The Singapore papers received yester- day call attention to the substitution in the Army Estimates for this year of sixty European Artillerymen in place of the company of Asiatic Artillery hitherto borne on the strength of the Straits Settlements' garrison. The change has not as yet been made. The company of Sikh Artillerymen are still in Singa- "pore, and are in receipt of pay although not in the estimates, and the additional number of European Artillerymen have. not arrived yet, and there is no word of them so far. It is suggested that the Sikhs will probably be transferred to the Malay Federation as the nucleus of a small force of Imperial artillery to be formed for service there. If that is not the object of the change, what is? It can hardly be that the Asiatic Artillery are not deemed suitable for the work, for, if so, there would have been some indication of a similar substitution here where we have four companies, and there is very much greater need of an effective artillery force here than in the Straits. For our own part we should like to see the Singapore company sent up here and added to our The strength. for fighting purposes. garrison is not strong enough as it is.

The situation at the Cape appears to be rapidly assuming a critical aspect. Dr. JAXRSON's insane folly and the cowardice and ineptitude of the Johannesburgers haa united all the men of Dutch descent in the Transvaal, in the Orange Free State and in the Cape Colony, in a league of hatred and distrust towards everything English, and has revived all the bitter feelings of the past that under Sir HERCULES ROBINSON's skilful management were so rapidly, to all appearance, dying out. The two Dutch republics are said to have entered Into treatles offensive and defensive, and are, it is said, armed to the teeth. They are looking out for allies beyond the limits of Africa, If they have not already secured them. The Matabales, conquered only the other day, but unsubdued, and evidently well supplied with arms, are in open revolt in immense through that vast tract of country are. barely able to hold their own. Help is coming to them, but very slowly and from an enormous distance. On the other hand, it would appear as if, in England, the country had been thoroughly roused the necessities of the case.
