North of line may be said to have materialised, the Zambesi the line exists only on paper and in the imagination of Mr. Rhodes,
This change in sentiment or development of hidden feeling may be due to the Spanish Influence that prevailed and perhaps still exists in the island. There was a small Spanish gar rison at San Luis d'Apra, the principal town, when Captain Henry Glass, commanding the cruiser Charleston, which was convoying the ariny transports Cinto is harbour June Peking, Australia and City of Sydney,

This Spanish force of six officers and filty. four enlisted men' was taken away, on United States ships to Manila, but whether any of its members returned to Guam after peace was declared is not known here. Some" of the en- listed men had families in Guam and may have gone back there to live instead of availing themselves of the privilege of being transported back to Spain at the expense of the United States.
Order were sent also by the Navy Depart ment to-day for the dispatch of another batta lion of marines to Cavite, a naval station near Manila. These orders are the outcome of a request from Admiral Watron for marines-to serve in the island of Cebu.-S. F. Call
FROM CAPE TO CAIRO BY RAIL
IY W. T. STEAD.
In the October Windsor I complete my sketch of the Cape to Cairo Railway After describing the extension from Cairo to Khart oum, I discuss the probable route beyond Khartoum -
The ultimate route of the Khartoum railway is uncertain. Originally, the idea was enter tained of carrying it along the Nile valley through Fashoda to Sobat where the trunk line. from the south was to have effected a junction. More careful examination of the proposed line of route has compelled a modification of this scheme. It is more likely that the railway will be deflected eastward, and, like the tele- graph, will skirt the western frontiers of Abyssinia. There is also some talk of building the much discussed Suakim Khartoum branch ; but at present the notion is not to cross the desert to Berber, but to trend southward by Kassala. Suakim is undoubtedly the sea-gate of the Egyptian Souden; and a line of a few hundred miles in length has always an enormous pull over its rival whose haulage exceede, a thousand miles.
SEA-BIDINGS OF THE MAIN LINE. Pointing out that railways without seaports. are like plants without roots, I indicate the contemplated lines of communication with the sea between Alexandria and Cape Town. The. only port in actual touch by rail with the route is Beira, which is the natural seaport of Rhodesia, and which will, when Portugal sells her colonies, pass with Delagoa Bay into the hands of the English, The ribs, so to speak, which it is hoped will branch forth from this backbone of the African railway system, are two on the west, five on the east
To the West coast there is at present talk of two railways, one crossing German territory 10. the British port of Walfish Bay, the other stretching across the Conga Free State, which would unite the Atlantic with Lake Tangan yika. The railways from the East Coast which will feed the great trunk line are as follows:-
(1) The Natal railways, which start from Dure ban and at present terminate in the Transvaal,
(2) The Delagoa Bay railway, starting from the port of that name in Portuguese territory and terminating like the Natal railways in the Transvaal.
The right of way through German territory is a point which remains as yet unsettled.-- Review of Reviews.
THE ABANDONMENT OF VRYBURG.
All idea of defending Vryburg was abandoned on October 15. The loyal British residents fled, and the renegade Dutch are said to have received the Boers warmly. At three o'clock on October 15 the magistrate announced to a large crowd, consisting chiefly of farmers, that the police had decided to retire, that the Volunteers would be dishanded, and that any who might choose to accompany the police would be allowed to do so. Inmediately on the refugees leaving, people started off at full gallop to inform the Boers.
Assistant-Commissioner Major Scott, ad- dressed the police and Volunteers, After explaining the situation he asked those who were willing renait and fight to step forward. Only six men responded to this appeal. The police expressed the opinion that though willing to fight, they had no chance against artillery.
Major Scott informed the magistrate of this, and the police rode out of the town, following the exodus of the townspeople, who were mostly English. Broken-hearted at his inability to de- fond the town through the disloyalty and treachery of the inhabitants, he shot himself on the same day.
In Major Scott we have lost a brave officer who is very much regretted by all who knew him and whilst applauding the heroism which prompted his mistaken action-we could have wished that he had remembered that brave men at this juncture can ill be spared and his experience and knowledge of the coun try would have been an invaluable addition to the local defence at either Mafeking or Kim- berley. But we treat his memory with reveren. ce as one who preferred death to disgrace and a premature grave defore cowardly surrender.
NAMES.
The origin of the names of some of the towns in Cape Colony and Natal which are at present so prominently attracting public atten- tion, are of interet Durban is named from Sir Benjamin Durban, who was Governer of the Cape in 1834. Grahamstown and Harrismith are named respectively from military comman- dersColene! Graham and Colonel Sir Harry Smith, Caledon, Beaufort, Somerset, and Cradock, are named from former Governors the Earl of Caledon, Lord Charles Somerset, and Sir John Cradock (Lord Howden), The towns of Ladysmith, Port Elizabeth, and Lady Grey, are called after the wives of Cape Governors. Kimberley is named after the Earl of, Kimberley, who was Colonial Secretary from 1870 to 1874, when that town advanced from the position of a mushroom camp to that of a permanent mining centre.

~ Nile below Khartoum, it is possible to travel when the Nile is high 450 miles from Khar- toum to Fashoday and if the floating vegetation could only be cut through by steamer and the waterway kept clear, he might go by boat to south. By thas utilising both river and lakes, Albert Nyanza, which le 710 miles lattor the distance to be covered by rail would be reduced to a little more than 1,000 miles. Mr. Rhodes's Iden is, however, to carry the railway the whole distance, so as to avoid transhipment. and to escape the malarious marshes between Khartoum and thebert Nyanta

The essential and distinctive characteristle of the Cape to Cairo line is that, almost for the first time in the history of the British Empire, the piecemeal efforts of widely separated work ere are visibly harmonised into a stupendour
