of existing conditions over there:
1.-The war in South Africa is by no
means ended, and it is liable to con-
tinue tor a long time yet. OF course
it is guerrilla, rather than actual war
fare, but it is for this reason that the
Beers will be able to keep up tho
struggle and at least grately harass
the British, probably for some years.
