LOOKS MUCH LIKE A PUT.UP JOB
THEIR BRITISH COMMANDER
THINKS SURRENDER WAS PRE-
ARRANGED.
LORD KITCHENER IS OPTIMISTIC
IN THE FACE OF REPORTS OF AD-
OPTIONAL LOSSES TO THE
BRITISH.

London, Nov. ia special telegram
to the Daily News from Middleburg,
Cape Colony, says that $50 district
mounted troops, composed largely of
Dutchmen, with their arms and horses,
surrendered to SHUTS commando Oct.
10. The district troops fired most of
their ammunition at long range and
then refused to fight further. Capt.
Thornton, their commander, believes
their surrender to have been prear-
ranged.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated yesterday. from Pretoria, says
that n strong patrol of yeomanry while
accommodating Nov. at Brakspruit,
near Zeerust lin the Transvaal Colony
about 140 miles west of Pretoria), was
surrounded by 300 Beers and lost six
men killed and sixteen wounded. Some
of the troopers were captured, but
were subsequently released. The rear
guard of Col. Byng's
Column Was Attacked
near Hebron, Orange River Colony,
Nov. IA, by 400 Beers, said to be under
the command of Gen. Dewet. After
two hours fighting the Beers retired,
leaving eight dead on the field. OF Col.
Byngs column, Lieut.. Hughes and one
man We're killed, while three officers
and nine men were wounded.
Two of Lord Kitcheners monthly
reviews, dated Aug. and Sept. 8, were
published in the Gazette last evening.
They are chiefly summaries of wide,
sweeping movements through all parts
OF the disputed territories, with the re-
suits, casualties and prisoners cap
tured, as previously reported. An as
tonishing number of horses were cap
tured, those in August alone number
ing 1850. About 20 per cent of these
were fit for remounts, and the others
are brood mares and foals.
Though admitting the disappointing
results Of some of the operations, Lord
Kitchener comments on them as fol-
lows: "As long as this.
Rate of Progress
can be maintained, there can be little
double of it's ultimate effect, even on an
enemy to whom no other form Of agree
ment seems to appeal
\ The report further says that the sys-
tenn of chains of blockhouses at inter-
walls Of a mile and sometimes less along
the railroads was being extended. Be
side extending the lines these block
houses hamper communication between
different portions of the Boer forces
and act as barriers against which to
drive the enemy. Lord Kitchener
says:
"The influence of the Boer leaders
and their organized system of intimi-
dation still keep in the field a large
number of burghers, who, if left to
themselves. would be ready to sur
render.'

Child Training in Germany.

In the German cities it is refreshing
to find, scattered through each park,
many good-sized beds of clean sand.
These beds are confined by wooden
border, to prevent the sand being scat
tered or washed away by rains. NO
matter how small the park, or in what
quarter of the city it is situated, one is
sure to find at least four or five Of
these small spots of delight for the
children, and from early morn until
