TRANSVAAL WAR.

The Enemy Completely Dispersed from the South of Rimberiey. Ammunition and Stores Captured. Si& British Casualties. Speeches by English Statesmen. London, February 16 Major-General French has com- I pletely dispersed the enemy from the south side of Kimberley, and is going to occupy their ground. Their laager stores, and ammunition were captaredt Kimberley was cheerful and all are well. The British caßualtiea were about twenty. London, Feb. 10 In the House of Lords, Lord Roue btry criticised the Government* military proposals. In an impfcssionate speech he complained of the militia movement, and that the country was '< being denuded of troops. The proposals were inadequate, and showed no conception of the urgency of the present crisis and imminence of danger or overburfchening tension of thb country, South Africa's ravenous maw demanded many victims Where were fifty thousand additional men required to come from Foreign nations were j well aware of Britain's military d. Sciences, and it was impossible to ' reckon upon theirbenovelentneutrality. If South Africa was lost to Britain they would lose the enthusiastic support of the colonies. The Government ought to take a larger grasp of the situation and recognisa that it was a matter of life and death. Lord Laiidsdo#ne denied that Lord Roberts had asked for more toops than w ere under orders, but at the same time if more were needed they would be sent. Lord Salisbury ridiculed Rosebery's speech, arguing that it was useless to insist upon providing against dangers tuat were not likely to atiae. The tide of war was changing in Britains favor, ilo felt that the campaign would proye successful. Turban, February 16 The flying column despatched to Zululand was ior the protection of r Eshowe
