it B * \\( BV B DURKHAM REVIEW. Thursday, November 30, 1899. The plans of Joubert the Boer genâ€" eral in n&:elnng the relieving colurans in detail Seems a brilliant one if he is allowed to carry it out. The Natal Boer forces are doing & lot of raiding which seems to mdicate a scarcity of supplies. â€" Britain is exasperated at the way Natal is being overrun without a serious check, Cape Colony Loyalists of Dutch origin are being forced into Boer ranks, and the Dutch premier Scbreaier resents this strongly, Good for him. Fripay. After depressing news on Thursday of Boer advances in Natal, the isolation of Estcourt, and the threatening of Peitermaritzburg, there comes toâ€"day a very welcome report of A Grear Batrtus near Belmont in Cape Colony, won by Gen. Metbuen‘s forces, though at a loss 58 of killed, 150 wounded and 18 missâ€" ing. He has taken 40 prisoners and buried a number of Boers found dead on the field. This makes a total to date of follows : Killedâ€"officers 87, men 268 ; Woundâ€" edâ€"officers 98, men 901 ; Missing i. e. captured, officers and men 1269. News from Natal however is still serious. _ Between Pietermaritzburg and Ladysmith and imcluding the latter, are 4 British camps with Boers sandwiched in between. _ Both armies are thus scattered and there is a splenâ€" did opening for some general on either side to make a splendid coup, From Mafeking reports not reassurâ€" mg come. _ Water supply is failing, dysentery attacks becoming frequent, Boers continually she‘lling and persistâ€" ing in aiming at the hospital and women‘s laager, the only thing in plenty is food supply, ammunition and brave hearts, New Zealand troops have arrived, and the Canadians are expected by Tuesday, . 4 C Gen. CGatacre is pressing the Free Staters back from Cape Colony, and has ordered a ringleader of Cape Colony rebels to be tried for treason. Bullee keeps in the dark, and no surprise need be felt if some big coup is in view. Capetown is asking perâ€" mission to allow the Canadian Conâ€" tingent to parade the streets and be "recerved." Usually the train is beside the dock in waiting, and arrivals are off upâ€"country before the town can look around. More cavalry is the ory. Rising of the Dutch or the natives is the fear. Wait till the Canadians get there. Where do all the Boers come from ? Sarurpay, Confirmation comes of yesterday‘s great yictory. . The prisoners captured are a dirty ignorant lot and say the Boers thougkt all the armies of Europe would not dislodge them. _ Position after position was carried at the point of the bayonet. Three times the Boers resorted to the treacherous use of the white flag and two cfficers at least lost their liyes by trusting to the recognized immunity from danger implied. _ Kruger and Joubert will yet have to explain this barbarism. Some experts hbazard a guess that the seatiered position of the British in Natal, and their remaining on the deâ€" fensive is part of Buller‘s plan : Keepâ€" ing the cast busy while he operates in the west. | Gen, Methuen Has at least one more big fight before reaching Kimberiey. He is the first of British generals to publicly compliment his troups. Moxpay. Further news of a victorious adâ€" vance by Lord Methuen and another great battle at Gras Pan, where bayonet charges proved too much for the enemy. _ An enemy clever to a degree however, or they would not be able to pull themselves together so well and so soon after the defeat at Belmont two days betore. _ _ _ C. Ramage, The British bave reoccupied Nauwâ€" The naval brigade suffered heavily, . as did the Guards at Belmont. The Ninth Lancers were sent to intercept the retreat of the enemy, and have not returned, Ominous, More treachâ€" ery under the White Flag. {hller has arrived in Natal, and the Boers have abandoned positions taken last week. Estcourt is again in communication with Darban, and a torward movement is to be made at once to Colenso, where a fierce battle is expected. WAR NOTES.â€"Day by Day. reap the whirwind, (Gen. Hildyard has been doing good work in a battle at Beacon Hill, and is now at Frere, second station from Colenso, and fifth from Ladysmith.

Gen. Gatacre is preparing to take Stormberg. _ Guns and troops still arriying at Cape Town, but the Sarâ€" dinian, with the Canadians, is not yeLt reported. Canadian hearts will throb Xitg a new fervor when they take the eld. â€"Prin. Grant, in contrast to a chorâ€" us of detractors has given Hon. Mr. Tarte a very warm endorsation for his action in asking that the sending of a eontingent to Africa be not regardâ€" ed as a precedent untilt sanctioned by. Parliament. _He says ‘‘on the matter\ of princirle Mr. Tarte‘s position is imâ€" prequable" and thinks that ‘‘all interâ€" ested in Parlimentary government and Imperial federation should be grateâ€" ful to him." He adds ‘"‘There is anothâ€" er feature in his attitude worthy of notice. The one thing indispensable to theworking ot free institutions is that we should have men in public life who should have the courage of their convictions. It is the glory of Great Britain that there are such men in public life, and in that I hope we shall always resemble the mother country. It will be an ill day for a free people when independence of opinion and speech is not welcomed.‘, â€"‘Forward‘ is the dominant note of the poiicy of the Hon. G. W. Ross. Last Friday an order in Council was issued looking to the opening of neâ€" gotiations with the British Government for the purpose of securing to that government concessions of nickel ores in ungranted lands in New Ontario for the building of warships. This may be the means of starting gigantic industries here, greatly to Canada‘s interest, for it is certain our capable government will see to it that the labor of refining is done in the country of production. â€"The Chicago Tribune is sending out marked copies containing an articâ€" le severely condemning the Mail and Empire for alleged priracy of cableâ€" grams sent direct to the ‘Tribune.
