SOUTH AFRICA.

nited Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright I ONDon, July 28 A Boer correspondent, signing him self as «P fe'. writing (o the Morning Post, insists that clemency towards the Boers would bo misplaced. It would be more humane to proclaim that all who are still under arras in September will be outlawed and their properly confiscated, and that all taking up arms later will be hanged. The King personally decorated Lieu tenant Wylly, of the Tasmanian Im perial OushmeD, with the Victoria Cross at St James's Palace.

She Standards Pretoria correspon dent states that Colonels Benson, Beat son, Spen and Parke, with four columns in the vicinity of Dillstroom, awaited Ben Viljoen's 600 from Rhenosfrarkop, going to Nelspruir. Viljoen was una ware that his advance was blocked, and a battle was fought on July 7, the enemy srjfieiring heavy loss. Colonel Benson, on July 9, forestalled Viljoen at Witpoort Bridge, command ing Dillstroom, The Boers were una ware that the bridge was held, and encountered a brisk fire, and fell back in confusion, A hundred Boers, in reserve, who attempted to prevent put suit, were routed. Viljoen later abandoned sixteen waggons. Colonel Benson following, unbrokenly, twenty five miles, compelled the Boers'to fight an aotion at Oliphant's River, killing six, and wounding five of the enemy. The British casualties were few. The Scottish Horse distinguished them selves in the fighting.

I became quite well again, and able to get about as usual, I have much pleasure in sending yoa these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours truly, Mus J. Row. P.S.—I can also recommend Plantekoa as a good medicine for tha blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 21sfc WOl Dear Sir,—Several months ago 1 had a very severe attack of influenza, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee nse mj hands. My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and very painful. Several things I tried without eflecfe. A friend advise 1 me to give Piantekoa a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say bifore I had fin'sbed the second bottle I was thoroughlycured, and I may say I have felt no return whatever. I should like } also, to say a word for Piantekoa Ointment. My hasband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, bo the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal ing ; but when we once tried Piantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it la the very best and safest remedy, and lis one of those thing mo home Is ( complete without. Yours sincerely, Mrs Wainright The Proprietor of Piantekoa Bemedies receives fresh testimony every day from sufferers who have been cared hy their use.
