WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

HOW KRUGER ESCAPED.

General French is trying to intercept Boers in their re

treat at Popular Grove, was foiled by a few riflemen A Daily News corres- pondent describes how this came about:-

About 6,000 yards from the square kopje at Dreifontein, a three-inch Creu- sot anda Vickers-Maxim opened fire A great many shells were thrown. We, however, suffered

no loss, and P. Battery opened in an

| attempt toe silence these guns, whose chance of escape seemed very slender. | “But here an exciting and unlooked |

fur change occured. French, once more realizing that extension on his right

his dispositions, suddenly discovered | on a ridge before him a party of about fifty Boers sharpshooters, who not only drove off the general and staff, but forced the retirement of the whole right wing, barring a squadron of Household, with two Maxims, some mounted infantry with a Maxim, and a | squadron of Remington’s guides post- | ed in broken ground on our right and ° ahd under sharp fire from the kopje we had neglected to seize.

had luckily escaped without injury, ex- cept a horse shot. He himself dashed down ahead of the battery and correct- ed the error, but our advance was stopp-d for an hour and twenty minutes We suffered nearly fifty casualties and, more important than all,the enemy was moving while we were held, and got off with his guns and stores. A most gallant stand, most brilliantly ex- ecuted. We had the chagrim of watch- ing from the disputed and ridge the distant retirement of the Boer convoy. Not till next day did we hear that President Kruger had been present at the battle, and that we might have captured him and brought the war to a tudden end but for the ill-starred con- traction of our right wing, which in dealing with an enemy of such mobili- ty as the Boers, was on much too short a radius, and which had _ no justifica- tion in any efforts on the. part of the enemy to break through our centre, who, on the contrary, throughout the day consistently rallied on his left, actually outfanking our contracted right between nine and ten a. m., and again atone p.m. Wednesday even- ing the cavalry division camped on Dreifontein at the rear of the enemy’s position, and across his line of retire- ment, which was marked for miles by the jetsam ofa hurried retreat—bags of flour, mealies, bran and odds and ends of all sorts.”

PRETTY STORY OF ROBERTS.

On the eve of his departure for South Africa, Lord Roberts received a letter, written in a boyish hand, and signed with the Christian names of three children of evidently the same family. The surname of the family was not given, says the London corres- pondent of the Birmingham Post, but the little ones had written their letter on father’s notepaper, with its printed address. They told Lord Rob- erts that they regarded him as one of the biggest men in England, and hop- ed he would beat the Boers. ‘We shall pray for you,’ they added, ‘every night when we go to bed.’ When Lord Roberts got to Modder River he sent a delightful reply. He did not know the surname of the little trio, but he wrote the Christian names on the en- velope, and sent it to the address giv- en on the letter paper. ‘I hope my dear little ones,’ concluded the great

I’ve a bonnie blue-eyed girl,

mated sperk.

She says, ‘Fader, I love ’oo, And I love my moder too, And I love dear Dod, and Jesus, and my broder up in heaven, And I love my doll in pink And my dollie that can wink, But I think I’d love them better if they only just were livin’.

’T will will d:v to ’oo a tiss;’ There is no higher bliss, Than the love-begotten kisses of my bonnie blue-eyed queen ; They are sweeter far to me, Than the wealth of land and sea. She’s the image of her mother, she’s my darling lassie Jean.

She’s so knit into my heart, That her pain gives me a dart, And her joy to me is gladness, well- ing up, and bursting out. I would press her in my arms ; I would shield her from all harms; I would drive all i!ls before her; I would put her foes to rout.

I will give her in my prayers, To the God who ever cares, For the bairnies He has lent us; I willleave herin His keep,

He will guard her day by day, When she’s romping in her play ; He will watch her as she_ slumbers, and protect her in her sleep.

May the God in heaven above Wind His mighty arm of love Round my bonnie blue-eyed lassie, and preserve her to us long. And when earthly life is done, May we dwell beyond the sun ; May we blend our hallelujahs, in the realms of deathless song.

President Steyn has issued orders to the Boer forces to hold tight to the grain districts of Wepener, Ladybrand and Ficksburg,from which they draw jheir supplies, and also to prevent the British forces from getting the rich supplies now in those districts.

The Tadvyvsmith cerrespondent of the Lereen standard says: “There is good re: son to believe that the Boers’ raids are intended to cover the enemy’s withdrawal from Natal in order to hold the Boers in opposing the advance of Loid Roberts.

The Ladysmith correspondent of the London Daily News says: “The Boers in Natal are already commenced a guerilla warfare. Both the Trans-
