London, February 2O.-The queen
prior to leaving Orsborne house this
morning on her return to Windsor, in
Spected the fourth battalion of the
Lincolnshire militia. Her majesty an
nounced with a gratiied smile that
good news had been received this
morning from the seat of war. Another

The queen through her private sec

the following letter to the commander
in-chief Of the forces, Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley:
Osborne, February l..
My Dear Lord Wolseley:
LAS SO large a proportion OF the
army is now in South Africa, the queen
fully realizes that necessary measures
must be adopted for home defense.
Her majesty is advised that it would
be possible to raise for a year an eff
cient force from her old soldiers who
have already served as officers, nom
commissioned officers or privates and
confident in their devotion to the coun-
try and loyalty to her throne, the
| queen appeals to them to serve her
once more in place of those, who, for
a time, side by side with the peoples
of her colonies, are nobly resisting the
invasion of her South African posses
sions. Her majesty a signified her
pleasure that these battalions shall be
designated the Royal Reserve battal-
ions Of her army.

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
Mike McCawley Attempts to Get
Away From Justice.
Especial Correspondence


Price, Aug. 19.-Mixe McCawley, who
was lodged in Jail some time ago, for
attempting the life of William Halls,
at Scofield. made a bold attempt to
break jail last evening about O'Clock.
He was allowed the privileges of the
corridor by the sheriff, only being
locked in his cell at night. He had by
some means succeeded in battering the
front door to such a degree that had
the sheriff been five minutes later upon
the scene McCaWleY would have been
tanning the breeze for distant hills
The sheriff proposes to keep him locked
IN cage from now on, until he gets
his hearing at the next. term of the
district court in October. This will be
severe treatment, as the calls are very
small, aflOrding little accommodation
However the officer does not propose
to give him another chance to get
away, which he viii certainly do should
the slightest opportunity offer.
