l AT LADYSMITH.

A correspoziderit of the London

Times writing from Ladysmith gives much more dctinite information in re- gard to the situation within that town in the early days of the siege than we have yet seen. From this account it appears that Gen. \\'hi.e’s total force is about 9,000 men, of whom but little over 5,000 are regular infantry,

the balance being made up of cavalry and the naval contingent. ‘ He has 36 field guns and two naval guns. Without the latter he would have been unable to hcld his position, as the field guns have only an edec- tive range of 4,500 yards, The Boer guns attackin him hav a

g e range of

6.000 to 8.000 yards and are fitted with telescopic sight=. The garrison) supply of shells for the field guns was limited to 200 rounds per gun. It is easy to see that this supply must now be pretty nearly exhausted. Rifle ammunition and food was more plenti-

last till February lst.

`W e have been accustomed to think

of Gen. White and his little firce holding a. small, concentrated position. He had to occupy the hillsand kopjes surrounding Ladysmith, or they would have been seized one after another by the enemy. These out- posts make an irregu'ar circle extend- ing for eleven miles around the town To hold such extended lines while surrounded bya force two or three times as great as his own was the Herculean task to which Gen. White set himself to work, and nobly has he performed it.

The Times correspondent tells that

the Mauser rifles with which the Boers are armed are superior to the Bri- tish small arms, and of greater range. With a Mauser ville and a good pair of field glasses it is possible to make

tolerable practice at 3,000 yards. The* British infantry iifov mining of the use of glasses in riile shooting and are not trained to an auch lon ran

Y K 89°:

while one in every four of the Boer riflemen are equipped with powerful lield glasses The inequality of wea- pons is, however in part equalised by the inferrior ammunition with which the Boer artillery is served The enemy has, fortunately for us, been cheated by the ammunition contrac tors

The splendid and resourceful de-

fence, with many brilliant sorties made by the Ladysmith garrison since \’oveinber lst has called forth

BREADSTLFFS AS COWTRABAWD

If the Dutch republics had a sea-

port there would be no question of the right of Britain to blockade it and prevent the admission of any goods or merchandise that would be of use to the enemy As to ship- ments made by neutrals to Delagoa Bay there is a pretty general agree ment as to Bntain’a nght to stop tne importation there of arm°, muni tions of war or soldiers for the ene my-i armies. But the right to seize and stop the importation of foodstuffs is challenged

The challenge is made on two

grounds One of these is tha inter national law and usage will not war rant such seizure Tne other ground is that Britain cannot aiford to estab-

lish the precedent of declaring food to b= contraband in this case, because she, herfelf receives half her ordinary food supplies from over the sea and would be in danger of being starved into submission in case of a war with two or more great powers, who would then declare food to be contraband and p‘f‘ad Brita.in’s present action as their Justification This objection is

from her foes in regard to food, no matter what precedents may have been laid down.

\\`e therefore antic`pa.tc that Bri-

tain will pr. c-:ed as she has begun, seizing foiiil supplies shipped to Dt-llig-ia. Bay in transit to the Trans- vaal. But ilie neutral shippers will be paid for their merchandise. Food- stuHs will not be confiscated as will arms and munitions of war. This seems a reasonable and fair method of dealing with the matter.

Colesburg, near which Gen. French

has been making it lively for the enemy, is a town of about 2.000 in- habitants, who are mostly all Dutch, and in sympathy with the Bcers. Colesburg was seized by the butghers ,of the Orange Free State early in the War.

There is nothing at all surprising

in the fact that a number of foreign- ers have offered their services to light on the Boer side in the present war. The same thing has happened in every war of the century. The British Con- sul at New York has made public the statement that many are constantly applying to him. either personally or by letter, to enlist on t-he British side, and though he cannot enrol them the number who have applied is over 5,000. It was so in the Ameri- can civil war_ Canadian sympathies were then largely with the South, and many Canadians fought in the South- ern armies, but probably tive times as many took part onthe Northern side. It is said there were 40,000 Canadians and other British subjects in the Northern armies at that time. Sheer love of adventure or want of something else to do leads many to enlist who may nos care very much on which side they iight.
