BULLER'S ADVANGE I The Fighting on Monday. FULL DETAilS. i — MOODER RIVER. The Flanking Movem nt. Macdonald's Position. The Attack on Gatacre. 9.0 a.m. At present the news from the Tugela is some- what mystifying, and we hesitate to proclaim Buller's move a complete success until we receive further details. The Boer version, which was the first intimar tion that reached us last night of Buller's advance, was correct, but, aa we pointed out, it mentioned the result of one only of the two British attacks, and we were right in assuming that silence with regard to thp other could be construed into a favourable omen. This view has proved correct, and, though at the crossing at Pont Drift (feint or not), the British were repulsed, at Molen Drift, more to the right, we were successful, and, notwith- standing a determined Boer assault, have maintained our position. 10.30 a.m. A long telegram from the Central News cor- respondent at Spearman's Camp has just come through, and this gives a detailed account of the operations on Monday. From it we learn that the disposition of the British troops was made with great skill, and the Boers were completely drawn from the main advance by two movements, both of which were feints. The position won on the northern bank of the river by a brilliant bayonet charge has been held, and on Tuesday was being strengthened. 11 a.m. The Boers are attacking Gatacre's advanced posts, to whom reinforcements are being hur- ried up. At Modder River General Macdonald, with the Highland Brigade, maintains his position at Koodoosberg Drift, attained by a success- ful flanking movement. 11.30 a.m. The attack on Gataore's outposts bag been repulsed with slight 10s.. NO OFFICIAL NEWS. The Press Association telegraphs: —Farther news of General Buller's movements are await-ed with great interest. Nothing more had been issued by the War Office up to 10.50

L J BULLER'S ADVANCE. Monday's Engagement. [CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM.] SPEARMAN'S CAMp, Wednesday (7 p.m.). General uller commenced the disposition of his troops on. Saturday for the third attempt to relieve Ladysmith. At daybreak on ■ Monday operations com- menced, one brigade making a strong feint on the left, whilst two battalions of infantry covered the advance of the field artillery. Starting from near Potgeiter's Drift, and moving towards the Boer centre, this force skirmished steadily on towards the enemy's main position, drawing a heavy Are upon them. Then the main attacking force was thrown forward They were admirably covered by the Naval guns, and a mountain battery, placed on Zwartz Kop, and the advance was marked by the utmost steadiness. A pontoon was thrown across the river by the Engineers in smart time, directly under Zwartz Kop, despite the enemy's fUr, and our men then poured over. They nftarched in open formation immediately, and advanced against Vaal Krantz, where the enemy was strongly posted. All our heavy guns were directed against this spot, but the enemy still seemed mainly occupied by the feint on the left, and gave most of their attention in that direction. A frontal attack was ordered aM a feint, still further drawing the Boer attention from the real object. This was splendidly executed, the entire Boer fire being drawn from the enemy's Bat- teries on Vaal Krantz. The field batteries operating here became too eager, advancing rapidly, despite the hea,vy flank flre from Creusot guns. The gunners apparently cared for nothing, but to get at the enemy. Their position was seen by the general, and the battery was ordered to retire and take up a position under Vaal Kraatz, where it joined in the heavy cannonade upon that position. Indeed, nothing could restrain the dash of our men. Two battalions of infantry at the front had the first line of the enemy's position, but they were subjected to such a murderous fire, Nor- denfeldtp, Maxims, and Mausers spouting a storm of ballets that they were compelled to fall back to cover. Then a. heavier fire was poured in upon the Boera, and, nothing d&unted by their first failure, the men went on again, and, with the Rifle Brigade, Anally carried Vaal Krantz with a magnificent rush at the point of the bayonet. The afternoon was then drawing to a close, and the infantry gave all their attention to making their position secure, and this work L: ft. II further proceeded with yeeterday. The naval sons were IØiD bùt du yesterday, and, by the greatest good luck, one of our shells found the Boer magazine. It blew up with terrific force, the entire ground being Shaken. The Boers have mounted a Creusot gun high up in a mountain to the south-east of Vaal Krantz. They are directing their shells upon Zwartx Kop. A second pontoon bridge has been thrown across the Tugela at the foot of Vaal Kra.ntz. During our fire yesterday one of the Boer guns was effectually silenced. Our infantry have to-day still further advanced along the ridge, returning the Boer fire shot for shot. The field guns have been pushed forward, and are doing grand work. There is no idea. of the enemy's losses, but I their ambulances are taking wounded con- stantly to the rear. So far aU has gone well.

[CENTRAL XEWS TELEGRAM.] CAPE TOWN. Wednesday (10.10 a.m.). The ever recurring fondness of President Kruger for quoting Scripture in order to revive the spirits of the burghers at the font is again instanced. The President's latest effort in this direction is a communication to his officers and burghers in which he refers them to Psalm xxm., from the seventh verse to the end. Kruger also declares that the British troops have fixed their faith on Psalm LUL, and further parades his knowledge of Holy writ by recommending the burghers to study the thirteenth and fourteenth verses of Pialm IJi The Position. Sir Redvers Buller on Monday (says Mr. Spencer Wilkinson in the "Morning Post") began his third attempt to relieve Ladysmith. Apparently the operation began by a demon- stration of Lyttelton's Brigade, which seems to be still holding its ground north of Pot- gieter's Drift. Here there was a heavy bom- bardment of the Boer position, and one tele- gram says that six batteries were in action. If the fire of 36 guns was concentrated on one objective at a. time its effect would be destructive, and this massing of artillery is a hopeful sign. Then the river was crossed above or below the drift, which Lyttelton's Brigade holds. The telegrams vary in their stories, one saying the main attack was on our right, which suggests Skiet's Drift, and another say- ing on the Boer right, which suggests a cross- ing above Potgieter's. The main attack made its way to a point on the Brahfontein range or its continuation, and repulsed a Boer counter attack. Brakfontein is the name of the hill or hills in front of Lyttelton's Brigade, so that the main attack is made in close conneotion with Lyttelton's Brigade. Part of that brigade helped, in the attack on Spion Kop, which is about five miles west of Brakfontein. It is idle in the absence of local knowledge and of a detailed account to guess which is the site of the new attack. If the crossing is east of Potgieter's Drift, as seems the more probable interpretation of the telegrams, the distance from Wagon Hill be- fore Ladysmith is only nine or ten miles, and the country more open than on any other route. If it is to the west of the ford held by General Lyttelton the distance to Ladysmith will be half as far again. In either case Sir Redvers Buller's troops will have to break the enemy's resistance by hard fighting, for the necessity of orossing the river and the delay which that involves must make it difficult to gain the start needed to turn an enemy's flank. The best preparation for an infantry advance is such a heavy artillery fire as is produced by the concentrated fire of many guas. FRENCH COMMENTS. [IiALZIEL'S TELBGSAM.J PARIS, Thursday. Most of the papers on the strength of the Boer telegrams exult in the reported failure of General Buller's third attempt to cross the Tugela and relieve Ladysmith. The others, on the other hand, point out that the British at last appear to have formulated a definite plan of campaign, which threatens to make matters very serious for the Boers. This, how- ever, is not the view taken by the "Matin," which states that Buller has given over every idea of tactics, and is now throwing his men and guns about like a madman, and against impregnable positions defended by men in- domitable and calm. Seeing that every effort to raise the Eighth Division in Great Britain has failed, the British generals have resolved to make a last supreme attempt with the forces on the spot. After all, come what may, the British Army will, at leaet, succumb heroically. The Amsterdam correspondent of the "Eclair" learns on most trustworthy authority that the number of Cape Afrikanders now with the Boers totals 20,000. The "Figaro" says:—The Volunteers sent oat to the Transvaal by the Young Frenchmen's Committee are greatly disgusted at having to fight in the German Corps, and under the sole command of German omoers. The "Figaro" also remarks that, after the Government's victory in the House of Commons, as well as the overwhelming victory for the Government candidate at York, Continental nations must learn to realise that Great Britain intends to see this war through to the end, whatever that end may be.

Ladysmith. The Attempt to Flood the Town. 1,300 Natives Engaged [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] DURBAN, Wednesday. The Sick and wounded oontinue to arrive here from Pietermaritzburg. Many are serious cases, and thftse have been placed on board the hospital ship Maine. A Scandinavian, who has arrived here from the Transvaal, reports that the Boers have sent large quantities of timber and sand bags to the front in Natal for the purpose of damming the Klip River and flooding Lady- smith. Thirteen hundred natives are engaged in the work, but the scheme is regarded as imprac- .tic&blt, J

Gatacre. Fighting Proceeding. HURRYING UP R KIN FORCE MEATS [CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM.] STERK.8TROQM, Wednesday (8.30 a.m.). The Boer attack upon our advanced posi- tions commenced early this morning. The positions attacked are our eastern out- posts, Penhoek (which is a.bout seventeen miles from headquarters), and the Bird's River Siding (which is 34 miles away from Penhoek), and is garrisoned by six companies of the Royal Scots, and a. force of Colonial Mounted Infantry, with a battery of artillery. This force has been attacked by about 500 of the enemy, with one gun. Bird's River Siding is held by a force of Cape Mounted Rifles and two campanies of Royal Scots, with a number of mounted Rifles and a battery of artillery. The Boers attacking Bird's River are shell- ing our position vigorously. Our positions are being well maintained. Reinforcements are being hurried from head- quarters to the scene of the fighting. The Attack Repulsed. An Exchange telegram says'The Boer attack on Bird's River was feeble. The enemy decamped on the arrival of rein- forcements. Our casualties were slight. BOERS PURSUED BY CAVALRY. [CENTRAL XEWO TELEGRAM.] BIRD'S RIVER. Wednesday Night. The Boer attack on Penhock was a. feint. They delived their main blow here. They shelled our position with three guns, but General Gatacre, with reinforcements, came up, and they hastily retreated. Our mounted infantry and cavalry are pur- suing them. The British losses were slight.

Modder River. GENERAL XACDONALD S FLAYK MOVEMENT. [PItESS ASSOCIATION WAB SPECUL.1 MODDER RIVER, Wednesday. General Macdonald's movement has evidently disconcerted the enemy, at the nine time that it has safeguarded the operations of the posi- tions of the Belmont garrison in the direction of Douglas, where there are still a few rebels. Sniping at the pickets of General Macdonald's force goes on daily, but thecUDalties up to the present only number two. The 9th Lancers have made several attempts to draw tho enemy from their position, but without success. W, hold the highest portion of the kopje. The Boers occupy the lower sfopes. Unfortunately, owing to the steepness of the southern slope it is impossible for General Mac- donald t omount his artillery guns on the sum- mit of the hill. [&ECTERS TELEGRAM ] MODDER RIVER, Wednesday. General Hector Macdonald, with the Highland Brigade, maintains his position at Xoodoos- berg Drift. HAS MACDONALD REACHED KIMBERLEY? The usual shelling of outposts it; proceeding. Mr. Charles Williams, in the "Morning Leader," says:—"Fighting Mac" has been only a few days on the Modder River in charge of the Highland Brigade, when, with a regi- ment of covalry and a field battery, he got permission to at least exercise his men by a move to the West. There, in the bifurcation of the road leading from Kimberley to Hope- town and Douglas he found two Boer cof- roandos, and at once proceeded to entrench himself on the Riet River—for Riet and not Modder is the name of the stream W. of the confluence—making sure of his communica- tion with the south bank. There the enemy may come out and attack if they will. Thence he can send out a flying column to entice them on. If he can concert with Keke- wich at mberley a simultaneous attack, he may actually join hands with Kimberley and get provisions in or Mr. Cecil Rhodes out, if considered desirable. But until command of the line is secured a true relief of Kimberley will not be possfblfe, inasmuch as the non- combatants, the women, and the children can only be brought out by the steel road. And it would do no great amount of good for Macdonald to get into Kimberley for the mere purpose of getting out again unless he could get some heavy guns and ammunition in to bring a heavy flre to bear on the Boer posi- tion at Spytfontein, and 80 in a sense turn the Magersfontein position, getting the enemy in the twin groups of hills between two fires.

Paris, Ttou ay.—The "Eclair" publishes a letter from its correspondent in Holland, de- scribing Dutch feeling in regard to the war in South Africa. Public opinion, say. the writer, ia. of course, Unfavourable to Great Britain. The Government maintains a wise reserve, but only through fear of British repriaale. I am informed, however, that the Netherlands Government is. of aJl the European Govern- ments, the one which least strictly observes neutrality. A Dutchman of high position, who has direct relations with the Triansvaal. re- marked to in the coarte ol au. interview: In my opinion. the result of the war will be the crushing defeat of Great Britain. Every- thing is in favour of the Boere. The country is essentially suited to their tactics; they are intrepid hunters, and more than 30,000 Dutch of Cape Colony have joined their brethren of the Transvaal and Orange Free State. They are well armed and ftll jtrovisioned, and still have a formidable supply of ammunition, re- presenting thrice the amount expended by the German Army in 1870. The Transvaal and Free State railways are in excellent working order. The relief of Ladysmith would be of no great importance, for the Boers would retire to im- pregnable positions. The "Petit Caponal," commenting on the debates at Westminster, says:—In supporting the Government, as it has done, the British Parliament has given France a valuable les- son. Happy the Monarchies where political passions refuse to profit by the country's sor. row, and where the mistakes of politicians do not endanger the popularity or stability of the Constitution. The "Echo de Paris/' in an article to-day, declares that the Egyptian question is now open, and that in every way the political role played by "Great Britain" in the destinies of the country should now come to an end.

POLICE-COURT PRO- CEEDINGS. Harold Charles Phillips, a young man only twenty years of age, found himself standing in the prisoner's dock of the Cardiff Police-court on Thursday morning on the serious charge of stealing one £5, £2 10s. in gold, £1 4s. 6d. in silver, a penny, a. gold watch, an oxidized watch, a gold chain, a silver napkin ring, two gold bangles, one silver bangle, three gold brooches, one silver brook, one scarf pin, one gold stud, one gold ring, one pencil caee. two shell necklaces, one perfume spray, and two purses, valued altogether at £34 4s. 7d. These articles were alleged to have been stolen from the bedroom of Miss Jolly, manageress of the Queen's Hotel, between 10.30 p.m. on February 6 and 1..30 a.m. on February 7. On the Bench were Councillor Jenkins, Mr. T. H. Stephens, and Alderman Trounce. Mr. Joseph Henry Jones appeared for the prosecu- tion. and Mr. Morgan Rees defended. Mr. Jossph Henry Jones, in opening the case, gave a detailed account of the manner in which the alleged robbery had been perpe- trated. He said that prisoner came to the hotel with another man on Tuesday night, and asked for rooms. Having no luggage they made the necessary deposit, and sat in the smoke-room until after midnight. Then, they were taken to their rooms, and, so far as could be seen, they got there safely. Miss Jolly, the manageress, went to her bedroom about 12.30, and found that all the articles of furniture in which these stolen goods were placed, had been ransacked, and the goods had disappeared. Miss Jolly was in a state of great excitement, and heard someone outside her door. She was so frightened that she was practically imprisoned by her fear. and did not move oat of her bed that night. Early next morning information was given to the poUce, of Detective-inspector Gretton, going to the prisoner's bedroom, told him that a robbery had taken place, and that he (the officer) was going to search his room. The result of the search was that most of the missing articles of jewellery were found in the prisoner's pockets. Gretton then charged him with steal- ing the goods, and all that prisoner said was, "I don't know what made me do it; I was drunk.* This statement was borne out by Miss Jolly and Boots Thomas, the latter having received the two men into the hotel. Both appeared to be sober, and. in asking for accommoda- tion. they said that they had lost the train. Mm Lottie Perry, a barmaid at the Queen's. was next called to continue the history. She was engaged that evening at the smoke-room bar, and saw the young man there. She left .him there when she closed the bar. having served him with two drinks. Te was sober, and laughing and talking with the others when she adjourned for the night. Detective Gretton stated that he went to the Queen's Hotel at half^pasrt seven in the morn- ing, and examined the bedroom of the manageress, and found the clothes-box and the chest of drawers had been opened. Later Mi* Jolly handed him a bram double lever padlock, which locked the box. and which had apparently been -opened by a. dupli- cate key and strained in the opening. The box appeared to have been ransacked. A handkerchief box shown him had been forced. He went to the prisoner's bedroom, and telling him a, robbery had been committed, searched the room. In one of the drawers of the dree- ing table he found the gooold watch, brooch, and ring. He aent for Miss Jolly; she came to the door, and identified the things as hers in hi> presence. After this he told the prisoner that as these articles had been found in his room he must come along under arrest, on a charge of steal- ing them. He made no reply then. On being asked to turn out what he had in his pockets he eaid, "I do not know what made me do it; I was drunk." Then he handed witness, from his jacket and vest which lay on the chair, the JE5 note. the money and Jubilee coins, the oxi- dised watch, the gold chain, napkin ring. the brooches (two gold and one silver), the scarf- pin. stud ring, pencil case, necklace, and two purses. The perfume spray witness found be- tween the bed and th mattress. He made no reply when arrested and charged with stealing all these. At this point in the proceedings Mr. Morgan Rees, addressing the Bench, asked that the case might be taken no further until the prisoner's father (who had been sent for) could arrive from Haverfordwest. The Bench agreed, and adjourned the court for an hour.

NEW ADMINISTRATION OF NIGERIA, Renter's agent at Lokoja, Northern Nigeria, writing on January 2, supplies details of the function on the previous day, when Brigadier- general Lugard assumed, on behalf of the Imperial Government, tho administration of the territories hitherto administered by the Royal Niger Company. All the troops in garrison at Lokaja. were in position at seven a.m. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Willcocks. commandant of the West African Frontier Force. It having been decided by the home authorities that the status of the new territories should be that of a protectorate. General Lugard's official title is High Commissioner of Northern Nigeria. The High Commissioner, attended by his civilian staff, came on the ground a little after seven a.m.. and, taking his stand by the main flag-staff, on which the Niger Company's g floated for the last time, in the hearing of the assembled military and civil officers read the Queen's proclamation. This done, the Royal Niger Company's flag was hauled down and the Union Jack run up in its place. The batteries then fired an Imperial salute of 31 guns, the intervals between the guns being employed by the play- ing of the National Anthem by the massed bands. The salute was followed by three cheers for the Queen. The High Commissioner then took the oath of fealty and allegianoe to her Majesty, and the three Mnior civil officers were duly 8w"rn ift. The brigade then marched past in excellent style, and were afterwards addressed by the High Commis- sioner. The afternoon was occupied by i athletic sports, and in the evening a dinner was given by the High Commissioner.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT. To the Editor of the "Fuming Express." Sir,—Yesterday I took my little dog for a walk to Llanhen, and was surprised to find that nearly every dog in the village (and it seemed to me the Tillage was full of them) was I without a mutile! The result was that my own little tyke. through having a muzzle on, was worried most savagely three times during j the few minutes I was in the village. What I should like to know. sir, is whether the Muzzling Order is still in force in that village, and if iIQ, why isn't it enforced as it is in Car- diff? As things are now the poor dog of the law keeper is punished severely by the dog of the law breaker, and is quite unable to defend itslf.-I am, Ac., WORRIED.

THE GUNS AT COLENSO. CAPTAIN COXGREVES LETTER TO A NEWPORT FRIEND. Captain Walter Ncrris Cpngreve, V.C.. Rifle Brigade, in a letter to a friend at Newport (Mon.), modestly tells of his gallant attempt to recover the guns at Colenso. He says:—"My first experience was my stick being knocked out of my hand by a bullet. Then a horse beside me was killed by a shell. About ten o'clock two batteries, which had advanced fa.r too close, ran short of ammunition. Their wagons were about 800 yards behind, horses and mien sheltering in a deep, narrow nullah. General Buller told them to take the wagons up to the battery, but directly they emerged a stream of bullets and shells fell all around, and most of the men got into the nullah again. Generals Clery and Buller stood out in it, and Mid. 'Some of you go and help.' Schofield. A. D. C. Roberts (Lord Roberts's son), myself, and two or three others went to the wagons. and we three, helped by a corporal and six gunners. got two wagons horsed. BULLETS NEVER THICKER. "I have never seen," continues Captain Con- greve, "even at field firing, the bullets fly thicker. All one could see were little tufts of dust all over the ground, a whistling noise. 'phut' where they hit, and an increasing rattle of musketry somewhere in front. My first ballet went through my left sleeve, and just made the joint of my elbow bleed, next a clod of earth caught me smack on the rigrht arm; then my horse got ow. then my right leg one. my horse another, and that settled us. for he plunged and I fell about 100 yards short of the guns we were going to. A little nullah was close by. and into that I hobbled and sat down. It was not much shelter, however, and I had not been in a minute before another bullet hit the toe of my boot. went into the welt. travelled up and came ont at the toe-cap, two inches from the end of the toe. It did not even scratch me, but I shifted my Quarters pretty anickly to a better place, where I found Colonels Hunt and Long. B.A. a dozen or so wounded gunnere, a dootor. Colonel Bullock, and about fifteen men of his regiment, all that was left of the eaoort and two batteries. FlVE HOURS IN THE SUN. "The bank of the nullah was not more tha.n 3ft. high, so we had to lie down, buUtAI whist- line over one s head dilyit appeared. About eleven o'clock the fire slackened, so I went out. to see if I could fce-5 anything of the rest of our party. I found poor Roberts badly wounded, and, with the doctor and a gunner subaltern, got him into the nullah, and there we lay from eleven to half-past four; no water. not a breath of air, no particle of shade, and a sun which I have never felt hotter in India. A knife could not be held in the bare hand. It was the most beastly day I ever spent, and seemed interminable; what it must have been for the badly wounded I hardly like to think. Some of my time was spent in dressing wounds, under Baptie's directions. My jacket was taken to shade Roberts's head, and what with blood and dirt I was a pretty object by the time I got out. About half-past four the Boers rode up and aaked us to surrender, or they would shoot us all. BUT THEY REFUSED TO SURRENDER. "Colonel Bullock," concludes Congreve. "was the senior unwounded officer, and had, per- haps, twenty rifles all told. He refused, and the Boers at once began a fusillade from fifty yards distance, and our people returned it. Bullock's men knocked over two, and then they put up a white flag and parleyed. The Boers said we might remove our wounded, and the remainder either be taken prisoners or fight it oirt. However, while we were talking 100 or so crept round 118, we found loaded rifles at every man's head, and we were forced to give in. One of our ambulances came up. and we were gradually collected at one epot. A colour- sergeant of the Devon Regiment carried me upon his back. He had a bit of skin knocked off his thumb, which he considered a wound, and I was too frightened of their changing their mind and sending me to Pretoria to have a conscience for him." Fortunately, Captain Congreve s wound was slight, and he hoped to be back in the fray in a fortnight.

THE CHINESE EMPEROR PLANS OF THE DOWAGER EMPRESS. A Press Association special telegram. dated Peking, February 6, says:—It is now generally believed that the Dowager Empress will not attempt to bring about the formal deposition of the Empe- ror at the present moment, though there is no room for doubt that this was her original intention. I gather from credible Chinese sources that her Majesty meant to carry out. her plan during the first few days of t Ue New Year, and had made every preparation for the coup, but at the last moment repre- sentations were made to her that such a course would probably create serious opposition in the south, and she was thus induced to tem- porarily abandon her project. A great deal of anxiety exists in native quarters as to what will be the nature of her Majesty's next move, but it is generally thought that she will all iw affairs to remain as they are for some time until she is able to ascertain beyond doubt what attitude the present Emperor's par y is likely to assume. There is. however, littm reason for believing that this party is suffi- ciently strong or united to give serious trouble whatever action the Dowager Empress may choose to take.

FATAL ACCIDENTS AT DOWLAIS. Two more fatalities are reported from Dow- lais, making three this week. On Wednesday a fall of stone occurred at the Dowlais Iron Company's No. 2 Pit, Vochriw. killing instan- taneously a youth of twelve, named Lewis Evans, living at High-street, Gellifaelog, Dow. lais, who was partaking of dinner at the time. The deceased was the sole support of his widowed mother, the father having met his death some time ago under similar circum- stances. A young Irishman, named Patrick Brenn>an. lodging at No. 5. Sand-street, who had only come over from the Emerald Isle a fortnight since and commenced work at the Bessemer furnace department, Old Works, was found on Wednesday crushed to death between the top of a lift and the beam. How the poor fellow got there is a myaterj ¡"

NEWSPAPER OFFICES IN FLAMES. WATEE SUPPLY CUT OF*. About 12.30 on Thursday morning the offices of the "Ta.r.4an" (Welsh ttewgpapeN), Aberdare, were found to be on arc. An alarm w&e at once raised, and the police were stoon on the spot, but it was found that the water in that portion of the main near the offices named had been cut off, and about. 35 minutes elapsed before any water could be obtained. By this time the fire had extended considerably, and it was seen there was no hope of saving the building. This proved to b" true, for the whole of the offices and plant, with the excep- tion of one machine, were destroyed. The damage is estimated at between £800 and £900, which is partly covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. No person was residing 9n the premises. The adjoining property was slightly injured.

COUNTY COUNCILS AND THE WAR. MONMOUTHSHIRE TAKES UP THE MILITARY SPIRIT. FOOTBALL V. RULE SHOOTING. At the Quarterly meeting of the Monmouth- shire County Council on Wednesday, The Chairman (Alderman E. Grove), in accordance with notice, moved as follows: —"That in the opinion of this council tint Volunteer forces of the country should be kept in a state of the highest permanent efficiency, and that it appears desirable that I the Government should provide, where neces- sary. ranges for rifle and artillery practice and drill-halls, together with financial aid. so 1 as to relieve offioers and men who are willing I. to give their time in defence of the nation from the undue strain of financial responsi- bility. That Reservist forces of Volunteers should be formed, to be called upon in cases I of emergency." The chairman said he did not want to advocate panic legislation, or to harass the Government m any way in their onerous I duties. Nor did he want to go into the cause or the conduct of the war. The time for inquiry would come hereafter. He contrasted the armies of the countries of Europe with these of Great Britain. The Volunteer force was for defence and not defiance, and if tha.t force could be kept up with efficiency they would not want conscription. (Hear. hear.! Why should not their young men join the Volunteer force il greater numbers? Why, should they so to the football field rather than to the rifle range? Rifle shooting was. a much more scientific pastime than football. Bat there was something radically wrong about the popularity of the Volunteer force. History repeated itself. Five centuries and a half ago —in 1349-it was on record that Edward Ill. objected to football because it had a tendency to discourage shooting. He hoped that there would be a strong movement, in favour of providing ample rifle ranges and in giving suitable monetary help to the Volunteers. It was no wonder that there was a scarcity of officers when it oiten occurred that the first thing an officer had to do was to go to the bank and make himself responsible for a large overdraft. Colonel Brodney seconded the motion, and •aid it seemed quite dear that county councils had the power to acquire rifle range*. Lord Tredegar supported the motion, and thought it was a resolution that would strengthen the hands of the Government, who would welcome it at the present juncture. As loTd-lieutenant of the county, he would do all he could to promote the movement. There were some excellent ranges in the county, but they were mostly at the tops of mountains. and it was not likely that men could shoot well after climbing up a mountain. Mr. J. R. Jacob suoported the motion as a non-military man and a man of peace. The motion was carried unanimously, and .Colonel Bradney was appointed to attend as the representative of thecoanty on the central committee in London.

THE LATE DUKE OF WEST. MINSTER. TRIBUTE BY THE PRINCE OF WALES. Speaking on Wednesday afternoon at a meet- ing of the council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the Prince of Wales said it was his melancholy duty to announce that there was a vacancy on the council caused by the death of their friend and colleague, the Duke of Westminster. They all knew the late duks's nobility of character and the many works of philanthropy and efforts for moral and material improvement of the people in which he took so prominent a part. The members of the council mourned the loss of a personal friend, a large-hearted philanthropist, and a noble-minded Englishman. ALLEG THIEVES

AT SWANSEA. TITO MORE ARRESTS. The London police have arrested two other men on suspicion of being connected with the thieving depredations at Swansea hotels on the occasion of the recent international foot- ball match, and Detective Morris on Wednes- day travelled to London and received them into custody. The two men previously arrested, Henry Richards and James Neal, were again brought up at Swansea Police-court on Wednesday, and further remanded for a week.

HELP 1 OR THE CHILDREN. Excellent work it constantly going on in Oar- diff and the district in preserving and protect- ing helpless children from cruelty. Sad cases have been disclosed in the police-courts of Car- diff. Barry, Penarth, Pontypridd, Ac. Yet these cases do not represent a tithe of those which the local branch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children is called on to deal with. the great majority of which, owing to effectual warnings and regulw supervision do not need to be brought to the light of the Dolioe-courts. The two Cardiff inspectors have had in hand during the put twelve months cases in which nearly 1.000 children have been protected from neglect and cruelty. The main- tenance of this work is largely due to the efforts of a. ladies' committee, who once a year cheer- fully face the not always pleasant task of call- ing from door to door for subscriptions to pro- vide the money necessary. We are asked to intimate to our readers that the lady collec- tors whose work is apportioned among the residential districts of Cardiff will be actively campaigning during the next week or so.

HOME DISTRICT RIFLE ASSO- CIATION. Major-general Trotter presided at the annual meeting of the Home District Rifle Associa- tion on Wednesday. Captain Neish pre- sented the accounts, which showed that the expenditure exoeeded the income by £ 8.— Major Tureaday raised the question whether the competitions for the "Daily Telegraph. Dewar, and General's Cups should be held this year in view of the absence of some batta- lions in South Africa.—General Trotter thought they ought to keep up the competitions, and the first Saturday in May was the date fixed.

DEATH OF M. AttOLPHE DE ROTHSCHILD. Paris, Wedoeediay.—The death took place this afternoon at his Paris residence of M. Adolpbe eke Rothschild, after an illness of several days. He was 77 yean of age.—Dalael.

A terrible accident took place on Wednesday morning at TittTs Well to a man named diaries Nicholas, employed by Messrs. Jones and Witts, contractors. An explosion occurred under circumstances at present not known. and the unfortunate workman was cut about the hands, face. and head, and rendered UII- consoious. He was brought down to Cardiff at once and taken-.to the infirmary, where his injuries were attwded to. He lies in a serious fioftdltion,

WHO'S GOING TO WIN ON SATURDAY! East v. West was in the old dayt a very potent factor in football. It seems to me. however, that its potency was never mon. pronounced than it is just now. Who is to blame for this it is hard to say, and whoever is to blame for it ought to pay the penalty. On Saturday last a am informed by » thoroughly trustworthy confrere the game at Penarth developed into nothing more nor lees than a rough-and-tumble. My eor- respondent assures me that in the main it was- an endeavour to "lay out" Bancroft, and in this the Penarth team, he further states, waa assisted by the spectators. Now, if I had my 1 way. I would put an end once and for all to this sort of thing. Football is a sport—a pastime—and when it degenerates into a cat- and-dog fight it is time to state that the- teams between which such a state of affairs exists should play no longer. The Swansea Committee, I note, consider they are the aggrieved parties in this case, and so they have decided to cancel the:r fixtures with Penarth for the season 1900-1. Now, if what my correspondent tells me occurred at Penarth on Saturday last be true. I don't blame the Swan- sea Committee in the slightest-indeed. I con- sider that, in acting as they have done. they have considered the best interests cf sport. It is the duty of every committee nowadays, so far as they are able. to prevent the game deteriorating into a cat-and-dog ight It is the duty, also, of a home committee to control the exuberance, so far as they are able, of their spectators. Mark you, I make no allegations acainst either Penarth or Swansea. I do say, however, that my correspondent has impressed I upon me that not only the Penarth players, but also the Penarth spectators, exceeded the boonds of sportsmanship in one case, and legitimate protestation in the other. If my correspondent is to be believed. Swansea h-ave only done justice to themselves in cancelling future fixtures with Penarth. That is one side of the case. Now I come to the other aide. The Swansea "Daiiy POlt." of Wednesday .says:—Who's going to win on Saturday? "Abertawe writee:-WeI1. a mem- ber of the Swansea, Committee says that Car- diff won't, that is. he added, significantly, 'if our three-quarters realise that Gwyn Nicholls bottled up is Gwyn Nicholls settled.' This is true enough, and if Davies and Rees tackle the lengthy Cardiffian before he gets to his wing man I think W. Jones will not give any ex- ceptional trouble. Let us have the same kind of tackling as at Cardiff, and the same score lor something near it' will be the result. Let the blue and blacks tackle a bit as well! Now to me this seems something like sug- gesting that Gwyn Nicholls with a broken arm or a broken leg will be not be of much value to the Cardiff side. I hope I have misunder- stood the spirit of the "Post writer, but it. looks sadly to me as if that is what he means. Not that I thing it matters very much, except that the "Post" representative does not give a fair indication of the ideas i t!itlJ.er of the Swansea players or the Swansea crowd. I am afraid he allows his animosity to the East to run away with any little sports- manship he may have ever possessed. It would be just as easy for an Eastern writer to suggesi that the Cardiff forwards should never trouble whether Bancroft kicked the ball or not, bat put the Swansea full-back out. Tet, why should this sort .of thing be done? I am sure the spectators do not desire it, and, if it were not for the leading hints they get from some writers such ideae would never enter their minds. If the game is to be played fairly and squarely let it be so. and as it should be. Perhaps I attach too much importance to the suggestions of the Post critic, but I am anxious to see the game played in a fair, straightforward, manly spirit, and I cannot, help deploring any inuendoes that may cause the standard of the play to be lowered. > At the end of February isay6 the "Cambria*^ 1 Daily Leader")-a. fortnight from next Satur*- day-Swaaw.% receive a visit from their Pari- sian frieride-t-he fctade Francais Club. The latter are shaping much better this year than they did last, thanks to the experience they are ga,ining from the visits of English clubs to the French capital. The all whites were treated so hospitably when they were on the "Con- tinong" that it-is -only richt-tbev should reci- procate, and arrangenwntw are being made to give the visitor* hearty reception. A sub- committee has been struck to-carry out the arrangements, and no doubt the Swansea Club will do the thing well and send the French players back with everlasting impressions of Swansea and its inhabitants. If the Glamorgan County Football ClilLb were only able to take part in the Oosuity Cham- pionship. then it ought to be a walk over for the boys of Morganwg, for. assuredly, there is no county in the world at the present moment that has such a plethora of talent a* Glamor- ganshire. In the majority of their county contests, however, the team put in the field is < generally below their strength. The principal reason for this is that very little interest is taken in county football in South Wales just now. If. however, it was a question of fight- ing for supremacy in ematy honours, then very different would be the cam, for the men of Morgan we would take an iileiwt in these matters, and the result would be that we should have a county team that. to all intents and purposes, would be as good as an interna- tional team. for, with all due respect to Monmouthshire and Carmarthenshire, the strength of Welsh football lies in Glamorgan- shire just now. A correspondent sends me the following letter:— v Dear Football Scribe, '—I am rather eur- V prised that you fancy W ales s chanoe* against Ireland. Speaking as an Irishman, yolil have puzzled me by your strange football ravings. Do you imagine Ireland will allow Wales to vanquish her on Irish ground? Of course, I take it that you are in jest; I am sure of it. otherwise you would not jot down in a higgledy-piggledy manner this absurd and pre- sumptuous statement. But bear in mind thrt a Tipperary boy is not caught by football chaff and gossip. Of course. Wales will not get the wooden spoon this year, although, ay a rule, the spoon is claimed annually by Wales, and won in meritorious fashion; but candidly, I consider her chances far from rosy when her representatives step on Irish soil The fact of the matter is that we have taker the land of flannel and coraoies UKxsheapij J for the last six years, but this year. I under J stand, the Irish team will administer to Wale t such a trooncing as to remove all the oonoei < which has puffed up Wales like a bladder of < wind since her two victories over England and Scotland respectively.-I am, kc, YISiXlNd IRISHMAN. H, dear intelligent friend. I don't wonder that you are pusaied. Indeed, from yoor letter I should say that it would take very little to puzzle you. But why do you maggqwt. that Ire- land will not allow Wales to vanquish her on Irish ground" And why do you suggest that I am jesting? Swrely. if Walee caa put, on a better team than Ireland it will not matter if the match takes place on Irafti or Welsh ground. As to Ireland holding th* chances of Wales too cheaply for the last six years. that is just as absurd as yowr sugges- tion that Ireland will administer a sound trouncing to Wales. To remove the conceit (as you term it), if you are an Irish footballer, or. indeed, ever had any connection with Irish footballers, you would not write in the idiotic manner in which you do. neither would yoo suggest that Irishmen are such indifferent sportsmen as your letter would make them out to be.

Tuesday evening, by way of a send-off to Mr. Ivor Lewis, son of Dr. Ivor A. Lowis. J.P., Cymmer, who is at once leaving to join the forces in South Africa. The opportunity was taken to present Mr. Lewis with a pair of binocular field glasses as a token of respect from his numerous friends. Several speeches were delivered, and the proceedings were of a most enjoyable character throughout. CARDIGANSHIRE. LETTER FROM THE LORD-LIEUTENANT. An important communication, addressed to the mayor (Councillor C. M. Williams) by Colonel Davies-Evans, the lord-lieutenant of the county, was received at Tuesday's meeting of the Aberystwith Town Council concerning the proposed formation of a Volunteer corps. The letter read :"I hear that Aberystwith desires to raise a Volunteer regiment. I should be Klad if you would kindly put me in communi- cation with, or tell me the name of. the origi- nator of the movement. I have offered the War Office to resign the lieutenancy and apply myself to any service of which I am capable, but my age will, of course, bar me from active work-though I am stronger and fitter than many younger men. However, the Reserve forces in the county are my particular pro- vince and duty aa lord-lieutenant, and if a serious movement is contemplated I should like to be, and ought to be, associated with it.- Yours very truly, H; Davies-Evang.The Town- clerk (Mr. A. J. Hughes) said the mayor, who was laid up and confined to his bed, had asked him to communicate with Colonel Daties- Evans, and to state that the public meeting which was recently held unanimously resolved that they should place themselves in communi- cation with the lord-lieutenant and also the county member (Mr. Vaughan Davies).-The ex- Mayor understood this had been done, and the Town-clerk replied in the affirmative. H PLAYERS PROMINENT. It is no wonder (says "Red Dragon") that hockey is making such rapid strides in South Wales. Look at the lists of Yeomanry and Volunteers for the front, and see how many familiar names occur there. The grit that takes a man "to the front" is what has made hockey prosper among us. We are losing a good deal of it, but we have plenty of the same stuff left, and for "the front" if neces- sary. To those who are going we wish every luck, and a safe and speedy return to our hockey grounds. In Major Wyndham-Quins' company there are Norman Biggs and Bless- ley (Llaniehen), Keats Wilson (Merthyr), B. H. Lewis (Pontypridd), Morgan and Marsh (Aber- gavenny), P. Roscorla (West Cardiff), and Mat- thias (Newcastle Emlyn). In the Gloucester- shire Yeomanry are Charles and Strakcr (Abergavenny). Among the 110 Volunteers selected for active service with the Welsh Regi- ment are Lewis (Aberdare) and Charles (Mer- thyr), while B. Jones and others (Swansea) are with the Pembroke Yeomanry. They can well represent Wales in a hockey match at Pre- toria. DEPARTURE OF VOLUNTEERS. The Union liner Greek, leaving Southampton on Wednesday next, the 14th inst., will convey 30 officers and 800 non-commissioned officers and men from Volunteer regiments to South Africa. The Guelph, belonging to the Union Steam- ship Company, which leaves Southampton as the ordinary intermediate steamer on Satur- day, the 17th inst., will convey 30 officers and 800 non-commissioned officers and men from Volunteer regiments to the Cape. RESERVISTS' FUNDS. CARDIFF.
