news from South Africa is grave, thej
adherents of peace still derive hope
from the dispa'.ches that the stage of;

Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon noth
ing lad arrived to confirm the dispatch
from Newcastle to the Dally Telegraph
anncunrlng that the advanoe of the
Eier forces began yesterday. The al
leged Boer advanoe coincides curiously
with simultaneous telegrams from va
rious quarters regarding a Boer ulti
matum, and the expiration of the limit
in the evening. A distinctly serious
and UKly statement comes from New
castle to the pfTect that armed Kaffirs
accoir-.pany the Boer command'-rs.
This would be an absolute breach ofi
the conditions supposed to govern war
fare among civilized nations, and If
true, presages scenes worse than even
the gloomiest forecast.
