OF the interest heretofore given the war

Transvaal capital the war would be at
an end, but now they are becoming
gradually convinced that the resources
OF the Beers are by no means exhausted
and the end is stlll far of. Meanwhile
the situation In the Orient becomes
threatening while the British army is
occupied many thousands OF miles
away. II does not seem clear To- anyone
what game Russia Is playing. There
