LeNDOtf, Feb li A tetter from Kruger was found in the Commandant's bag, along with the ■tore« captured by tha British on the 7th at the Tugela. The letter, which ia dated January 18th, stated if Lady- Bmith ia relieved the Boers cause will be indeed doubtful and precarious, but if Ladysmith is captured by us we will secure peace and independence.

General White, who is still f ieble from the attacks of fever contracted daring the siegp, has left Ladysnaith for Stormberg. The leave taking of his troops was a touching one. On his arrival at Pietermaritzburg he was presented with an address by the corporation. In reply he remarked that the garrison of Ladysmith when the supplies became short, measured the rations in the hollow of their hands. In all the hardships and trials the troopa were cheerful. The enemy were BO presumptions of their entry that they actually sent trucks to convey the garrison to Pretoria.

It is officially stated that Britain replied to Kruger and Steyn that the campaign will continue nntil the grow ing prospects of restored peace are further strengthened, enabling Britain

to formulate terms.

Fits It Cases in Sydney.

11 United Preaa Association -By Electric j Telegraph Sydney, March 10. The mother of the infant Dovey (who died from the plague) and the brother and sister have developed suspicious symptoms in quarantine. Owing to the quarantine, consequent on the plague, the rates of freight and passage money has been increased in the New Zealand trade. Ihe Union Company announce that a charge of 6s per head for a saloon and 3a for a steerage passenger will b8 made for each day they are quaran tined in New Zealand waters. Dr Leahy, of the Napier Hospital, who has just returned from England after obtaining a diploma in public health, ia making himself acquainted with the preventive measures taken by the Sydney authorities. 1 March 11.

A labourer named Vallie haa been removed from Sussex street suffering from th@ plague. Both the Dovey children have developed the disease.

The President of the Board of Health, after a personal inspection, | strongly condemns the construct i-jn and insanitary condition of some of the Darling Harbour wharves. He says unless the proprietors show extreme promptitude in cleansing it will be his duty to recommend their quarantining. He carefully excepts the Union Steam ship Company's wharves from the con demnation.

The Premier states that the Govern ment, ia conjunction with the City Council, will spare no expense to cope with tha plagup. Among3t other measures they will probably sweep away city rookerie?. All persons not in a position to buy disinfectants will be supplied free.

He leaves a widow and three children* The Conciliation Board, this morning, decided that the case of the Typographical Union against the master printers, respect" ing the linotype rates, was not properly before them.

She steamed slowly in a southerly direction for about eight miles, the depth of water increasing to twelve fathoms. The result of her oporations waa about a ton,and a ha'f of fiah, among-t which were more than twenty d< z;n flounders and soles, a brill, a Echnapper, a few ling, and a large quantity of red cd, eic. Mr Ayson was on board, as was Mr W. Pilcailhly, who has taken much interest in the development of the trawling industry. When the D>to returned in the evening, it was found that no refrigerating chamber was available, so the fish was sold for what it would fetch 18 for the benefit of the ship," and many Lyttelton residents yesterday enjoyed a dish of fish which made them look forward to the establishment of a regular supply ef similar quality at an equally reasonable price.

TRULY WONDERFUL RESULTS.



!98, Weat-terrace, Adelaide, 5.4., 4th Dec, 1899. MRS. A. PALMER, Dear Sir- Nine years apo I had an attack of "typhoid fever"; this left me with a | " running sore" on my left ieg, which caused me great pain, 10 much bo that I could ouly average about "three months' woik in a year." The doctors I consulted could not do me any good, so I had to suffer. About four years ago my sufferings were further aggravated by an accident, through a atone falling on the earn* leg, causing me intense pain. I sought relief in various advertised remedies, but without receiving any benefit from them Hearing about " Webber's Vtadatio" I decided to give it "a trial." After taking four bottles I am thankful to say thab the "inflammation and running ■ore have disappeared." I suffer no pain, and am able to do my work bb usual. You are at liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial, juat hopiug it may benefit some poor sufferer. I am, yours gratefully, LEONARD PRITOHARD. Witnessed by P.
