The bombardment of Mnfeking has com- mented, with unknown results. and the Boers have got the Hussnr pril- oners safely to Pretoria. Altogether the campaign is being rushed by the Boers so strenuously, and on such sound strategicnl lines, that the situation of the British must in alt probability' give them cause for I000 anxiety for some time to come.
