news from South Africa con tained in the following letter Mr Haines received on Monday even ing Springs A CoatMining Centre In camp with the Canadians near Johannesburg June Dear Mr Haines I suppose by tins time you have heard the sad news of sons death r It was a sad blow to us all as we all thought such a lot of him He was a good soldier in every respect faithful in all his duties plucky and never complaining Ho look sick on our arrival at Johannesburg and we all thought he Was just run down from the hard marches etc so that we were very much shocked and grieved when we heard of his death June Believe me Mr Haines when I say you have our sympathy in your bereavement and you have the consolation in knowing that your son did his duty from start to finish and that up his life for his Queen and Country Yours very sincerely ff Marshall Lieut At present in command of company Royal Canadian Regiment As no official information has received Mayor Cane communicated with the Minister of Militia at Ottawa on Tuesday forwarding a copy of the letter and requesting further information as it is quite evident from the above letter that the writer expected news of Private Haines death would be received here before this letter would arrive The fact that the family have had no letter from him since the one dat ed the of May seems to confirm the sad intelligence of his death Private Haines was the youngest of children born to Mr and Mrs Haines of Newmarket only of who are now left He first saw the light inEast Township on the 24th of April but resided in this Town for nearly years On leaving school he worked In Canes Factory afterwards going to Toronto to learn the har ness trade At the time of the call for Volunteers to go to Africa he had been attending Military School in Toronto for four months and eagerly cm braced the opportunity of going for his country with the 1st Can Regiment He wrote a interesting letters home and endured the hardships of war without complaint The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved parents in their deep sorrow London July 28 A despatch from Cape Town says Wet has of fered to surrender on condition that his followers be permitted to return to their homes unmolested Lord Ro berts has refused anything except un conditional surrender Pretoria July A leader of a Pretoria commando has been captured by the British east of He tried to escape but was covered by six rifles at close quarters whereupon he threw down his arms He was on the- opposite side of the river from those who held him under the guns but it was impossible for the latter to cross over and get him They held him however until a sergeant of Ro berts Horse who knew a drift fur ther down came along London July Gen Roberts has moved his headquarters back again to Pretoria The reason assigned is the continued uncertainty of communica tions and the small numbers of Boers to the eastward Some reports how ever indicate that his advance was stopped owing to the failure to cap ture CommandantGeneral Botha who has once more eluded the British ca valry One correspondent ascribes this failure to Gen being un able to cooperate circumstances pre venting his leaving the railway But whatever the cause Gen Botha and his followers have again escaped of the correspondents assert that his men have teen dispersed on fffe bush starving ragged and boot less and with their feet bleeding The details of the British advance eastward make a picture of misery The weather was intensely cold and wet and the roads were quagmires A lieutanont and three men died from exposure All the men suffered severe ly tho they were cheerful thru it all Horses mules and oxen died by the hundred from exhaustion and cold The country thru which the British passed was desolate and forsaken Time it is declared will rather in crease than diminish the difficulties Meanwhile the Boers are active west of the capital Small parties are con stantly moving and keeping the Brit ish occupied It has fallen to General Baden- Powells lot to be again besieged tins time at Rustenburg where Jen is holding him up There is ho indication however of his being in straits tho communica tion with Rustenburg is impossible and Hickmans Mounted Infantry have returned to Pretoria because they found themselves too weak to dislodge The latter has a strong force and occupies a good position The report that Christian Wets capture is inevitable is received here with much doubt His achievements in the way of breaking thru the Brit ish socalled impenetrable cordons too fresh in everybodys memory to allow his capture to be loosed upon as a foreign conclusion At the same considerably more precarious time however his position is when he was among hills the Orange River The capture of and p dozen of the most prominent of the colonys officials at is decided tie the guns and wagons Hie commando escaped There are now about Boers in the mountain fastnesses of and neighborhood with great stored of cattle and a large number of wagons They may escape Gens Hunter Paget and Clements who are watch ing them but as British hold all the roads it is hardly possible that they can remove their wagons A despatch from dated July shows that the capture of was preceded by heavy fighting to force a passage of the passes which was stubbornly contest ed for two days Gen forces had the hard est work in forcing nek the casualties amounting to ahout one hundred V Upwards of Boers with a very large number of wagons a large quantity of stores and many cattle have now been driven into the moun tain passes where are watched by the British troops Their escape from that point will be very difficult A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Lorenzo Marauds says that President Kfugcr is now at He adds that a big fight is expected and if the Boers are beaten President Kruger will trek through Swaziland to and take a steamer for Europe London July 29 Gen Roberts re- Ports to the War Office that Gen French occupied Middleburg without opposition on Friday His despatch contains a reply to the question asked him a few days ago by the War Office regarding the number of trains cap tured by the Boers his previous de- patch on the subject being indefinite as to whether one or two trains had been captured He says that only one train was taken on the night of July between Kroonstad and the Vaal and that it contained supplies and two officers and 100 men of the Welsh Fusiliers -oo- Report is Confirmed The following telegram was received here Tuesday morning

repudiate the uncondition al surrender Gen Hunter however refused any concessions except to allow the Boers to keep one riding horse About oclock the troops were drawn up in two long lines on the hills and over the valley and the Boers rode in between throwing down their rifles together with a motley collection of clothing blankets and gear such as was found in Gen Crones laager The commando was first to lay down their arms consisting of about 550 men Then came the commando horses guns given up Gen with about la wagons were and Commandant were received by Gen Hun ter at his tent where
