PORTLAND. Me-, April 7.-Mr Rimouski.
the South African correspondent of the
Montreal Herald. arrived to-day from
South Africa. Mr.. Rimouski saw General
Wauchope fall at Magersfontein and said
his body was riddled with bullets. He was

was very modest and manly in appearance.
Mr.. Rimouski expressed the opinion that
unless the Beers surrender at once when
the English reach Pretoria there will be
another long siege with at least six months
more of hard warfare. He thinks there will
be three more great battles. and that many
lives will be sacrificed before the war is
ended. The correspondent says the prin-
cipai fault Of the British is that they do
not do enough scouting and are thus un-
aware OF what they will run into.

A crowd OF white people, numbering
about thirty, living just below the dam, in
tents, were seen at their habitations just
before the dam broke, and have not been
accounted for since. 1t is generally believed
that all OF them were swept away. One
man, attempting to cross the roadway

A Gladstone DAY.
Many Children Made Happy by q
Sight of Their Queen.


DUBLIN, April THE children's demon
stration, which closed Queens week in Ire
land, was probably one of the most glad
some days either the Queen or Dublin has
known in years. Certain it is that the
Queen is making fresh conquests daily and
her Majestys many acts of personal self
sacrifice have completely won the hearts
of the people of Ireland.
To-day's demonstration had elements of
joy which the Queen has experienced but
seldom in the recent gloomy months.
There were miles of cheering children
under a continuous canopy of fiuttering
flags, with background of thousands of
holiday-making elders who accompanied
them.
The charming weather tended to make
the celebration in every way delightful.
not only to the Queen, but to the little
princes, who followed in the royal pro-
cession. The genuineness and spontaneity
of the children's welcome kept her Majesty
in continual good humor and yet visibly
affected her deeper feelings as we'll The
fact that $1,000 children arrived and de-
parted from Dublin without serious acci-
dent, far known. is not the least re-
markable feature of the day.
Children arrived in crowds throughout
the morning from all parts Of the country
to attend the fete in the park The streets
were full Of picturesque professions Of
boys and girls. all the children carrying
small union jacks. probably for the first
time in their lives. They were in charge Of
priests, sisters and teachers. When the

princesses. drove through the extended lines
