an understanding with President
Steyn Of the Orange Free State by
which they became allies to resist the
British encroachments to the extremity
of war.
1t soon developed that conflict with
Great Britain bad long been foreseen
by the Boer governments. In an in
credibly short time they had placed
armies in the field composed Of trained
sharpshooters armed with the best of
modern rifles, while their artillery was
of the most effective and handled with
a skill that left no room to doubt that
the men behind the guns thoroughly
understood their business.
The Boer plan Of campaign original
~ was to advance rapidly with large
force of mounted troops into Cape Col
ony and Natal and sweep the British
into the sea. In the light of subse-
quent events it is clear that during
the first three months Of the war this
was practicable, since there were then
few British in Cape Colony and the
majority of the colonists were ready
to rise. But the possibility of captur-
ing Rhodes in Kimberley, Baden-Pow-
ell in Mafeking and General Whites
force near Ladysmith diverted their
energies till the arrival of large British
forces made the plan appear imprac-
ticable
Pen British in Ladysmith.
The British plan at the outset was
mainly defensive. General White. in
Natal, deemed it important to defend
Ladysmith and the stores accumulated
there, though it was not a good posi-
ton. General Symons was sent a few
miles north of that place, to Dundee
to oppose the Boer forces from the
north. So long as Ladysmith could
be held the invasion Of Natal was OBJ
,structed.
The first encounter was at Dundee
Oct. 20, when the British carried the
Boer position by frontal attack, hay
ing their commander, General Symons,
killed and losing 1926 men, including
296 taken prisoners. Next day at
Elandslaagte they had less equiyocal
success, but lost 223 killed and wound
ed. On Oct. "a there was a fight at
Riefontein, with a loss Of Ill, while
the force at Dundee was withdrawn by
a circuitous route. Soon after, Oct. 80.

GENERAL WHITE AND STAFF IN IADYSMITH

Mafeking was attacked and a siege
lasting 213 days was begun. In all
directions the Beers swarmed in small
parties, attacking detached squads of
the British wherever found and inflict-
ing serious loss in killed, wounded and
captured.
Garrisons Suffer for Food,
Meantime the garrisons at the be-
sieged towns were suffering extreme
hardships. The supply of provisions
was small, as no one had anticipated
the contingencies lat mad arisen. Both
citizens and soldiers were placed on
short rations. In Ladysmith particu-

Beers kept up desultory guerrilla war
fare attacking small parties of British
soldiers wherever found. General
Botha was nominally in chief COM
mand, but most Of the fighting was
done by General Christian De Wet and
General Delarey, both Of whom kept
the British forces in hot water most
Of the time. Time after time De Wet
was reported to be securely ehtrapped,
but he always managed to escape cap-
ture.
The most notable events of recent
date were the capture by the British
Of General Schoeppers, who was badly
wounded. He was tried by military
court on the charge Of violating the
laws Of war, found guilty and shot al
though he had to be carried from the
hospital tent to the place of execution.
March Z Of the present year General
Lord Methuen was defeated, wounded
and taken prisoner by General Delarey.
He was promptly released and given
safe-conduct to the British lines. In
return for this act of ciemency Gen.
eral Kritzinger, Boer commander.
was set at liberty by Lord Kitchener.
The Overtures for peace were made
by the British commanded early last
March. Some difficulty was expert
enced in reaching the Boer command
ers in the field, who were widely scat
tered. They were finally brought to-
gether and after a consultation last
ing several days it was decided to SUBJ
NIT the British proposition to the men
in arms and to abide by the decision
Of the plebiscite.

This was a fiat re-
