It was known that some thing decisive had taken place and it was felt that hbad the place fallen the Boers would have sonn made it known. Not till Friday bhowever was uncertainty allayed and ihis was done by a Pretoria despatch stuting that after bombarding the place the invyesting force retired, and a British force entered. Up till toâ€"day, Monday, no direct British word has yet been received, but no anxiety lessened the jubilation. Lindley, the 8rd Free State Capital has been occupied. Gen Hutton with the Canadians bas captured a general, numed Botha, but not Joubert‘s sucâ€" cessor it is thought. Methuen captured Gene. Duprey and Eaniels, Buller has cleared Natal of the Boers and now ocâ€" cupies Newcastle. Laing‘s Nek tunnel has been destroyed. Brabant and Rundle are clearing out the eastern part of the Free State, while Roberts on the Main line is somewhat in the dark but 1s not idle no doubt.

But for his braving the best of them, Kimberly might haye fallen, but for his wariness the wily Boer would, being 8 to 1, have outreached hbim, tut for is bhumor, the empire in the dark days she passed through, would have been more despondent still. Had it fallen the result of the war would not haye been affected and they would still have been worthy of honor. But, baving sayed the town and kept the fag fiying they have set the empire rejorcing, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Jamaiâ€" ca and every small bit of British terriâ€" tory yiemg with tho big colonies and with Britain berself to do honor to the heroes. _ Who cares a continental if, as is reported " Continental cities are depressed by‘the news."

Here is a new name to charm with another of the men who won distinetion with Kitchener at Khartoum. â€" He was the leader of the mysterious force which Dobs kept completely in the dark though the Boers had wind of it. Col. Badenâ€"Powell has been promotâ€" ed to the rank of Major General and is now only second in popularity to Robâ€" erts himself, if indeed he is that. Peace rumors are now contradicted. A report from Badenâ€"Powell, May 18 gives particulars of his last and most famous blow. It will never be forgotten, a garrison living on a pound of horse flesh and a quart of soup a day ! A storming party of 250 Boers were allowâ€" ed t3 opproach: just so far. Then "our western posts closed ‘n and stoppen the Boers supports following this cutting off Eloff‘s retreat, while the town deâ€" fences stopped his further advance."
