4 London, Jan. 3.--Lacklng news from
the main British camps In South Africa
whose future action can alone have an
Z important effect on the larger issues OF
the campaign, the British public Is
making the most Of Col. Pitchers mini
AZURE battle. Unbounded tribute is paid
to the prowess OF the Canadians and
Australians, and graphic accounts are

started for Douglass, the Torontos
bringing up the rear in wagons.

the town unopposed and amid extraor-
binary scenes. The inhabitants were
overjoyed and crowded about the SOL
dlcrs, shaking hands with them, and

thusiasm became frenzed. There were
deafening cheers as the troops ira
versed the main street, and IL was al
most impossible for them to make prog

hands with the colonials.
