BRITONS AND B0ERS.

A London firm recently sent 100000
packets Of stationery as free gift to
South African soldiers.
The full parade dress Of British
Hussar officer costs about Sos. The
parade uniform of a Black Watch Off
Ger costs go.
Lord Methuen Joined the Wiltshire
Yeomanry at the age Of II and two
years later became an ensign in the
Scots fusiliers.
The British soldier has not always
worn a red uniform. White was the
prevailing color under Henry WILL,
and dark green or russet in the time Of
Elizabeth.
English soldiers complain Of a severe
rule which makes them pay for any
part of their equipment lost on the
field. If a man loses a water bottle
through no fault of his own it costs
him So cents.
Bugler Colin Campbell, attached TO
the Cathcart frontier mounted rifles,
is probably the youngest soldier on
active service in South Africa. He is
only - years of age.
Earl Spencer refuses to allow the
bells in the schools on his estates TO be
rung on festival occasions during the
war, on the ground that it is unbecom-
inc while the nations soldiers are dy-
ing in South Africa.
An amusing account of an alleged
Boer victory was recently published in
a special edition of a small Prussian
newspaper. 1t reported that the Beers
had sunk 46 English war vessels in
Delagoa bay with a search light!
As far back as 177O, on a royal visit
to Woolwich, 12-pounder brass gun

Regimental bands. as a rule, are left
behind when the regiment is ordered

band generally goes with the regiment,

men when a. battle is being fought.

The following extracts from n letter
written TO Mr.. Benz. Davies, Canadian
Government Agent ut 81. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea Of what is said
Of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years:
when we first arrived here and took
up u homes on the prairie near Dales-
bOrO. ASA, for a short time we had a
fit Of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business. hale, hearty and
Contented, enjoying the finest winter
we have ever seen. We have got very
comfortably situated, with considerable
preparation for Il crop. and all hopeful.
! think this is a very fine country, and
II the past seasons crop Is not an eN-
ceptiOn, which they claim not. | believe
this Is going 10 he the wheat field OF
the West. 1t is filing up fast. In this
township last spring there were TWEEN
ty five quarter sections of land vacant,
nnd to-day there Is not one; ! can stand
dt my house and count ten houses
where there was not one last spring,
with six more to go up this spring.
This is only a sample Of what is going
on all round. We intend to build II
church next summer, right close to my
place, so we will be strictly in line. 1t
would have amused you to have been
here last spring. There were crowds OF
land seekers, and sometimes in the
spring the prairie is not very inviting,
ana OF course lots were disconnected.
There was One in the crowd who jump
ed on me for putting a letter in the

have come here, and lie was very hos

today claims he would not take n thou
sand dollars and move out; so | am
glad he Is satisfied.
well, my dear sir, as Arthur Finney
is about TO move out in March, with
his family, and also one of my sons,
anything you can do for them to assist
them along and to make things smooth
as possible will be greatly appreciated
by me. ! will close for this time, and

know we are living. Drop us a few
lines to let us know how things are
moving in St. Paul.

His OnIy Chance,

Most of the military writer's think
Cronje's only chance lies i'm a powerful
diversion in his favor by Dutch rein
forcementS drawn from Natal, Coles
berg and StOrmberg. Three British
brigades were in action Sunday and
Monday, with another and French's
cavalry in reserve. If 10000 burghers
from Natal and 10000 more from the
southern frontier could be suddenly
concentrated against Cronie's besieg-
ers his deliverance might be effected,
or at least the issue of tho tragic
struggle at Koodoosrand would be left
I'm doubt. Roberts would have two
brigades Of the Seventh division avail
able as a reserve against this conccn-
tration and possibly another from the
First division, although he has a line
of communications to be guarded
for twenty-five or thirty miles from
Modder river station. From $4,000 TO
10000 men could be massed by Roberts
in urgency about koOdoosrand. There
is no evidence yet that Dutch concen-
tration has taken place in that quar-
ter on a large scale. 4 Pretoria re-
port stated that 5000 Beers had gone
from Natal into the Free State. This
estimate may not be included in the
Free State forces retiring westward
by Harrismith and Bethlehem. The
Dutch forces have disappeared from
the Colesberg and S%tormberg districts,
where the British columns. thin as
they are, can advance cautiously to-
ward Orange river, but the strength
of the reinforcements available for
Cronje's assistance from that quarter
is conjecture. Well informed men in
close touch with the war Office agree
that the best thing that can happen
for the British side is the c]Oncentra.
ton of the entire Dutch army at Koo.
doosrand, since that policy will enable
Roberts to deliver a crushing blow
with his own forces heavily massed a
short distance from their railway
base. Otherwise they say Cronje's sur.
render will be followed by Il tedious
campaign through the enemy's coun.
try with long lines of communication
to be maintained.

HOLDING OUT TO SAVE HIS GUNS
Belief That Cronje Sent Artillery on
Ahead---Views OF Experts.

Belief That Cronje Sent Artillery on
Ahead---Views OF Experts.
New York, Febs 26.-According to
advices from London to New York pa
pers there are rumors afloat that
Ladysmith and Mafeking have been
relieved, and it is again reported that
Cronje has surrendered. The war Of
flee, however, has not confirmed any
OF these stories. There is much eX-
citement in the streets about the war
office and newspaper Offices and ru-
mors of British victories are received
with more credence than heretofore.
The splendid fight of Cronje has ex-
the belief is general that his struggle
is hopeless.
To Save His Guns.
1t is believed in London by many
war experts that Cronje is playing a
desperate game of shrewd Boer tao
ties. So far no report contains any
mention of the capture of the Beers
big guns. OF all the artillery about
Magersfontein and Kimberley only
one 12-pounder was found when the
British occupied the ground. 1t is said
Cronje started all the guns from their
places with orders 10 get them across
the Naal as soon as he learned that
Lord Roberts was in command ut Mod
der river with reinforcements, and
moved himself with all the mounted
lioers as oon as he learned of
Frenchs movements in his rear. OBJ
servers in London think he went as far
as he could, then picked a position and
determined to sit tight until assured
that the artillery had escaped. The
reinforcements Lord Roberts reports
having scattered are said to have been
the Boer rear guard and artillery train
which was covering the movement to
the north and east. There are no re-
ports of any artillery fire i'm response
TO the British attack at Koodoosrand.
Cronje's plan appears To be to hold all
the British possible about his camp
till it is certain his artillery retreat is
assured. The proposed armistice would
have gained t~wenty-four hours for the
retreat of the guns while the agree.
ment would only have covered the
fighting force engaged AT that point.
Boer sympathizers think Cronie will
hold fast until the last moment, and
that then an order will be given. "Ev.
cry man for himself" with instruc-
tions to rally at a point north where
the artillery will be safe in a new po.
sition. 1t is believed by some experts,
also, that the Ladysmith runs are be.
ing slowly and safely removed to de.
fend the Transvaal passes, while a
