wounded, 146 taken prisoners and sur
rendered. with 200 rifles, $500 rounds of
ammunition, 2,4OO horses, $500 cattle
and 400 wagons and carts. besides mules
and trek oxen.
"Methuen has arrived at Warrenton
from klerksdorp, bringing in prisoners
and cattle.
The weather is wet, delaying the
movements Of the columns"
dispatch from Pretoria noting Gem
eral DeWets arrival at Senekal, Orange
River Colony, says that though he has
only a small following, Dewet is near
ing district where he is likely to re-
ceive considerable reinforcements and
probably intends TO pick up rowing bands
OF republicans who are ever present in
the Dornberg and Korannaberg dis
tricts.
General French, the dispatch adds, has

Pletrief district, but is now able to move
again.
A dispatch from Cape Town reports
that Scheepers and Milan's commanders
have turned southwark and are now
within forty miles of Willowmore and

DOUBTS are beginning Ia loom IN
the American horizon as to the
entire wisdom or practicability of
Monroe doctrine, which our nation
has so long cherished No doubt
the principle it involves has Serv-
ed It's turu we'll in past times.
and in a modified form it may still
do service in future. 1t has un-
douhtedIy caused European nations
to bold alOOf from South America,
and even aided in fastening the
withdrawal of French support
from the empire in Mexico in '67.
1t is not probable, however, that
in this day, when civilized people
are coming more and more to alb
hor the legalized murder, the
tremendous sacrifice of human and
animal life, as we'll as the deStruc-
ton of property, and financial ex-
penditure, involved in war, that
the American people would sane
ton the idea of going to war on
account Of the Monroe doctrine.
Surprising some irresponsible, re-
evolutionary! government among the
South American republics give Of
Tense to some European nation,
and refuse to make amends, the
necessity of force by the offended
nation cannot be denied, and it
would not seem that this nation
could justly interfere further than
by peaceful endeavOr to have both
parties resort to arbitration. Sure
.ly the people of the United States
could not afford to plunge into war
for such cause\
