Colonel J. r. Y. Blake is a dashing
Irish soldier in South Africa command
ing the Irish Brigade in the Boer army.
He wrote a letter to a friend, we sup
pose, but it appeared in the London
Times not long since. He has a poor
opinion of the British soldiers in he
Transvaal, and, we must think, great
Iy depreciates their fighting qualities.
He has been in the thick OF the fight
and ought to know the enemy he has
often engaged. We make a few cut
tings from his rather remarkable let
ter. He says he is facing the enemy as
he writes. We quote:
Each is waiting for the other to
strike, and when the crash comes i
think Johnny Bull will, as usual, make
a bold dash and then u II his tail owe
his back and run for all that is in him,
but without leaving the greater part Of
his best blood behind him In every
battle so far his conduct has been as
described and he has been numerically
cut and slashed before making his es-
cape. Think of it, Our total force in
South Africa so TAR has been $4,000.
Our total loss in killed, and
prisoners has been 665 killed, $500 pr1s-

their losses to be 1890 killed, $4,000
wounded, and prisoners and missing
enough TO bring the total to $4,000.
Cronje had $500 men and was sur
rounded by 10000 men and ITO cannon.
Cronje had two cannon and two Max
inns. He fought for six days and sur
rendered because his ammunition gave
out. He lost 43 killed and about 12C
wounded. The English soldier
can murder, debauch and plumber, but
he can't fight. Until his war / believ-
ed the English soldier the best in the

Mr.. Mills had in the meantime got out
