ACTIVITY OF THE BoERs

NEW YORK, Sept. 25,-The Tribune's
LONDON correspondent explains the Pre-
vaillng English view upon the South
African situation in the following dis
patch:
war news from South Africa remains
vague. but details of recent reverses
are reassuring in one respect. Evidence
points TO the errors IN the judgment Of
the officers rather than TO apathy and
staleness. The men Of the rank and file
fought well and there was no lack Of
courage and spirit.
Dewet's temperance in soma unex-
pected quarter is looked for hourly.
since the recru1escence Of Boer activity.
after long period Of stagnation, was
evidently the result Of Preconcerted ac-
linn among the commandoes.
