clared that ultimately the people of South Africa
would have their freedom.
The speaker in emphatic terms asserted that the
present inhabitants of Great Britain were a mere
shadow of their forefathers in point of brains and
health. DR.. Jordan said that nation that founded
its destiny on war must reach speedy decay, and
that a great sapped the vitality of the best
blood OF the nation
He deprecated the fact that many of the best
youth OF nation are killed In times of war He
remarked that this accounted for the existence of
a weak nation. both mentally and physically. The
speaker declared that France more than any other
great nation had deterorated, and that more
rowful condition. Among other things he said:

HOW THE BOERS LEFT LADYSMITH.
THE GARRIsoN's HEAVY GUNS PLAYED
UPON THE RETREAmNG AFRIKANDERs.

Durham, Friday, March 2-Correspondents
who have returned here from Ladysnith say
that the relief came quite unexpectedly. At
noon on Tuesday the firing of General Buffers
army seemed to recede instead of to approach,
and the garrison consequently depressed.
Everybody was startled to hear the garrison's
Al gun firing. 1t had not been used much of
late. owing to the diminishing ammunition.
On hurrying out II found that the Beers
were trying TO remove the big gun on Bulwana
by the erection of derrick. This proved that
something extraordinary was happening The
other garrison guns then directed their fire on
Bulwana, with the result that the Beers were
compelled to abandon the attempt with the
derrick. Later on they placed the gun on
wagon, which capsized in a donga
During the afternoon, whenever the Beers
were seen approaching, the British resumed the
Smelling Of Bulwana. About 1 o'clock a terrific
thunderstorm broke the town just after
a message had been photographed from Wagon
Hill that the Beers were in full retreat.
Other officers said they believed they could
descry the British cavalry, but most people sup
posed that the wish was father to the thought
AS soon as the storm ceased the British guns
reopened on Bulwana, gradually concentrating
the fire on the left and driving the Beers be-
fore them, with the object OF preventing the
enemy from hampering any British approach.
An hour later a party OF British horsemen
could be seen crossing the fiat. below Bulwana
at a distance of some miles. 1t is impossible to
describe the excitement and enthusiasm among
the troops that followed Most of the towns
people had been driven into the houses by the
storm, and did not learn the good news until
later.
The storm broke out again at Z o'clock in the
evening and continued until the morning.
1t must have seriously hampered the retreating
Beers. The British gunners kept sharp watch
TO prevent any further attempt to remove the
Bulwana gun
The British naval gun fired at intervals
through the night. and in the morning a force
was sent out to look after the gun and to occupy
Bulwana.
Lord Dundonald's force went after the retreat
ing Beers while four thousand OF the best men
OF the garrison went toward ElandsaaKte in
the hope Of being able to cut off the enemy.

IT is said that the European
governments have advised the two
South African republics to surren-
der their independence to avoid
further bloodshed. This is the
view taken by monarchies. On
this side of the ocean we know
that the tree of liberty never bears
fruit until sprinkled with libation
of patriots blood. The history Of
William the Silent and the Duke of
Alva have taught the Beers the
same lesson. and they will no more
yield to the Establishments of dip
lomatic sophistry than they have to
the more convincing arguments of
British steel.

A VERY startling report comes

Comanche and Apache reservations
are starving by reason of the gov
ernment's refusal to pay them
their annuity. The report says
that they are eating horses and
cattle that die of disease and that
a mass meeting was held in Guth-

In view of the fact that this is the
first information sent out of such
a condition of affairs, and alsc
that it emanates from that prolific

to discredit the report.
