t London, Feb. Z, 4:20 a. m.-Lord Rob-

towns bordering upon the invaded COL

Staters and Transvaalers to go into the
desert. offering them good treatment
and a restoration to their farms on the
British occupation Of republican terri

foreigners will have their passage paid

to surrender in preference to be taken
as prisoners. - E4s &

AS Lord Roberts, since the battle Of
Spion Kop has had 10000 fresh troops

have gone to General Butler.
The World says it learns THAT. Lord
Methuen has disbanded Relnington's

young and without much capital. The
girl was a beauty and loved the boy, but
the father. (the same old irate father) OBJ

that he was capable of supporting a wife.
This was in st. Louis about ten years
ago, and the boy came to me with his
troubles.

this young fellow, and the old man flared
a little, stating that he wanted some one

daughter. ~ E
