A news agency despatch from Pre. toria says that Mr. Steyn, nominally the president of the ange Free State, is suffering from a disease of the eves, which threatens to produce a total blindness. The news is said to be authentic, and the affliction is not of recent development, but has become more promounged. The charges made against the bon duct of Britieh troops in South Af rica, attributed to Gen. Delarey, have not been brought up. It is probable that any action will be ignored un- less & question on the A ws is ask- ed in the house of commons. Even in this event it is not probable that any action will be taken unless a respon: sible authority formulates charges in a more definite and more dirdet form. It is pointed out that if Gen. Delarey had wished to make such allegations he had ample opportunity to com- municate them to lord Kitchener, who it is jelieved at the war office, would have notified the home government of the fact, which he has nét done. 1.
