supposed 20 have secured all the Boer ar
tillery. amounting 90 - guns exclusive OF
the two captured by Gen. DE Wet at Zee

hauls made during the earlier part OF the
war During the last year a total of o.
$50 horses were captured, while Of other
stock, such as cattle. oxen and sheep,
366.S2l head were captured.
