WAR ITEMS.
(From Canadian 'Papers, }
The "Times" Complains. The Times complains of needless censorship and concealment. It cites the fact thai nuthing has yet transpired to show how Gen. Gatacre came in lose 600 men at Stormberg.
Boers Nervous.
A dispatch from the front represent the liners as in a nervous condition and constant dread of the British advance, but this is probably an exaggeration. Capetown dispatches complain of the inadequacy of the hospital arringe
ments.
Cost of the War.
It is now estimated that the war will cost at least eighty million pounds and it is suggested that the sinking fund of the, national debt should be suspended for five or six years in order to defray the cost.
The United States and the Seizures.
We
"It is satisfactory," says the Time: editorially this morning, to hear that the Washington government is acting with regard to the Am- erican cargoes seized in Delagna Bay should have wished and expected. It is a matter of course that we shall make full re- paration, if reparation is proved to be due. In the aneantime it may be noted, as the Ameri- cans themselves adinit, that the facts are in considerable doubt and that some of them Beem to be rather compraising to the vessels seized. There will be time enough to talk law and the policy of the step when the facts have Been authoritatively ascertained."
Prisoners Threatened, The Transvaal government, ackonling to information supplied by. Boer sympathizers, threatens to "reduce the rations of British pri
if Great Britain stops the entrance of fund by Delagoa Bay,"
soners,
The Situation. Mr. Heary Spencer Wilkinson, the Morning Pois military expert, in a review of the situa tion tri-day says: The time las apparently arrived for the nation to insist, if not upon a military dictatorship, at least upon the admis sion into the cabinet of a militaiy minister en
powered to vele any propels detrimental to the successful prosecution of the war, and also that the administration of the amy shall be placed wholly in the hands of a tried military administration."
The Boers at Colenso.
LONDON, December 20th. The Daily Mail publishes a dapatch from Pietermaritzburg, dated December 23rd, which
says:
Every day reveals some new fat regarding the strength of the Boer position at Colenso. Thanks to the services of the Continental officers, the character of the camp again has changed.
"We are no longer fighting a fue who relies upon guerilla tactics, but we have to deal with what is rapidly becauing a disciplined army enjoying the advantages of knowing the country: and of selecting the scene of contest without the birdens of a cumbersonic commissarat.
"The Boers have converted the ale hills near Colensoiuto fortresses of ithmense strength. Everywhere they have splendid trenches, many of them being bomb-proof. Tramway lines permit the shifting of guns with astonishing rapidity.
The main positions are connected with the outlying positions by underground passages and the forts proper hristie with machine guns, that command the approaches. Probably mines
are laid.
One hears less nowadays about Boer shell not bursting Observers of the Colenso fight say the Boer's shells were very effective. This is due largely to the fact that the distances are marked off with white paint.
"The enemy's discipline is improving. The trenches represent great manual labour for which the Boers have a keen dislike, and the way in which they restrained their fire when our troops were advancing is another proof of Improved soldiering,"
A correspondent of the Daily Newer at Frere Camp announces that a
tramway
is being constructed from the railway to a hill commanding the Boer position, and that along this the British will convey heavy guns.
A Ladysmith dispatch, dated Wednesday, December 20th, says the leat was then intense, being 104 degress Fah. in the shade. There were many cases of enteric fever in the town at that time, but not enough là cause alarm, On the other hand Boer pources on the conti- ment assert that, typhoid fever is epidemic in Ladysmith.
Shelling Ladysmith. CHIEVELEY CAMP, Natal, Dec. 27th.
.
A heavy Boer gun ou Bulwbang hill fired steadily on Ladysmith throughout the moming. Ladysmith did not respond.
The enemy having been detected again attempting to improve their trenches facing Gen. Builer, the British heavy guns opened upon them, and the Bores scampered back into the hills.
"The British patrols sighted the enemy in force on our extreme left. Nine Boers were killed in a skirmish that followed, and six Boer wagons were captured.
Boers Talk of e Compromise.
DURDAY NATAL, December 23th. Mr. Winston Churchill says that from con versation with members of the Transvaal execu. tive at Pretoria, he learned that the Beers began the war with trepidation, but that President. Kruger is now confident Great Britain will soon sue for peace.
In the highest Transvaal circles, Mr. Chur chill asserts, there is serious talk of a compro- mise by which Great Britain would cede the territory now occupied by the armies of the two republics; pay an indemnity of twenty million pounds and acknowledge the complete Independence of the Transvent
For Dependants of Canadians,
MONTREAL, December 28th.- The following cablegram: from Strathcona, dated Lendon, to-day, lies been received by Premier Laurier; "A. C. Harnsworth, of the London Daily fail, han.handed me a check for 1,000 as a donation from the Kipling poom fund for depandants of the Canadian con tingent. He states that it is sent in recognition of Canada's prompt and ningnificent response to the call of the Mother Country to her chil dren. The cheque will be transmilled through the Bank of Montreal"
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1900.
Canadiqua for South Africa.
OTTAWA, December 28th, It is understood that Lieut.-Col Steele, superintendent of Northwest Mounted Police, who recently returned from the Yukon, will be appointed to command the two Northwest squadrons of the second contingent.

Postoffice Emyloyees.

When Mr. Mulock returned from Toronto yesterday morning he found a cable waitingHadson, LI. A. K. him accepting the offer which he had previous ly made. The result will be that five trained hands of the department will be sent to South Africa to represent Canada.
The postmaster-general had a long conference with Lord Minto at Rideau Hall this forenoon and doubtless the whole matter was talked over and a reply sent to Mr. Chamberlain.
At a meeting of the cabinet later Mr. Mulock laid his proposition before his colleagues.
The negotiations are carried on through the Militia Department and War Office
OTTAWA, December, 28th.
The Minister of Militia has accepted the offer of Capt. Howard, of gatling gun fame to ac company the second contingent to South Africa. He will have charge of the Maxim gun, equipp- ed on a light carriage, which will allow of its being galloped into and out of action with the inounted rifles.

The Seizure of Flour.
|
|
NEW YORK, December 28th. Exporters of flour in New York are greatly interested in the recent seizure by Great Britain of certain four cargoes, and the reports that England has seized or will seize Deligna Hay. They are seeking the opinion of experts in international law regarding the four seizures,
The Tribune says the Washington officials express confilence that the British government will
make full reparation for any act committed by its naval agents if it turns out to have been illegal or unjustified. It seems that antong the ines for contraband of war lopted by the United States last year is one which says the a among the articles conditionally contraband are provisions when destined for an enemy's ship or ships, or for a place besieged. Some attorneys think that if England can prove she is conducting a cangaign of reduction and ultimately contemplates the investment of Johanne worg or Pretoria, she can rightly clain | that kuge shipments of fur and allier food stuffs destined for Transvaal cities me for the aid and comfort of the enemy.
An Investigation.
WASHINGTON, December 28th. The work of ascertaining the facts connected with the seizure of American flour by British warships has been confided to the United States. Consular Agent at Lorenzo Marquez Under instructions sent by Secretary Hay yesterday lie will ascertain all the facts con- nected with the case, and particularly the names of the persons to whom this four was consigned and the actual ownership of the
goods.
