commissary officer at headquarters to con-
suit with the commissary officer at Fort
Crook. Under ordinary circumstances he
would have called that oficer up by tele-
phone and asked i'm to come up for an
hour or two, but upon this occasion 1t was
necessary to have an order issued instruct
ing the post commissary to report to head
quarters; otherwise he could not have left
the post.
WHY the Instruction IL Needed.
Said an %oficer, speaking Of the work:
when the number of regiments was in
creased II was necessary to bring into the
service a large number of officers who had
not had the advantage of instruction at a
military school. Many Of them had expert
ence in the volunteer regiments and could
handle troops in active work in a fairly sat-
isfactory manner. They had learned the
routine of their duty, but had little knowl-
edge Of the theory under which they were
working. Young officers from West Point
were promoted to command companies be-
fore they had served as many months as
lieutenant as some Of their predecessors
had served years. This raw material, put
into the army, had a bad effect, In that the
officers could not fully understand their
duty under all conditions, and this instruc>
tion is to take the place Of the drill they
would have received had they served the
usual time in lower grades. AS an effec-
tive fighting force the officers are good,
but as theorists they are far from what
they should be, but when these schools have
| completed their work they will be as strong
in theory as they are in practice, and will
be as fine a body of soldiers as could be
brought together in any country"

This annexation cannot be too strongly
England's part. 1t was in fragrant contra
diction with the Sand River convention of
1852, by which England solemnly under
took to acknowledge the unrestricted indie
pe~ndence of the South African Republic and
never to encroach upon the districts north
of the Wall. But as soon as II suited her
convenience, perfdious Albion broke her
solemn peaceful promise, as she always has
done, and as she will always continue to do
when 1t serves her purpose. What misery
has come upon South Africa through this
breach OF treaty! The late war, which has
reduced the whole country to ruins-quite
apart from costing hundreds of men and
thousands OF innocent women and children
their lives-this war, in which England has
behaved in so uncivillzed and base a fashion
as to draw down upon herself the contempt
of all civilized nations, had it's origin partly
in Shepstone's annexation. l say partly,
for the war had two causes. The first and
principal cause was the wealth Of the gold
fields Of the republic; the second, revenge
for Majuba HILL" But IL it had not been
for Shepstone's annexation there would
have been no Majuba Hill, and no revenge
for Majuba Hill' would have been called
for.

Nolksraad the proposed constitution was at
last accepted and before the Raad broke
up was elected vice president. The
people, however, as the highest authority,
rejected the new constitution.
The volksraad did not break up in a very
happy mood. Most of the members feared
that the thread by which the sword Of
Damocles was suspended over the republic
would break and end its independence. AL
though there we're several who hoped that
the many new measures which the Volks-
raad had passed in its extraordinary ses-
sion might avert the danger, 1t soon became
evident tina the pessimists we're right.
Shepstone seemed to be only waiting for the
arrival Of the high commissioner. Sir Bartle
Frere, before proceeding to the annexation
Of the South African Republic. Frere ar
rived In Capetown at the beginning Of April.
1877, and as early as April I Shepstone had
an interview with the executive Rad, In
which he openly declared that he had been
authorized and was prepared to annex the
country on behalf Of the British govern
ment. at once told him that l would
never give my consent to any such step, as
l was bound by my oath to uphold the in
dependence OF the republic. l must submit
IL the volksraad agreed to the annexation
and thus absolved me from my oath, but
not otherwise. Shepstone thereupon asked
me how long 1t would take to call the
Volksraad together. 1 told him that 1
thought 1t would not take long II the presi-
dent issued the summons at once. But here
President Burgers interviewed, saying that
1t would not do to try Shepstone's patience
too far, and so the plan fell through.
Burgers proposed instead that we should
at once draw up a protest against the an
nexation whilst the government OF the re-
public still existed, and appoint a commits
sion to take the protest to England. This
was done, but Burgers had never expected 1t
to succeed, nor was he a member of the
commission. In the meanwhile. on the 18th
day of April, 1877, Shepstone executed his
plan and annexed the republic.
