Full details have not yet been re-

The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup
posed to be due to neglect of pro|>er
picketing. Although it is offset by
the defeat inflicted upon Dewet, the
loss of the guns is regarded as a serious
matter, which w ill encourage the
Boers to continue the struggle.

B. C. June 18.— Much consternation
has been awakened by the escape of a

W hile sporadic

do not hesitate to adopt the most
drastic measures in each instance,
and as a result the empire is today in

The cabinet muddle is not only

solution.
The source of trouble,

responsible only to the sovereign, is
almost lost sight of in the pettiness
