A. STOWAWAY ON THE ** MALACCA.”
DESERTING THE ROYAL WELCH FUSILIERS,
SHANGHAI, 1st November.
At the Brish Police Court yesterday morn- lag, before Mr. E, H. Burrows, a diminutive fellow, desoribed as Thomes Thompson, but whose real name is Sharkey, was brought up on a warrant charged with stowing himself away on the P. & O. Steamer Alalacca contrary to the Merchant Shipping Act.
Captain Andrews, of the Nalacca, stated that the chief officer reported a stowaway to have been seen on deck shortly after the steamer left Hongkong on the 22nd instant, He had the man brought before him, and on arriving in Shanghai, reported the matter to the Company, and a warrant was applied for. On returning to the steamer from the P. & office he found the man had left the ship.
On the Captain being confronted with the man in charge, it was found that he was not the stowaway the Captain had seen aboard the ship, although the prisoner admitted having atowed away. He said there were others, but he himself had not appeared on deck,
Inspector Hadley, called, said that he was a Sergeant of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and at present dtill instructor to the police force. He identified the accused as a deserter from the regiment. His name was Sharkey. Witness last saw accused three months ago in his regiment in Hongkong.
His Worship said that as far as the charge under the Merchant Shipping Act goes lie was justified in dealing with the sccused as a stow- away. There was, however, a more serious matter as the accused had been identified as a deserter from one of Her Majesty's regiments. He was satisfied on investigation that the accused was a deserter and his duty was to band him over to the Senior Officer on this station. Ilis Worship then ordered accused to be detained in custody, until he had con municated with that officer.--S. D. Press,

THE MILITARY SITUATION, South Africa, the Tives that before the In an article on the Military Situation in end of last month there will be nearly 22,000 troops in South Africa, most of which will be under the command of Sir George White in Natal. The next step is to mobilize an army corps, and possibly a cavalry division and addi- tional troops for the line of communications, An English Army corps in this country
is prac- tically a schedule of widely-scattered units, to which mobilization points have been assigned and for which certain stares are maintained. Inclusive of supply and medical services, the total number of men is,
is, roughly, 35,000, with
84 guns, 10,000 horses or pack animals, and 1,700 vehicles. The authorized war strength of a cavalry division is about 6,700 officers and men, with 12 guns, 6,600 horses and pack ani- mals, and 456 vehicles. The mobilization of an army corps and a cavalry division would there- fore imply the provision of about 41,700 officers and men, 96 guns, 16,600 animals, and 2,150 vehicles, exclusive of troops for the line of communications. When the various units of our army corps have assembled and enquip. ped themselves at their scattered centres, they have to be brought to various points on the coast and embarked in extemporized transports of varying capacity. The larger units must be separated from each other and from their transports. The transport itself must be spe cialized-and-many-thousands of mules-and- bullocks must be bought. After disembarcation at a South African port of ports the real orga nization of the transport must begin.

it is certain that a man of his calibre is not sent to Peking unless there are very in ́portant matters to be dealt with. It is very noticeable, too, that Mr. Kato, lately Japanese Minister to England, is at Feking at the present moment, and there are about forty Japanese military students there, on a holiday visit to the Chinese capital. It would seem as if Japan were taking our place in the gap between Russia and China, now that our hands are full in South Africa. Whatever her designs are, we cannot but wish the plucky little Island Empire success.

Unless a large reinforcement froni Cape Colony presents itself, the article continues, the ictal fighting force of the Boer cannol really exceed $5,000 men. When the great distances the long lines of communication to be guided, the impossibility of denuding Cape Colony of troops, and the imperative necessity of checking any native rising are taken into account, the British force of 68,000 men, above assumed, seems by no means excessive, Every consideration, political and military, demands that operations, if necessary, should be rapid and decisive. Initial checks or small apparent reverses must be carefully avoided.
Insult and Outrage.
A correspondent of the Cape Times, writing from Pietermaritzburg, gives an account of some incidents of a journey from the Rand to the Natal capital. A Boer snatched a baby from the arms of its mother with the object of provoking the father. Burghers poked rifles through the windows of the railway carri- ages for the purpose of frightening the wo LIGHTENING THE BURDENS OF THE PEOPLE. men.

A VISIT TO OOM PAUL AND HIS WIFE.
A correspondent of the Pail Mall Gasette gives the following interesting and instructive Account of an interview with the Boer Pre- sident:
I was passing through Pretoria only two months since, writes a well-known Natalian lady, when I was seized with an overwhelming desire to see President Kruger. So I called on Mrs, wife of a prominent Landdrost, or magistrate, who is a relation and on intimate torms with the Kruger family, and asked her if she could secure me the

"Most cortainly," she said, and off we went to the modest little bungalow of Oom Faul. Wait outside," she said, " and I will go in and bring hica out," She knocked at the door, which was answered by a grandson of the President. That struck me as somewhat infra dig, for a Presidency, but worse was to follow. "Mrs. Kruger is not seeing any one to-day," the grandson said. "Oh nonsense! my friend replied, "she always sees me. I'll just go in and see what's wrong." After a few moments the returned." Mrs. K. is in a vile temper," she smiled. "She is at present dusting out the dining-room, preparatory to a meeting of

manner at Paarde Kraal station. A Boer struck one in the mouth with the butt-end of his rifle, and hit another lady in the throat with his fist, causing intense pain. A gentleman from Johannesburg was an eye-witness of the brutal treatment of Britishers by Boers at Kroonstad. A crowd of famished passengers, he says, rushed to the station restaurant, but found that all the provisions had been commandeered. Fifty nien thereupon proceeded into the town, but were attacked in the street by eight mounted burghers, who charged and thrashed them unmercifully with leathern sjamboks, driving them back to the train. A number of them bore weals on their faces, and many were streaming with blood Some Britishers in the train who remonstrated were called "cursed rooineis,"
Refugees, who are still leaving the Transvaal by thousands weekly an Oct 5th tell stories on all hands of outrage, insult, and spoliation by the Boers, who are behaving like semi-savages. They crowd the sutions, hustle, grip and strike the refugees, not sparing women or children, pointing rifles at them, and shaking cartridges in their faces. Their language betrays a state of mind bordering on frenzy. At times
they are quite childish. These are the people with whom the advocates of peace tell us that the unarmed British population should live amicably. A new generation has grown up since Majuba, without the rough virtues of their fathers. They have been assiduously taught to hate the English, and the teaching has borne terrible fruits.

MINE EXPLOSION.
A serious explosion, says the Rangoon Times occurred the other day in one of the coal mines at Khost worked by the North-Western Railway and situated on the Sind-Peshin section of that line. About fifty workmen were in the mines at the time, including the supervising stat, and all these are believed to have been killed. The mine caught fire at midday, and the explosion followed, blowing up a portion. A relief train was sent from Sharsh, the nearest centre, with medical aid. The superintendent of the mine. was a European, and the miners employed were mostly Pathans and Baluchis. Some thirty, burnt or suffocated bodies have already been recovered. Mr. Humfries, deputy chief engineer of the frontier section of the North-Western Railway has gone out to the scene of the ralamity.

THE LATE MR. WHEATLEY.
- The following is an extract from a letter by the Chairman of the British North Borned Co., of date 15th Sept.:-It was with feelings of the greatest possible regret that the Court received your telegram of the 13th inst., announcing the death of Mr. J. G. G. Wheatley, at Koyah, on the 5th idem, it was known, that he had been out of health for some little time, but it was scarcely anticipated that his illness would prove fatal. His death will be deeply regretted throughout the territory, where he had earned the respect and esteem of all sections of the community The Court are deeply sensible of the loss they have sustained. Death has de prived them of the services of a zealous, ener- getir, and painstaking official: one who threw his whole heart into any work that was en- trusted to him, and who invariably carried it out successfully. His place will, indeed, be difficult to fill. They desite that you will con- vey to Mrs, Wheatley and his parents an ex- pression of their sincere sympathy,
