BOER WITH A STORY.

BAILS FOR SOUTH AFRICA TO POINT OUT DURIED ARMS,

The following is from a home paper for May

Amongst the passengers by the transport Orotava, which snited from Southampton for the Cape the other afternoon, was the Boer prisoner who is understood to be making the trip under escort for the purpose of pointing out to the British authorities quantities of stores, guns, and ammunition alleged to be buried on the veldt.

He took part in the operations around Ladysmith, was present attract has abandoned the hauling of the mail in the battle of Colenso, and, later, figured in the Boer attack at Spion Kop. He was eventually twice wounded in an engagement near Belfast, being picked up by the British ambulance and sent to Pretoria, whence he was transported with a number of other Boer prisoners to Bermuda It was whilst there that he made a communication to the Governor to the effect that if he were granted his liberty and free pardon he would reveal the where- abouts of hidden munitions of war. It is understood that the Governor communicated with the authorities at home, with the result that the prisoner was faken to England under military escort. Whilst waiting his sailing orders at Southampton he has been permitted a certain amount of liberty, though he has been accompanied in his walks abroad by one or two of the soldiers stationed at Southampton Convalescent Depot.

Queensland, the cost of transportation having risen from £6,000 to £30,000 annually. Sheep are dying by the millioo, continues the corres- pondent, and even the rabbits are starving. Animals have stripped the bark from the trees for. food. A common method of treating" exhausted horses is to slit the animal's palate with a knife; the horse is revived by swallo. wing his own blood. Numbers of" sundowners" and swag men have been found dead by the wayside. The Govemments are doing everything possible to alleviate these con ditions, but meteorologists despair of any change in the weather condition.

ARMY EDUCATION.

THE SENSATIONAL REPORT.

The report of the Committee on Officers, Education will, we understand, says the Glode-be shortly issued, and we are to-day in a position to give its chief opinion and recom mendations.

It is a conscientious document, which speaks the truth fearlessly.. It is a scathing condem- nation of the entire system of Army education, which is to be entirely remodelied, both as regards the entrance examinations, the courses at Woolwich and Sandhurst, and the after education of the officer.

Sandhurst is unequivocally condemned, but -both Woolwich and Sandhurst are to be re- tained, subject to sweeping alterations. In time of war the young men undergoing train ing in the military colleges and in the Militia' form practically the only reserve of subalterns. Commanding officers, too, prefer the Sandhurst

trained cadet. The

COST OF SANDHURST is only £7,850 a year to the State, and of Wool. wich £9,850. The existing state of things found at Sandhurst is strongly condemned. Quarters are dirty and untidy.. Servants over. worked, and underpaid (at 185, a week). It is, considered now a step downhill for an officer to become an instructor there. They are badly-paid, and casúpervised, and there is po inducement to excel, either for teachers or pupils. To learn to shoot at Sandhurst is an extra, and a gun club has to be joined at a cost of a term. Cadets do not clean their own rifles, but they have to pipeclay their belts.. The officers do not know enough to teach drill, and this is done by a staff-sergeant. The whole place is to be remodelled; the course extended to two years, the terms altered, and the cost reduced from £150 to £112,

SARTOR RESARTUS.

-AMUSING POLICE UNIFORM.

We have had an amusing incident in our city annals over a question of clothes writes the Wuchang correspondent of the W. C. Daily News. Those who have seen the assortment of colours that adorn the retinue of an official might think that it would be impossible to think of anything that a Chinese servant would- object to wear. As far as coats are concerned, I do not know where a line could be drawn ; but in trousers the boundary is clearly marked-the Chinese "Tommy" or "Bobby" leaves his wife in undisputed possession of red trousers. Some- body who has something to do with our new police force overlooked that fact. Who that somebody is I do not know; but a glance at the costume that has been devised for our police would quite suffice to clear the English chief of having any say in the matter. The dress seems to have been devised on the same ideas that have ruled Chinese watchmen and caused them to warn any thieves to run by the use of a clapper ar gong What the noise has done at night time a brilliant combination of red and green and white and black and blue seems to have been hit upon to do by day. The hat is adorned with

A TAWDRY BIT OF GULT like one sees on a gingerbread at home, and is topped with a nel of blue wool work like a haby's hat that one sees out here. The coat is of red bunting edged with green, and bearing a plain white square of calico, some seven or eight inches broad with the policeman's number in unadorned black. The trousers are, or rather were, of plain red bunting. The effect on the police of the first sight of the new garments was marked. At first it seemed that there would be a strike. One thing however has saved us from this calamity. The colour is net fast. On the 1st of the 5th month when the new gar- ments were donned, not one per cent. of the trousers matched the coats in colour. Somà had washed offending garments in purely Chinese style, others had tried Sunlight," yet others had boiled their breeks with soda. The result was a study in reds step by step. from the one or two unwashed full bright bunting red to the palest blushing klaki.

Many Cavalry officers, we learn, cannot write, a decent letter, and so their reports when acouting, have been confused and led whole regiments into trouble. In future, it must be possible for cadets with £200 a year to join the cavalry.

A commission in the Cavalry must be looked on as a prize for smart men of moderate means. It is possible,, they say, to get either money or brains and they mean now to have brains.
