A NEW PLAN ‘OF CAMPAIGN- It is evident that ‘the turning. point in the war has been reached. Regardless of whether Ladysmith is relieved or not, General Roberts is pursuing a new planof campaign, in which he will set the pace and the Boers will have to dance to his music. They may have to dance so lively that they will be compelled ” to raise the siege of Ladysmith for no other reason than that the dance will lead them in another direction. So far, the British generals have Been ‘content to dance to the Boers’ music and a lively tune it has been. The Boers besieged three towns and disposed their forces in such a manner as‘not only to reduce them but to ward off relieving forces. The British generals attacked the Boers just where the latter had made ready to be attacked and thus took big odds. It now appears as though the principal scene of opera- tions were destined to be the coun- try directly south of Orange. river, to which General Roberts has evi- dently been sending the bulk of his reinforcements. It.is quite proba- ble that the relief of Ladysmith may not be accomplished by Buller, but- by the citi ” i here sug- gesting that250 mounted men should be raised in the province in addition ‘\to those promised by the legisla- ture, 50 to be raised by Victoria, he received a. polite but extremely frigid reception.

He promised to it the day on which he was notified and to let the mayor have ‘his ans- wer next morning. If that reply, NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT. Purauant to Creditors Trust Deeds Act and |" Amending act which has not yet been received, had been in the nature of a request for some evidence, that the offer could be-~ carried out, the ‘mayor would doubtless have at once called the committee together and- taken steps to procure the necessary evi- dence. We do not know that it was necessary to wait for such evi- dence before asking the Dominion government to ascertain if such a corps would be, accepted from the province; but even supposing it proper course- for Mr. Semlin to have taken was to ‘notify the per- sons making the offer to. supply him with some proof that it could be made’ good. Instead ‘of this, he has seen fit to put a deliberate affront upon the people ‘of the cities refer- red to.” No wonder-the movement to send a company of scouts from ‘British Columbia‘has’ received scant atten- tion at: Ottawa when the offers of the people to aid in the work are given such a cold-reception by their own’ government.. They have a right to expect something better than an encounter with a talking Yeeberg,” when they approach the premier in such a cause. IT REMEMBERS: WRONG. “The ta parliament reas- ting his head against the of Natal; nor that of Kimberly by General Methuen, hurling masses ofgnen against lines of entrenched kopjes; but that both these ends may be attained by a diversion cre- ated by a series of stragetic ‘move- ments which will maneuvre. the Boers out of Stormberg and Coles- berg, as the prelude to an invasion of the Free State.- When that hap- pens, it is reasonable to assume that the Boers.will become more in- terested in the defense of their own territory than in the reduction of British towns outside it; and that either the sieges will-be raised, or the besieging forces so greatly k 1 that the t ged can take the offensive and help to hurry the Dutchmen within their own borders. id now look out fora repetition: -of the historical event occurring in the British legislative body 19, years ago, just after the Boers’ great victory at Majuba hill.
