A LIVELY "SKIRMISH NEAR | PEARCZTON, CAPE COLONY. | Commandant Ovendaal And Field | Cornet Van Der Vall Among The Slain--The Latest Tidings From The Front. New York, March 13.---The following cable has been received bere from Kru or "Utrecht, March 12.--There will be more good news yet from Delarey. This victory of his reminds me of Gen, botha's allusion a year ago to the miracle faith which saved Daniel out of the lion's den. the ultimate triumph of the Boer cause could not be greater than it is mow, and, indeed, it never has been shaken. 1 hope England will show she sces her folly of attempting to subdue the Boer race by recognizing it now, and by restorin; independence to the Transvaal ah. By doing this she will spars herseli as well as the Boers further bloodshed, and expense, and will retain the repuilics as friend ly neighbors." Quite A Brush.

Dewet and ex-presi dent Steyn crossed the main railway two nights wreviously, five miles north of Wolvehook, going west. It is nssumed here that this means that Gen. Dewet is trying to join Gen. De- larev. Wolvehoek is about twe nty miles 'south of the Vaal river, and a force going westward from that place would go straight to Klerksdorp, and Gen. Delarey's gountry. But before Gen. Dewet can join the victorious commandoes, in the western Trans vaal, he must cross the Vaal river aml force another line of block-houses. telegram sent from Pretoria, Tuesday, reports that the British col- umns are in touch with Dewet and Stevn, and consequently renewed fighting may be expected. War Tips. Arrangements will be made for ra- pid mobilization of the tenth Zealand contingent for _ service South Africa if it is needed. The British authorities ~ have been notified that Canada will gladly ren- der further assistance in the war, if the Methuen disaster is taken to indi cate its need. The offer is widely quoted in Britain with expressions of warm appreciation. DISPERSED OR KILLED. Russian Troops And Tunguses Come To Blows.
