Senor IayGs gave Il revolutionary
tone to his remarks by asserting that
the present Cuban leaders should imi-
tate the martyrs of the past. He de
clared that the trick which the
Americans have been playing upon the
Cubars is the cause of the monde

independence could only be obtained
by the machottes of liberatorS.

meager, but the general trend is fa-
vOrable to British arms. Botha's main
force is still reported on the south
side of the Pongola river, below Piet
Ref. closely pressed by French's col
umnS. 1t Is not clear whether it Is
attempting to double back into Natal
or subdividing into bands of guer-
rillas and slipping back westward be-
tween the British columns. This Boer
force can hardly exceed 1000 and
while 1t has not been compelled to sur
render it has been terribly harassed
and reduced to extremities
Dewcts raid into Cape Colony has
been failure, and Hertzog, Fourle
and other guerrilas who have been
securing inaccessible districts south

ward into Griqualand to join him. 1t
seems probable that the Roers will
again escape by subdlviding into small
