The Pursuit of De Wet.

■ Mr Bennett Burleigh has a long and in teresting letter in the Daily Telegraph, from which we extract the following passages :— To catch the De Wets there were generals *nd troops enough in the Orange River Colony, and to apare. Methuen, Rundle, Ohermside, Brabant, Uolville, Clements, Pag«t, and others—marohed leaden footed after the astute and fleet Boer leaders.' Yet the latter rarely drove their oxen or moved their main convoys more than fifteen miles » day; Ifc is astounding that no moderately •mall bub well equipped, compact bodies of troops were detailed to follow persistently npon the brothers De Wet's trail. The re strictions put upon the despatch of news to England by correspondents did not prevent the Boer sympathisers in town having fairly early and accurate knowledge of what their friends were about outside, nor their whisperings one to the other that Botha .would soon come and drive ua out of Pre 1 torio. There wbb constant coming and going of the enemy'a spies, and the town wm Boddea with conspiracy, which in either eft&e could have been quickly corrected by a virile administration, military or civil. But the fiat was tolerance, always tolerance, towards the intolerance and treason of the ex-burgher and foreign population. The re' leased prisoners of Waterval were armed with the nondeßcript riflsa given up by the burghera, And excellent work some of them did, particularly the body under Colonel Bullook, of the Devone, who was one of those taken at Oolanso. His story of that episode, and the needless los 3oi Colonel Loog's guns, has yefc to be written. There was do man more surprised than ho that it •hould have been thought necessary to leave them to be taken by the Boera on that day of bunglirg and blundering. Boebs' Scouting Wobk

Wtun the 160, or a company and a half of mixed drafts going to the Highland Brigade were o&ptureri, with a convoy, a few miles outside of Heilbrnn, to which place no attempt was made beforehand to opsa helio communication with General Colville, Christian Da Wat behaved very well to the men. Speaking in the hearing of Lieutenant Corballip, abtached to the Army Service Corps, and who managed subsequently to escape, De Web remarked : • I can under stand, f«om the way your officers mismanage, why $b h your mon never win a battle against me.' A human observation, not absolutely correct, but with truth enough dbout it to belexaepergiing. The Da Wets were sot on!? in their own districts, but were helped by spies, moat of whom were farmers who had surrendered and taken the oath ; and I hays ye* to learn of any reliable in takes where, even upon proof and conviction we have shotjabusera of the white flag, or raa oalg who after having surrendered their arms anptufcen the oath of neutrality, have played the epy end rejoined the burghers in the field: Perphaps the most notorious oats is that^of Mr fj«roux a Boer J P, living near Vredefort roaa station. Lord Roberts end staff staved on the way up for a night at this man'&|aouse. He professed to the new order of thing, and all that, and was continued in hii office by the Field-Marsha!. Scarcely had the Commander in Chief's headquarters quitted hißroof when Leroux began com mnaioatlons wi th the enemy. In that manner information was given to the De Wets and others about the Heilbroo convoy, and the ■bats of things on Vredefort road, with its train, stores, and ammunition all under a guard of thirty five men or less; hence the attack on June 7. That was followed by tha affair at Roodeval, and so on. I am told that before the capture of the Derby Militia the Boer patrols actually w&tohed the soldiers pitching their tents. The oolonel •elected ft nice snug spot in an open vale, : and then the tents and baggage were gob there, though warned that there were Boers about, and that the place was the leas!) •eoure for a camp. However, the burgher patrols were watching the ticklish operations of laying out) the lines getting them mathe matically straight and at right angles to each other—-all as if the thing was being done ab Aldenhot or upon Salisbury Plain. Those who were there declared the Boers nearly choked with laughter at the movement being directed by bugle call, the men stepping forward to raise the tents, and then putting them down again because of some irregularity and the fiaical niceties of the officers— a|l this, perhaps, because the enemy felt yery sure about bagg'mg the lot in the morning, as they did* Without meroy, the Boers, when they advanced nexb morn 1 ing, dealt sternly with the few Britiuh outposta, killing moßb of tho Boldiers. Leroux was bagged by ft smart young officer, and esnt on for trial There is bub one opinion about Christian De Wet, which is that ha is a splendid leader, and a good generous fellow after his fashion. He speaks English like a gentle' man, is courteouß to his prisoners, a daring rider, and a fearless soldier, In appearance ha is rather over medium height, strongly built, and fair, bub his close cropped hair has besotne iron grey and his moustache rough and bristling DB WET'S OPINION Of METHUENi

Young Mr Langman, of the Langman Hospital, saw much of Christian De Web daring his sojourn in the Boer laagers. The burgher leader was stern, but kind. Speak ing without reserve, De Wet told him that Methuen, who was coming on, was still twenty-five miles distant* Hie observations about that general were nob by any efcretch of imagination wfeat could be termed flattering or even mild criticism, " Me thuen," a»id Da Wet, "will ba here by to-morrow evening. If hia foroe is not too numerous I will %ht him; U otherwise I shall retire." Nexb morning pc Wet remarked: " Methuen ie now fifteen miles off.' The Boers had established t, perfeob network of signal posts, from which helios and lamps JUtked every movement of the Bffibiib,

bub, unlike us, they only used them for important communications, keeping the whereabouts of their signallers as Becret as possible. Their scoutiDg service also appeared to be very complete* The burghers chatted with the hospital sfaff, declaring that th-y could not be conquered. 80 far as could bo Keen at that timo, De Wet's forco consisted of about 1500 men, with four guns. They had plenty of smal'-arm ammunition, bub were running short of sheila. Next day Methuen arrived, so De Wet; eaid to the dnooors and hospital , staff: " The beat thing yon can do fa to leave fchis place, which ia sure to be shelled. Fallow me, and I'll place you where you can see the fight without running any risk." He led them a few miles, and passed them in a nek in ths hills. When the action began they had a splendid view of the situation. 1 The Yeomanry appeared to ride hither and thither all over tho ground afc & great speed, and they pushed ia most gallantly | I upon the Boers.' Bat the enemy took matters very coolly, never bothering themselves about one point or another. Certainly no more than three Boers were killed thafe day, if so many, Subsequently a meeaage of De Wets was intercepted, in which he asked for recruits, as he had j won two great victories, and could arm and equip 1760 more bnrgharg.
