WHY BELLIGERENCY WAS RECOGNIZED.
One word in conclusion. The question is fire.
quently asked why England a fortnight after
the outbreak of the should have recognized
the Beers as belligerents, thereby subJecting
herself to all the disadvantages of the laws Of
neutrality. the reason briefly Is as follows:
Had Great Britain adhered to her contention
that the Beers were mere rebels against their
suzeraiD she would have become financially re-
sponsible for all the damage to foreign property
in connection with the war, in precisely the
same manner the Egyptian Government at
the close of the Arab rebellion and the bonn
bardment OF Alexandria was compelled to pay
S30000.000 for damage to foreign property in
Egypt by the rebellion; that is. through the
failure OF the responsible Government to main

sibility EX-ATTACHE.

WAR OFFICE SLOW TO HEAR THE NEWS.

London. Feb. 90. $50 p. m.-The War Office
is still without any information in regard to the
casualties among the Canadian troops in South
Africa, referred to in Premier Laurier's speech
and the officials do not know from what source
the lists can be issued. The War Office depre-
Gates any premature publication, and is in
clined to doubt the slim details cabled here
from Canada.
representative Of The Associated Press has
been informed that arrangement exists that
the Cape Government gives notice to the other
colonial governments of the casualties in their
forces when the list is received at Cape Town
from the Commander in Chief thus insuring
simultaneous publication in Great Britain and
in the colony. This mode evidently was not
followed, as Lord Roberts so far has not men
toned the Canadian losses, except In the
of two officers wounded The Canadian Com
missioner here and the Colonial Office are in just
as much ignorance and anxiety regarding the
truth of the report the many relatives in
England of those serving with the Canadian
contingent.
The Globe" says:
The spirit in which a brave strong nation
should meet trials Is admirably illustrated by
the temper displayed by Canada. The war, if
it has done nothing else, has killed political bit
terness and mere party strife in all the colonies
The contrast between Ottawa and Westminster
is painful and humating.

Among the passengers who arrived here from

mission. which the only object of her visit to

painted miniatures, and among these included
many of the crowned heads of Europe the person
atty of Cecil Rhodes made the deepest impression

I had excellent opportunity to study him. What
struck most forcibly the tremendous
energy of the man; the superabundance of
vitality. It was so great as to be almost Oppres-

man of peace, but Mr.. Rhodes is a of war.
He a good subject as painters say but his
characteristic mannerism was nervous pacing up

started to paint miniatures of him before | tried
had disagreements with him. The first unwisely
showed him the miniature while it in its first
stage. and they disagreed. The second allowed
him to criticse the work as it on, and he
made such exactions that it was impossible
continue I did not let him see my miniature
until it almost completed. His one comment
was, Can't you make me look kinder?' l insisted
that the expression Of severity which had brought
out was true to him, and he then approved my
work. l do not think he had any idea that the
troubles in South Africa would lead such a result
as this He believed always that the outcome
would be peaceful Cecil Rhodes did not impress
me as a schemer intriguer. I know that
my opinion differs from the common estimate of
him, but did not any Of the traits commonly
ascrbed to him. He deals with his problems rather
by strength and stubborn steadfastness of pur-
pose. His methods with the Beers under

Miss Kdssner declared that the Beers were be-
hind in civilization, but were people OF wonderfully
rugged strength. She said that she had visited
some OF the Boer villages and that of them
was she thought, the most beautiful place she had
ever seen.
