Boers had evacuated all their positions around Senekai.Numbers of them appear to have gone towards Eiceslmrg and the remainder in the direction of Bethlehem.The British commanders express the opinion that the retirements of the Boers foreshadows a speedy end of the war in this section of the country New York, July 10.Mr.1.N.Ford cables the Tribune from London this morning : There are indications that the African campaign is drawing to a close.Lord Roberts’ official report yesterday was highly encouraging.General Hutton and Colonel Mahon have been driving back the Boers in the Transvaal.Steyn and the rem nants of De Wet’s commandoes were retreating from Bethlehem and Limmer.and had been thwarted in a counterstroke at Rusten-burg.Lord Roberts’ campaign is drawing to a close, and a large

‘The officier commanding at Heil-bron (Orange River Province) reports that State Attorney Dickson and members of the council Yan-tander and Kuppervergen came in yesterday and surrendered.HUTTON IN A FIGHT.Hutton was attacked yesterday in a position he was holding by a large number of Boers, lie cut them off without much difficulty, tlie five inch guns with him being found most useful.Our only casualty was Lieutenant Young of the First Canadian J/ounted Troops, slight sculp wound.The enemy left several wounded on the ground and sent a flag of truce with a request that they might be received in our field hospitals.OFFICERS KILLED.*1 regret to say that Captain Currie and Lieutenant Kirk, of the Imperial Light Horse, who were reported wounded in my telegram of yecterday were both killed.One squadron of this distinguished corns pressed a very severe force of tin* enemy in a gallant attempt to carry off a wounded comrade,to which they attributed the heavy loss sustained.In addition to the officers, a farriersergeant and three troopers were killed, and the sergeant-major, three sergeants and seven troopers wounded.” SKIRMISH AT BROENKERSPRUIT.The following despatch from Lord Roberts was received at the War Office, previous to the above : Pretoria, Sunday, July S As the enemy for some days had been threatening our line of railway by trying to get round our right flank.1 despatched Hutton.July 5, with mounted infantry, to reinforce Mahon, and with orders to drive the Roers to the east of Broenker-spruit.These orders were effectually carried out during Friday and Saturday by Mahon, who was attacked by some three thousaiidmen with six guns and two Maxims.Our casualties \s ere : Wounded two officers, including Captain NVlIes, of tin* Canadian Mounted | Rifles, slightly, and twenty-six men.I “Steyn left Bethlehem on tin night of July 1, for Fourie^burg, betw een Bethlehem and Ficksburg, accompanied by Christian De W et and other Free State commanders, with troops reported numbering 3,000 men.HANBURY HELD OUT.“Hanbury-Traey, commanding at Rustenburg, reports that a part y of Boers under Lunmer, called on him yesterday to surrender the town and garrison.Hanbury-Tracv replied that he held Rusten-burgh for Her Majesty's Government, and intended to continue to occupy it.The enemy then fired with artillery, and tried to take the heights commanding the tow n, but din not succeed, owing to the I good arrangements made by Han-oury-Traey and his officers.Kven-jtuaflythey were driven off with the assistance of Holdsworth and his hussars, who made a rapid march IS miles from the neighbor-| : hood of Zeenist, with the bushinen ! under Colonel Auric, on hearing , Rustcnburgh was likely threatened.The enemy suffered heavily and five men were captured.Our : casualties were two men killed and and one officer and three men wounded.AN AFRIKANDER DEMAND.i Cape Town, July 9.—At a meeting of Afrikander women here to day, called to protest against the annexation of the republics to the British Empire and the punish ment of the rebels.Mrs.olive Schreiner Cronw right denounced the British policy.She said ; “It the republics are annexed, it the Afrikanders are appressed, i>eace is impossible.” DISSATISFIED WITH KRUGER.It is reported here that President Kruger’s retention of large amount of gold at Machadodoi p has created the utmost diseontet among the office!sand men.They ex|H*eted substantial rewards for championing Boer interests, but have received nothing.It is added that visiting foreigners who have subsequently advocated intervention, are believed to have received sub stantial sums.Proofs, it is further asserted, have been discovered in Pretoria which promises startling developments.A BOER BOYCOTT.London, July 10, The Bond leaders at the Cape are extending their boycott of British firms, and Dutch companies with £200,000 capital have been formed.Passengers arriving at Lorenzo Marques on July 0, from Middle-burg say there has been severe fighting betw een the latter place and Maehadodorp, in which the Boers were defeated and demoralized.The Lorenzo Marques correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says under -in nnd H omnch ri r< nl> eK at Mjgi Caledonia Springs 100 ye*r*> use, h%® proved the ttiicacy of the waters.Prince Ching’ is on side of Foreigners.EMPRESS IS A LI YE AND WELL STILL IN DOUBT.London.July 11 (Special) “No authentic news from Pekin,” is still the burden of the news from the far East.All that is known is that they were safe on July 4.The allies lost heavily in fighting at Tien Tsin.A disaster was only prevented by arrival of Japanese troops.London, July 10.With the foreigners in Pekin probably sa ft* amidst civil w ar w ith Prince t hing on their side; with the powers united and their forces constantly increasing, the outlook in Uhina is now more hopeful than it has been fora month past.It appears from the cautious statement given out by Taitai Slieng in Shanghai, that the reason the heavy guns bearing on tlie legations at Pekin wen* not used is that Prince ( hang who U served by 10,000 troops, seized all the artillery ammunition.Slu ng, likewise, intimates that Yung Lu, commander-in-chief of the northern army, is associated with Prince Ching in onposing Prince Tuan's designs atui dictatorial ambition.Slieng, who appears to be the sole Shanghai conduit of Pekin new s, cheers the foreign consuls by these confidential communications, lint takes excessive precautions in prevent the* Uhiiuvsc from thinking him friendly to thq foreigners.The /'inns this morning say, however: “Some Uhinese officials are evidently desirous to have it believed in Europe that the legations in Pekin are still under the protection of one section of the Uhinese army.But that only makesit more remarkable that they should not employ the only convincing argument by allowing direct communication between the ministers and the outer world.We do not wish to insist too strongly upon this aspect, but thesecircumstantial rumors lack the eonlirma-tion so easily supplied if they arc true.” MESSAGE FROM PEKIN.Two couriers arrived at Tien Tsin on July 1 from Pekin.One brought a letter from Sir Chiude Macdonald, the British minister, to the same effect as t hat previously received from Sir Robert Hart.The couriers confirm the report of the death of Baron Von Kct-teler.They say that PrineeCliing is doing his utmost to protect the foreigners, but that the* native feeling against the whit es is strong.Two high officials onoosed to the Boxers are reported by the* couriers to have been assassinated.Sir Claude Macdonald’s is dated four days earlier than that of Sir Robert Hart.EMPRESS A DIVE.A de- p it eh to 11 e news agency here, dated lien Tsin.July 2, says ; —“The Empress Dowager, so far from being dead, is aetively striving to prevent the factions fight ing Prince Ching has informed her that he would rather lose his head than be constantly obliged to warn her of the consequence of the prolongation of the present anaichy.Prince Tuan is quite willing that Ching should be deeapitated, but the Dowager-Empress w ill not allow this.Prince Tuan has declared that he will take full responsibility.He purpose s to retake Tien Tsin and Taku.Outside of Pekin, except in the Pe Chi Li and Shan Tung country, the* pceiple arc supremely ineliff'erent.” FIGHTING AT TIEN

yesterday.During the day they paida visit to various places where “lire water is served out.It had the effect of making them feel, towards the afternoon, that they owned that portion of Canada in which Sherbrooke is situated.They went around spoiling for an encounter with some one, and made free use of the remark that there was not six Canadians in the city that they were afraid of.They took good care that these h gh sounding words were heard only by the small boy, who replied by a jeer “that they could not lick a | Mist age stamp.” Haying loaded up again, they started in this time to clear out a certain store on Wellington Street, the owner ot which is not less than six feet.They got behind the c ounter and challenged any six men to come along.The proprietor was there alone, and the men from Uncle Sam’s country were sorry they spoke.It only required one gd Canadian to quiten them, and it was indeed a couple of woe begone looking creatures that w ere assisted into the hurry-up wagon and conveyed to the cooler.This morning the city’s exchequer was increased sixteen dollars, and the brave (?) men departed by the first train, feeling that they had run up against a hard thing when they bad attempted to get the better of the Canadians.EASTERN FLYERS RECORD.Six Hours and Forty Minutes Between Montreal and Toronto TheGrand Trunk express train from the West—the Eastern Flyer—was run in two sections between T ronto and Montreal on Monday nighr, and the second section uiide the record run of six hours and forty minutes, with eleven stoppages between the two cities.The International Limited makes the run in te< en ours and twentj-tive minutes, ai d this is regarded as remarkably tine speed.Deducting five minutes for each stop—and some of them were longer than that— this flyer’s actual running time was 345 minutes for the 333 miles.This is the best record that has ever been mvde for the entire journey.The German Emperor has cabled to the Viceroys of China asking them to circulate the offer of a iiibstantial reward which he will give to persons who rescue any of the foreigners at Pekin.Sheep In Spain.In SpMn there are some 10.000,000 of migratory sheep, which every year travel as much as 200 miles from the plains to the “delectable mountains,” where the shepherds feed them till the snows descend.These sheep are known as transhumantes, and their march, resting places and behavior are regulated by ancient and special laws and tribunals dating from the fourteenth century.At certain times no one Is allowed to travel on the same route as the sheep, which have a right to graze on all open and common laud on the way and for which a road 90 yards wide must be left on all inclosed and private property.The shepherds lead the docks, the sheep follow, and the docks are accompanied by mules carrying provisions and large dogs which act as guards against the wolves.The merino sheep travel 400 miles to the mountains, and the total time spent on the migration there and back is 14 weeks.—Spectator.Pianos of highest quality will always be Pun i here ready f r you to exHtniue.Pianos reconnue .ilod by the highest musical authorities Pianos that will
