WAR NEWD BY WIRE
(From Dutch Sources)
THE HAGUE, January 5th, Trustworthy private advices show that the British, despite their assertion to the contrary, continue to stir the Kaffisup against the Boers. Fearful deeds of cruelty committed by Kaffirs on the north-west boundary of the Transvaal are reported.

A FATAL FALL.
MY. W. Stewart, a native of Scotland, who was engineer to a rice mill at Bangkok, died mysteriously there on the roth inst. He was last seen reading a newspaper on the verandah of his house. A scream alaimed an inmate at midnight, who found that Mr. Stewart had just fallen over the verandah, a distance of about twenty-eight feet. Mr. Stewart fell on his hand and must have died at once.

Sir Redvers Duller is in no way superseded in his command. Exactly the sainé considerations apply in this instance as have operated in former stages. While the force in Natal was small a Major- General held command (General Symons). But, as soon as the number of troops exceeded that with which a major general is usually en- trusted, a Lieut-General (Sir George White) took supreme command. Then came a further increase of numbers, and a full General (Sir Redvers Buller) was sent out. Neither of these appointments was in any sense a censure on the previous holder of the position. It was in timated when General Buller was appointed that, in the unlikely event of large increases of ine force, an officer of yet higher rank might have to be employed.

A GERMAN TRIBUTE..
After the unsuccessful attempt to oust the Boers from Colenso, the conservative Berlin Post wrote:-
"We recognise the calm manner in which the British nation confront all the strokes of destiny, and the dignity with which they abs- tain from branding their generals, pursued by misfortune, as traitors, in the French fashion. We can only marvel at the herolam with which British troops in close order attempt to scale steep heighis entirely without cover, under a fierce hail of bullers. We can also only marvel at the intrepidity with which they try to force a passage through narrow mountain passes where the enemy lies concealed.
We must also
recognise be heroic example set in battle by the British officers, among whom are so many members of the English nobility. Although they knew that the Boers make a special mark of the officers they have exposed themselves with absolute contempt of death, without any cover, to the most devastating fire. The mourning in the noble houses of Britain to-day is great but the nobility can say, with pride that it has on the field of battle shown itself worthy of its privileges. One cannot help regretting that this valiant army, skilled in all branches of sport, should be decimated through circumstances connected with difficulties of climate and territory."
