BERLIN, November 5th. '
It is noteworthy that, as the day of the Emperor's departure for England approaches, the Anglophobin of the German Press in pre portionately modifisd. This is doubtless due to the obvious impropriety of vilifying a nation to whose Sovereign and people the German Emperor is shortly to pay a friendly visit. In connexion with this revuslsion of feeling it should be pointed out that the Kölnische Zeitung and the Frankfurter Zeitung have not contributed, to the Anglophobic effusions of their contemporaries.
To-day no fewer than three leading journals, among them being the Perf, which is tradition. aily Anti-English, publish articles rebutting the idea that Germany hates, or is even hostile to, England. Their main ubject, however, is tomake capital out of the situation for the Navy Bill by
skilful insinuations that Great Britain will have to reorganize her military system, hoping thereby to reconcile the German people to the necessity of a first-class fleet.
The following announcement with regard to the Samoa Agreement was issued by the Fore
although they paid the whole of the Transvaal taxes. Let it be always remembered that we did not ask for the Uitlanders one single privilege' beyond those which Dutch settlers enjoyed in the Cape Colony. One point which he could not help referring to was the possibility. The Liberid learns from its London Carres. that the Cape Dutch might sooner or later pondent that, in spite of the War Office silence, interpose in the present conflict. If they did the capture of Malekig may be considered as so that might at first be awkward for us, but it an accomplished fact. would be still more awkward afterwards for the Dutch. He confessed that he regarded with great apprehension what might be the attitude of the natives towards the vanquished when we had conquered the Boers. He had already said, and he must repeat, that in view of such a contingency the Government were not even now sending out sufficient troops to South Africa. It was probable that when our Govern- ment calculated what was necessary for this campaign they did not reckon upon so early an accidentul capture of two of our battalions, or upon possible accessions of Cape Dutch to the Boer side, or upon the possible action of the natives when our enemy was defeated; Whilst there was no serious crisis at present, we must remember that somewhat critical developments might arise. He did not himself believe that the Boers would have, ventured to go to war against the united forces and re- sources of our Empire unless they had received some friendly advice-qu te unofficially, of course (laughter and cheers) that they would fare better if they fought than if they did not Sight, and that by fighting they would afford some ground for certain other countries to interpose in the way of arbitration.

in the record of the Brigade. Afterwards the Grenadiers, the Scots Guards, and the Cold streams covered the advance, clearing conse- cutively the second and third positions of the enemy. The 9th Brigade, consisting of the Yorkshires, the Northumberlands, and their supports were especially exposed to a con centrated fire. Our artillery severely damaged the Boer laager in the rear; but the pursuing cavalry was unable to overtake the fugitives or transport. Lieut. Willough. by, of the Coldstreains, was treacherously shot from an ambish under cover of a white flag, Lieut. Blundell, of the Grenadiers, (since dead] was shot by a wounded Boer while succouring him. Especial gallantry was dis played by Major Milton, leading the Mounted Infantry, who were ambushed close to the peene of action. He supplied a trooper, whose horse was killed, with his own, and walked away under a heavy fire Chaplain Wit ministered to the wounded, careless of personal danger. The Beer rout was complete. Their losses are estimated as equal to ours. The prisoners say that they did not believe, before the fight, that all the armies of Europe could drive them out, The Boers used some Dum Dum bullets.
SOUTH AFRICA ITEMS,
THE DISAPPOINTMENT ON THE BOERS THEIR FAILURE TO CRUSH A SMALLER BRITISH FORCE.
A special cable from London to the English. man states that well authenticated reports are published of the widespread and growing dis satisfaction in the Boers ranks, which is assuming an aggressive aspect. They were led to expect a comparatively easy task in overwhelming the British forces in South Africa. The determined and successful resist- ance offered, and the failure of their plans, especially of their rushing tactics in Natal, have disheartened the greatly. Most strenuous efforts were made to bring the fullest available forces to bear at the outset, with the idea of Brit-inflicting crushing defeats upon the British before reinforcements arrived. Even children of thireteen years of age were compelled to take up arms. Now dysentery has broken out, and large numbers are said to be incapacited from this cause,

LONDON, November 5th. Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Natal, is strongly fortified with heavy guns placed on heights commanding the approaches to the
town.
Another special telegram to the Englishman states that the Boers are using every induce ment to influence Afrikanders in the Cape Colony to rebel, and to throw in their lot with thom. Particularly imposing demonstrations have been made at Colesberg by the Boer Com- mandant, and the strongest appeals have been addressed to the Colonial Burghers to come out and join the Boer forces. God was declared to be with them; and everywhere their efforts were said to have been crowned with victory. The Boers are preparing 19 retire from Ladysmith.

The hall was soon sent back to the Club quatter where after some tricky play in front of goal it: was sent through for a fourth time.

There is no doubt that the best tearn won, as the "R.W.F. continually got through the defence and peppered the goal unmercifully.
