The British. forces at Fourteen Streams are being strengthened. A move- ment northward is expected soon.” : Winston Churchill, in a dispatch to the Morning Post, says: “It is imperative to continue shipping troops fo South Africa.

The total British losses, exclusive of the invalids sent home, are 16,418 in killed and wounded and missing, Spenser Wilkinson's article in the Morn- ing Post today is a bare summary of Satur- day's news. Except for the “occurrence,” as Lord Roberts calls it, which resulted in the killing of Lieut. Lygon and the ‘wound- ing and capture of Lieut. Col. Crabbe, Lieut. Col. Codrington and Capt.

They met a party of five Boers, whom they tried to capture. The Boers took refuge on a kopje, where three of their comrades were hidden, and within five minutes every member of the British party was hit. Apparently little progress is being made toward the relief of Mafeking. A private telegram from a lieutenant at Kimberley, dated Wednesday, March 21, announces that he was on the point of starting for Mafeking, presumably with the relief column. Gen. Sir Forestier Walker and Prince Alexander of Teck have left Cape Town for Bloemfontein. It is reported from Ladysmith that Van Reenen’s Pass bristles with guns. Kitchener's Costly Blunder. Mail accounts of the capture of Gen.

Lord Kitch- ener was sent forward to intercept him, and at the battle of Paardeberg Lord Kitchener seems to hate shown that he is. better as an organizer than as a fighter, at his order that the British in- repeated the blunder of other gen- “king intrenched Boers, who al- Britishers to get within 1,000 opening fire...

Skir- mishing continues in the trenches. The na- tive food question is becoming a difficulty. The Boers have broken the arrangement to respect the Sabbath by not firing and have seized the opportunity to extend their trenches.” Lady Sarah Wilson, in a dispatch from Mafeking, dated Wednesday, March 14, sa “We have reczived news of the re- lief of Ladysmith, but it serves to increase our disappointment, as there is no prospect of our relief. The town remains closely in- vested. The Bo2rs are reported to be very numerous and strongly intrenched between us.and Col. Plumer's force. Some of the es are dying of starvation, owing to their prejudice against horseflesh. A dispatch to th? Times from Mafeking, dated Wednesday, March 14, says: “Col.
