Writing from Cape Town on Jan. 3. the TSmss
correspondent sums up the situation In Care
Colony in the following paragraph:
Perhaps the most i'm portant question Mt
issue at the present moment Is that OF tho
advisability OF considerably extending the area
Of martial law behind the present narrow belt
In which II ls enforced. There can be no doubt
that the ordinary civil law is very Inadequate
TO secure the prompt punishment OF espionage
or sedltious agitation. On the other hand.
there are serious dif1cultles In the way OF tho
administration OF martial law amid n popula.
ton unaccustomed to authority, sturdily inde-
pendent. and eager TO find a grievance.
Our officers are. as a rule. ignorant
OF the country aud OF tho ways OF its
Inhabitants. often unnecessarily ABRUPT In
their demeanor. and too ready to think that
because q man can only speak Dutch and looks
like q Boer he must be disloyal. TIL really
dangerous spies. the glib. slim young
Airikander. who talks English a. well as
an Enalishman born. as a rule passes unsus-
pected. Much has been made BY the Dutch
OF the behavior OF our troops at victoria
West about fourteen DAYS ago. and there seems
no doubt that the Colonel then in command
since transterred-was somewhat reremp-
tory In his demcanor and too ready 10
call a Dutchman a rebel to his face. and
that one OF the officers shot buck on a
farmers land without his permission. &c.
Very much was made OF these mis-
takes. though they were. no doubt. not very
serious. But II 10 dificult to get officers TO
realize that. though a man may be a rebel In
his sym pathies. 1t 10 foolish to drive him into
open rebellion. On the whole. there IL no rea-
son for regarding the situation as very unsatis-
factory. The colonial Dutch know well that
large reinforcement are coming out daily. and
they also know much better than we do the
other side OF the picture. the difficulties uhder
which the Boer forces are laborlnG. the dissen-
sions between the Free State and the Trans
yaal, the lack OF supplies. &c. and all these are
strong arguments in favor OF Keeping the
peace"
