guns they may
have. Unless they are impeded by their
artillery they are hardly apt to be caught,
being quite as mobile as Lord Dundonald
and having days start of him. 1t must
be admitted that more mastery retreat
than that OF Joubert from Ladysmith
would be hard TO find in history He ap-
pears to have kept up his resistance sue
cessfully and without exposing any sign
of weakness until he had started all his
big guns toward Pretoria by rail- and sent
his light ordnance across Van Reenen's
pass into the Free State. No doubt within
a few days Sir Redvers Butler will be in a
position TO take an active part in carry
ing out Lord Roberts further plan of cam
paign, which may develop into something
to surprise his antagonists.
Some of the London military writer's
suggest the theory that he may ignore the
Free State route which has been so careful
ly provided for by the Beers, and try a long
turn to Pretoria by Mafeking. There may
be something in the idea, but it does not
strike one with much force. The main OBJ
ject OF the campaign is not to reach Pre-
toria but to defeat and destroy the Boer
armies which are making war on the en-
pire. They can be reached. If at all,
with much shorter movement, and II
therefore seems more probable that the
advance through the Free State will pro-
ceed at least as far as Bloemfontein. where
or near where it would be perhaps natural
for the three British columns. namely.
those under Roberts from Paardeberg,
Clements from Colesberg, and Butler from
Natal TO effect junction.
The prospects are not only that there
will be interesting and exciting develop
ments all around the field, but that We shall
be able TO hear about them in more
full and satisfactory way than has been
the rule heretofore. Lord Roberts has in
formed the correspondents with his army
that they will be allowed greater free
dom henceforward That being the case
American readers may again be placed in a
position to follow the military operations
with intelligent understanding and ap-
proXimate accuracy.
