¢ rHEIR ARTILLERY.

In treating of the Boer artillery sys- tem I have purposely left outof ac- count their artillery. The Boer ar- tillery has surprised us in many ways; itis handled with considerable skill and freedom, and the Boers have shown great resourcefulness in turning every kind of gun, whether originally intended as a field gun, a gun of posi- tion, or a naval gun, te some usetul purpose. Nevertheless the essence o! the Boer system lies not in the ar- tillery, bat in the riflemen. A great deal has been said during this year of foreign mercenaries servizg with tie Boers. The remark has often been made that we are fighting not the Boers but all the nations of Europe. Unfortunately, that is not true. If the Boers had been led by European ad- visers, it is not very unlikely that our troops would have been in Pretoria at the end of last year. There has been a good many foreign experts with the Boer artillery, and many foreign ad- venturers hav2 joined the Boer com- mandoes, or, as_ the case of the Ger- mans, Scandinavians, and Hellanders, formed commandoes of their own, Or- ganized on the Boer medel. But the Hoers have much too good an opinion of their own military skill even to al- with the direction of their operations.

KRUGERS PI

RPOSE IS

POWER OF BRITISH.

The London Times prints fou | :

columns of mail correspondence from Bloemfontein, based upon original documents, official correspondence not readily accessible, going to show the

settled and long-standing determination

of President Kruger to destroy the British power in South Africa. The minutes of two conference held in

1882, between representatives of the two republics are cited. President Kruger and his colleagues in the con- ference were looking into the question of a customs union. He was against railway connection with the Cape, and against acommercial unien_ with the British colonies. At a second conference in 1852, Mr. Wolmarans, one of the emissaries now in Washing- ton, is represented as saying :— |

We have had much experience of Her Majesty’s Government, and we| vill, and must shake ourselves free and become incependent.

To this end the Times asserts Presi- dent Kruger in this conference was concerned te getan affensive and de- fensive treaty with the Free State. President Brand did not see a neces- sity for defeace. After Brand’s death in 1888, says the Times, Mr. Kruger zet his way in using the Free State to further the aims of the ‘Transvaai.
