Ssdltlon.Makers Revealed.

London, Oct. THE correspond
ent of the Times at Pretoria says the
treason trials have revealed the pres
ence of sedition- makers, who have
not only taken the oath of allegiance
to the British crown, but, in many
cases, have been receiving relief from
British authorities. In spite of this
they communicated freely with their
friends in the commandos in the field,
feeling confident that they would be
treated leniently if caught, There
is no doubt that 10 of the men could

BRITISH WAR OFFICE
Closely RsvIsss Reports from South Africa
-Kskewieh Was Surprised.

New York, Oct. 7.-Discussing the
military situation in South Africa,
the London correspondent Of the
Tribune says:
Colonel Kekewich's force was sur
prised by Commandant Delarey, as
was suspected by military men when
the earliest bulletins bearing the
marks Of close revision by the war
Office were published. While this
engagement supplies fresh proof that
scouting is either lost art or else in
effectual against the stealthy approach
OF mobile and crafty foes like the
Beers, the veterans are satisfied with
the fine fighting form displayed by
Colonel Kekewich's command. They
assert that the British army had
grown stale while only half employed
in watching railways and moving
across stretches OF empty country,
whore Beers eluded pursuit and would
not stand, but it is again on its mettle
when there is real fighting.
Colonel Kekewich is regarded by
South Africans as a vigiIant officer,
with a narrow mind and lack of
fiexibility While he defended Kim
berly successfully it was Cecil Rhodes
who recruited the volunteer force Of
Colonials and impaired courage to
the people of the town. Colonel
Kekewich did not get on well with
Mr.. Rhodes, who was the real defend
er OF Kimberly. There is a story that
when General French entered Kim
berly, Colonel Kekewich asked him
to put Rhodes under arrest, but was
laughed at. He has been one OF Lord
Kitchener's trusted lieutenants as
an experienced officer, who thorough
ly understands Boer tactics"
