Queen Victoria is visiting Dublin, the
capital of Ireland, the first time for 39
years. The object of this visit at this
time is to show the confidence of the
aged and beloved sovereign in the
people of this important part of her
kingdom and to inspire within them that
patl iotism that large portion of these
people have not m Infested in times
past. There has been aud probably will
be for generations to come antiquity be-
tween the Irish and English people, but
acts of the reigning sovereign of this
kind thar bring her near the people of
Ireland must have tendency to mitigate
this antipathy and bring the people of
the two islands nearer together. The
Queen was received with great public
demonstrations and her progress through
the parts she visited was like that Of a
conqueror Few sovereigns are blessed
with the love of her people that the
venerable queen Of Great Britain has.
Perhaps none in the world at this time.
And she is worthy of it.

The south African War.

Friday, Lord Roberts occupied a
cluster of hills II miles north of Bloem-
fontein, won from the Beers after stiff
fight in which his losses were one
hundred men and seven officers.
The advance beyond Bloemfonten is
through bare country and the supply
officers foresee an increasing difficulty
in providing for "A great army along a
single line of railway, even when the
latter is working smoothly and with
ample rolling stock.
"Vigorous measures have been taken
by the British to harrass maurauding
bands of Transvaal Beers. The latter
are resortipg to guerilla methods, chiefly
against Free Skaters who refuse to join
Kruger"
Two English batteries and convoy
were taken by Beers, Saturday. They
walked into a trap set for them. This
occurred near Bloemfontein. The loss
of life was not great, since most of the
British had walked into the trap before
a shot was fred.
Lord Roberts, Saturday, reported to
the war Office that he had received news
from Col. Baden Powell at Mafeking, up

State Railways" and superseding this by
the title international Military Rail
ways"
Lord Roberts sent despatch of con
dolence to President Kruger on the
death of Gen Joubert, speaking of him
as distinguished general who devoted
his life to the service ofshis country.
The advance of General Roberts is
checked. He finds himself up against II
most stubborn foe, one not easily dis
couraged and with great recuperativr
powers. Not waiting In the last ditch
to defend their capital the Beers are now
on the aggressive and are making things

The American arrangement for schools
In Cuba has worked well thus far
The attendance on the island has been
raised from 1000 to $4,000 pupils, with
1000 teachers. Although English is
taught, the teachers employed are
Cubans. No local school taxes are
raised. The school expenses, which 1t is
expected will this year reach 81, 100000
are paid from the island treasury. The
hope of Cuba lie in the intelligence Of the
people and their great interest in the
schools is certainly an encouraging in
dication.
