In the South African war the British
under Lord Roberts are still pushing
ahead. Bloemfontein. the capital of
of the Orange Free State has been oc-
cupied and in London it is held that it
has virtually become British posses
sion. The appeal of President Kruger
to outside powers for Intervention has
not met with success England has
given it out emphatically that she will
not accept Intervention at this time
and the reply of Lord Salisbury to
Kruger's proposition for peace, that
England could not recognize the in
dependence of the two republics at this
time, and nothing but unconditional
surrender would be accepted, undoubt-
eddy seals the fate of South African af-
fairs. There has been great deal of
talk from time to time that the powers
would intervene before anything of this
kind would be allowed, just as there
was talk that the United States would
not be allowed to take the Philippines
from Spain, but the recent attitude. of
the powers in relation to Kruger's ap
peal for Intervention, indicates that
En- gland will not be interfered with in
her South African affairs.

French Invasion Of Ireland" Here
IL one terrible incident Of q terrible
crime:
One pathetic picture remains Of this
last and terrible chapter In the abor-
i've insurrection in Mayo In the record
Of the fate Of one of the widest and
poorest Of the poor and wild villages Of
the Laggan. Here where Downpat-
rick Head stands out against the ocean,
IL q striking natural curiosity called
the Poolnashanthana. chasm nearly
half a mile in length, which cuts clean
through the headland, and from the
top of which the clear green water can
be seen 80 feet below. Near the bot
tom Of the chasm and along its whole
length runs a ledge Of rock, bare when
the tide is out. but covered by many
feet Of water when it rises. The peas
antry, returned from the rebellion,
were busy one October day endeavor-
ing to save the remnant Of their neg
lected harvest, when suddenly the
alarm was spread that the troops from
Killala were at hand.
Well knowing what they had to ex-
pect from the terrible Fraser Fenci-
bles, the rebel harvesters, surprised
and unable to escape to the mountains,
made for the adjacent cliffs, whose
rough faces they were used to climbing
miliar. 1t was with many Of them S

ledge Of rock at the POolnashanthana
in pursuit Of seals or seabirds' nests,
to which they could gain access by
means of rope let down from the top
Of the cliff. 1t CHANGED that at the mo-
ment Of the soldiers raid the tide was
out and quickly bethinking them
selves that there was a place of safety
In which they might find temporary
refuge, they descended to the ledge,
the rope being held for them by a
young woman. who was to return and
release them as soon as the soldiers
had withdrawn.
Many hours they waited there, ex-
pecting every moment that the rope
would be lowered by their friend. But
though the soldiers had retired long ere
the tide rose, the woman came not.
Terrified by the presence of the mill
tary she had fed to the hills without re-
membering her charge, or apprising
others Of the hiding-place of these FIVE
and-twenty stalwart peasants.
Night came on. and with it the re-
morseless tide running high above the
level Of the ledge; and when morning
dawned the villagers, looking down
into the chasm, saw the lifeless corpses
Of their sons, brothers and husbands
washing to and fro with the idle splash
Of the waves in the abyss of the Pool.
