-;---- ■ Transvaal War. Methuen is near the Modde r River. The Boer force that invested Kim* berley has left there and is inarching south to meet the British advance.

Philippine War, From Manila comes a sea story that for graphic detail and. stirring heroism surpasses fiction. The transport Manauense, with American troops aboard, was struck by a typhoon while en voyage to Manila. Part of the crew had deserted at Honolulu, considering the vessel unseaworthy. To add to the misfortunes, the engines broke down, thus rendering useless the refrigerating and distilling plants; then the ship sprung a leak and the pumps failed to work. Every man and officer on board bailed water for twelve days, during the last seven of which,the only food on board consisted of hard tack; the only drink, whisky and beer. The bailing buckets were smashed and then barrels and boxes were used. The water in the hold at times was up to the men’s necks. The assistant engineer is under arrest and charges are made against the engineer. High School Lecture Course, 18991900, Slayton’s Jubilee Singers, December 1st. Col. H. W. J.
