trial will probably be conducted by
the supreme court.
The Colonial Dutch point out that
these prosecutions will serve to make
more rebels, as they consider the treat
ment Of the prisoners designed to ter
rify them. Some Britons regard the
prosecutions as impolitic, in view of
the fact that the Beers are able to
retaliate upon the 100 British officers
and the $500 privates in their hands,
and might do so unless all who fight
in the Boer ranks are treated as pris-

THE ASSAULT ON LADYSMITH.


Boer Account of the Great Battle-De-
feat After Desperate Fighting.
London, Jan. ia special dispatch
from the Hoofd lager, at Ladysmith,
dated January 8, via Lourenzo Mar
quez, describing the assault of Janu-
AIRY 6, upon Ladysmith, says:
THE British made no attempt to
hold the first line of breastworks, but
made an exceedingly stubborn resist
ance at the next row. Every inch was
stubbornly contested, and conspicuous
bravery was displayed on both sides.
After ten o'clock the British artil-
lery fire slackened, and a terrible indi-
v.dual contest ensued among the rifle
men for the possession of Plat-rand
ridge. At noon a heavy thunderstorm
interrupted the battle, lasting two
hours.
although the burghers succeeded
in ultimately gaining possession of
most of the British positions on the
western side of the Plat-rand, they
were finally obliged to retire from
most of the ground they occupied.
The British were most strongly in
trenched, their redoubts being still
fully loopholed, and the combat was SO
close that rifles were frequently fired
at arms length. 1t was a hand-to-
hand encounter. The men on both
sides fought like demons. and the hor-
ror and bewilderment of the scene
could scarcely be paralieled.
The operations were continued the
next day Sunday on smaller scale,
but it is reported that as result OF
one of the forlorn hopes, one gun and
two ammunition wagons were cap
tured."

PRESIDENT KRUGER SPEAKS.
Still Ahirms that Providence II

Still AHirms that Providence is
Fighting with the Beers.
Pretoria, Thursday Jan. II, via Lou
reno Marquez.-President Kruger, in
the course of stirring address just
issued to the burghers, affirms that
Providence is on their side, that their
cause is just and that they must sue
coed.
Reports from Colesberg represent
the position there as favorable to the
republicans, but that the British are
concentrating fer operations on a
large scale.
The official list of the Boer casual
ties in what is called the "Plat-rand
fight" on Saturday, January 6 (the at
tack upon Ladysmith), shows 26 killed
and II wounded. These figures are de-
clared to be the first authentic returns.
The embargo at Delagoa Bay upon
Transvaal imports is the question of
the hour with the Burghers. If this
is not removed it is asserted that steps
will be taken prejudical to prisoners
and aliens.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.


London, Jan. 15.-It is learned that
Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state for
war, accepted, on Saturday, the offer
of Lord Strathcona, Canadian high
commissioner in London, to provide,
distinct from the Canadian contin-
gents, force of at least 400 mounted
men from Manitoba, Northwest terri
tory and British Columbia, and to arm,
equip and convey them to South Afri-
ca at his own expense. All will be ex-
pert marksmen, rough riders and
scouts.
1t is estimated that the offer will in
volve an expenditure of 100000. The
war office regards Lord Strathcona's
proposal as an extraordinary proof of
colonial patriotism.
