n This curious dispatch constitutes all
the war news received up to this hour.
The country is eagerly awaiting to hear M
whether General French succeeded in
cutting off the retreating Beers; but Of
his progress there is no word. The
military critics Of the afternoon news
papers differ as to the chances OF an
other Paarde eberg, but they agree; in
considering the situation in the Free
State as being eminently satisfactory.
They argue that even if General French
is unable to intercept the main Boer
forces, he may score considerable sue
cess in a series of rear guard actions or
the isolation Of struggling bodies.

Sir Alfred Miner over Warren's ap-

that the command der-in-chief of the
British forces in South Africa scarcely
approves Of it, and that the previous re-

coming home by the action Of the Brit

This marble is a very different article
from what we who have not been in

its binding whiteness, and the Achil-
leon can be plainly seen miles away at
sea. when n building of similar size,
say, of red sandstone, would be no more
visible than a peasants hut. The
grounds surrounding the palace are
worthy of the building. and are now
being extended and deliberately done
up, so as to rival the beautiful grounds
surrounding the Casino at Monte Carlo.
