BOER RAIDERS CRUSHED. The Enemy Defeated by a British Force From the North. 3A des'patch from London says:â€"'f{16 War Office publishes the followmg' despatch from General Kelly-Kenny “Bloemfontein, June 12,â€"0ur troops from‘ the north are at Honing sprun, south of. Roodeval, where the”Boets cut the British lines of communicaâ€" tion, having defeated the enemy. They will by at America siding toâ€"mddrow' at: 8 a.m. “Gen. Knox moves out from Kroon- stad to intercept the enemy. "Fuller particulars later: A comparison 0! General Kelly- Kenny's despatch with the maps avaxl- able shows, apparently, that. the Brit- xsh line of communications cut by the Boers has been restored by the move- ment of troops from the north to- wards Honing spruit, to reach which place they would have to pass through PLAINS OF ABRAHAM." Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared, in an- swer to Mr. Marcotte, that he was not aware that the battle between Wolfe and Montcalm was not fought on that part of the Plains of Abra- ham which the Government has an- nounced its readiness to purchase. On the contrary, tradition said the bat- tle was fought on that spot. REGIMENTAL BANDS. Mr. Clarke asked: Has the commanding officer of a militia regiment the authority under: the Militia Act to order out the mem-‘ bers of the regimental band to play music at any other than military function? 2.1£ so ordered out does the department hold that the mem- bers of such regimental hands are compelled to obey such orders? 3. In filling other than military engage- meme. by what authority are mem- bers of regimental bands permitted to wear their military uniforms? 4. Has the Minister} of Militia received any correspondence as to the matter referred to in the above question ? If an, from whom, and what answers ha Ve been given ’4' DUMINIUN PRRUQMENH Dr. Borden replied :-â€"1. Not unless. the members of the regimental band are at the time subject to military' law. res specified in paragraph 83 of the Militia Act. 2. Yes, if at the time; they were ordered out, the members of such regimental band were sub- ject to military law. 3. There is no authority for ,thrir wea ring: then) up- less they are at the time subject to military law. 4. A petition and a few letters from the Toronto Musical Pro- tef‘tiVe Association re interpretation of the Militia Act as regards members who belong to military bands were received in the department in the months of April and May. 1905). The reply was a quotation of paragraph 57 of the Militia Act. SALT REGULATiONS. The bill to amend the Weights and Measures Act was put through com- mittee after the adoption of the clause requiring bulls of binder twine to bear a. tug stating the weight gund length.

PRINTING OF VOTERS LISTS. Dr. Montague wanted to know how‘ the priming of the voters’ lists was getting along. The session and the year were both passing. and there was a rumor that the lists might soon be needed.

Where the returning officer was: non- .i'esidem he suggested they Should be glared in the cure of the Postmaster.

The clauses respecxi‘xg the sealing of bahut papers and ballot boxes after the count were discussed with great minuteness.

A despatch from London, Thursday says :â€"'i‘he despatch from Lord Roberts clearing up the situation at Pretoria and along the communica- tions stands alone. Military observ- ers, noting that no mention is made of prisoners, assume that Gen. De Wet got away with his forces practically intact. General Buller entered Volksrust \Vednesday, phssed through Charles- ton,- and encamped near Leing’s nek. The tunnel was not: much damaged. Both ends‘ were blown up, but the en- gineers think that repairs can be ef- fected in about [our days. The ad- vance troops of General Buller saw the Boer rear-guard four miles dis- tant yesterday. It was estimated that 8,000 Boers were withdrawing. The townspeople at Ermelo counted 15 guns. U Three hundred Free Staters released f rom guarding Van Reenen’s puss have gone to join President; Steyn’s com- mando in the Eastern part of Orange River Colony. Gen.

A SERIOUS REVERSE. Col. Carter’s Column Suffers Heavy Losses in a Battle With tne Ashantis. A despatch from Accra, Gold Coast, suys:-â€"Details have been received here of another serious reverse to the re- iief column under 001. Carter and Major Wilkinson, a. day’s march north of Pruhu. There were heavy‘casualties. The latest. rumors report a further disaster to a detachment on the north bank of the Prahu, which is now flood- ed, and where the Ashantis were found strongly entrenched. Captain Willa-ocks‘ advance has been delayed by rains, which have destroyâ€" ed the bridges in the Prahu road. The continued absence of news from Kumussie tends to confirm the pessi- mistic views as to the safety of the Governor and his stuff. The coast towns are appre-henSive of their own safety. The British gunboat Magpie, station- ed at Accra, is the sole Lrutection for the coast. Owing to the difficulty encountered in procuring carriers, the enter-cement otu labour ordinance is threatened. but such, nstepis considered unndvxs- able in view of 1115 present temper of the inhabitants and the unprotected condition of the colony. The general Opinion is that the present force is inadequate to cope with the situation, and the local Governmcm apparently .fails to recognize its gravity. BA‘JAGES AMOHE CANADIANS.

The onty fulâ€" ther casualties reported to date are two officers wounded.” In the afternoon of the same day Lord Roberts cables :â€" “ The enemy evacuated their strong position during the night, and have retired to the eastward. " Buller’s force and mine have af- forded each other mutual assistance. Our occupation of Pretoria caused numbers of Boers to withdraw from Laing’s nek‘ and Ballet’s advance to Voiksrust made them feel their rear would shortly be endangered.” BULLER AWAITS SUPPLIES.
