Boer Revival in South Africa

A DESPATCH from Cape Town, dated November 5, says that Lord Roberts has taken his sick daughter to Johannesburg, leaving Lord Kitchener in command. The long-talked-of return of the commander-in-chief to England appears yet to be of uncertain date, as Boer activities continue, and almost daily attacks are made on trains. The losses of the British are heavy. During the month of October, 167 were killed in action and died of wounds, while 367 died of disease, 22 from accidents, and 97 were either captured or missing. London papers speak of the situation as a "Boer revival," and look for six months more of the guerrilla warfare.
