London cable: The military expert of the Times in his editorial summary of the Transvaal this morning draws the following deductions: " The reports which continue to be received in reference to the fighting near Ladysmith on Thursday and Fri- day are somewhat conflicting, but as regards Brocklehurst's action on the 2 fetcuarctritzirurg road, a despatch re- ceived from a correspondent of the Times with Gen.

A BRILLIANT VICTORY. The "orryspondent of the Daily New:, at listvourt. telegraphinz under date of Nov. 5th. claims there is gum! authority tor stating that the Brit- bclt have ruined a brilliant. victory. The 1vh'wlitli'lllirlt adds: "The reports are shngularly 31mm!- mous in placing the Boer loss at. l.- 009 killed and wounded and 2.000 prisoners." Home wholecome salt is supplied to this story by a letter which Mr. J. H. Robinson. Chairman of the Robinson South African Banking Co., uddmsses to tho Daily News, gravely warning; the public against accepting state- ments made by natives. He relates his own experiences with natives of South Africa from hie childhood. and says he is convinced that these people are now making wild rtutmnontn which are probably only paving: the way to an unpleasant reaction later on. Mr. Rohixrun Hays: "Tho South African native is ox- l'POd'f'llg‘ly running. and in times of (IX- vitement like the Irririent ho knows exactly what the white man wants. and that he 3-: master of elm situa- Linn. For a piece of tobacco Ito will trump up an ext-lung story: tor a milling he will lay it on thiekly. I'm afraid the native; are 'doing' the Por respondents." Mr. Robinson pillories the succes- sive wild reports of Boer losses. Ho shows that if these nrwarts were true, elm Boer losses in killed and wounded up to the present .time would be about 8,000. GERMANS FIGHT WITH BRITISH A despatch trom Durban says Ger. mans are being enrolled in the Umvuti Mounted Wtiles, a Natal vol. unteer torco.
