THE TRANsvAAL. WAR. ssz
England Disturbed by Rumors of
Cape Colony Rebellion.

England Disturbed Dy AumOrB OK
Cape Colony Rebellion.
London, Dec. 21.-The rumors of
widespread rebellion in Cape Colony are
persistent here among the political clubs.
1t is feared that there is imminent dan
ger of Lord Kitchener's supplies being
cut off by the aggressive Beers.
The war office has not yet framed any
practical plan for providing for 10000
mounted men demanded by Lord Kitch
ener, which he claims are absolutely nee
essary to maintain the British position in
South Africa.
| The outlook in South Africa is very
| discouraging, and at no time since the
Boer war has there been such feeling
of gloom as now prevails in political Cir
cles.
| A dispatch has been received here from
| Wellington, New Zealand, stating that
the governor has decided to dispatch an
other contingent of troops to South AT
RIGA.
The details of General De Vets escape
from the encircling British columns fur
nish one of the boldest incidents of the
war. When Haasbroek's command join
ed De Wet, Dec. II. some 10 miles east
of Thabanchu, General Knox was only
| aDOul an uOuT tuSldHt, anu tlle IpOer Slt-
uation appeared desperate. But DE Wet
was equal to the occasion. Dispatching
lIaasbroeli westward to make feint ut
Victoria Mex, De Wet prepared to break
through the British columns ut Spring
haau Mex pass, about four miles of broad,
flat, unbroken ground. AT the entrance
were two fortified posts, while artillery
was posted ON a hill eastward, watching
the Beers.
Suddenly a magnificent spectacle was
presented. The whole Boer army of
$500 men started at gallop in open or
der through the mex. President Steyn
and Piet Fourie led the charge, and De
Wet brought up the rear. The British
guns and rifles doomed and ratified inces-
sanity. The Beers first tried the east
a ward route; but. encountering artillery
they diverged and galloped to the front OF
the hill to the westward, where the fire OF
only single post was effective.
The whole maneuver was piece OF
. magnificent daring. and its success was
, complete in spite of the loss of a IL
FOUNDER and % prisoners.
