HAMBURG LETTER.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]

Hamburg, 15th Apríl.

At the risk of repenting much of what your readers may already have seon in other now papers I purpose giving them a short resume of the latest publication (the second) of the General Staff in Berlin on the war in South Africa, haginning with the landing of Lords Roberts and Kitelenor at the Cupe and ent- ing with the capture of Bloomfontein. A fow pages of criticism are wilded to each chapter, which I do not feel competent to discus, but which I do not think I ought to pass over altogether. An ever-rearring reproach to the British officers and men is that of want of watch. fuluess and of remisstess in reconnoitring, |

But before the spectators had had time to fully realise the danger of the situation tho dust raised by the hools of several thousand horses had cleared away, revealing the three brigados raforming in the rear of the position so lutoly copied by the enemy. The writer considers this charge one of thy most romartuble incidents of the war, it being the first and only time that a large body of cuvalry was launched against infantry. The signal success of the movement he thinks warrants the conclusion that, in spite of the long range of modern firearms, occasions may arise when masses of horse may still be used with advantage,

The retreat of General Cronje along the Modder River towards Paurdeborg which follow- ed the relief of Kimberley, is told at length, but. the history of it is so well known that I need

not dwell upon it here. The Berlin critic is of
