According to a dispatch from Cape
Town. "Mr. Cecil Rhodes keeps a big
balloon ready at Kimberley as means
Of 'escape If driven to that extremity"
MI Rhodes Is wise in being prepared
for departure on moments notice. If
the Poers caught him, they would think
much less about the splendor Of his
ambition and the magnitude of his
projects than about the inconvenience
which they and other slow moving folk
have suffered from the execution Of
some Of the empire builders plans.
They might be very. harsh to Mr..
Rhodes in a face to face interview, and
IL they. did not straightway avenge on
him, CERTAIN old time grudgesS they
would make him pay a high price, for
mercy. ,,'s..~ss,tq,,,:.. ~.

Bogus Time Checks.
Brainerd. Nlinn., Dec. 29.-What
appears to be a Wholesale system of
swindling on small scale OF the
merchants Of Brainerd, came to light
today, when the local banks receiyed
'advjces' from the Cross lake Log
gi1fg company, of minneapolis. that
a number OF time checks cashed here
were bogus They number fully: a
dozen, and varyin alno,lntsfrom S25
TO $50, IN all, nearly $500. The cheeks
have been cashed ny the merchants
in the usual course. Of business. 1t is
believed by some OF the parties that
the checks are all right. but the COM
pany refuses to honor them, and
there the matter stands at present.

THE WAR IN
SOUTH AFRICA

LONDON, July 1.-General Botha is
showing increased activity. His patrols
cover wide stretches Of country, APP
proach near the British outposts and
engage in skirmishes while larger bod
les threaten to attack, declining to al
low themselves to be caught by the re-
turn blows which the British promptly
seek 10 deliver. Attacks of this sort
were made Friday last at Pinaarsport
on General Pole-Carew and at The
Springs. Generals Botha and Dewet
are seemingly operating in combina-
ton. Botha is reported to have divid-
ed his forces into two parts. one NOV
ing west and the other to the south. to
| try 70 effect a junction with Dewet.
Boer circulars are out, exaggerating
the Chinese troubles and urging the
burghers to rejoin the army.
/ Lord Roberts and several co-operat-
ing columns are still out within strik-
ing distance of Dewet.
Dr. Conan Doyle, in an Interview
with the Daily Telegraph's Pretoria
correspondent, says the hospital ar
rangements have been severely tried,
but that no more could have been done.
Lord Roberts. in the course of an in
terview. said he thought that the char
ges brought against the Governments
by William a. Burdette- Coutts. Con-
servative member OF Parliament for
Westminster. that inadequate provision
had been made for the sick and wound
ed. were probably based upon one hos
pital and a hasty generalization there
on.
The Times Pretoria correspondent
telegraphs that General Colville ha:
been ordered home.
LONDON, July 9.--Lord Roberts tele
graphs TO the War Office from Preto
ria as follows: THE officer command
ing at Hebron reports that State Sec
rotary Blignaut. State Attorney Dick
son and Members of the Council Val
