Four hundred m* n were dispatched from

Causes Alarm In England.
I.ondon. November M.—The disaster nt
Dewetsdorp has sent a thrill of alarm
through Great Britain. The censorship
continues so strict that there Is no hope
of arriving at a clear conception of tt»*
actual position of affairs in South Africa.
For Instance. independent accounts of
the subsequent proceedings and the re
capture of Dewets-lorp give ample de
tails. not omitting to announce the cap
ture of two Boer wogans and a quantity
of loot, but there is not the slightest
m. nt ion of the surrender of British
troops and two guns, which were not
even disabled, inasmuch as the Boers
were able to use them against the Brit
ish relief forces
The "übiquitous Dewet” seems again to
have gotten away, and so far there Is no
news that th.- captured British have been
liberated. Taking into consideration th
egnimatfe-al military situation north of
the Orange river, the smoldering rebel
lion in Cape Colony, th.- rumors that
France has promised Mr. Kruger to
prt ss arbitration on England if he Is able
to obtain th- support of Germany, and
that Ix*rd Kitchener, after all. is not
to be given the chief command in South
Africa, the British government will meet
the n-w parliament n.-xt •ok at an
exceedingly Inopportune moni.nl.
No attempt is made to conceal the ex
treme irritation felt at the adoption of a
vote of sympathy with Mr. Kruger by the
French chamber of deputies. The news
papers are unanimous in declaring that
no intervention of any kind will be al
lowed to change the British policy-
The Daily Mall publishes an interview
with Mr. Zedtsnian. aloj allst member of
the Cape assembly, who is n-w in Kng
•and. as a d. legate of the vigilance com
mittee. Mr. Zed.-man admits the grav
ity of the situation, but says. he does- not
fear a general rtsltuk although he thinks
ft may be necessary to semi troop- into
th- most disaffected districts, such as
Graef Rein. t. Stekenbosch. Worcester
and Parrl. where mob riots are likely to
occur. ID advocates the pt. Lunation
of martial law and express*-* the opin
ion that ’’th- only thing which prevents
a rising is th* lack of arms and ammu
nition. ’’

”We are losing in every way. losing in

plunged Into greater distress, an<l the
opinion Is gaining ground abroad that we
are incapable of bringing the struggle to
a satisfactory termination.”
Military Incompetence will be alleged.

harshness should be avoided and the
i Boers be conciliated.
I "If men like Botha and Dewot volun
tarily surrender and bind themselves dot

Statist wilt say. "is there any good rea
son why a promise should not be given

B. Robinson suggests that Botha and
Dew-l should be invited to take seats In

; thing which can safely be given them.”
Kitchener Needs More Troops.
Lend on. December 1. I a. m.—There is
i virtually no fresh news from South
Africa this morning. But the retirement
i of Lord Wolseley, the return of Lo'd
I Rols-rts and the appointment of Loot
Kitchener to the supreme command, «»c-
I curring as they do simultaneously, are
I keenly discussed D. spite some misgiv
ings. heartv approval is generally ex
pressed of Iz.rd Kitchener’s appointment.
! It is felt that if any one can clear up
matters in South Africa he is the P an;
' and It ;s readi.y admitted that the task
before him. though of a different kind, is
almost as ditlicu.t as that which faced
Lord Roberts ten months ago. and is cal
culated l> give the fullest scope to all of
| Kitchener s talent us an organiser.
The Mottling Post hints broadly that
the recent demand of Lord Roberts for
tc-enforcem< nts has not been «• >mpli d
with ano insists that laird Kitchener s
hand.- must not l«e tied by any lack ot
men or horses It says:
"If r< -enforcements are withheld or
delayed izud Kitchener may be par i
iyx. with what consequences to the em
pire. tio one can for- see. From to
&'.<•« men tire required.”
All the editorials dwell with consider
able emotion on the nation's debt of
gratitude to l-ord Roberts, who has "suc
cessfully pilotted us through one of the
darkest hours ot our history.”
From Cape Town como indications of the
uneasiness felt. All military posts
■ ttirougnout Cape Colony are being
strength* ned. B.oemfontcin is nowpre
pared for any poss.We attwk. Extra
scouts are out and guards watch the
streets tn the night time. Mmes have
b.-en l.i.d along tne rsLway. The garri
sons a.eng the orange river drifts are
being increased.
| At the same t‘mc measures are being
| taken t<» assist in the restoration of or
der and piostHTity. The Pretoria corre
sn indent of Tjte Daily Mail announces
that "the British ar- distributing oats

| Governor Samford’s son will be his prl-
I vate s«-eretary. and will take charge if
I the governor's office on Saturday at noon.
Governor Johnston, it is said, will be
, glad to turn over the office to him. an 1
is ready to give up. the reins of the
I governorship. There has been much argit
: ment among th- constitutional lawyers
I of the state in reference to the bill passed
ito allow the proeccdings of taking the
' oath, but it is now generally conceded
I that it conies within the sp rit ami proper
■ construction of the constitution. Ihe of
fice will b<- administered by the private
secretary, assisted by the president of
the senate, until the governor is able to
take charge.
i It Is understood that Michael Screws.
■ of this city, will be named as recording
secretary to the governor. All appoint
i mi nts to be made will be with the ap
, proval of Governor Samford.

Crowded about in the ante-romn were
a number of Governor Johnston's friends
with friends of the Samford family, and
some few aspirants for appointments un

Johnston's friends crowded about him and
bade him godspeed.
Captain Samford spent the larger por
