identified as that of Private fones and a spili- tary funeral according to the rites of the Church of England was held on Saturday afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Vallings. One eye was missing and the trunk bore other marks of foul play, apparently knife cuts. However, there seems to have been some doubt as to the identity of deceased at the time, as some of his comrades. stated that the body did not bene the tattoo | marks which Junes was know to possess.
Yesterday morning another body was found which was immediately recognised as that of Jones, Now the deceased Jordan, who was in ferred on Saturday lost, was a Roman Catholic whilst Jones was a Protestant, and fresh funerals must, therefore, ho necessary. Both men were natives of Romney, near Cardiff.
We learn that Mr. Gompertz adjourned the Police Court, after. balf-an-hour's sitting this afternoon and went to the cemetery in connec tion with the exhumation. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery and it appears only too probable that there has been foul play of some sort. The Authorities appear to have at first treated the matter lightly' and this only serves to bear out our former contention of the neces sity of public enquiries into the events con- nected with the accidental or sudden death of any soldier.

Tong Tai was accused of the murder of Fong Wei, a carrying coolie. Mr. Pollock prosecut- ed and Dr. Ho Kai defended. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the following jury were entpannelled.
Phillip Miller, Ferdinand Albert Carl Hahn, William George Winterbourne, Joseph Henry Underwood, William Bradley Walker, Thomas Davey Donaldson, and Horace Edgar Willmer, Mr. Pollock in addressing the jury said that the case was of a very simple character, a wit ness would be called, who was employed in a druggists shop at 117 Praya West who would tell them that sometime on the 24th of October last he went out to engage some carrying coolies to carry some cargo from the docks to the shop; he engaged twelve men amongst whom were the prisoner and, the deceased. There were over a hundred packages to be, carried. At first everything went smoothly but after a certain quantity of packages had been carried there was some wrangle between the pri soner and the deceased and älmost immediately after the wrangling commenced the prisoner, who had a bamizin his hand, struck the deceas ed a heavy blow with it on the top of the head. The witness would tell them that the deceased did not strike the prisoner, but that he had in fact no weapon of any suit in his band. The witness when this was done came forward and laid hold of the prisoner and a few minutes after, a district watchman coming up, he handed over the prisoner to the watchman, who then said "I have struck him I will pay for his life if he dies" and the prisoner at that time had the bamboo in his band. The watchman had the deceased who was unconscious put into a chair and taken to the Hospital; the deceased never seems to have allied in an way or lo have recovered consciousness but died some three hours after being struck.
Dr. Bell would tell them, the Crown Prosecutor said, that he had made a postmortem examina. tion and the cause of death was a fracture of the skull which might have been caused by the bamboo produced. The prisoner on being charged at the police station declared that he nd struck the deceased by accident; against this statement the jury had to set the fact that on being arrested he inade the statement that he would pay for the life if the deceased died, Dr. Bell would also tell them that the blow must have been delivered with- considerable violence to have caused the fracture from which the deceased died, and it seems impossible that such a blow could be delivered by accident.
The prisoner would have the advantage of being defended by his learned friend Dr. Ho Kai who would, he had no doubt, place before the gentlemen of the jury any facts which would be favourable to the prisoner.

THE WAR.
observe favours us with the following n teresting remarks on the war:--
A FORECAST. Delagoa Bay is undoubtedly of very great strategical importance in considering, au uffen
sive campaign against the Transvaal.
If it were possible, pn the present occasion, to utilize it as a base from which operations could be conducted, the effect would be neutralization, to a great extent, of the Free State. The mail lely of the Boers about Ladysmith would then be taken in Hank and rear, their communications wild be cut, and they would be compelled to raise the siegeof Ladysmith, leaving the garriso of the hitter place free to harass their rear. In fact they would be between two Bres, unless they were able to follow Napoleon's tacties of defeating his opponents in detail before they could effect a jouction.
A column light be detached from Delages Bay to seize their base of supplies at Pretoria, and provided, numbers were available, the campaign brought to an early termination.

For instance America and Spain are supplying us with mules,-food, transport and teamsters. The Transvaal cannot insist on the neutrality of other states, because they do not recognize it as an independent state. But the Free State is somewhat on a different footing It is possible therefore to imagine that Delage Bay may be at our disposal and that the military authorities wish this to be kept secret f the present, and with this end in view may be inaking a fint of concentration to the North of Cape Colony,
FRANCE AND CHINA.
The Universal Gazette says that on the 2nd ist. the French Representatives at l'eking called on the Ministers of the Tsungli Yaman at that office and had a conference with i're- sidents Chao Suchian, and Wang Wenshas, Vice President lisu Chingcheng, and Director Yuan Chiang. The French Diplomat seemed in a state of excitement and the subject of the meeting is believed to be a weighty one, though it has not leaked out. This, we believe, was evidently in connection with the recent collision between French and Chinese at Kwangchow.

able force, say 20,000 mean may be despatched to relieve Ladysmith which will enable the Harrism to assume the offensive in a northerly direction, driving the investing Boers out of
Natal and across the border:
The remainder of the available forces for offensive operations, say 25,000 meh may be
divided into two columns. One, of inconsider able size, comparatively, to relieve the Western garrisons and finally concentrate at Mafcking, The other, consisting of the bulk of 2 Divisions of the Army Corps recently landed or landing, concentrating in the North of Cage Colony, pros bably at De Aar and Queenstown, may advance through the Free Stafe, remaining the railway as they got so as to facilitate communication with the base.
In any advance from the South, the Fres State must be occupied concurrently with the advance of the Eastward and Westward co- lungs to ensure mutual safety.
If this forecast should prove to be substantially correct, we may expect to see, before the final advance on Pretoria, concentration near New. castle, at Malcking, and at some point near the Northern border of the Free State, perhaps. at Heilbrun or Kronstad,
COMMENTS ON SATURDAY'S NEWS.
It is strange with what tenacity our military authorities hold on to the armoured train although it has been shewn, by experience, to be not only of little use, but productive of actual and unnecessary loss. It is doubtful whether it was ever of adequate use, even in Egypt in 1882, but it certainly does not seem to be safe to employ it against an active, mobile, and cunning for.
Its advantages are that it is mobile, but only in a fixed direction and only so long as the rails remain intact. It can also carry considerable weight, and its crew are protected from rifle fire. But it can be ambushed, derafted, is an
