London, March 27-RecOnnoissances
Of slight Importance continue to be the
| only features of the war I'M South Africa.
Lord Roberts wires to the war office as
follows:
"Rioemfontein, March 26.-Captain
Sloane Stanley of the Sixteenth Lancers
was slightly wounded in an affair of the
outposts north of the Modder river on
March 25."
This bare statement is all that comes
from the communicative chief. A dis
patch from Bloemfontein, dated Monday,
March rs, and published i'm the second
edition of the Times, amplifies Lord
Roberts as follows:
"A cavalry reconnaissance was made
yesterday toward Brandford The Six
teenth Lancers, by sklrmishing, drew the
Beers from their position in the open,
when the Ninth Lancers attempted to
out-fiank the enemy while they We're en-
gagged from the front, by a dismounaed
section of the Sixteenth Lancers. Our
casualties are reported to be few
BOer reports from Natal show no de-
yelopments of Importance had occurred
there up to March 23.
General Botha denies the reports that
Transvaal women were wounded in the
Tugela trenches.
General Butler has sent the Beers a
list of their wounded, stating that he
burief, 60 men. General Botha says this
is impossible, as his rolls do not show
any such losses.
A Ladysmlth special Says: "Boer pa
A,,S~ .A<,tr = ,<y1<
Thirteenth Hussars on March 25 at
Waschbank. A hot chase ensued. Sew
eral Beers were wounded. A printed
document has been found, giving the
Boer losses at spion Kop at over $500,
but this can scarcely be credited"
Advices today from Capetown say:
Rains are general throughout South
Africa, and rivers which have BEEN dry
for years are being flooded Many camps
are transformed into swamps. This will
still more initiate against any imme-
diate British advance.
Sickness among the Boer prisoners on
the transports is increasing. Typhoid
alone claimed 100 victims among the
prisoners, and the population of Simons-
town fear an epidemic. A meeting of the
bund was held at Paart on March 16 and
was attended by several members of the
Cape assembly. 1t passed resolutions
regrettlng that the Cape government
was not consulted before the war. and
declaring that any settlement which did
not respect the independence of the re-
public would be detrimental to the high
est interests of the British empire.
Mr.. Hargrove, the chief speaker
prophesied another war within six years
unless independence was granted and
Assemblyman Mariaz characterized the
war as continuance of the Jameson
raid.
1t is stated that Roberts is going to
Capetown to meet Lady Roberts.
