PRISONERS QUIT PRETORIA. WOUNDED MEN TURNED FOOD
OUT WITHOUT OR ATTENDANCE,
Fourteen discharged wounded pris- eners who came down from Pretoria, to Lerenzo Marques last Week left for Durbam, by H. M. S. Magicienne, They were turned out at a moment’s notice, without food or medical attend- dance, and were only supported by the kindness of the Britishers on the train. Nearly all are cripples, some are par- alyzed, some minus limbs, and the two days’ journey in a second-class carriage was positive torture to them. Among them is Cooper, of Montmorency’s Scouts, who was with Captain de Mont- morency at the finish, was himself wounded in three places, and shared his water bottle with Montmorency, who, although twice hit, never admitted his wounds, but continued shooting, lying down withina few yards of Cooper. Later on, when the Boers came up they found Montmorency stone dead. The released prisoners say that several trains loaded with men and surpplies have gone north to Pietersburg this week, to pro- tect the northern boundary against General Carrington.
Kroonstadt is most important strate gic pesition between Bloemfontein and Pretoria. It commands the direct rail- way to Pretoria and also the loop line threugh Potchefstroom to Johannes burg. Itis the key to the Transvaal and is the natural storehouse of sup-
