London, Jan. 1S.-South Africa news
is not exciting. The proclamation of
martial law throughout almost the
whole of Cape Colony, Lord Kitchen
cI's strong measures against the popu-
lation of the republics, the placing on
reduced rations of the wives of Beers
in the field, and similar measures, go
10 show that there is still heavy work
ahead. British offensive operations
have ceased for the present. 1t is sup
posed that Lord Kitchener is collecting
his strength for final effort to crush
or to capture the commanders by a
repetition of the tactics which caused
the surrender of General Cronje and
General Prinsloo.
1t is alleged that the Beers who are
concentra ting at Carolina and Ermele
are preparing to descend into Natal.
The casualty list issued yesterday
shows that the Beers have released
297 British who We're captured at
Helvetia and Belfast. The facts regard

yet been allowed to transpire. 1t is
asserted that more heavy naval guns
will be landed at the Cape. Informal

who was appointed a delegate of the
Beers here TO ask the fighting Beers
to surrender under Lord Kitcheners
reclamation. was made prisoner by
the fighting Beers and sent to Pietre-
wieff, accused of high treason to the
South African republics. The Beers
are still active around Standerton."
Standerton, Jan. 1S.-Colville's mo-
bile column, marching from New Den
mark to Vlaklaagte, was attacked by
1000 Beers, divided into two forces.
One force made a determined attempt
on the baggage, and the other on the
cavalry constituting the rear guard.
The cavalry was compelled to retire
until protected. by four companies of
rifles hidden behind ridge. who were
waiting with bayOnets- The Beers
then made a speedy retreat leaving
several dead and wounded. Eventual
