from the strictly technical recital of all
the details of a busy year in military

of an interesting general character,

The service of many troops after
their enlistments had expired causes
Genftral Corbin to say m his report:
“The patriotism of the regulars and
▼®I»oteers, who enlisted only for the
war s P* io « b 7 willingly and ac

ped men of the colored citizenry have
been commissioned. During the year
there have been 62,175 enlistments
and re-enlistments, of which 53,024
were native born and 9,151 foreign
born. In point of color 56,154 were
white, 6,000 colored and 20 Indians.
The following recommendation is
made for extra pay for officers serving
in our new possessions:
“The pay of all officers below the
grade of brigadier general should be
increased at least 33$ per cent while
on duty in Cuba or our new posses
sions. Most of these gentlemen have
families that they are unable to have
with them, and are, therefore, com
pelled to maintain two establishments.
Also, that provision be made that all
officers below the grade of major gen
eral who retire by reason of age or
wounds received in action shall do so
on the next grade above the rank held
by them in the regular army on the
date of their retirement.”

“Capb Tows—The news of the
Boers’ two victorie# around Ladysmith
has created considerable excitement
among the Afrikanders who do not

the British mgh commissioner, is
much prrtubated at their attitude.
General White, m these two engage
ments lost about 350 men killed,
wounded and prisoners. The second
victory was won by the Free Staters
comtaanded by Low. Meyer, who
sei2ed Colonso, thus catting off the
retreat of General White, who is
wounded. The investment of Lady
smith is complete, and the Boers are
masters of Pietermaritzburg and the
Durban railway.
“News has reached General Whitt
that Mafeking is closely beseiged, an<3
that the Boers have successfully re
