Jkvebcargiix, Oct 12 Mr T R Anderson's store at Colac Bay was destroyed by fire r-atly this morning. Everything waa lest, including Ixoks and money. The railway hotel adjoining was >avcd with difficulty, Tho loss amounts to £1300, and it is understood only half ; covered by insurance. Wellington, Oct 12 I It is understood the Ci y Council haß I completed arrangements for the purchase of the Miramar Estate, sul j:ct to the consent of the ratepayers, A similar proposal wai made s me years ago during Mr ReV* mayoralty, but was rejected by the rate; payers. The estate comprises th" peninsula on which the forts are situated, near the Headß, and ia separated from Wellington by Evan's Bay. Ib is proposed to cub the greater portion of the estate into building allotments, and eventually to ex end tho electric tram eervioe to tho !oca!i*y.

Common Sense in War-Making.

One general rale whioh must be observed in moving troops in a a mountainous country is to avoid ' unall detachments' such aa could not maintain themselves in the valley when they might* be exposed to attack.' That simple common sense principle was laid down by the Duke of Wellington in reference to troop leading 'in such countries as the Pyrenees—and ib is of universal application. The neglect of ib in any mountainous conn* try accounts for * untoward incidents ' which have occurred in South Africa—the capture of small detachments and guns by bodies of the enemy, who thrust themselves in be* tween such detachments and the colums of the army around them. Wellington was explaining to Lord de Roe his reasons for disagreeing with the gene ral opinion thab the conduct of military operations in a mountainous counbry pre sented much greater difficulties than it did in a plain : " At first no doubt," said he, "this is the case, but, when once you become accustomed to ib and acquainted with the country, I consider ib easier to direct the movements of troops in mountains than in the plains." One of the strangest features aboub these Incidents haa been ihe escape of the adventurous and successful bands with their prisoners and guns oub of the invaders' grasp amid the great host all round— ten to one at least. The news of bhe disaster is carried to headquarters nob twenty miles awayj a column starts at once to overwhelm the daring Dutchmen and release the prisoners. Seldom, or never, do they succeed in over taking the enemy, and the gun's are carried off as if tbey were feathers. There are excuses, of course. White fl-igs flagitiously displayed, false information given by deceitful informers, and want of ammunition. Heaven forbid that we Bhould say or hint ono word Jn disparagement cf tha soldiers of Ihe Queen, They go where they are ordered. They stand where they aio placed. Even the Colonial troopsrs, bushmen and others, who have won th© highesb praise from Lord Roberts, have somebinus made mistakes and "have gob into scrapes, though they have been held up a 9 patterns of Tihat mounted infantry and light cavalry ought to be—bub, all said and done, there has been no war with the details of which we are acquainted bo m:.ny strange captures of men and gnne, from the Elandelaagte action outside Ladyemith to the loss of two guns and the surrender of the Boots Greys and Llnoolnswith twenty miles of Lord Robert&' headquarters, aa there has been in the present campaign. In every instance there has been a final want of ammunition mentioned as a cause of final submission. It cannot be easily understood how detachments of three arms some 1000 strong should be placed in the positions the Duke of Wei* lington condemned without reserves of ammunition. No one pretends that Boers are invisible, though they take to cover kindly while our troops are clad in grass* hopper colour, and no amount of " slimness " will enable columns ol men on foot or horseback to conceal themselves or their guns and baggage on bhe march. Anyway it is plainly demonstrated that detachments in mountainous countries should nob be small j and isolated, and that the Duke of Welling*' ton's rule is as sound in South Africa as it was in Spain.— Army and Navy Ga2ette,

THE ASHBURTON BRAVES.

« Those who are guiding, or trying to guide the testiniea cf bhe amateur club in Ashbur ton have evidently made up their minds to try and save bhe -branded wreck of the Cyclists Alliance or perish in the attempt, The Alliance is now past redemption, and all hope for a revival is shatbered. If the Aahburbon Club is determined to stick to the Alliance both must go down together. Ib is therefore difficult to understand the action of the Ashburton sporting wheelmen respect ing the Alliance. The big clobs in Auck land and Christchurch have apparently had enough of trying to keep bhe Alliance afloat, and have openly admitted that the game is up, and thab farther opposition to the League means ruination and practical exberminabion The Ashburton Club is not nearly so strong as either of the two clubs mentioned ; ib haß also a local League club, and what is far worse, ib has Nordonioua Edwardes to fight in the near future. Edwardes haa earned for himself the credit of having been the in' strumenb in the League's hands of bursting up the Auckland Club's faith in the Alliance in fact he made things so warm while he was on the jab thab the Auckland Club were convinced thab either the Alliance or bhe Club musb go. They wisely chose the former, The Ashburton Club will be a mere trifle to Edwardes onca he gets into his stride. Our friends in Ashburton had therefore bobber be wisa in time. At leasb by retaining the so calkd "Alliance' {Alliance of what ?) they will be 'sportically' ostracised. Their affiliation fee will be paid to themselves, their dekr-vtes will have nothing to delegate about. And—Oh !ita too fnnny to contemplate seriously— N Z. Wheelman.
