THE TRANSVAAL WAR FROM .DAY…
THE TRANSVAAL WAR FROM DAY to DAY. General Lord Methuen, who is ad- vancing to relieve Kimberley, won THTJRSDAY. another battle on Tuesday. In a telegram to the general commanding at Cape Town, who has forwarded the Message to the War Office, Lord Methuen says that at five o'clock on Tuesday morning he recon- jtoitered the Boer position on the^ Modder river and jfound them strongly entrenche'd and concealed. ■The river was full, and there were no means of the Boers. The action commenced at ^lf-past five, and the British troops advanced in widely extended formation, supported by artillery. They found themselves in front of the whole Boer lorce-8,000 with two large and two Krnpp guns. The Naval Brigade rendered great assistance from the railway. After desperate hard fi^hliacr, which fasted ten hours (the men without food or water), the Boers were forced to quit their position, General Pole-Carew being successful in getting a ■J&all party across the river, gallantly assisted by «00 sappers. Lord Methuen speaks in terms of praise of the conduct of all engaged in what describes as one of the hardest and most trying fights in the annals of the British army. He adds that, if he can mention one arm particu- larly it is the two batteries of artillery. The "eneral at Capetown has also forwarded a mes- ^ge received through Router's Agency at Pre- toria. It states that General Dutoit reported that the British had made a sortie from Kimberley early on Saturday morning. They were fired on by the Boers with artillery and infantry in the dark- less. The British came out where the Bloemhof Commando had 300 men. General Dutoit, nine tailes off, hastened to the asistance of the Bloemhof Contingent with 100 men. Nine burghers were killed and seventeen wounded, while some were hissing. The British left on the field one private 3-nd one sergeant. It was reported that the British had made an attempt to leave Kimberley on the east side to assist the troops coming from Belmont. A second telegram from Reuter's correspondent at Pretoria states that the British had repaired the damage to the railway and engaged the Free Staters, who were overwhelmed by numbers after a brave stand till the afternoon. The Free Staters Were compelled to take up another position on the other side of the railway. Commandent Delaney adds that it was impossible to give the numbers killed and wounded on the Boer's side, but the loss Was not great. This second telegram refers either to the battle of Belmont or to the action at Enslin. Lord Methuen, it may be remembered, reported that Delaney was in chief command of the enemy at Enslin. Particulars of the fight at Enslin that have now come through show it to have been a brilliant en- gagement. Operations began early in the morn- ing, the guns being brought into play before the infantry advanced. The Boers held a strong posi tion upon the kopjes, from which they appeared to retreat in consequence of the British shelling. The ftaval men started to occupy the position, and when they were two or three hundred yards from the enemy's line they were met by one blaze of &T&" from right ronnd the kopje, so murderous and well sustained that no troops could live before it. Eventually the position was carried in a most bril- liant way. One correspondent says the shower of bullets as the British advanced gave all the ap- pearance of a raging sandstorm. He adds that how the Boers lay low under their defences without making any sign during the terrific shelling of the artillery is regarded as a marvel by military men. Another message speaks of the splendid bravery of the Naval Brigade. Captain Campbell, of the 9th Lancers, had his horse shot under him while he was riding up to a Boer who had beckoned him. A patrol of Lancers had one man killed at a farm where the Boers directed a heavy fire upon them. i The official lists of the casualties in the battles of tllmont and Willow Grange were issued by the yWar Office yesterday. At Belmont four officers J^nd 50 men were killed, 21 officers and 217 men impounded, and two men are reported missing. In \»ie action at Willow Grange 11 men weie killed, (fJ wounded, and nine captured by the Boers. At a late hour last night the War Officc issued a despatch from General r FRIDAY. Forestier- Walker, commanding the lines of communication at the Cape. r It consisted of a message from Colonel Baden-Powell at Mafeking, dated November 20, stating that on that date all was well at that place. Cronje had gone with a commando, with about twenty waggons, to Riceters, in the Trans- vaal, leaving most of the guns with the Mareco and Lichtenburg commandos, with orders to shell the British into submission. The bombardment and sniping continued, with very small results. The Boer sentries on the preceding Saturday made a show of going away and leaving the big gun apparently in a state of being dismantled. The British scouts, however, found the Boers hidden in force, "so," adds Colonel Baden-Powell, "we .sat tight." He states further that he is daily pushing out advance works with good effect, and that the health of the garrison is good. The War Office yester- dayissued list,, of the casualties among the officers at the battle of Modder River, but up to a late hour no indication of the losses sustained by the non-com- missioned officers and men had been given. The British Commander, General Lord Methuen, was slightly wounded in the thigh, Colonel Northcott, of the staff, was killed, and three other officers were killed and eighteen wounded. Official tele- grams from Capetown, issued in the course of the day, stated that on Tuesday in the north of Cape Colony the situation was unchanged, and that all was well at Kimberley on November 23. It was also reported that a telegraphist, named Mitchell, had made his way out of Ladysmith to Weenen. He stated that on the 8th of November the British forces defeated the Boers, who sustained great loss. The total British casualties were remark- ably small. Only eight men bad been killed during the siege; and in all the battles, &c., only 100 men had been killed and wounded. He left Ladysmith on the night of November 25. Since the 9th no attempt had been made to attack the town in force. Two more transports, the" Cata- lonia and the Englishman," arrived at Cape- town yesterday. Our latest news from Natal is dated the 28th ult. It states that a mild SATURDAY. artillery duel has taken place in the neighbourhood of Colenso. where the enemy hold the bridges. There were no casualties. The British advance to Frere seems to have been slow. An encounter with 2000 Boers took place on the road, but on the arrival of British reinforcements the enemy retired. Frere was found to have been completely looted. The bridge had been blown up, but the stout supports had not been injured. A corps of scouts has been formed at Durban and sent on to Pietermaritzburg to stop Boer raiding. There are now 4,500 Natalians in the field. The despatches from the Western frontier published to-day give news of both Kim- berley and Mafeking up to the 25th ult., on which date both towns were safe and their garrisons 'active. Kimberley has made splendid practice with its artillery. Two shells fired on the 17th killed nine Boers and wounded seventeen. On the 23rd there was a sortie which located the enemy. Another successful sortie took place on the 25th. The Boers have fired 1,000 shells during the bombardment, and the British 500. Shells made for the garrison by the De Beers Company have proved very effective. The inhabitants are much cheered by the news of Lord Methuen's approach. From Boer sources we learn that reinforcements are being hurriedly sent from Pretoria to resist Lord Methuen's advance on Kimberley. There was a sortie from Mafeking on the 25th, but the result is not known. A Boer despatch from Lourenco Marques states that a commando in Rhodesia is preparing to attack Tuli. There is no news of the operation in Cape Colony. Troops are still moving to the front. Many of the Dutch at Colesberg, who had at first joined the enemy, have now withdrawn to their homes. The Natal Advertiser's" correspondent at the front says that the Boers did everything possible for the few British wounded who were left in the field at Beacon's Hill, their doctors apologising for their inability to do more owing to the inferiority of their arrangements for the care of the sick and wounded as compared with those of the British. The War Office has issued the full list of casualties in Lord Methuen's MONDAY recent engagement at the Modder River. The number of officers and men killed reaches 77, the number wounded is 387, and seven are returned as missing, giving total casualties 471. The list is regarded from one aspect as a welcome surprise," as Lord Methuen's description of the battle led to the belief that the loss would be much heavier. The War Office on Saturday also issued a telegram dated Friday stating that General Gatacre reports no change in the situation. General French had made a reconnaissance from Naauwpoort to Ros- mead. Lord Methuen's flesh wound is described as slight. He remains at Modder River for the reconstruction of the bridge, and is being rein- forced with Highlanders and cavalry. The Canadian Regiment, the Australian contingents' some Horse Artillery, and three battalions oj infantry have moved up to the line De Aar-Belmont. Telegrams sent out by the War Office yesterday state that the Bechuanaland Protectorate Police captured the enemy's laager to the west of Kimberley on November 28. Communication by searchlight with Kimberley from the Modder River has been established. The transport Ismore, with nearly 500 troops on board, went ashore on the rocks in St. Helena Bay yesterday morning. All the troops were safely landed, but at the time of telegraphing the horses remained on board, and it was difficult to get them ashore. Early on 'Tuesday morning several parties of retreating Boers were followed by a mounted force under Colonel the Earl of Dundonald, who also took four guns with him. An artillery duel com- menced when our fortes neared Colenso, but there were no casualties on our side, and after ascertain- ing the strength of the Boer position our forces returned to camp. In a later dispatch our corres- pondent reports that the great bridge over the Tugela at Colenso has been blown up by the retreating Boers. No further news has come from Lord Methuen himself, but it is stated that his column has actually crossed the Modder river, that the Boers are concentrating at Spytfontein, and that another bLg action will probably be fought there. It is reported that the young Dutch resi- dents on the Border districts of Cape Colony have joined the Boers in great numbers. General Buller's message'clearly indicating the punishment for disloyalty is thought to have had a considerable effect in restraining the older Dutch farmers from openly siding with the invading forces. A telegram from Pretoria states that at the fight at Belmont twelve burghers were killed and forty wounded. From Liverpool yesterday the Atlantian sailed with about 170 officers and men, and 130 horses of the 19th Battery Royal Field Artillery. There were scenes of great enthusiasm in the streets and at the docks. To-day the first embodiment of militia battalions for permanent service is to be made. Six battalions are to get under arms and despatched to the posts they are to occupy in the home garrisons. During the week 24 battalions will muster. The shipment of the armament of the seige train also begins to-day. It weighs over 5,000 tons, and the garrison artillery going out to man the train will number 1,500 officers and men. The war news to-day, though still very much behind time, is oi an in- TUESDAY teresting character. Information has been received at Capetown that Com- mandant Cronje, 100 waggons, and a large body of Boers have left the laager, and that the seige of Mafeking is practically raised, although the enemy indulge in desultory shell and rifle fire. Descriptions of the fight at Modder River arc now coming to hand. The engagement is described as a desperate fight, lasting sixt een hours. The Boers occupied a strong position, extending ei^ht miles, with their trenches built in front of trees. The gun practice seems to have been equally divided between the artillery and the rifles, and the Boers several times poured in a fearful fire into the British. The result of the fight has, of course, been known for some days. A Transvaal commandant who is one of the prisoners at Modder River has informed a correspondent that when he joined the commando he found a large number of burghers with absolutely no idea of the significance of the Red Cross. He also says that the Boers calculated on holding Belmont for six months.

Sergeant Archer, 2nd Dorsets, left with the regiment on Friday morning for Southampton to sail in the Simla. He is a young man, with a wife and three children, and the family sat up all night together in their room in the sergeants' quarters, the children, in their nightshirts, being kept awake to see the last of their father. In obedience to the bugle-call at 5 a.m. Sergeant Archer departed. The distracted wife ran after him to see her husband leave the parade-ground. In her absence the children got at the embers of the fire :with some paper, Ser- geant Price, in the next quarters, heard the sound of screams, and running in, found the boy, William George Archer, under three, in flames. A surgeon on duty attended to the little sufferer, and the mother, who was absent only twenty minutes, re- turned to find the child carried away. The boy died in Victoria Hospital during the afternoon. On identifying the body the mother fell down in a faint. The jury found no blame was attachable to the unfortunate woman, and returned a verdict of accidental death. There has been no means of communicating with the father since he sailed. At the Lambeth Coroner's Court on Thursday an inquiry was held concerning the death of Amy Catherine Henderson, aged twenty-five years, wife of Private Ernest Henderson, of the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, now doing duty in South Africa. The deceased, who had a baby five months old, was employed as a packer at a warehouse in Wood- street, City. On Friday last she was returning home from business when, in crossing St. George's- road, Southwark, she avoided one van and ran into the horses of another laden with three tons of oats, and, being knocked down, the wheels passed over her. Death took place soon after.—Mrs. Jane Kendal, the widow of a journalist, of 18, Long- ville-street, Newington, identified the deceased as her daughter, and said she had charge of the baby.—The Coroner said the case was a very sad one, and handed the witness a postal order for £1, which somebody had sent him anonymously for the benefit of the child. The witness stated that she had received k5 from a newspaper fund, which was also going to defray the cost of her daughter's funeral.—The Coroner said the War Office authorities would inform Private Henderson of his young wife's untimely end.—The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and expressed their sympathy with Mrs. Kendal.
WORLD IN A WEEK.
WORLD IN A WEEK. Six persons have been killed and twenty injured in a railway collision at Paterson, New Jersey. The War Office has agreed to regard soldiers in South Africa who are members of Welsh Calvinistic Methodist churches as Presbyterians, and thus under the care of the chaplains of the Presbyterian Church of England. An inquest was held last week on thebody of George Alexander Findley, aged 19, of Willow Terrace, Upper Lloyd-street, Moss Side, who was injured in a football match on Saturday. The young man's father, who was watching the game, and the referee, both stated there was no unfair or rough play, and that the injuries were purely the result of accident. A verdict was accordingly returned to that effect. Mr John Morley has been unanimously elected hon. president of the Oxford Palmerston Club. The post was held by Mr Gladstone from the the foundation of the Club in 1873 until his death, since which it has been vacant. Sir Hubert Parry has been nominated Professor of Music of Oxford University, in succession to Professor Stainer. The Sultan, according to a Vienna Correspondent, has been stirring up the Sheiks in the region of Lake :Chad against the Anglo-French Convention which assigns spheres of influence in that part of Africa. Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn has made a free gift of land on his Tanat Valley estate for the purposes of the light railway about to be constructed in that part. Mr. A. W. W. Dale, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, has been elected Principal of Uni- versity College, Liverpool, in succession to Principal Glazebrook. Mr. Dale is a son of the late Rev. R. W. Dale, of Birmingham. Mr. George Thomas, the son of Mr. Thomas Thomas, the Official Receiver for the district, has passed the final examination of the Incorporated Law Society. He was articled to Messrs. Frank Thomas and Andrews, Goat-street, Swansea. Mr. Joseph Arch. M.P., the veteran member for North-West Norfolk, is again indisposed at his cottage at Barford, Warwickshire. Owing to this his marriage, which was to have taken place on Thursday, has again had to be postponed. Henry Jones, aged thirty-seven, a traction engine advance man, of Boxley, Kent, on Friday met with a terrible death near Chatham. In a moment of forgetfulness Jones stopped in front of his engine to light his pipe, with the result that the wheel of the engine caught him, dragged him down, and the machine passed over his head. THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF 1898. A committee of the above Eisteddfod was held on Friday, at the Boardroom, Blaenau Festiniog when a balance sheet was read, showing a surplus of iE298 after meeting all the liabilities. Aftei deducting the moiety for the National Eisteddfod Association, the balance was devoted to loca' purposes, one part being given towards the County School, and the remainder towards the funds oj the Free Library. THE QUEEN AND THE BLIND CRI$Rfc|r A touching little story comes from Bristol ir connection with the Queen's visit. It will be recol. lected her Majesty expressly stipulated that pan of the route of the Royal procession should b( through the poorer district of the old city. Closf to the bridge, in the industrial part of busy St Philips, lives Robert Caines, an aged man, who is quite blind, and has been bed-ridden with paralysis for nearly twenty years. Hearing that the Queer would pass that way, he earnestly begged;that he should be taken from his bed and propped up at t he window, as he wished "to see her Majesty pass." Airs. Collison, daughter of the vicar of the parish in which the bouse is situated, undertook that the old man should have his wish. She further informed the Queen of the request, and by her -Majesty's desire the honse was brought to her notice. As the Sovereign passed the window where the loyal old man was seen held up by his friends, he said he should never forget the impression made upon him. There is a sequel to the pathetic story. The Queen, after returning to Windsor, sent for more information about the blind and crippled old man and his surroundings, and she sent him, through the Lord Mayor, a £ 5 note. The blind veteran is overjoyed in the possession of this mark of her Majesty's generous regard for his welfare.
j Y RHYFEL.
Y RHYFEL. BRWYDR BELMONT. Gesyd y manylion diweddaraf ein colledion ni yn y frwydr uchod fel y canlyn. Swyddogion a dynion wedi e1.1 lladd 49, wedi eu clwyfo 245, ar goll 2, yr hyn a wna gyfanswm o 296. BRWYDR GRAS PAN. Oddiwrth y newyddion diweddaraf ymddengys fod brwydr Gras Pan yn fwy pwysig nag y tybid ei bod ar y cyntaf. Yr oedd safle y gelyn yn gadarnach yrna nag hyd yn nod yn Belmont. Mewn gwirionedd nid oedd y bryn blaenaf ar yr hwn yr oedd safle cadarnaf y gelynion ond carnedd enfawr o geryg mawrion, a thu ol i bob careg y llechai Boeriad. Tybir eu bod yn rhifo 3,000. Am fwy na phedair awr yn ddidor parhaodd gornest ofnadwy rhwng cyflegrau ein Llyngeswyr ni a magnelau y Boeriaid, y rhai y ddefnyddid gyda medr neillduol, hyd nes o'r diwedd y distawyd magnelan y gelyn. Ymddangosai fod y Boeriaid oil wedi symud yn ol, gan nad oedd dim un i'w ganfod yn un man, a chredai ein dynion ni y byddai eu hymosodiad yn debygol yn lied ddiogel, ac y gellid cymeryd safle y gelyn heb ond ychydig golled. Ond cawsant ddeffroad sydyn. Pan gyrhaeddodd ein Llyngeswyr o fewn i dri chant o latheni i linell y gelyn, cyfarfyddwyd hwy gan ffrwd fflamawg o dan o holl amgylchedd y bryn. Yn y fan hon y medwyd Commander Ethelston, Major Plumb, a swyddogion eraill i lawr. Ciliodd y dynion yn ol am ychydig eiliadau i fymryn bychan o gysgod. Yna rhoddwyd yr arwydd i ] ymosod drachefn, a chan redeg o bwynt i bwynt, j gan ddefnyddio pob ychydig gysgod ellid gael, j cyrhaeddodd ein dynion droed y bryn. Mae yn j haws dychymygu na darlunio beth oedd y rhedegfa bon, pan ddywedir fod y cawodydd o fwledau wrth ddisgyn ar y Ilawr o'u cyclch yn gwneud y lie fel be buasai tywod-ystorm gynddeiriog yn cerdded drosto. Wrth droed y bryn safodd y dynion, ond am eiliad, ac yna gyda banllef wyllt i fyny a hwynt. Cafodd yr ychydig o'r Boeriaid a safasant yn lewion hydd y diwedd eu ladd. Ond ffodd y mwyafrif mawr mewn anrhefn i ganlyn eu magnelau, yr rhai oeddynt wedi cael eu dwyn ymaith yn flaenorol. Yr oedd y Llyngeswyr yn man poethaf y frwydr. Allan o 16 o swyddogion oeddynt yn dechreu y frwydr ni ddiangodd ond tri yn unig o honynt yn ddianaf. Cymerwyd yn ysbail yr boll ddefnyddiau rhyfel oedd gan y Boeriaid yn Gras ran. MODDER RIVER. BRWYDR OFNADWY. GALLUOEDD METHUEN YN YMLADD AM DDENG AWR. TRYDEDD FUDDUGOLIAETH. Mae Arglwydd Methuen wedi ychwanegu trydedd frwydr ffyrnig at restr ei orchestion, ac mae ei golofn fechan unwaith eto wedi dyfod allan yn ogoneddus. Yn mhob un o'i frwydrau blaenorol fe ddywedem yn ein calonau, y mae wedi dioddef yn ddychrynllyd, nis gall fyned yn mlaen heb ad- gyfnerthion. Ac eto y mae wedi myned yn rnlaen. Y mae trwy benderfyniad a dygnedd diguro wedi troi brwydrau amheus yn fuddugoliaethau. Y mae wedi pwyo yn barhaus ar alluoedd arfog y gelyn, a chyn hir fe deimlir effaith ei ergydion yn y Transvaal. Er fod rhai o newyddiaduron y cyfandir yn ceisio bycbanu ei fuddugoliaethau a'u dangos yn y gwrthwyneb, y mae wedi dal i fyny fawredd ac anrhydedd Prydain. Mae ei gatrodau hefyd yn deilwng o'u Cadfridog. Y maent dair gwaith wedi ymosod yn ngwyneb safleoedd cedyrn, yn cael eu meddianu gan elynion enwog am eu dewrder a'u medr fel saethyddion; a buasau eu buddugoliaethau yn llawer mwy ysgubol pe buasai ganddynt fwy o Feirch-filwyr a Meirch-gyflegrau i yru eu hergydion anwrthwynebol hyd adref. Wedi brwydr Gras Pan dydd Sadwrn bwriadau y Cadfridog Methuen roddi gorphwysdra i'w gatrodau am ddiwrnod hyd nes y gellid dwyn cyflenwadau newyddion i fyny, Dydd Sul gwnaed ymchwiliad i gyfeiriad y gogledd yn y gerbydres arfogedig, ond ymddenys nad oedd ond ychydig o'r Boeriaid yn y gymydogaeth, gannaddigwyddodddim niwed ond i ddau o'r meirchfilwyr y rhai a attegent y ger- bydres bob ochr i'r llinell. Dydd Llun symudodd Methuen yn mlaen. Erbyn yr hwyr yr oedd wedi cyrhaedd o fewn i wyth milldir i Modder River, ac yr oedd y gledrffordd, yr hon a adgyweirir gan y galluoedd wrth symud yn mlaen, yn agored am oddeutu deg milldir i'r gogledd o Belmont, rhwng Gras Pan a Honeynest Kloof. Erbyn hyn byddai y meirchfilwyr yn alluog i roddi gwybodaeth lied gywir o barthed i safle y gelyn. Hyd y gellir gwybod yr oedd y gelyn wedi cadarnhau eu hunain mewn ffosydd ar y bryniau isel ar y tu gogleddol i'r afon. Ymddengys mae syniad cyntaf Methuen oedd ymosod ar y gelyn ar y llaw dde neu yr aswy trwy rydio yr afon. Ond gwnaeth sefyllfa chwyddedig yr afon, o herwydd y Ilif, y cynllun hwn yn anmhosibl, ac nid oedd dim i'w wneud ond ymosod yn ngwyneb safle y Boeriaid, yr un modd ag yn Belmont a Gras Pan. Yr oedd nifer y Boeriaid yn 8,000. Gyda yr afon chwyddedig rhwng y ddau allu, nid oedd yn bosibl gwella y sefyllfa drwy ymosodiad gyda'r bidog. Felly rhaid oedd symud y Boeriaid drwy offerynoliaeth y gyflegrau ar rhych ddrylliau. Boreu dydd Mawrth yr oedd catrodau Methuen yn symud yn mlaen cyn toriad y wawr, ac am 5 o'r gloch lleolasant safle y gelyn. Dechreuwyd y frwydr am 5.30 gan ein cyflegrwyr a'n meirch- filwyr. Am 6.30 mewn trefn estynedig ymosodwyd ar y safle gan y Guards ar y dde, a'r 9fed Frigade ar yr aswy, yn cael eu hategu gan Faes-gyflegrau, a chawsant eu hunain yn gwynebu holl allu y Boer- iaid, yn cynwys 8,000 gyda dwy fagnel, pedwar o ynau Krupp a gynau ereill. Brithir y gwastadedd ar y tu deheuol i'r afon gan dwmpathau morgrug, ac nid oedd dim arall a allai roddi dim cysgod i'n dynion ni. Ymwthiai y dynion yn mlaen yn ngwres yr haul tanbaid, ac yn y pellder, nis gallent weled dim ond ochr perthen o ddrain yr hon a ymylai yr afon, ac ychydig fan fryniau y tu hwnt i hyny. Ond o'r berthen ddrain ac o'r man fryniau hyny, tywalltid cawodydd o blwm a phelenau yn erbyn ein llinellau teneuon wrth symud yn mlaen. Tra yn y pellder nis gwyddai ein dynion ni pa niwed oeddent yn allu wneud i'r gelyn gan eu bod mor guddiedig. Ond ymwthiant yn mlaen yn raddol, tra y cwympai amryw ar bob llaw, nes o'r diwedd y daethant i bwyso yn llawdrwm ar y gelyn, gan wneud ei lecyn dewisiedig yn lied boeth iddo. Wedi brwydro ffyrnig, yr hyn a barhaodd am ddeg awr, gorfodwyd y gelyn i gilio yn ol o'i safle. Bu ein dynion ni drwy yr amser heb fwyd na diod. Llwyddodd y Cadfridog Pole-Carew gyda mintai fechan i groesi yr afon, yr hyn yn ddiau a fu yn gynorthwy effeithiol i orchfygu y gelyn. Rhestrir hon fel un o frwydrau caletaf a llymaf yn hanes y fyddin Brydeinig. Collwyd pedwar o'n swyddogion ni drwy gael eu lladd, a chlwyfwyd pedwar-ar-bymtheg. Clwyf- wyd Aiglwydd Methuen yn ysgafn, ond dywedir y bydd yn iawn eto mewn ychydig ddyddiau. MAFEKING. Yr oedd Mafeking yn ddiogel ar y 24ain cynfisol, ac yn parhau yn gryf. Mae y tanbeleniad yn par- hau o hyd, ond heb wneud ond ychydig niwed. Gwnaeth y gelyn ymgais ystrywgar un diwrnod i dynu y gwarchodlu allan, drwy ffragio myned ymaith, a gadael magnel fawr yn ymddangosiadol mewn anrhefn. Ond cafodd rhai o'r gwylwyr allan fod Uu o'r gelyn yn cynllwyn gerllaw, ac felly nid aethant allan. Mae magnel fwyaf y gelyn wedi ei thaflu allan o drefn, ond mae un arall mwy effeith- iol wedi cael ei gosod yn ei He. Mae Baden-Powell yn gwneud y lie yn gadarnach bob dydd, ac yn eangu ei gloddiau amddiffynol: ac mae wedi trechu y gelyn mewn tairo frwydrau. Mae iechyd y Gwarchodlu yn dda iawn. Mewn canlyniad i'r tanbeleniad parhaus, mae olwynion masnach yn hollol lonydd. Y gweithwyr a dderbynient gyf- [ logan wythnosol ydyw y dioddefwyr mwyaf, ac yn yr ymgais i leddfu y trueni o herwydd y prisiau uchel, mae Baden-Powell yn rhoddi defnyddiau ymborth am y pris iselaf i'r rhai sydd ag arian gan- l iddynt, ac y mae y rhai heb arian yn eu cael am I ddim. Y mae hefyd wedi trefnu i roddi haner r coron y dydd i Wylwyr y Dref am weithio yn y F ffosydd. Cymeradwyir y cynllun yn fawr, a theimlir ei fod yn gam yn yr iawn gyfeiriad. KIMBERLEY. Clywid ergydion Rhych-ddrylliau yn gynar foreu i y 24ain yn nghyfeiriad Fferm Wright, ond ystyrid nad oeddynt ond un o ystrywiau y Boeriaid i ddenu t ein dynion ni allan dan y dybiaeth mae y galluoedd 3 oedd yn dynesu gerllaw. Yn gynar yn y prydnawn 3 chwythwyd dwy bont i fyny gan y Boeriaid ar y gledrffordd i gyfeiriad Spyfontein. Mae agoshad > y galluoedd cynorthwyol wedi cynyrchu llawenydd < mawr yn mysg y gwarchodlu yn ogystal a'r trig- I olion. Mewn trefn i gael cyflenwan. o ddwfr mae y Boeriaid wedi tori y ddwfr-gadwfa rvw dair milldir o bellder o'r dref, er mwyn cael y cyflenwad i'w gwersyll hwy. Tybir mai yn y fan hem y mae prif wersyll y Rhydd Daleithwyr yn y gororau gor- llewinol. Mae y brodorion a ddiangasant oddiwrth y gelyn wedi cyrhaccld yn'Beaconsfiel(l. Dywedant hwy i un o'u tanbelenau ar yr 17ed ladd naw ac anafu dau-ar-bymtheg o'r Boeriaid. Oherwydd fod tanbelenau y gelyn yn disgvn yn fvnych ar dir tywodlyd mae effaith eu ffrwydriad yn cael eu leihau yn fawr. Yn ol amcan gyfrif *wyddogol mae y Boeriaid wedi saethu dim l!ai na 1000 o dan belenau i'r dref a'n dynion ni wedi ateb gyda dim llai na 6C§. LADYSMITH. Aeth catrawd allan o Ladysmith ar y 14eg evnfisol i gyfeiriad gorllewinol a chawsant allan fod y Boeriaid yn wan. Dywedir na chanfyddwyd ond 4,000. Tanbelenodd a distawodd ein gynau ni gyflegrau y gelyn, ac ymwthiodd ein meirchfilwyr a'n traed-filwyr yn mlaen yn ngwyneb tan mis- grell. Ar ein gwaith yn dyfod yn ol ail agorodd y gelyn arnom gyda'u magnelau, ac am haner awr rhwygid yr awyr gan eu pelenau; ein colled ni oedd un wedi. ei glwyfo. Dywedir fod y Boeriaid wedi colli 40. ond tebygol fod hyn yn ormodiaeth. Ar y 15ed, am 12-30 y boreu, taniodd y Boeriaid oddeutu 12 o danbelenau i Ladysmith, ond paharn ? Nis gwyr neb. Gan fod swn rhychddrylliau wedi ei glywed, tybir fod y Boeriaid yn ofni ymosodiad nosawl, wedi bod yn tanio y naill at y llall. Trodd y catrodau oil allan, oddigerth un llyng- eswr, yr hwn a ddywedai mae ei ganol wyliad wriacth ef ydoedd hi ar y piyd, ac nis gallai ddeall pa fodd y dylid ei ddeffroi. Ni ddigwyddodd dim byd. Yr oedd yr 16eg yn ddiwrnod teg a braf. Sychodd y Boeriaid eu dillad, ac yna dechreuasant dan- beleniad musgrell. Tebygol fod arafweh eu tanio yn cael ei achosi gan yr anhawsder i gario'r defn- yddiau i'r safleoedd uchel lie yr oedd eu magnelau wedi eu gosod. Lladdodd un danbelen anffodus un o swyddogion y gledrffordd, a chlwyfodd dri o'r trigolion a dau frodor. Hefyd lladdwyd Gwirfodd- olwr tra yn cysgu yn ei babell. Tarawyd rhai tai yn ddiweddar; dinystriwyd ystafell ysmygu y Gwesty Brenhinol. Yr un boreu ffrwydrodd pelen dan ystafell lie yr oedd Cyrnel Rhodes ac amryw swyddogion yn myned i gael boreu fwyd. Gwnaeth gryn ddinystr yn yr ystafell, ond nid oedd neb dynion yno. Cafodd y swydd- ogion eu boreufwyd bum' munud yn ddiweddarach. Ar y 19ed, am 7-30 yn yr hwyr, taniodd y gelyn dri o ergydion o un o'u magnelau. Treiddiodd yr ail belen drwy do y Gwesty Brenhinol, aeth allan drwy y drws, a thaflodd i fyny gareg fawr ar yr heol heb ffrwydro. Yr oedd Mr. Stark, natur- iaethwr, yr hwn oedd yn darparu llyfr ar eirydd- iaeth Natal yn sefyll yn y drws ar y pryd. Hyrdd iwyd ef allan i'r heol ganddi, a thorwyd ymaith ei ciciwy goes. Uymerwcn olal o ty ngiiatn, meddai, ac yna bu farw. Am 12-30 un boreu taniwyd ryw ugain o ynau ar unwaith. Cyfarthodd y cwn, ond ni wnaed un niwed. Yr oedd tanbelenu eiddilaidd ar yr 20fed, ond dim niwed, oddieithr i borth yr eglwys. Mae yn gwestiwn os ydyw y gerbydres warchae sydd yn fuan i allforio am Ddeheudir Affrica, yn ddigon cryf i'r diben o ddarostwng Pretoria. Y cyflegrau mwyaf, a gymerir ydyw yr Howitzers," 6i modfedd o dryfesur, arfau nerthol iawn, taniant belen anferth 119 pwys, ac yn llwythedig gyda "lyddite"—y tafledigydd mwyaf dychrynllyd o gryn lawer a ddefnyddiwyd gan unrhyw ynau gwarchaeol hyd yn hyn. Crcdirfod gan y Boeriaid rai gynau 8t modfedd yn rhai o'u batxiddiffynfeydd yn Pretoria. Mae y rhai hyn yn debygol o wneuthuriad Canet," a thaniant belenau 240 pwys. Wrth gwrs nis gallem ni drcsglwyddo gynau mor drymion i'r lie heb yr anhawsder mwyaf. Cynwysa y gerbydres bedwararddeg o Howitzers 6t modfedd, wyth 5 modfedd yn taflu pelen o 60 pwys, ac wyth 4 modfedd yn taflu pelen o 20 pwys. At y rhai hyn vchwanegir wyth o ynau 4! modfedd yn taflu pelen 45 pwys yn llwythog gyda lyddite —gynau anmhrisiadwy yw y rhai hyn. Y gwar- chaead mawr diweddaf gan ein byddin ni oedd yr un o gylch Sebastopol. Derbyniodd y fyddin yno gynorthwy mawr oddiwrth y llynges-tiriodd 1,400 o lyngeswyr gyda nifer mawr o ynau. Gellid gwneud yn gyffelyb yma hefyd peynangenrheidiol. Dylai yr Howitzers, er yn drymion ac yn anhawdd i'w symud ar hyd ffyrdd drwg, brofi yn fwyaf gwerthfawr mewn ymosodiad ar y gynau mawrion sydd gan y Boeriaid mewn amryw safleoedd, yn enwedig Laing's Nek. Mae y pelenau lyddite yn gwneud yr effaith mwyaf andwyol, oherwydd mae pelenau y Boeriaid wedi troi allan yn wael, ac wedi methu gwneud niwed mawr iawn i'n dynion ni. Mae yr Howitzer" 5 modfedd a ddefnyddid yn Omdurman yn gyflegr cymharol hwylus, a bydd mewn galwad mawr yn mhlith ein cadfridogion pan gyrhaedda y gerbydres tua diwedd y mis. BRWYDR MODDER RIVER. MANYLION YCHWANEGOL. YMLADD FFYRNIG AM BEDAIR-AWR- ARDDEG. Yr oedd y frwydr hon y galetaf a ymladdwyd hyd yn hyn. Dechreuodd ar doriad y wawr a pharhaodd am bedair-awr-arddeg. Yr oedd y gelyn mewn safle cadarn ar lan Modder River, ac yn cyrhaedd am bum milldir o bellder o dde i aswy. Yr oedd gan y Boeriaid gyflenwad rhagorol o gyfiegrau, ac yr oeddynt yn ymladd yn ddewr. Agorodd ein cyflegrau ni dan ar ochr aswy y gelyn, a pharhaodd yr ornest rhwng y cyflegrau yn ddidor am oriau. Yn ystod ychydig dawelwch symudodd dwy gatrawd o'r gwyr traed Prydeinig ar draws y gwastadedd tua'r afon. Ar y dde cyfarfyddodd y Guards a than dychrynllyd oddi wrth y gelyn. Yr oedd eu craff-saethwyr yn nghysgod perthi ar lan yr afon, ac o herwydd nad oedd gronyn o gysgod gan ein dynion yr oeddynt yn cael eu medi i lawr Yr oedd yn annichonadwy byw yn y fath dan adwythig am oriau, ond daliodd ein llanciau dewrwych eu tir, heb gilio modfedd yn ol. Yr oedd tan y Boeriaid yn gywir ac angenol. Cyfrifid eu bod yn rhifio oddeutu 10,000. Cyrhaeddodd y Scots Guards hyd o fewn chwe chant o latheni i linell y gelyn cyn iddynt gael tanio arnynt. Yr oedd y gwyr traed yn gorfod gorwedd ar y llawr er osgoi tan deifiol y gelyn, yr hwn a barhaodd yn ddidor am bedair ar ddeg o oriau. Gwnaed cynygion amryw weithiau i grcesi yr afon. Uchelwyr Argyle oedd y cyntaf i groesi, ond yn agored i dan arut,hrol y gelyn gorfu iddynt droi yn ol, wedi dioddcf yn enbyd. Yn ganlynol croesodd Cwmni o'r Guards, a daliasant eu tir am oriau lawer yn erbyn y gelyn uwchraddol. Yr oedd ein llanciau dewrion yn cwympo wrth y dwsinau tra yn gwneud ymgais ar ol ymgais i ruthro drwy y bont. Cyflawnwyd gweitbred arwr- aidd gan y Milwriaid Codrington a dwsin o'r Cold- streams, y rhai a nofiasant. dros yr afon yn ngwyneb tan trwm y gelyn. Ond gorfu iddynt droi z, yn ol, a chyrhaeddasant oil yn ddihangol. Bu agos i ddan o honynt a boddi. Cadwodd y cyflegrau Prydeinig dan trwm ar safle y Boeriaid trwy y dydd. Gwnaed hafog erchydus arnynt, a gorfu iddynt ffoi o'u safleoedd; a dododd y nos derfyn ar y frwydr adwythig hon. Collwyd ar ein hochr ni 475 rhwng lladdedigion, clwyfedion, a rhai ar goll. Mae bon yn golled fawr iawn, ond wrth ystyried parhad a phoethder y frwydr y mae yn ysgafnach nag yr ofnid ei bod ar y cyntaf. Mae safleoedd y galluoedd Prydeinig ar hyn o bryd yn debyg i hyn:— YN NATAL. Yo warchaedig yn Ladysmith y Cadfridog White gydag oddeutu 9,500 o wyr. Yn Colenso, Weenen, a pharthau ereill o Natal, o dan y Maeslywydd Buller a'r Cadfridog Clery, rhyw 23,000 o wyr. YN MAES CANOLOG Y RHYFEL. Yn symud yn mlaen o Queenstown i glirio y Boeriaid allan o Stromberg a'r cyffiniau mae y Cad- fridog Gatacre gyda 6,000 o wyr. Yn Naaupoort, meirch-filwyr a gwyr traed, o dan lywyddiaeth y Cadfridog trench, oddeutu 3,000 o wyr. AR Y GORORAU GORLLEWINOL. Yn symud yn mlaen o Modder River tua Kim- i berley, Arglwydd Methuen, gyda 7,500 o wyr. Ar y llinell yn Gras Pan, Orange River, a De Aar, 8,000 o wyr. Yn warchaedig yn Kimberley, 2,000. Yn warchaedig yn Mafeking, 1,000. Gan y Milwriad Plumer yn Rhodesia Ddeheuol, oddeutu 1,000 o wyr.

LLWYNGWRIL. PARISH COUNCIL.—A Parish Council meeting was held on Saturday evening last at the Board School. The members present were Capt. Kirby (chairman), Messrs. Griffith Jones Robert Davies, Richard Jones, Roberts, William Evans, Hugh Jones, Hugh Lewis and Lloyd (clerk). A disussion took place upon a dispute which has arisen between the Council and Mrs. Wiliams, Bryntirion, in which the latter claims that the oomnion, although unenclosed land, is part of her property. The parish council claim that the common is Crown land, and not the property of Mrs. Williams. The members now agreed to ad- journ the matter. It was reported to the Council that the footbridge over the brook which leads over the Common had again been taken down for the third time on Saturday by Mrs. Williams' son. This matter has been before the Council on several oocasions, and the bridge has been re- constructed twice by the Council. It was decided that the bridge be rebuilt for the third time.

Y Prif Athraw Roberts ar Ddiwylliant Cymreig. Nos Fercher, Tach. 29ain, .agorodd y Prifathis-«r T. F. Roberts ymdriniaeth.ar Yr ar.gen am tang,a diwylliant Cyrareig yng nghyfarfod Cymfha* Geltaidd y Coleg. Dywcdodd wrth ctdecliieu iiiiii ofer oedd meddwl dihysbyddu pwnc mor eang, mewn un cyfarfod, ac fully mai ei amcan e: oed.i taflu awgrymiadau a chymkellion meddwl i aelodau'r Gymdeithas oedd i'w ddilyn ef yn yr ym- driniaeth. Dechreuodd gyda diwylliant y cartref. Yn y fan yma y ceir dirgelwch mawredd teuluoedd Lloegr. Arferai J. Stuart Mil] ddwcyd mai oddi- wrth ei rieni y cafodd bron yr o'i .ddysg. Ond diifvgiol i raddau yw diwylliant y cartref yug Nghyinru. Gwir fod eitliriadau .anrhvdeddus yn hanes teuluoedd fel eiddo Charles o'r Bala, y Prif-athraw T, C. Edwards, teulu Howel Harris," Roberts Manchester, ac ereill ond rhaid addef nad yw'r werin yn gofalu am syneini digon cadarn a chyflawn i gymeriad ac addysg ieuenctyd ein gwlad. Yna daw diwylliant yr ysgol. Gorffwys bri dosbarth canol pobl Lloegr ar effeithiau ysgolion fel Eton, Harrow, &c. A gall Cymru, bellach, wedi cwbl- hau cynllun ei haddysg ddisgwylffrwythtoreitliiog oddiwrth ddiwylliant ei hysgolion. Ymhen rhyw ddeg neu bymtheg mlynedd ceir gweled ol y puro a'r dyrchafu drwy addysg ar y werin. Ond rhaid i'r addysg gyfrennir yn yr ysgolion fod rhywbeth amgenach na llafur ar gyfer arholiadau. Rhaid gwneud addysg yn bleser, ac yn werth ei geisio er ei fwyn ei hun. Hwyrach fod llawer i'w ochel wrth wneud addysg ysgol yn gyfrwng diwylliant,ond sicr yw, os am eangu a phrydferthu meddwl fod rhaid gofalu am y Celfanu Cain. Heb ymgynefino a barddoniaeth, cerddoriaeth, arlun- ,,y iaeth, a chelfyddydwaith nis gellir dyrchafu syniadau y dyn. Buddiol hefyd yw ymarfer corfforol i canys ni ddylid esgeuluso datblygu un rhan o'r dyn. Y mae mwyafrif elfennau diwylliant i'w casglu o feusydd Llenyddiaeth. Ond cofier am lenyddiaeth iachus. Rhaid wrth ddewisiad o'r pethau goreu a ysgrifennir. Darllener ceinion llenyddiaeth Gymrieg yn unig. Dylai Cymry geisio yn gyntaf ddiwylliant Gymreig neu genedl- aethol a defnyddio hwnnw fel cyfrwng i ddeall diwylliant mwy cyffredinol y byd. Hynny yw edrycher ar y byd o gyfeiriad Cymru. A thnag at hyn dylai pob Cymro wybod hanes a llenyddiaeth ei wlad. Dylai ddarllen o leiaf y Mabinogion, cywyddau Dafydd ab Gwilym, Llyfr y Tri Aderyn, gweithiu Goronwy Owen, Ceiriog Islwyn, a Dewi Wyn o Eifion. Disgwylir i ddiwylliant eang hefyd gymeryct 1 mewn bynciau cymdeithasol a gwleidyddol. A thuag at hyn dechreuer gyda darllen Traethodau Llenyddol Dr. L. Edwards, gan ddilyn y deffroad Cymreig i lawr hyd lafur T. E. Ellis. Cymorth arall i enill diwylliant yw meithrin dyddordeb mewn hynafiaethau. Dylai efrydwyr Aberystwyth archwilio a sylwi ar adfeilion Mynachlog Ystrad Fflur, i-ii enwedig drwy gymorth llyfr Stephen Williams. Nid amcan diwylliant Cymreig yw cyfyngu'r Cymro i'w wlad fach ei hun, ond ei wneud drwy gyfrwng ei ddiwylliant cartref yn gymwys i sefyll ei le yn niwylliant a chym- deithas y byd. Os am ddiwylliant eangach y byd rhaid ymgynefino a chewri llenyddol y byd, megys Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, Plato, Aeschylus ac ereill. I ddysgu cyfrinach y 19eg ganrif rhaid darllen llyfrau Carlyle, Tennyson, Ruskin, Brown- ing a Wordsworth, yn ogystal ag eiddo Goethe, Dante, a Kant. Wrth rheswm gosodr y nod yn uchel, canys dibenion bach sy'n gwneud dynion cul. Ymgoder uwcblav/r ailraddol, ac eir yn uniongyrchol at y prif ffynonellau i sugno ein hysbrydiaeth. Nesawn fel Cymry at ein gwaith, gan gredu yn mawredd ein cenedl." Paham y byddwn wasaidd, gan oddef i estroniaeth ddargan- fod a dweyd wrthym geinion ein gwlad ? Nid yn ngbragen plaid neu sect y ceir diwylliant ond wrth ymdaflu i ganol y galluoedd mawrion sydd yn dyrchafu'r byd. Ymgydnabyddwn a phrif bynciau y dydd, megys addysg, cydweithred- iad cymdeithasol, dirwest, penarglwyddiaeth yr ysbrydol ar y materol. ac achosion ymerodrol, megys heddweh cyffredinol. Dyma'r pynciau y bu ein cyndeidiau yn brwydro drostynt, dyma'n hetifeddiaeth ninnau. Ar ol anerchiad rhagorol y Prifathraw cymerwyd gwahanol bwyntiau i fyny a siaradwyd yn frwd- frydig arnynt gan y Proff. D. M. Lewis, y llywydd, W. Jenkin Jones, B.A., a'r efrydwyr E. Evans, F. Knoyle, D. O. Edwards, M. H. Jones, and J. J. Thomas.
Welsh Industries.
Welsh Industries. LIVERPOOL WELSH NATIONAL SOCIETY. The annual soiree of this Society was held last Friday at the Reform Club, Liverpool, under the chairmanship of Mr. Samuel Smith, M.P.. in the absence of Lord Kenyon, who was unable to be present, he having wired to this effect during the day. Lady Eva Wyndham Quin and Miss Mabel Hill were present, representing the Welsh Industries Association, and delivered interesting addresses. The latter stated that every county in Wales was showing a practical interest in the work of the Association, and she appealed to the Welsh people in Liverpool to do likewise, as much work yet remained to be done. If they would only help their fellowcountrymen, she thought there was a great and prosperous time before them. At present the railway communication in Wales was 'not sufficiently great for the weaver to be in touch with the market. They made the most excellent flannel, but this was not made generally known to outside parts. They might be met with the, objection that the price of Welsh flannel was twice that paid in the shops," but she urged them to try and persuade people that the cheapest article was not always the best in the long run. She looked forward to the time when the water power would be converted into electricity, when the Welsh mills would be able to compete with the other mills in the country, and also to the estab- lishment of a school for instruction in dyeing and weaving at Aberystwyth. Principal H. R. Reicbel followed, and spoke in hopeful terms of this great movement in favour of Welsh home and country industries. It was against his preconceived ideas, but he was of opinion that the best students came not from the towns, but from the rural districts and farms. He advocated the development of band training as a part of education, and the best way of getting to the mind was through the fingers.
----------LLANON.
LLANON. THE WAR FUND.—On Wednesday, the 22nd ulto, as briefly stated in our last issue, a meeting was held at the Board School to discuss the situa- tion in South Africa and to arrange for collecting subscriptions in aid of the widows and orphans who suffer through the war. Major Hughes, Alltlwyd, presided, and in his speech made a few remarks as to the loyal feeling which pervaded all ranks at the present crisis. This was shown so strongly in the remarkable way the reserves answered the call, in one regiment he knew of all the names were answered except one, and he was dead. Major Hughes was followed by Mr. E. Morgan, C.C., who appealed to those present to support the Government, that it was our duty at the present, no matter whether it was Conservative or Liberal, to give it all the help in our power. Speeches were also delivered by Mr. Stephen Davies, who spoke as to the cause of the war, con- demning the Boers of treachery in this and previous troubles. Capt. Davies, Clarovine, also spoke strongly to the same purpose. Dr. Davies, Aberayon, made a few remarks, also Mr. Alban Jones. Speeches were also delivered by the ministers of the different denominations, viz., Rev. E. Jones, Rev. E. Davies, and Rev. T. Thomas, Mr. Owen Davies (to whom in connection with the Rev. E. Davies much praise is due for calling to- gether the meeting). It was proposed starting at once a house to house subscription in aid of the widows and orphans, and that the following ladies who bad already signified their willingness to do so, should collect the subscriptionsMiss Williams, Glyn; Miss James, Ontario; Miss Davies. Lima; Miss Jenkins, Pantteg; Miss Davies, Portland- street, and Miss Jenkins, Millett Park. Captain Richards, Pantteg, sang a patriotic song to the tune of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," the audience joining- heartily in the chorus. The meeting was concluded with the singing of God Save the Queen." Among those present we noticed Mrs Hughes, Alltlwyd; Mrs Law, whose husband is now serving with the 2nd Devons at the front, Rev. D. W. Davies, Llanddewi; Dr Lewis, Llanon; Mr E. Rowlands, Rose Villa, and most of the influential men of the place. On Wednesday, the 29th ult., another meeting in connection with the above was called at the same place to receive the subscriptions which the ladies had been very busily collecting during the week. Mr O. Davies was appointed treasurer, and the substantial sum of L22 Is Od was handed in, which, after deducting a few shil- ling for expenses, were accordingly sent to the fund in aid of the widows and orphans. The meet- ing concluded with a hearty vote of thanks to the ladies for their very successful efforts in collecting the money, which was no light work, considering that when called in there were over two hundred names on their 'lists. The ladies remarked that they everywhere met with a hearty welcome, and that a general feeling of sympathy for the suffer- ers prevaded the district, and the call for help almost everywhere met with a ready response.
