SOUTH AFRICAN. WAR NEWS.

The news from South Africa
grows brighter for the Beers.
Lord Roberts is loosing his
horses by the thousand. The
Beers are closing up around
him at BloemfUntein and are
now in possession of the water
works. Dispatches say the
Beers will now retake or de
stroy the last bridge over
Orange River. The British
troops at Ladysmith are in a
worse condition than when the
seige was raised. They are suf.
tering from dysentery and en-.
teric fever and to that has been
added pneumonia, caused by a
lack of clothing. The Free
State is again practically in the
bands of the Beers. Buffers
army is not in the best condi-
ton for offensive or defensive
and is facing strong Boer
force. In all the sklrmishes
the British are the heaviest
loosers. The Beers have cross.
ed the Basutoland borders and
it is now thought that England
will turn horde of armed saw.
ages loose on them.
The third successive British
disaster is reported this morn.
