A dispatch from De Aar, Cape Colony, dated Feb. 1?, says: "Commandant Froneman's force, about 4,000 strong, has separated from General De Wet and gone north. General De Wet is moving westward to meet Commandant Hertzog, who Is coming with a fresh supply of horses. A British officer who was taken prisoner by General De Wet at Sand Drift, but subsequently released at Hautenkraal. from which point he made his way to De Aar, asserts that he and his fei-low-prisoners were shamefully treated by the Boers. He says he saw General De Wet personally sjamboking a British officer for expostulating in reference to the treatment." The Colonial Office has received from Sir Alfred M.llner his first report regarding the bubonic plague in Cape Town. From this it appears that during the week ended Feb. 16, twenty1 cases, one European and nineteen colored, were reported, with three deaths, while 104, all colored, were quarantined because of contact with persons attacked by the disease.

In the House of Commons Mr. Brodrlek, secretary of war, replying to Mr. Mansfield (Liberal), took occasion to offer an explanation regarding the retirement of Major General Colvile. for which he (Mr. Brodrick) had been so much criticised. General Colvile, said Mr. Brodrick, was sent home by Lord Roberts for Inefficiency in the field. General Colvile was never tried, and though his case was considered on his return to England, and he was allowed to resume his command at Gibraltar, he was not exonerated from blame. Subsequently General Sir Evelyn WoodX the adjutant general, brought the Lindiey disaster to Mr. Brodrick's notice. After consultation with Lord Roberts, who advised that General Colvile should be allowed to retain his command at Gibraltar, Mr. Brodrick ordered action In accordance with this advice. Mr. Brodrick added that he understood the matter would be brought to the attention of the House later, and, therefore, he would defer a fuller statement. Replying to Mr. Redmond, Nationalist, Mr. Brodrick admitted that Lord Roberts had previously commended General Colvile, but subsequent events had necessitated his removal from the army. Replying to Mr. Dillon, Irish Nationalist. Mr. Brodrick said he had received a telegram from Sir Alfred Milner confirming the accounts of ill treatment of the natives by the Boers at Calvinia. Sir Alfred Milner said he had absolutely no doubt but that the Boers murdered the man named Esau; that he was flogged and afterward shot. Lorn Cranborne, parliamentary secretary for the Foreign Office, assured Mr. William Redmond that the Emperor of Germany had not offered to arbitrate the question of terminating the war in South Africa. Replying to a question of the cost of the war. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, said that thus far 81,500,000 of bonds had been issued, and the weekly issue was from 1,000,000 to 1,250.000. Mr. Brodrick imparted the information that the Boers In the field had recently been estimated at from 19,000 to 20,000. In January there were 16.000 Boer prisoners, and this number had since Increased. An Englishman's Frank Toast. Albans' (N. Y.) Journal. A well-known local minister who has Just returned from an extended Western trip tells the following: "Recently in Los Angeles five prominent gentlemen of foreign birth chanced to meet. One was a Russian, one a Turk, one a Frenchman, one an American and one an Englishman. These gentlemen became bosom friends, and finally a champagne supper was proposed, at which each gentleman, to be in keeping with the times, was to give a toast to his native country, the one giving the best to be at no expense for the wine. Here are.the toasts given: "The Russian: 'Here 8 to the stars and bars of Russia, that were never pulled down "The Turk: 'Here's to the moons of Turkey, whose wings were never clipped.' "The Frenchman: 'Here's to the cock of France, whose feathers were never picked.' "The American: 'Here's to the stars and stripes of America, never trailed in defeat.' "The Englishman: 'Here's to the rampin', roarln lion of Great .Britain, that tore down the stars and bars of Russia, clipped the wings of Turkey, picked the feathers off the cock of France and ran like from the stars and stripes of the United States of America. " Mr. Amrnt'i Self-Accuaatlon. Detroit Free Press. In a letter written to the New York Tribune Mark Twain reminds one of his critics that he has made no charges against the Rev. W. S. Ament. "This is the Rev. Mr. Ament's arraignment of himself," says the great satirist. Mr. Clemens is willing to retractwhenever there is an adequate basis for retraction, or to use his own words: ."Whenever he can produce from Mr. Ament an assertion that the Sun's character-blasting dispatch was not authorized by .urn; and whenever Dr. Smith can buttress Mr. Ament's disclaimer with a confession from Mr. Chamberlain, the head of the Laffan news service in China, that the dispatch was a false Invention and unauthorized. the case against Mr. Ament will fall at once to the ground. There -as been time fifty-one days to get these absolutely essential documents oy cabie. Why not get them now?" This Is the whole case very dearly and concisely stated. The charges against Mr. Ament rest upon his own statements published in the New Urk Sun. Either the Sun's Peking correspondent willfully misrepresented the missionary or Mr. Ament Is In what Mr. Clemens cal.s "an unspeakable scrape." .Movements of Stenmers. LIVERPOOL. Feb. 22.
