Charlea W illiams, the military expert, ays he learns on high authority presumably that of Iord Wolseley that "(Jen. White's force Is almost at Its last Rasp." "This Is not so much, says Mr. Williams, "on account of any lack of provisions or of ammunition, neither of which Is yet exhausted, as tiecause of the poisonous waters of the Klip river and the evil effects of the heat on the terra! u In which the garrison must reside.

It aeenis likely that a branch railway! will be built across the veldt to lesson the difficulties of transport. Col. Girotiard. who built the Soudan railway.

Ixrd Rob erts troops thus far have been only uartlally fed. It Is quite clear to technical heads that those who talk of an immediate pud rapid advance far Into the Free State do not realize the transport con ditions. The Boers, as It now appears. liave built a railway from Harrlsiulth to Krooiustadt to facilitate the movement of their troops between Natal ....t th. Free State. The Boers who ioi.i ..osttions south of ttm Orange rtver have leen weakened. MtTl'AL FELICITATIONS Her Majesty, the Ou ml lord Roberta Exchange tireetinaa. London.
