Favorable Reply.

London. Nov. 2S.-The Daily Mail
alarmist dispatch from Cape Town:
'"The anti-Bri,ish feeling in Cape
Colony is assuming dangerous proper
tons, owing to false stories spread of
British baTbarity in Orange River

feel that the Dutch congress next week

claimed throughout the colony. The
situation is declared to be graver than
at any previous time during the war. -
Referring editOTially to its Cape
Town advices. the Daily Mail adopts
a most serious tone, asserting that the
anti-British movement is accentuated
by the withdrawal of troops from Cape

by the British government.
