TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGRING TELEGRAFIE," DEAR SIR,-In last night issue, your leader was rather rabid, to say the least of it. By the mengre details to hand I think it is most unfair to condemn the action of these Generals. Nothing is known of Gen. Gatacre's reverse, except that he fell into a trup, like many another good man. The information he re- ceived was false, which is a thing quite likely

This was also played on the Happy Valley yesterday, The Artillery proved far too strong for the Engineer, The Artillery kicked off from the Grand Stand erid and at once commenced operations. The Engineers played up pluckily. though hopelessly out classed. Their backs did well, relieving the pressure from time to time, but the forwards seemed unable to follow it up.

to happen in that part of the Cape, which Mullsey. Jones, Perigo, Griffittse. Robinson. swarms with Dutch, all sworn enemy's of the English. To class Generals White and Gatacre with Admiral Byng is distinctly unfair. Neither of these men have been-accused of cowardice, which was the "supposed" crine of the Ad- miral's. As far as one can see General White, by subsequent events has justified the 'confi dence placed in him by the home authorities. As far as I can see, the Ladysmith disaster," would not have been, but for his junior, hoist ing the white flag on his own account. Sup posing the fight had continued and our men hud fired after its hoisting. Should we not bring ourselves down to the level of Boers? No doubt the movement at fault. General White says it was, and has taken all the blame. It would be rather hard measures to court martial and shoot him, as 1. think, subsequent events will-show.......

BOWLS.
The game of bowls proceeding between the Hongkong and German Clubs was finished last night, leaving the former Club victorious with a substantial lead, though one which, owing to the good.scores made by the Germans in the last round of the tournament was very much smaller than was, established by the long- kong Clubites the night before.

DR. GUISUMBING ON FILIPINO TACTICS.
Among the intelligent Filipinos who are “quite convinced that the insurgent cause is lost forever is Dr.. Guisumbing, who_quins into 30.80 Manila
last week and reported to the Provost Marshal." He was formerly medical, officer attached to the Maccabe battalion, under the Spanish Government, and remained at Maccabe after the Americans caue. In | October, of last year, when, everybody was supposed to be at peace, he was suddenly arrest ed by Aguinaldo's orders while on a visit to Malolos. He was kept a prisoner, for 'on ap. parent reason, coil January, when he was offered an appointment on the insurgens army medical staf, which was badly needing qualified usen. He lins since been doing hospital work, and was at Bayambang when the remnant of Aguinaldo's followers ruslied through in their fight to Mangatarem. Dr. fluisumbing elected Ho stay where he was looking after the patients in his hospital, and is glad he did so, for he finds the Americans very superior to what he was led to believe by the rebel leaders. They authorized him to keep on at his good work until his patients were well, and he has done so le says the rebels are determined to adopt guerrilla tactics; but he is sure they can. not hold out long at that as they have no further supplies of atumbuition, and they grow weaker in numbers and in induence every time they change canip 'Once they take to the mountains, the people at large will have no further enthusiasm for them and there will be nothing to support them, The only chance they had to impress the people was to keep up a brave show somehow, and now that it is utterly at an end they cannot keep going, and in spite of all efforts to drag out the “finale,” they must soon surrender-Stanila Times.

The conditions under which the match was played were that one part of the competitors should play at the H.K. Club. Whilst the other part played at the Club Germania-So four of each party visited the rival Clubs and on the second night changed over; those playing at the German Club the first night, competing the Hongkong Club last evening. The following are the complete scores:-
1st Night
If iny memory of English History is correct. Ithink we have another instance in oneofthe Sikh wars, where General Gough, met with a severe defcal, morally. Ilis auccessor was appointed and was on the way to the frons, when he re- trieved himself by a brilliant victory and instead of being court-martialled, he was mised to the Peerage. Gough lost his man in dealli, from which there is no return. White has lost his in captivity, whence there is a return. Now, General Catacre's reverse, from what know of the conditions and Boer mode of fighting, strikes me like this. He was marching at night In a bad country. - Ilis advance guard, would I should say, represents the number of missing. Now the Boers could lie Jow and let the whole column go by, in spite of flanking parties and all. A Beer can lie for hours in one position and never move; to anyone not used to them they'd look like rocks especially at night. Now, ay, they let the advance guard go by without malesting it in any way cut it off from the main body and then attacked. If this is the cusc Texpect we shall find that of those 590 missing 6,005 men, many have been killed and wounded, b
I should like to point out to you that the shooting of Admiral Byng has ever since been enndemned. You say, you are not assuming - that either are blameworthy, rather, think: you have taken for granted that they are _both__blaintwortly," without giving either of tiem, a bearing it is me to criticize these kind of things, when the facts of the case come out. Trusting I have not trespassed top much on your valuable space.
