The Boers seem to be increasing their activity all alons the line," and the news of the British defeat near Wilmanrust in which a de- tachment of the Victorian 'mounted ri fles sustained very heavy, losses. and which has caused forebodings here, is followed by a dispatch from Cape Town today, which states ,that in an engage ment with the burghers near Calvinia. Western province, the mounted rifles lost two killed, two wounded, and two were taken prisoners. The . statement attributed to Com mandant Kritzinger, to the eneet that the Boers intend to conduct a campaign in Cape Colony that will compel the British to devastate the lan4 as thev have the Transvaal and the Orange Free State,' has alarmed many "optim ists here who were re'aoy to believe the recent persistent reports that, burgher opposition was all but ended and that there would be early peace in South Africa. ) ' -J Although the Boer forces in the field are comparatively small, they are giving the British a great deal of trouble, and are wearing out many strong commands by compelling comtant pursuit tnat does not amount to a great deal in tho end. It is said in certain circles here that the Federalists are making desnerate efforts to present a showing that will in dicate their ability to continue the war indefinitely, - so the negotiations for peace will, not go entirely against them. It. is expected in almost every ouarter that some sort of a proposition will emi nate from .The Hague, in the very, nefr 4 future, ! and the Boers , are; determined. apparently, that when it does come they will not .appear to be ' wholly defeated, but will, have a number "of - small vic tories to their credit to. eriablV theni to insist upon certain propositions; they are determined to urge before laying down their arms.
