CLEARING CAPE COLONY.
CLEARING CAPE COLONY. TWO COMMANDANTS ACCOUNTED FOR. The War Office has issued the following despatch:— from Lord Kitchener to the Secretary of State for War. Pretoria, Friday. General French reports that Colonel Gor- ringe attacked Kritzinger's commandoes on 13th, north of Steynsburg, driving them north to near Venterstad in contusion. Amongst the prisoners taken were Com- mandants Erasmus a ud Cachet, the latter mortally wounded. French's other columns are gradually press- ing the enemy northward. A party of French's scouts, about 50 strong, proceeding to join a column near Bethesdu, were surrounded in the hills by superior num- bers under Thereon, and surrendered. One man was killed, and Captain Bethellieim, com- manding, dangerously wounded. Three men were wounded. The prisoners were released.
THE ROUT OF KlUTZ INGER.
THE ROUT OF KlUTZ INGER. DRIVEN ACROSS THE ORANGE RIVER. Colonel Gorringe, after his engagement with Kritzinger on Tuesday, closely followed him, and II <1 rove him across the Orange River on Thursday "with about 100 followers. In the engagement I about 20 Boers were killed, and Kritzinger's sec- ) retary, with all his private papers, was captured. The commando is said to have split into two small parties. Kritzinger's commando, numbering 70 men, crossed the Orange River at Franz and Hoek Drifts, closely pursued by Colonel Gorringe's column. A strong patrol left Norval's Pont to intercept the enemy, but it reached the drifts too -late, as the commando had crossed. Columns are ■now harassing the enemy north of the river. j Colonel Gorringe on the 14th inst. again en- gaged the remainder of Kritzinger's commando south-west of Venterstad, when two Boers were wounded and captured. On Thursday a party of n hundred Boers belong to the same commando crossed into Orange Iliver Colony, and fired shells from the north bank of the Orange River. Many of these Boers were on foot, a large number of their horses having been adandoned and picked up by the British. BOER WOMEN ON HORSEBACK. Damant's column, consisting of Rimington's -Yeeinanry, has returned to Jagersfontein after a fortnight's operations in the Fauresmith district. Judge Hertzog's private store was discovered at Fauresmith. The Boer Landdrost of Fauresmith was captured and one Boer was killed. Among the Boers were noticed several women on horse- back collecting horses. BOERS FARMS TO BE SOLD. Lord Kitchener's proclamation is already ex- erting a marked effect, which is amply attested by the recent surrenders. Doubt is expressed as to whether the clause referring to a charge on property for the maintenance of refugees is in- tended to apply to individuals for the maintenance of their families or as a general charge against the properties of all unsurrendered burghers for the upkeep of the camps. I am in a position to state that the liability is collective, not individual. I believe the policy will be pursued of selling a certain number of the farms of those concerned .month by month by public auction. FIGHTING NEAR MAFEKING. On the morning of the 14th inst. a train going -north passed Nine Mile Cottage, and found the Boers in possession. It appears that they had taken the ganger prisoner, and under the pres- sure of threats persuaded him to signal Stop the train." The men in charge of the train realising the position pushed forward, and were surprised at meeting with no interference. They found the solution of the question, however, a smile or two farther, when a larger body of Boers were sighted, whereupon the train began to return under a lively fusillade from the Boers hidden in the bushes at close range. Many bullets, princi- pally Martini*, passed through a saloon in which some ladies were sitting, The ganger's wife and family were brought to Mafeking. Marico's coin- niando, 150 strong, made a descent on the railway on the 15th inst. The line was destroyed and the telegraph line cut. An armoured train came into action, and afterwards escorted back the down mail. 1 1 BREMERSDORP ECHOES. 1 Notwithstanding the Swazi Queen's assurance of neutrality, her subjects greatly aided the Boers in their attack upon Breinersdorp, which could j not have succeeded but for the fact that the armed natives assisted in rushing the positions outside the town, which were held by a company ( of Steinacker's Horse. Despatches since received j state that the Maxim gun, 15,000 rounds of t ammunition, and two days' rations for 100 men 1 had to be abandoned, and all the wagons and ( ■cattle belonging to the gallant defenders were captured. j In the three attaoks on the positions held by •Steinacker's Horse the Boer casualties in killed and wounded were very heavy. After the retreat from Breinersdorp Major Steinacker paid a sur- prise visit at night to the Boer laager, and cap- ( tured 18 prisoners, who consisted chiefly of Ger- J mans and Hollanders. Captain Holgate holds the responsibility of patrolling the country, and his J Y, force is now entrenched near the Portuguese frontier. t t REJOICING AND FIGHTING. [ ,oil the eve of the Duke of Cornwall's arrival at c 'Cape Town it is hard for the man in the street c amid the display of flags, bunting, and tri- ( umphal arches to suspect the presence of war in v the Colony, although it is still a stern reality to i thosc responsible for military operations. The :1 very heartiness of the welcome extended to the ( Royal visitors will be proof positive how little ( 0 people allow the ordinary course of daily life to he interfered with by the senseless efforts of the t LBoers to prolong a moribund campaign. (i Ali the western district of Cape Colony snuil] i groups of Boers are still wandering at large, but t the absence of water, which is only found in oc- casional pans, for the most part held by UK, re- c xtricts their movements. The troops in this part I of the country are mainly district forces, but c these, with reinforcements shortly to arrive, will effectually prevent the enemy from gaining any v large number of recruits in disaffected areas of Calvinia. Clanwilliam, and Ceres. j In the midlands the work of hustling the Boers j is being continued under General French at a I great pace, h..t, as I )i-,ti -c already pointed out, no t nignsil coup need be expected at present. The cup- l ture of one conima'idant and a few other prisoners r here and a number uf horses there may be poor ( reading for those at home, but it means far more t ;to the Boers on the spot. "1 On the other hand we have to regret a mishap ( to French's Scouts. This small force, which has ( done good service throughout the war, was sur- f prised by Boers as it was nearing Bethesda, and 1 lost one sergeant killed and two officers and 11 ( men wounded. After two hours' lighting the ) force, 68 strong, surrendered, with the exception I of three men, who escaped and brought the news to Bethesda Road Station. I NEWS OF GENERAL BOTHA. 1 General Botha's commando is reported to be in the vicinity of Nondivcni, and is estimated to be 4.000 strong. An active force under General ( Kitchener is reported to he moving against him. The belief is expressed that the enemy as a result „ will be cleared out of Zululand.

Lieutenant Lord Brooke, 1st Life Guards, sailed on Saturday on the Union-Castle liner Norman for service on the staff of Lord Milner. E A verdict of Accidental death" was re- turned at the inquest OIL the two excavators, 11 John Strode and Edward Rothwell, who were suffocated by sewer gas at Audenshaw on August 10th. Rothwell descended a shaft to fetch a saw, was overcome by fumes, and fell to the bottom. Strode went to the rescue and a was also overcome. Both were taken out dead.
ANOTHER GOOD WEEK' IWORK.
ANOTHER GOOD WEEK' I WORK. j NOTABLE CAPTURES. I The War Office has issued the following despatch:— From Lord Kitchener to the Secretary of State for War. Pretoria, Monday. Since August 12th columns report, including all separately recorded, 64 Boers hilled, 2( wounded, 248 prisoners, and 95 surrenders alsc 267 rifles, 13,700 rounds of small arm annnu nition, 127 wagons, 940 horses, 4,700 cattle, anc other stock captured. Colonel Blason by surprising a Boer laager n( Doornpoort on August 16th contributed twe killed and 30 prisoners, including Captain Brey- tenbach, of Lilliefontein, and De Villiers, father of Mrs. Schalk Burger. There is no news from General Blood's other Columns. The fertile Hekpoort Valley and Magalies. burg have been cleared, and Kekewich and Allenby are following the Boers who bolted north. No news from Featherstonhaugh or Methuen. I Colonel Garratt surprised a laagerat the junc- tion of Honingspruit at dawn yesterday, killing one and capturing 25 Boers, including Landrost Steyn, ofVredefort. South of Modder River the situation is un- changed. To the east of the railway and to the south of Thabanchu lines, CBiarles Knox with his own columns is dealing with some 250 Transvaalers who broke south through the Thabanchu line, and are now about Wopener, followed by Rawlinson, and with the same number of Krit- zinger's commando, which has been pushed across the Orange River by French's columns. Am waiting for French's reports, but gather his operations have been generally satisfactory
A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.…
A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. YEOMEN UNABLE TO RIDE OR SHOOT. The London Gazette on Tuesday printed a despatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, July 8th, in continuation of his despatch of the 8th of May last. The despatch in the main con- sists of reports of operations of the respective general officers in various parts of the Transvaal, Orange River Colony, Cape Colony, &c., and a list of officers, non-commissioned officers, and men brought to notice and rewarded by pro- motion by his lordship. In his general remarks Lord Kitchener alludes to changes that have recently taken place in the composition of the army in South Africa. The period mentioned, his lordship says, has for a large portion of mounted troops been necessarily one of training and pre- paration. The whole of the original force of Im- perial Yeomanry and several of the earlier con- ti; igentf, of Australians and of New Zealanders were sent home during April, May, and June, and were replaced by new Imperial Yeomanry 16.000 strong, other oversea contingents, and the freshly recruited South African Constabulary. It was not to be expected that these untrained" men, however willing, would be able to fill the gap left by the departure of so many seasoned and ex- perienced soldiers. It was impossible at first to put into the field a large number of the new Yeomanry recruits, many of whom were unable either to ride or shoot. Their training unavoid- ably curtailed for a time the work of the mobile columns. Some few of the men proved quite unsuitable for the work expected of them, but satisfactory progress has been and is being made. The despatch of nine lately em- bodied militia battalions from England has enabled arrangements to be made for the return from South Africa of a similar number .of units. His lordships says the South African Constabulary is gradually becoming an effective force. They also have required considerable training. Operating from the vicinity of railways, and occupying forti- fied positions enclosing large areas, thus denying the passage of the enemy through certain dis- tricts, they have become lately of considerable value, and have shown commendable spirit and steadiness. EFFECT OF RECENT OPERATIONS. Of the situation Lord Kitchener says the gen- eral effect of the recent operations has been the gradual weakening of the enemy's power of offence. During May and June the Boer losses were undoubtedly very heavy, and there must have been many casualties which have never been reported. Our frequent captures of prisoners constitutes a steady drain on the num- bers still in the field, and the loss of their ox wagons has seriously affected the enemy's mobility and supply arrangements. Though the Boers are still able, in case of emergency, to con- centrate a considerable number of men, they are now, in Lord Kitchener's opinion, unable to andertake any large scheme of operations. Divided up in small parties of three to four hundred men, they are scattered all over the country, with- 3ut plans and without hope, and on the ap- proach of our troops they disperse to reassemble In the same neighbourhood when our men pass on. In this way they continue an obstinate resistance, without retaining anything or defending the smail- st portion of the vast country. The apparently nexhaustible supply of meat and mealies furnishes hem with food, but they are short of ammunition, ivhicli they use sparingly unless an oppurtunity jeeurs of surprising or ambushing some detached tarty of our troops numerically much inferior to liemselves. GUERILLA WARFARE. Lord Kitchener says he considers that through- out the Transvaal. Orange River Colony, and Jape Colony there are now not more than 13,500 ?oors in the field, but with long lines of railway ;o hold, every yard of which has to be defended )otli to secure military and civil supplies, IlId, what is more important, to prevent ,he enemy from obtaining necessaries by ,he capture of our trains, the employment )f large numbers of troops continues to be L necessity. Mobile columns are also required to operate aga inst scattered bands of the enemy, and somplete the exhaustion of his resources. The .'oniina.nder-in-Chief says :—" As with all guerilla varfare this is a slow process, and great patience s required to see the inevitable end to 1,11 insensate resistance. which some may ionsider patriotic, but which has, in my opinion, long since forfeited such A design- ation, and become an unjustifiable prolonga- ion of the war and sufferings of women and ihildren. Such a continuance of hostilities, cans- 1 ng so much devastation of country and distress 0 their own families, is due to the ignorant arro- lice of the leaders, who, though originally ipposed to the war. are unwilling now to sub- uit to what they foresaw would be the in- svitable consequence. The Boer party who leelared war have quitted the Held, and are now lrging those whom they directed to continue 1 useless strugg e by giving lying assurances to ig- lorant burghers of outside assistance, and by rais- ng absurdly deceitful hopes that Great Britain las not sufficient endurance to see the matter hrougli." Lord Kitchener concludes his despatch 'y declaring that the troops and their COIJI- nanders have continued to show those soldierly pialities which have marked their worth hroughout tile campaign. They cheerfully •espond to the constant, and heavy calls made ipon them, and to their efforts is due III a large legree the steady progress which has been made • gainst the enemy. Finally, Lord Kitchener ex- >ressed the hope that any promotions made by him oil the fielll may not prejudice the grant of any urther recognition which the Secretary for War nay think desirable. Appended to Lord Kitchener's despatch is a ong list of officers and men brought to notice by lini for conspicuous services. RETURNING TO THE FRAY. The Britannic sailed from Sydney on Tuesday vith 287 men who formerly served with the lustraliati. contingent in South Africa, and who ire now returning with the object of joining any ioutli African corps that may require recruits.

* NOTES ON NEWS.
NOTES ON NEWS. A Swiss paper notes the increase year by year of the number of tourists who lose their lives in the Alps, mostly by reason of impru- dence. The increase has been continuous since 1895, when 19 victims perished. By 1900 the R fatal disasters amounted to 48 and the present year seems likely to continue the progression. This rise in the number of accidents is certainly ( out of all proportion to the increase in the ranks ) )f climbers. A DECISION our own rulers would do well to note has been determined upon by the Govern- ment of Victoria in Australia forbidding the holders of licenses to vend tobacco to sell to ) children under the age of 16, the maximum penalty being fixed at £100. This may seem at first blush semewhat drastic, but the evil effects of cigarrette smoking upon persons of tender years, as attested by observant physicians, justi- fies its severity. As has often been pointed out, so-called cigarettes made of refuse and sweep- ings are sold in hucksters' shops at a halfpenny for three or six. ENGLISH fruit-growers are being beaten by J Californian rivals in the price and quality of plums. From California plums arrive—they | have been on sale in London for some days— J which, in spite of their long journey, can under- sell the English plum and vastly exceed it in attractiveness of appearance. The Californian plum is so carefully packed that it arrives with the bloom as fresh as at its first picking. Such trifles do not concern the English grower, I whose fruit, except it be of the most expensive kind, comes battered and bruised to market. I MEN from our most distant possessions have gone to the front. Raratonga, away in the wilds of the South Pacific, sent its only medi- cal man, a. notable act of self-denial and de- votion. Dr. Craig returned to the far-away island the other day, and the occasion was thought worthy of a display of fireworks. Such things are of necessity "home made "in Rara- tonga, and unfortunately the doctor's home- coming was marked by an explosion. Colonel Gudgeon, the resident, had a narrow escape, but his secretary, a white man named Goodwin, was killed, while several natives were seriously injured. Dr. Craig, who had been under fire a good deal in South Africa, found himself once more in something like the same sort of danger, but his luck held, and he escaped with- out harm. LIEUTENANT SPEKE, who was in command of the Viper when she ran on the Alderney rocks during the manoeuvres, has been simply repri- manded by the court-martial at Portsmouth, and the reprimand, as one may easily read be- tween the lines, is of the gentlest and most technical description. In effect the view of the Court was that Lieutenant Speke, being en- gaged on a warlike service in which speed and secrecy were more important than safety, did not take the precautions which are incumbent on the captain of a South-Western's Channel Islands passenger boat. In war-time, we trust, the lieutenants in charge of our destroyers will risk the dangers of strong tides and misty weather, and think more of the main object than of writing up their navigating records. That seems to be the sum of Lieutenant Speke's offence, which upon a calm review gives us re- newed confidence in the spirit of our naval offi- cers. For manoeuvres at sea are meaningless none of the risks of war are taken. THE fourteenth annual celebration of the National Co-operative Festival Society, which was brought to a conclusion, after a very full week's events, on Saturday night, will undoubt- edly be remembered as in many respects the most successful of the long series. Saturday's programme included items at all hours, from ten in the morning until eleven at night. The singing competitions attracted, as usual, large audiences, but the advance in the fares had practically excluded the Northern choirs, who were much missed. Dr. E. H. Turpin was again the adjudicator. The Earl Grey Challenge Shield and the first money prize was awarded to the Coventry Choir, The Lincoln Co-operative Choir came A very good second. The challenge trophy was awarded to the Portsmouth Choir. The musical feature of the day was the concert in the hall. A very large Co-operative choir rendered The Gate of Life," by Leoni, the solos being taken by Miss Maggie Purvis, Mr. G. Richards, and Mr. Charles Knowles. IT seems probable that our great-grand- children will ask in vain what was the taste or flavour of the fish known as sole and plaice which they may observe to occur frequently in the menus of their ancestors. The ground on which this alarming prediction is based is the fact, now generally admitted by experts, that our fisheries are being rapidly and continu- ously exhausted. In the dispute between the Grimsby trawlowners and their men this decrease in the supply of fish has bean suggested as an explanation of the declining profits of which the employers com- plain, and many of the leading owners do not hesitate to adopt this view. The ex- planation of the failure is very simple. The modern steam trawler sweeps the bottom of the sea with its dredging nets, and brings to the surface tons of immature fish which are useless for the market, and which cannot be restored to the sea to resume their growth because the bulk of them perish before the net is hauled up. The known breeding grounds of the fish are ruthlessly devastated in order to secure a few baskets of soles, and millions of young fish are sacrificed to gain these scanty results. The remedy, according to all experienced shipowner, is an international agreement which will pro- tect the breeding grounds during the summer. 0 THE Rev. J. W. Bacon's investigations into the phenomena of the upper atmosphere are still being continued. Whatever the results may be, it cannot be said that they are being made any too soon, for it is something of a re- proach to a country which used to be foremost in scientific research, and which has a climate unequalled for variability, that 35 years have passed since any precise and systematic obser- vations were made of the higher atmosphere. A night or two ago Mr. Bacon made a balloon ascent over London. The apparatus he took with him included a sling ther- mometer—which is whirled about in the air, the temperature of which is thus determined—and a. number of flasks con- taining distilled water. These at various alti- tudes are emptied of their contents, and are then hermetically closed, being afterwards sent, with the sample of air contained in them, for analysis. The dust, cloud which is always float- ing over London MI". Bacon has found to be composed chiefly of minute fibrous particles, similar to those produced by the wear of cloth fabric. He desires to investigate the reason for this, and also to examine into the mode of their conveyance into the atmosphere in which the fogs are created. A third subject of inquiry which Mr. Bacon attempted during his voyage was the Curious phenomenon of chill in the atmosphere immediately before suhrise. Sound signals are also engaging his attention, es- pecially as regards the reason by which they are sometimes carried over the point to be communicated with, and then reappear at a more distant point. The cause of this curious behaviour is entirely unknown, although it is suspected that ground wind or the variability of the upper currents of the air may account for it. It is nothing unusual for the survivors of a wrecked ship to declare that the warning signal from the shore was never heard. Why this is so is unknown the discovery of the reason would mean the saving of many livey from shipwreck annually.
