disease it may be'taken aa a sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough

hoarse, or even after the croupy cough
appears, it will ptevent the attack. It

anxious eyes of Great Britain and the
rest of the woi Id ia still unlifted. It is
impossible to doubt that this absolute

no furthur newe from the front had been

As usual, when news is scarce, the
rumor-mongers have been busy. The
latest story floated is that intelligence,
has reached the headquarters of the
Scots guards that General Buller has
again sustained a serious defeat. Inquiry
at Wellington barracks shows that while
such a rumor had readied there, it was
neither official nor in any form deserving
of credence;
