London's Defence.

CYCLISTS' FLAN OP )PB IV 'TIONS.

Imagine that a brstile army bad ef fected • landing on the East O«Bt,' that its commander was bending the steps of his most mobile advanced troops upon the capital, and that while lie was arranging his defence mssfes the Military Commandant of the Home District had d:spatched seawards as many troops as he eou'd mount on bieyeles with the object of checking or holding the invaders' advance ! {magin3 these conditions (writes the special correspondent) of the Daily News t and yon hftTe the idea of the manoeuvres pKnnrd for the auxiliary cyclist troops of the London Garrison and the Eastern District for their k*stertiide campaign. They promise to ba of an transit»Uy interesting nttare. The War Oiioj, after tinkering with the question for several years, has at last pat au cod to the marching eol amne, and the brief assemblies at Brighton, Winchester, and Canterbury, and a tew other p'aoea to which the Metropoli'an Volunteers were m the habit of. recreating themselves daring the brief Easter holidays: They have done so by peremptorily refusing to pa,y camp allowances for a little over three days' military service—one of which was a Sunday, so that now, like their comrades from the provinces, London ITolunteers have to go into camp later m the year for a week at least. So keen, however, is military interest m the question of the mobility oft ha Army of Home defence that, with the object of testing a number of points—ooe of which concerns the mixed medley of bicycles that a civilian army would bring together—the War Office authorities have called for all the cyclist Volunteers that can be got together from the two military districts mentioned to commence special work early on Good Friday morninr s and continue bo ©mployad under the direc tion tff a number of selected regu lar trffisere until the following Monday evening, For ;this service emergency pay at too rate of half a crown per roan per day was offered,, This sum will, it ta not ex pected, be increased, Because the auth orities have determiner! to try the ex periment of allowing the men to find for tfaetoßfllyee In providing their own food aad sleeping accommodation dor ing the timt they are out, In short they are to live on the country, as som« text booka on Supply havp it, and it is thought they may be able to do so for three and sixpence a day. This is all of the very essence of defence, and the details-—or perhaps the very absence of detail—sound eminently practical. The Home District Cyclists will be formed! as of four battalions, and as there will be no horsed transport, every man must carry the few belong logß he will require on his machine. Some idea of tha extent of the opera tions may be gathered from the cir<» cumstance that it is firmly anticipated that the defenders' • front' will, at times, at least until the enemy has bean thoroughly located, be about forty miles. The operations will take \ place between Colchester and London | —farther than this I am asked not to | particularise. General Sir William j CJatacre, it is understood, wiil act as i umpire in-chief of the matiseavres, and j the invaders will be. directed by the Deputy ''Assistant Adjutant General of the Eastern District. General Sir ! Henry Trotter has called upon Captain the Hon. JHB Bailey, of the Gtena dier Gaardt, to ccmmand the cyclists of tbo Arjfiy of the Metropolitan Garrison

Petroleum near Gisborne.

Glsborne people are greatly pleased with the report of Mr McK^y, Govern ment Geologiafc, on the indications of petrolenm m "sbe country inland from Gisborne. X© says the borea previously pub down were sank m the wrong kind of comntrj, Ibe best surface indications ha deeeribeß as follows!:—The manifestation of oil at the ratface diaplay themselves m a series of holes, both natural, and artificial, and ooeing along the banks of the creek.-shd near the height) of the land where the western ridge tarns to the east—in the latter case apparently from the solid rook. There are several pools, a&toFal or artificial, filed with water and covered with oil to depths varying from Ik; jco 41n' The "northern hoi* 1, with a surface area between two and three eqnara yards, was set on fire, without ascertaining the depth of Soaring oil, and this burned furiously for the apace of a quarter of an hour, with a lame Bft or 10ft m height, and the elimination of much smoke. An artificial hole sft by 2f 6>n showed oil to a depth of fully Sin. and his also wa*i set on fire, bnt did not make tueiia display as th« hole further north. The ooii of the area over which these ttpringa is of a peaty character, and this to a considerable extent contains nil, a yellow subatauce resembling p-r>.ffin.
