dispatches breathing a conlldetice hard
ly Justified by their ooiitunm aro al
most the only available news from
tho Heat of hostilities In South Africa
but telegrams from Capo Town depict
the situation In anything but roseate
hues Without believing the assertion
of the Transvaal agency nt Brussels
that 1000 Uocrs have Invaded Cape
Colony It Is qnltu evident that tho In
vasion wtis it serious and well planned
affair In connection with this a cor
respondent hoihIh an ext i finely Inter
esting letter dated Hot hullo Deo 1
describing Dowel and IiIn doings Do-
wot has never been taken seriously
miough says the correspondent It
in of little use to pursue him an ho
lights u rear guard action and gains
20 miles while he Is being fought
Lie Is a bom military genius whose
wonderful powers have kept up this
phenomenal resistance
Once he falls tho whole thing
could be crushed In u fortnight lie
has every single commando under his
supervision All his patrols and col
umns inarch and countermarch on hla
order Tho forces under his command
have been reduced by his strength of
will to a properly organized army
moving at his word The sooner the
British rid themselves of tho Idea that
Dewots forces are a mere rabble wan
dering nimlossly the sooner they will
grasp tho need of tho determined ef
fort which la necessary to capture
him
Already some 70000 men have been
killed wounded or disabled on the
British aide and the war has swal
lowed virtually 500000000
The Cape Colony cnblnet had nn im
portant sitting Sunday It appears
that the Poors have destroyed a rail
road bridge lJ miles south of DeArr
and no Cape malls have arrived at
Bloonifonteln for three days
Further anxiety has been caused in
Cape Town by tho discovery that dur
ing the last month public bodies in
out of the way places have requi
sitioned supplies of dynamite The
colonial government Is now endeavor
ing to recover possession of these ex
plosives and Is removing all stores of
arms aud ammunition from suspected
depots
Other advices from Capo Town re
port the Dutch element In Cape Colony
as greatly elated over the southward
progress of the liners and as boast
ing that the whole district of Victoria
West will join the raiders It is sus
pected In Cape Town that tho force
traveling from Zoutpnns drift is not
a body of Poors but one of colonials
hastening to Join the Invaders
The Pleterninrllzburg correspondent
of the Dally Mail says The Poors are
active near lohannesburg and Pretoria
exchanging ivith the British out
posts and It is roporTfJ that parties
of Boers are hovering
