BOERS DESERT
BRITISH LAND
They Arc Now Bent On Defense
of Transvaal.
THE QUEEN MAKES AN APPEAL
Calls For Retired SoldiersTo Form
Royal Battalion For Home
Defense.
A London dispatch says: The Boers
arc leaving all the positions held hy
them on British territory and are con¬
centrating for the defense of their own
—the Transvaal. Hir Rodvers Duller
thinks he is able to raise the siege of
Ladysmith, and this was the large
new* of the duy Tnesday.
Oeneral Clements reports that tho
force confronting him has been greatly
diminished. Ton thousand men are
estimated to have gone from the Cole-
biirg district alone. The Boers are
also retracing their steps from Zuln-
land.
Thus they are relaxing their holds
on all sidos in order to assemble to
oppose Lord Roberts. Ha is pressing
steadily toward Bloemfontein, This
is shown by his inconsequential tele-
gram from I’uardeberg, fifty or sixty
miles away. Doubtless he ia miles ha-
hind the column that is pursuing the
Boers and the next important news
may he the occupation of Bloemfon¬
tein.
Nothing has been heard fiom the
chaao of Cronje for two day*. Although
the last words of the war office Tuea-
day night wore that there was no news
for publication, there is a strong dis-
position to believe that favorable in-
formation has boon reoeived but is be¬
ing withheld until the operations cul¬
minate in something inoro conclusive.
There is au equally strong disposition
to think that Cronje has got away.
Owing to lack of transport, the
British are not likely to invade terri¬
tory except where Lord Roberts i#
operating. General Buller will have
to stop at tho Drakensberg mountains.
Probably part of the 40,000 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord
Robert*.
If, ns General Buller aver*, the
Boers are retreating from him, then
tho nows on every side is favorable to
tho British. Nevertheless troops con-
titiuo Lo go up.
Tho war office thinks thal tha call
to veterans to rejoin tho color*, to¬
gether with the bounty, will bring
45,000 men to the home dafemte. The
urgency with which home defeuse iB
prosHed excites some wonder.
With the casualties just reported,
the British losses iu killed, wonuded
and captured uow aggregate 11,102.
FOR HOME DEFENSE.
The queen, prior to leaving Osborne
house Tuesday morning, on her re-
turn to Windsor, inspected the Fourth
hnttalion of the Lincolnshire militia.
Her majesty announced with a grati¬
fied smilo that good news had just
been received from the seat of war.
Another account says the queen spec¬
ified tho good news from Ladysmith.
The queen, through her private sec-
rotary, Hir Arthur John Riggs, *ont
the following letter to tho commander-
in-chief ot the force*, Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley: Lord
Oshohnh, Feb. 17.—Mr. Dear
Wolseley: As so large a proportion of
the nriuy is now iu Houtli Africa the
queen fully realizes that nocenimry
measures must be adopted for home
defense. Her majesty is advised that
it would be possible to r»i*e for a year

who have already served as officers,

for a time, sido by side with the peo¬

All fire coinpauies were quickly ou

Six buildings, all brick, were partly

places the loss at something less than

The Creed of the -Wendcrers."
It Is a part of the creed of the "Wan¬
derers," a llusslaii sect, that Antichrist
rules In high places there, and that,
accordingly, good tneu must have
naught to do with governmental af¬
fairs of any sort. In conformity with
this belief, a mnu murdered, In various
Ingenious ways, twenty-five men, wo¬
men, und children. Including his own
wife and babes, In order to free them
from the danger of losing their souls

tact of the government ceusustnker.
This occurred tn 1H1>7. The "Denlers,"
another quite Interesting Russian sect,
believe that evil taints all earthly
good, and that the only escape Is death.
In 1825 sixty of these men, strong In
the faith, after having murdered their
wives and children, permitted them¬
selves to be put to death, one hy one,

And a single anointing with CUTICURA,
purest of emollients and greatest of skin cures.
This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, per¬
manent, and economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly,
crusted, and pimply skin and scalp humors with
loss of hair, of infants and children, and is sure
to succeed when all other remedies fail.
Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap
Exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the
•calp ot crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for soften¬
ing, whitening, and soothing rod, rough, and sore hands, in the form of bath* for
annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive per¬
spiration, in the form of waslios for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative
antiseptic purposes which readily suggost themsolvos to women, and especially
mothers, and for all tho purposes of tho toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of
persuasion can induce those who have once used it to use any other, especially for
preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. CtsTi¬
er R A Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived fromCtmcPBA, the groat
skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refrejhing of flower
odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with
it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp; hair, and hands. No
other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it
for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combine* in Oita
Soap at One Prick, viz., Twenty-five Cents, the best skin and complexion soap,
the best toilet soap and best baby soap in the world.
