flelal conflrmatlo.i of the report that
seventy-live KrltUh trixipers were sur
rounded anl raptured near Aberdeen,
Cape Colony. This is the first Boer suc
cess recorded for several months and
is proof that the guerillas can do some
thing more than to retreat more rap
idly than they can be pursued.
Sir Alfred Mllner has decided that
the time has gone for treating the Cape
Colony rehls with leniency. They will

rommlaslon act passed by the legislat

In Cape Colony Is not bo satisfactory as
the British authorities would like It to
be.
