 Douglas, June 12.-General Joubert and Captain O'Donnell, of South Afr. ca, are in Douglas today. They were both officers in the Boer army in the late war with England. On Tuesday night these soldiers, whose names are familiar to every reader in this coun. try, will deliver a lecture in Douglas. They will use projected pictures to illustrate the lecture, which will deal with the cause of the war, it's battles, leaders and it's final settlement, which was so disastrous to the patriots.
 Many things. will be told the people of Douglas about the war which, be- cause of close press censorship, has not been published. The lecture win be very interesting to every one. The proceeds will go towards the fund which will be used to bring a colony of Boers to Mexico, where a large set tlement win be made by these people, who refuse to accept the ruel of their victors, the British.
 Prsonally these soldiers who are in our city are very courteous and very entertaining. They answer all ques tions which interested people may ask them They express the greatest ap prciation of the kindness which has been shown them by our people.
