From the Seat of War. t Mr R. Rowlands, Tyndolau has received the following letter from Lance-Corporal E. W. Williams now serving with the S.W.B. Company in South Africa. He is the son of Mr and Mrs Williams, Lletemddu Llangeitho, and his many friends here will be glad to read and hear of him. Karree Siding Orange Free State April llth, 1900. My dear friend.—Just a line to inform you that I am still alive and kicking after having had three months of hunger, thirst, and tons of fighting, and strange to say never felt better in all my life as far as health is concerned. I have seen some strange Bights since I last saw you, and have been in some very tight corners, but I have luckily escaped so far without even a scratch although I have had two horses shot under me, and have seen men on both sides of me shattered with shot and shell. I think the worst day I have experienced here was the first time we got under fire on the 15th February at Watervaal Drift, Riet River. We were rearguard to French's column and got attacked with our .convoy, and oh my! did'nt they pepper us; you could hear notbing but the whistling of bullets and the screaming of shells for 12 solid hours, and if it had not been for reinforcements arriving from Jacobsdal to our rescue, I presume I should either have been at Pretoria or kingdom come by this time. When we got clear we made all haste to rejoin our comrades, and arrived in time to come into action at Paardeburg on Sunday, 18th, and then they were lively, very lively. We got-an order, 60 of us, just as it was getting dusk, from General Kelly-Kenny to gallop up and drive away the Boers from a hill which they had occupied on our extreme right. To reach this hill we'had to pass between two others, and while we were cantering up the valley the Boers opened fire on us from both sides and front, and horses and men went down like grass. When the colonel found that it was useless to proceed he ordered us to scatter and get away as best we could, so turn- ing about most of us made for a slight ridge. It was now getting dark, and as we were galloping as hard as our horses could carry us we did not see a barbed wire fence until almost on top of it. My horse rose to it beautifully, cleared it without touching, but before he touched the ground he was as dead as a doornail, having been shot through | the head. I did about three somersaults and then I stopped, picked myself up, and after looking around to see if I was all there, started to walk, when ping I and a bullet whistled past my ear. I thought to myself, Ned, this does not look like doing your health any good, you bad better be making tracks for home," when ping ping ping and a perfect fusilade was opened upon me, dark- ness only preventing their aim from being true. I began to think that it was all U.P. when a stray horse came along, and chancing a few more bullets 5n the attempt I collared him, and, mounting, was quickly back amongst our own troops. Of the 60 of us who started on that fateful errand only 27 of iisarchereiaow. The fate of the remainder is still a mystery. This battle lasted 10 days and ended in the capture of Cronje and his gang. Since then we have met another 15.000 at Ossfontcin, and drove them back through Bloemfontein, which we captured. After remaining at the latter place for a week to rest horses and men, we ''advanced once more and joined General French at Glyn Siding, and on the 29th March we were once more at it for all we were worth. I think that the Boers have almost had enough of it, judging by the respect they have for their skins. They like us alright (but at a distance), and they don't care to talk to us at close quarters when swords and bayonets are flashing about. We are now in a very comfortable camp at Karree with 10,000 Boers' within a mile of us just to prevent us getting homesick, and as we are only 3,000 all told here we have to keep pretty much on the alert. Our duty is to defend our position if attacked, as it covers the Glyn and Karree Bridges on the railway from Bloemfontein to Pretoria., but not on any account are we to attack. We generally manage, however, to get in a morning's shooting, as Boers shoot- ing is very exciting sport, as Johnny Boer can shoot back, and he can shoot straight some- times, too, for that matter. But all the same it passes a dull morning away, and helps to kill time and Boers. We have been anxiously waiting for them to come on and drive us out, but it is no use hoping they will, as they are not made of the right sort of stuff, and we have to be satisfied with sitting down and shooting a few as we get the chance. Perhaps it might interest you to know how we live in this far off region. I will just give you our bill of fare for the last two months; one days will suffice as the menu never varies, only quantity does very often. For breakfast we eat all the bread that, we are allowed for 24 hours—about ilb, with a little weak coffee, no milk and very little sugar. Dinner-boiled beef or mutton, salt, and sometimes, when able to procure it water; no potatoes, no vegetables, no nothing. Tea—same as breakfast, only without bread, and tea in lieu of coffee. Supper No wonder we are all fat. I look so well I don't think my best girl would know me if she saw me now. I have not shaved since leaving England, have not seen soap for over two months, have not had a wash since the week before last, and have not changed my shirt since but never mind, I won't tell you when, only it is a very, very, very long time ago, and as long as our finger-nails do not wear out with scratching ourselves it does not much matter. I have no more time now, as I am just off on guard, so with best wishes, Believe me, yours very truly, E. W. WILLIAMS. FROM A LAMPETERIAN. Mrs Martha Jones, Globe House, Lampeter, has received another letter from her son, Sapper Tom Jones, 2,764, 1st Telegraph Division Royal Engin- eers, coiv at Bloemfontein. Dealing with his ex- perience. he say :1 have-in my pocket now a bullet which was intended for me, but it hit a stone in the kopje in front of me British boys know how to fight, and they know how to die. It is a sight to see them fix their bayonets, as cool as cucumbers, and charge the Boers. Cold steel they don't like. They kill more by sniping at our fellows from the kopjes as they pass than by actual fight- ing.. There were a couple of hundreds of Boers brought in here the other day from Springfontein. They were prisoners, and seemed glad they were beaten. I reckon I was in luck the other day. The cable cart that I work on went out to lay some lines, but my comrades were captured by the Boers. One was wounded in the arm and leg. His name is Williams, and he is a native of Monmouth. I feel so sorry for him, as he was a nice young fellow. Also a sergeant by the name of Thurgould and Sappers Hay and Preston were captured by the Boers last Monday. At eleven o'clock we were ordered out to lay a line of communication a dis- tance of seven miles from here. We did not start before three o'clock in the afternoon, and by six o'clock we had got three miles and a half up, when the officer, Lieutenant Morris, came up to us and said we would have to retire as the Boers were ad- vancing upon us. We had to pick up the wire again and trek into the nearest camp. After a j long and tiresome journey we came into camp, bnt we could not get water to drink, ar.d I was parched. Off I went in the dark to get some water anywhere First I went to the Worcester Regiment, but they had none, as the water-cart had not come back. I then went on to another place, but could not get any there, so on I went again. Seeing a water-cart I made a "charge," and, much to my surprise, the chaps around it were chatting Welsh. I asked them what regiment they belonged to, and they said, the 1st Welsh." Then I managed to quench my thirst. I also met a young man from Seng- henith that I knew; his name was Charley Balden. I kd a long chat with him, and he gave me some toba.. j to smoke and offered me tea and bread. He was willing to share anything with me. You see, it is not all honey here. We are getting tents to-day after being without them for three months. We have plenty of food now. DITTO. Mr E. W. Richards, hair dresser, Lampeter, has received the following letter, dated 12th April, from his brother, Sergeant G. A. Richards, 17069, 31st Company Royal Engineers, then at Warren- ton, Cape Colony: Dear Brother,-I am taking advantage of a little spare time to send you a few lines to let you see I am still alive and well; in fact, never enjoyed better health than what I do at present, and I hope it will continue so, as a man does not want to be sick on a job like this if he is, it's generally a case with him. You will see that we have made a move towards Mafeking, which place is 170 miles from here, which won't take long after we have repaired the railway bridge which the Boers have destroyed. It's the largest bridge on this line. I think it had twelve spans across the Vaal River. The Boers are in force on the north side, where they have some large guns. We are at a stand-still at present, waiting for a column which has gone round to flank them, the Boers in the meantime amusing themselves by sniping and trying to put shells into our camp, but which is only a waste of ammunition on their part, as they pitch no where near us. The first day they had the range alright. There were a few of the Kimberley Light Horse wourded and seven horses killed, but we are out of range at present. I re- ceived a letter from Ted by the last mail. He states that he has written five or six times; if so, I have not received them. I think I only had one previous to the last. I got a parcel from London with a letter from Teddie (Jim's son). Sorry to to hear that he had been ill, but I hope he is alright again. Give my best respects to them and thank them for the cigars which were quite a treat-being the only ones I have had since I came out, and think oneself lucky to get tobacco at times. I do not reckon there is so much to put up with as I had on the Ashanti Expedition. The climate being so deadly there of course this is far from a soft job. But what is to be done, we do with a good heart and that is half the battle on such jobs as these. I am sending you a photo. I expect you will think it rather rough, but its a rough job we are on, and no Sunday clothes or razor to make yourself look different. It would amuse you to see me getting through my washing at times, which is not as often as anyone would wish. I believe Ted is quite an adept at it. I have no idea how long this war is going to last but I should think three months ought to finish it, but you get news at home sooner than we do here. We are week's sometimes without news about what is going on in other divisions than our own. But it will all come right in the end. I must ask you again not to worry about me anymore than if I were in England as I have not stopped any bullets yet, though awfully near it. I will close this with lore to Father, Lilly, Gess, Ted and Jim when you write, as its beyond me to write to them all, having begged this sheet of paper and stamp, and you see what a splendid correspondent I am at the best of times.—Yours &c. GEORGE. FROM A TREGARONIAN. A letter has been received from the seat of war by Mr David Evans, hair dresser, of this town, from ) his friend Private Dan Driscoll, If Company 1st Welsh Regiment, Field Force, South Africa, dated Springfield Camp near Bloemfontein, O.F.S.A. 19. 4. 1900. The writer says:—I have nothing of im- portance to tell you, we are still encamped in the same place about ten miles outside Bloemfontein doing outpost duty, that is guarding the town and place against surprises from the Boers, although I daresay they will watch attacking us, we taught them a good lesson in the last battle of Drei- fontein. We have bad new clothes and boots which we badly needed, so we are ready now to go and advance at any moment to chase Jonny the Bonce more. They say that we are to begin on the 1st of May, of course I dont know if it is true. In the march and in the battles from Graspan to Bloemfontein we were in the 6th Division that is Kelly Kenny's Division, now we are in the 11th Division of which General Pole Carew is in com- rnand. He inspected us this morning, and gave us a fine speech, So now Dear Dai, how is all Tregaron jfawr and the people therein getting on, remember me to all my kind friends, and all my oid chums.

WORLD IN A WEEK. The rioting in Spain appears to be everywhere increasing in violence. Severe fighting has taken place at Barcelona and Valencia. Smokers will learn with regret that, owing to the demand for the Tuscan briar root, the supply of that article is in a fair way of being exhausted, and that in ten years' time the industry must come to an end. fteuter's Bombay correspondent cables that 15,000 Mohammedan weavers have met at Benares and resolved to memorialise the Government against the plague rules which they declared to be contrary to the works of the Prophet. News of tne wreck near Melbourne of the sailing ship Sierra Nevada and the loss of 23 lives has beeil Tccelve(I in Liverpool, where the vessel was owned. The Sierra Nevada left the Mersey in January for Melbourne, and carried a crew of 28. Mr George Wyndham, Under Secretary for War, said, in the House of Commons last week, that since he had laid before the House of Commons the pro- posals for increasing our military strength there had beer formed twelve batteries of artillery, twenty- one companies of engineers, and twenty battalions of infantry, whilst 29,000 old soldiers had rejoined the colours. The rising in Ashanti is spreading. It was reported last week that Kumasi had fallen. Troops atre massing at Prahsu-aboit midway between CrMje Coast Castle and Kumasi—for the relief of the latter place: but there is no further news of the -garrison. It is believed the Bekwais, who were armed by the Government, have joined the revolt. A Plymouth man, named Henry Watkins. shot himself dead on his wife's grave on Saturday. In his pocket was the pencilled reasons. He had, he wrote, no friends, was out of work, and nothing but the workhouse stared him in the face. He was 50, and his wife died seven years ago. Inquests were held in Lambeth on Saturday on two cbilctren. Both were named Ada Deller, both were a few months old, each was the daughter of a labourer, both lived in the same district, and both were found dead in bed on the same day. The two families were total strangers. An Islington widow who set forth to visit her husband's grave, got so drunk that she had to be taken to the police station on an ambulance. General-Gatacre arrived in London on Saturday. He stated that he had bad luck; several things miscarried; but without wishing to make excuses, he thought they would have gone wrong under any other general. The Sultan of Turkey is having a silver jubilee, and the salaries of public officials are being laid under compulsory tribute in order to provide vol tintary presentations upon the occasion. During the past few days several prominent members of the Wynnstay (Sir W. W. Wynn's) Hunt have been discharging theliabilities incurred the preservation of foxes in the district. The claims put in for the loss of poultry, &c., amount to over £ 500. The season has now finished, and although 134 foxes have been killed, there are still a number in the district hunted by the Wynnstay pack. An odd question of interest to every ocean traveller has arisen in connection with the burial at sea of a New York banker of the name of Wormser while on his way from here to the West Indies. The captain insisted on committing the corpse to the deep within a few hours after the demise with a view to averting the inevitable trouble, delay, and probable quarantine which would have fallen to the share of his ship at the first West Indian port, at which she touched with a dead body on board. On the other hand, the family of the dead banker claim that, inasmuch as he was accompanied by his private physician, who was not only prepared to embalm the body, but also to pay any amount of money for its preserva- tion on ice, the skipper had no legal right to consign the remains to the deep. The Wormser family propose to test the question in a court of law, and have brought a suit for damages against the Atlas Steamship Company, the result of which will be watched with interest by all those who have occasion to undertake an ocean trip. PARLIAMENT. In,the House of Commons on Wednesday, Mr Herbert Roberts moved the second reading of the Sunday Closing (Wales) Act Amendment Bill, which he said, was simply an amended bill which had been introduced in ten successive sessions. It embodied the recommendations of the Royal Commission appointed in 1889, of which Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, was chairman. As to the success of the Sunday Closing Act Mr. Roberts said there was not the shadow of a doubt, Mr. Humphreys-Owen supported the bill, declaring that demands for the amendment of the Sunday Closing Act had come from public bodies of all kinds in Wales. Mr. John Brigg remarked with regard to the three-mile qualification of the bona-fide traveller that it was not now a question of walking but of cycling, and the facilities of getting drunk weve thus much easier than before. Mr. Maclean, in strongly denouncing the measure, expressed his belief that the people of Wales would never have tolerated Sunday closing for so many years if it had been for the fact that the Act had practically become a dead-letter in the populous districts. Mr. Jesse Collings said the Government did not intend to offer any serious opposition to the measure, and Mr. Herbert Roberts said its pro- moters were prepared to make amendments in committee. The bill was read a second time, and referred to the Standing Committee on Law. In the House of Commons on Monday, Mr. Chamberlain, in introducing the Commonwealth Bill, announced that the Government intend to retain the power of appeal, and. pending the con- sideration of any greater scheme, propose to appoint a representative each from South Africa, Pnnafln Australia nnrl India to hp members for seven years of the Privy Council and Lords of Appeal. These persons are to continue to sit in the House of Peer*, though not as judges, after their term has expired. Sir H. Camp- bell-Bannerman thought the Government should have accepted the Federation Bill in its entirety. Mr Chamberlain received very little support for the attitude the Government has adopted towards the Commonwealth Bill. The Opposition has no party object to serve in this business, although Mr Chamberlain, with his usual. misunderstanding of criticism, tried to father on Mr Asquith a threat that Australia might follow the example of the American Colonies. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man condemned the rejection of Clause 74 as an open rebuff" to the Australian people. Sir Charles Dilke contended that no case bad been made out for amendment, and Mr. Haldane urged the Govern- ment not to press upon the Colonies what they do not desire. The Bill was brought in, second reading being fixed for Monday next.

Y RHYFEL. BRWYDR GER ZAND RIVER. Dydd L.un, cymerodd brwydr le rhwng gatrawd y Cadfridog Hutton a'r Boeriaid ger Zand Rfcrer. Hysbysid fod y gelyn yn allu cryf ar yr ochr ogleddol i'r afon, a phan daeth catrawd Hutton o fewn dwy filldir i'r lie canfyddent nifer mawr o bedrolfeni cludyddol y gelyn a cherbydres dan lawn agerdd, ac ymddangosai ei bod mewn cryn anhawsder. Can gynted ag y daeth y catrawd i'rgolwg, agor- asant dan ar y gelyn gydag wyth o gyflegrau. Gan adael y Canadians a'r New Zealanders wrth gefn, symudodd y New South Wales Rifles yn mlaen, a chymerasant feddiant o fryn gyferbyn a Virginia Siding, yn agos i'r afon, ar yr hwn yr oedd amryw o fythynod y Kaffiriaid, a cbymerodd yr Awstral- iaid feddiant o'r rhai hyn. Yn y cyfamser gwtbiodd y Boeriaid eu magnelau ymlaen, yn cynwys un Long Tom," ac agorasant danbeleniad dychrynllyd. Gwnaed ymosodiad unol gan y Boeriaid; taniai tri o'u magnelau ar yr Awstraliaid, a phump ar ran arall o'r gatrawd oedd wrth gefn. Nid oedd ein maes-gyflegrau ni yn ddigon nerthol i gyrhaedd magnelau y Boeriaid, ac wedi dwy awr o frwydro fel hyn, symudodd y gelyn yn mlaen i'r tir agored, er eu bod yu cael eu hysgubc. gan dan yr Awstraliaid. Er gwaethaf hyn, marchogodd corff mawr o'r Boeriaid drwy yr afon, a chyrhaeddasant yr ochr ddeheuol, yna disgynasant, ac ymgripiasantymlaen ar ochr dde yr Awstraliaid, pa rai oeddynt erbyn hyn mewn perygl o gael eu tori ymaith. Adgyfnerthwyd y gelyn, ac ysgubai eu tan y gwastadedd ar y dde o'r tu cefn i'r Awstraliaid, ac am gryn amser ymddangosai yn lied sicr y byddai iddynt gael eu dal. Pa fodd bynag. archwyd i'r Canadians a'r New Zealanders, y rhai a wrthsafent dan dychrynllyd, i wneyd ymosodiad ar yr aden fygythiol, tra fyddai yr Awstraliaid yn cilio yn eu holau, a Ilwyddodd y cynllun yn rhagorol. Cyr- haeddodd ein dynion yn ddiogel i'r bryn ryw ddwy filldir oddiwrth yr afon, ar yr hwn y cydganoloddy Boeriaid eu tan, gan ei wneyd yn anmhosibl i aroa ynddo; mewn canlyniad, symudodd y catrawd yn ol, a gwersyllasant yn Welgelegen. Yn ystod y nos symudodd y gelyn ymaith, gan ddinystrio y pontydd, wedi iddynt yn gyntaf ddwyn eu cerbydres drostynt yn ddiogel. Boreu dydd Mawrth, hysbysodd yr ysbiwyr fod y gelyn wedi cilio o'r golwg, a cbroesodd Hutton a'i gatrawd yr afon, a symudasant ymlaen yn ochelgar ar hyd llinell y gledrffordd, yr hon oedd wedi ei niweidio mewn amryw fanau. Rhoddodd deg ar hugain o'r Rhydd Daleithwyr eu harfau i lawr, gan ddweyd en bod wedi hollol flino aryrhyfel. Cymerwyd tri ugain yn garcharorion. GALLUOEDD ROBERTS YN CROESI YR AFON Gwefrebodd Arglwydd Roberts fel y canlyn:— Cable Cart, Headquarters, dydd Iau, 9-10 y boreu. Yr ydym yn awr wedi croesi y Zand River. Mae y gelyn eto yn dal safle cadarn, ond yr ydym yn eu wtbio yn ol yn raddol. Cable Cart, Zand River, dydd Iau, 12-30 y pryd- nawn. Mae y gelyn ar lawn encil. Yr oeddynt mewn safle yn cyrhaedd am ugain milldir o hyd, ac yr oedd ein llinell ni o angenrheidrwydd yn birach, Gyda gallu mor wasgarog, cymer gryn amser i gael allan beth yw ein colled, ond yr wyf yn hyderus nad ydyw yn fawr. Mae y meirch-filwyr a'r meirch-gyflegrau yn erlid ar ol y gelyn ar hyd dair o ffyrdd. Ychydig ydyw y manylion, a'r eglurbad ar hyny ydyw fod maes y frwydr mor eang. Cyrhaeddai llinell y Boeriaid am ugain milldir, ac yr oedd ein llinell ni mewn canlyniad yn hirach, ond fe welir ar unwaith fod brwydr o gryn bwysigrwydd wedi ei hymladd, a buddugoliaeth wedi ei hennill. Erbyn prydnawn dydd Mercber gellir sylwi yr oedd byddin Arglwydd Roberts yn rhifo oddeutu 30,000 wedi cjrhaedd mewn lie o'r enw Welgelegen, ychydig filldiroedd ar yr ochr ddeheuol i Zand River. Yn ychwanegol at gatrawd y Cadfridog Hutton, cynwysai y gallu mawr yma adranam y Cadfridogion Pole-Carew, Ian Hamilton, Tucker, a meirch-filwyr y Cadfridog French. Cynwysai hefyd nifer mawr o fagnelau, yn cynwys gynau gwarcbae a gynau llyngesol. Yr oedd y Cadfridog Hutton wedi cael allan I drwy ei ymdrechion blaenorol fod y Boeriaid yn < rhifo oddeutu 10,000, gyda llawer o fagnelau mewn ] safle ar ochr ogleddol yr afon. j Dyma sefyllfa pethau nos Fercher, ac ymddengys I i'r symudiad yn mlaen ddechreu yn gynar foreu dydd Iau, oblegid dywed y Maeslywydd am ychydig wedi naw eu bod wedi croesi yr afon, ond fod y gelyn yn dal safle cadarn, a'u bod yn eu gwthio yn ol yn raddol. Ychydig gyda thair awr yn ddiwedd- arach dywed yr ail gcnadwri fod y gelyn ar lawn encil, a bod y meirch-filwyr yn eu herlid ar hyd dair o ffyrdd. Mac erlid iad ar ol y gelyn gan yr oil o feirch-filwyr French gyda meirch gyflegrau, yn arwyddo nid yn unig golliant hollol, ond hefyd ffoedigaeth llythyrenol, ond mae y Boeriaid wedi enwogi eu hunain gymaint yn eu gallu i encilio, fel mae yn fwy na thebyg eu bod wedi llwyddo i sicrhau dihangfa hefyd y tro hwn. MESURAU LLYMACH I'R GELYN. GWNEUD I WASGIAD RHYFEL GAEL EI THEIMLO. Mae Arglwydd Roberts yn ei symudiad yn mlaen wedi mabwysiadu mesurau llymach na'r rhai blaen- orol i'r diben o roddi terfyn a'r fan frwydrau y tu cefn iddo, wedi i'w alluoedd symud yn mlaen. Cymerir meddiant o geffylau a dinystrir ffermdai lie y ceir gynau ynddynt, a chymerir yr holl dlynion a geir ynddynt i'r ddalfa. Dwedir fod colledion y Boeriaid yn Brandfort yn llawer iawn trymach nag y credid eu bod ar y cyntaf. YMWELIAD A'R ARLYWYDD STEYN. YMLADD HYD Y DIWEDD. Mae yr Arlywydd Steyn yn parhau yn bender- fynol o byd, dwedodd wrth ohebydd y dydd o'r blaen, Fe ymladdwn hyd y diwedd nid oes dim un o'n dinaswyr yn anewyllysgar i ymladd, ac ni buodd y syniad o adael y Transvaal erioed dan ystyriaeth: Fe ymladdwn yn Vaal River, yn Pre- toria, ac wedi hyny yn y mynyddoedd. Nid oes genym ddim byd i'w obeitliio ,,acliwrth heddweh, j phobpeth i'w enill drwy ymladd. Maepob buddug oliaeth ysgafn Brvdeinig wedi cael ej dilyn gai orchfygiad Prydeinig dychrynllyd. Afae o-ai Elandslaagte ei Cholenso—Belmont ei -[odde River, a Bloemfontein ei Sanna's Post. BUDDUGOLIAETH ZAND RIVER. MAXYLION PELLACH. Mae y manylion sydd wedi dyfod i law yn dangos fod y gweithrediadau dydd Iau wedi en coroni a llwyddiant perffaith. Yr oedd niihvyr y Cadfridog Hutton y dyddiau blaenorol wcdi casghi gwvbodaeth lied gywir o barthed i safle a nerth y gelyn. Nos Fercher yr oedd catrawd y Chesbires wedi croesi yr afon, ac yn barod i gadw meddiant o'r rhyd er gwasanaeth y catrodau oedd yn eu dilyn. Ar doriad y wawr dydd lau croesodd y prif gorphlu yr afon mewn dau neu dri o wahanol fanau. Ar y pryd yr oedd y ineirchfilwyr ar waith yn clirio ymaith alluoedd blaenaf y Boeriaid, er hyrwyddo y symudiad cyffredinol yn mlaen. 1 Yr oedd y gelyn yn dal llinell estynedig, ac anbawdd i'w hamddiffyn. Yn y rhan fwyaf o achosion syrthient yn eu holau y funud y bygythid eu hochrau. Aden dde y Boeriaid oedd y gyntaf i roddi ffordd, ond cafodd y Cadfridogion Tucker a Hamilton orchwyl lied galed ar yr aswy. Yr oedd gan y gelyn chwech o gyflegrau, a defnyddient hwynt yn rbagoro!, gan weithio gyda phenderfyniad mawr; ond yn nes ac yn nes y gweithiai ein llanciau dewrion tuag atynt, ac yn y cyfamser yr oedd ein magnelau yn tanio yn ddidor. Erbyn unarddeg o'r gloch yr oedd yr East Lancashire.* a'r Sussexs wedi gweithio eu ffordd i wynebu y gelyn. Rhoddwyd archeb, ac fel flach- iad neidiodd y ddwy gatrawd ysblenydd yma yn mlaen yn gydsymudol, ac mewn ychydig eiliadau yr oeddynt wedi sicrhau dau o fryniau isel man- teisiol. Yr oedd llinell y gelyn yn deneu, ac yn y fan hon syrthiodd y Boeriaid yn ol yn uniongyrchol y canfyddasant ein dynion yn dyfod yn mlaen. Erbyn byn yr oedd ein llinell flaenaf o fewn i chwarter milldir i brif amglawdd y gelyn, ond yr oeddynt yn barod yn decbreu digaloni o herwvdd ein syinudiadau ar eu hochr. Cadwent i danio yn gyflym, ond gwyllt, ac yr eiliad hon rhoddwyd archeb Yn dynion i wneud y rbutbr ddiweddaf. Ar darawiad, dacw fechgyn Lancashire a Snssex ymaith eto, ond nis gallai y Boeriaid sefyll. Bolltiasant ymaith yn deer, ac yr oedd gorchfycriad y gelyn ar hyd yr holl linell yn gyfiawn, ffcont ymaith gyda'r brys mwyaf, ac erlidiai ein meirch- fil wyr ar eu holau. RHYDDHAD MAFEKING. SYMUDIAD CYFLYM YN MLAEN. Y GOLOFN YN VRYBURG DYDD MERCHER. Cape Town, Mai 10. Mae gallu arbenig tuag at ryddhau Mafeking wedi pasio drwy Vryburg. Pretoria, Mai 10. Daeth hysbysiad heddyw fod colofn Brydeinig i ryddhau Mafeking yn symud yn mlaen yn gyflym ar hyd linell cledrffordd Bechuana. Mae y gaHu yn rhifo 3,000, ac yn ymwthio yn mlaen yn ddiaros ddydd a nos. Cyrhaeddasant Vryburg ddoe. Nid oes hysbysiad am ddim ymladd, ond dywed- iad fod commandos Boeraidd yn peri blinder i'r Prydeiniaid. CYMERYD MEDDIANT 0 KROONSTAD. FFOEDIGAETH Y BOERIAID. Y TRANSVAALWYR YN GWRTHOD YMLADD YN MHELLACH YN Y RHYDD DALAETH. Aeth Arglwydd Roberts i mewn yn fuddugol- iaethus i Kroonstod yn gynar prydnawn dydd Sadwrn, a byny yn ddiwrthwynebiad, a dodwyd y faner Brydeinig i fyny i chwifio yn nghanol yr ycbydig drigolion Prydeinig oedd yn y Ile. Yr oedd Steyn wedi ffoi prydnawn dydd Gwener ar ol ymgais ofer i berswadio y dinaswyr i barhau yn eu gwrthsafiad. Prydnawn dydd Gwener cyrhaeddodd amryw gatrodau o'r meirchfilwyr i orsaf Boschrand, o fewn i wyth milldir i Kroonstad, He v cawsant v Boeriaid wedi amgloddio eu hunain roewn safle rhagorol. Arafodd hyn y symudiad yn mlaen am dipyn, ond wedi canfod pwynt gwan yn arfogaeth y gelyn, gyrodd Gordon gatrawd i'w hamgylchu ar yr ochr dde, tra yr oedd y gatrodau eraill yn eu bygwth yn y wyneb, ar vr ochr aswy. Gweithiodd cynllun yn llwyddianus, yn raddol gweithiodd y Lancers eu ffordd yn mlaen tua safle y gelyn, gan ymladd yn ddygn. ac o'r diwedd rhuthrasant yr amgloddiau. Ar hyn enciliodd y Boeriaid yn gryno tua Kroonstad, ac arbosodd Gordon yn y safleoedd a enillwyd drwy y nos. Tra yr oedd hyn yn myned yn mlaen, yr oedd French gyda'r Scots Guards a chatrodau eraill ar aden aswy y Boeriaid yn gweithredu gydag yni mawr. Yn y prydnawn gwtbiodd yn mlaem i Blomspruit, ar y Valch River. Yr oedd y gelyn yma mewn nerth mawr, ond syrthiasant yn eu holau yn union pan y gwelsant nerth galluoedd French, ac fel y cafwyd allan wedi hyny, gwrthododd y Boeriaid, gan mwyaf yn Rhydd Daleithwyr, ymladd yn benderfynol. Treuloidd French y noson hono yn Blomspruit. Yr oedd pawb yn barod am frwydr galed er meddianu Kroonstad, ond o'r br-iidd yr oedd y dydd wedi gwawrio, pan yr ymddangosai yn ol pob tebyg, fod y gelyn wedi bolltio ymaith, ychydig cyn haner dydd daeth Maer Kroonstad ac eraill allan i gyfarfod Arglwydd Roberts, a gwnaethant ymostyngiad ffurfiol o'r dref. Dywed- ent ei bod wedi ei gwaghau yn bollol gan y dinas- wyr yn ystod v nos. ac nad oedd dim un vmladdwr wedi aros ar ol. Felly teithiodd Roberts a'i fyddin yn mlaen i Kroonstad, ac enillwyd y lie beb golli dafn o waed. Llwyddodd y Boeriaid i wneud yn sicr o'u di- hangfa mewn pryd, a chymerasant gyda hwynt eu holl ddefnyddiau rhyfel, ynghyd a'r stoc symudol perthynol i'r gledrffordd. Treuliasant y rhan fwyaf o nos Wener yn dinystrio gorsaf y gledrffordd, ac yn llosgi ystor a defnyddiau ymborth y rhai nas gallent en cludo ymaith. Ychydig o'r Rhydd Daleitbwyr sydd wedi myned tua'r gogledd. Maent yn llithro yn llad- radaidd i'w cartrefi, neu i dai cyfeillion. Yn ofer y deisyfai Steyn arnynt i barhau i ymla.dd dros eu rbyddid. Yr oedd bygythion ac addewidion yr un mor ddieffaith. O'r diwedd, wedi myned yn wall- gof gan nwyd. ciciodd a dyrnodiodd y dinaswyr gwan galon. Cymerodd gwawlarlunydd antur- iaethus arlun o'r olygfa, yr hwn yn eglur a ar- ddengys Steyn yn taraw y dinaswyr. Mae copiau o hono yn cyrhaedd pris ucliel. Diangodd Steyn i gyfeiriad gogledd-dwyreiniol. RHWYDO YR INNISKILLINGS. LLADD AMRYW, CYMERYD 16 YN GARCHAR- ORION. Yn ymyllle o'r enw Geneva, dydd Iau, syrthiodd parti o'r Inniskillings i gryn drvbini tra yr oeddynt yn erlid ar ol y Boeriaid. Gwelent faner wen yn chwifio mewn ffermdy. a tbroisant yno yn ham- ddenol i gael ychydig fwyd a gorphwysdra. Tra yr oeddynt yn dechreu dadgyfrwys eu ceffylau tywalltwyd tan dychrynllyd arnynt allan o ffenestri y ty. Lladdwyd amryw o'n dynion gan yr ergyd- ion cyntaf- Trodd y ty allan i fod yn llawn o'r Boeriaid. Cymerwyd 16 o'n dynion yn garchar- orion, ac yr oedd y rhan fwyaf o honynt wedi eu clwyfo.

Rhamant y Rhyfel: PENOD II. Ar ol ei gymeryd yn garcharor, llwyddodd Daf- ydd i ddianc mewn modd tra chyfrwys. Pan yr oedd ef a thorf o'i gydfilwyr diarfog yn cael eu harwain tua Pretoria, cymerodd fantais i ffoi o dan fantell y nos. Tra yr oeddynt yn cael eu harwain gan y Boeriaid o faes y frwydr, tua'r rheilffordd agosaf i'w cludo i'r ddinas, daethant un noson ar draws afon go lydan. Yr oedd un ochr iddi, yn y man lie yr oedd yn rhaid iddynt groesi, yn fas a graianog ar y lan nesaf atynt, ac yr oedd tipyn o geulan yn llawn brvsglwyni yr ochr arall. Cyr- hacddwyd glan yr afon tua chanol nos. Yr oedd mor dywyll a'r fagddu. Nid oedd ond myrdd o ser yn goleuo y ffurfafen, ac o'r braidd y gellid gweled amlinelliad y bryniau cylchynol. Croesodd y rhan fwyaf o'r Boeriaid ar gefn ceffylau, a rhoddwyd y cynorthwy gore a ellid i'r carcharorion mwyaf clwyfedig. Cynygwyd cynorthwy anifail i Dafydd gan ei fod wedi ei glwyfo yn dost, ond gwrthododd a dewisodd i bracso hi drwy'r dw'r rhwng dau arall. Eglurodd Dafydd ei gynllun i'w gyfeillion yn swn y rhyd. Yr oedd yn bwriadu dianc y noson hono-deled drwg, deled da. Ceisiodd ei gyfeillion ei ddarbwyllo, ond yn ofer. A dyma'r mcdd y llwyddodd i ddianc. Dywedasom ei fod yn croesi yr afon rhwng dau ffrynd iddo. Pan yr oeddynt yn nesu at y lan, arcbodd Dafydd iddynt nesu at eu gilydd, a cherddodd yntau o'r tu ol iddynt, a thra yr oeddynt bron hyd eu ysgwyddau yn y dw'r suddodd Dafydd danodd, a nofiodd gryn bellder gyda'r gwaelod, a cbododd ei ben nesaf yn nghanol y brvsglwyni. Bu yn y dw'r fel hyn am tua haner awr cyn mentro symud. Or diwedd ymgripiodd i'r lan, ac ymlwvbrodd ei oreu yn y tywyllwch am tua dwy awr i fyny gyda glan yr afon. Gyda'r wawr ciliodd o lan yr afon ac ym- lusgodd i fyny ar hyd ael bryn, gan ymguddio yn yr eithin, ac ymguddio fel hyn y bu trwy gydol y dydd heb ddim bwyd na diod. Wedi ceisio sychu ei ddillad syrthiodd i drwmgwsg gan faint ei ludded. Yn ffodus iddo, tywynai yr haul trwy y dydd, ond yr oedd yr eithin tewfrig yn ei ddiogelu rhag niwed oddiwrth ei belydrau tanboeth. Tra yr oedd Dafydd yn gorwedd yn y modd bwn mewn trwm- gwsg daeth ci bychan heibio, ac ni fu y creadur j bach yn hir cyn dechreu ei lyfu, ac wrth weled nad D oedd y gwr dieithr yn symud dechreuodd a cbyf. j. arth mor brysur ag y medrai wrth ei glust. Bl. cyfarthiad y ci yn foddion i gysylltu llawer o i ddrychfeddyliau yn meddwl Dafydd. Yr oedd i pob "bow-bow" a roddai y creadur bach yn asio r rbyw gadwen yn adgofion y c\SUIHUII'. \r oedd Dafydd vn ei gwsg yn credu ei l<^i unwaith eto vn he'a llvgod ffrengii yn Ion Pendt'oi. a phc Luai-cch .vn sefyll ^erllaw gallasech gjv wtd daui brvsur rb 'vdgd(io ef a'r ci.

Mor fawr vdoedd lludded DafVdd, ac mor drwm y cysgai, fel na fedrai y ci er cyfa'^tli a chrafu fyth ei ddihuno. Ond pan yr oedd yr ha'ulbrona mach- lud dros y bryn cyferbyniol, a'r niwi\vn dechreu ymgrynhoi yn y glyn, torodd swn aralA ar glust Dafydd, a pharodd ei arswyd digamsynVed 1W wyneb welwi.

Nid breuddwydio yr oedd dychryn yn treiddio trwy bob modfedd o gorff y cysgadur, ac yr oedd ei wyneb yn welw gan ofn angwiol. Dyhunodd. Nid breuddwydio yr oedd yn awr. Gwyddai o'r goreu fod y swn yna yn cael ei chwythu allan o enenau dur didrugaredd, ac ei fod yn golygu marwolaetb a chelanedd. Ni feidd- iai godi ei ben. Ymlllsgodd àr hyd y ddaearrhwng y brysglwyni nes y daeth o hyd i dwll, tebyg i dwll llwynog, ac wedi tori twsw o eithin. aeth i mewn gan dynu yr eithin ar ei ol nes can a cbuddio genau a twll yn hollol. Ni fu yn hir yn y fan yma cyn clywed lleisiau dynol yn dyfod yn nes-nes ato. Teimlai ei hun yn dra diogel yn y twll: eto braw- ychai fwy yn awr wrth glywed llais dyn, na phe ctywai ruadr y Hew. Gorweddodd rhai o'r dynion wrth ochr y twll i ysmocio a llwytho eu drylliau, a chyda eu bod yn dechreu siarad. deallodd Dafydd yn union mai Boeriaid oeddynt. Ond yn eu plith yr oedd Cymro. Pwy oedd hwn, tybed ?

LLITH HEN GARDI. "Wei, y mhlant i," medde Miss Jones, y ffeirad, wrth i dosparth y Sul o'r bla'n, beth sy' ar ol bedydd? Y cowbocs, mam," llefai geneth fach mewn attebiad yn union. Sobor anwl y ma' hi yn ddrwg tuhwnt yn yr India. Y mae y bobol yn trengu wrth y milodd o ddydd i ddydd ac i wneyd drwg yn wa'th y ma' pla marwol wedi tori mas ac yn difa y trueined fel gwibed. Cato'n powb, meddyliwch am yr adyn annhrugarol'na a elwir John Bull yn parhau yn' fyddar i'w cri. Y mae c' y rascal brwnt wrthi yn crebachu mwy a mwy o dir yn yr Affric tra y mae yn methu gofalu yn briodol am y deilied sy' gyda ag e' 'n barod yn yr India a mane erill. Nid yw cwareli y Penrhyn yn llwyddo haner cystal wedi yr angbydfod blin bwnw fuodd rhwng Arglwydd Penrhyn a'r gweithwyr. Y mae yn hynod fel y ma' dialedd a chosp yn diiyn pob trais a gorthrwm. Ni feddyliodd Arghvydc1 Penrbyn, druan, fawr ei fod wrth ymddwyn fel ag y gwnaeth at y dynion yn agor dorau i lifeiriant a ai yn drech nac ef a'i holl gyfoeth yn bur iuan. Wrth geisio cau cwareli y Penrhvn ni wnacth my lord, druan, ond rhoi bloeg ar (laorau rhydlyd masnach lecbe yr Amerig. Hau gwynt a medi corwynt fuodd hi sha'r Penrhyn. Digon slac a slow yw pethe yno 'n awr. Yn lie bod y wlad hon yn hela slats wrth y milodd i'r Amerig, y mae'r Ianci, welwch chi. yn hela slats i'r wlad hon ynllongeide, a rheiny yn llawer tshepach na rhai y Penryn. # Every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it." Felly y clywes y darfu i rywun rywdro gcisio cyffesu ei fyrbwylldra. Y ma'r ymadrodd, mi greda.'yn taro Lord Solsbri i'r dim. Pe cyfaddefai ef ei fod bob tro yr egyr ei geg, yn rhoi ei dro'd ynddi, gwnai gyffesiad go wirioneddol. 0 leia, y ma' pawb rwy'n gweld yn cydnabod i fod e wedi gwneyd tro dwl dros ben wrth ddanod a dwrdo y Paddis ar hyn o bryd. Dyna'r Frenhines wedi bod yn y Weiddon yn gwneyd i gore i greu teimlade da; a dyma bawb yn camol y milwyr Gwyddelig am wmladd mor gampus yn Sowth Affrica, a dyma ryw ragolygon am ddyddie gwell i'r Ynys Werdd, ac eli i glwyfe y genedl, a gyda byn oil dyma Brif Weinidog y Deyrnas yn gwneyd y tro ffola y medre y mwyaf annoeth fyth ei wneyd. Tra y mae pawb ny gwneyd ei oreu glas i uno pob llwyth a cbenedl o fe.vn yr Ymherodraeth yn yr argyfwng presenol, dyma My Lord, welwch cbi, yn edliw i'r Paddis eu tèyrngaiwch-a hyny ar adeg pryd y ma milodd o honynt yn tywallt eu gwaed dros eu gwlad—neu yn liV Vli.di dros wlad Solsbri. Golwg dywyll iawn ma' Solsbri yn gymeryd ar ddyfodol y wlad 'ma. I ni i fod dan felldith feI yr Ishmael gynt—yn elynion i bawb, a phawb yn elynion i ni. Fe fuodd amser 'slawer dydd pan yr o'dd deddf y wlad yn gofyn i bawb godi iwen wrth ei ddrws er iddo ga'l bod yn shwr o'i fwa a sa'th. it'Ia'n debyg fod Solsbri, druan, wedi breuddwydo breuddwyd, ac wedi gwel'd rbyw luo'dd o dacle di- gwilydd a digalon yn hedfan fel brain o Ffrainc a Germani, a pbob man bron, ac yn disgyn ar ein meusydd ni. Yn awr i chi, i ga'l gwarad o'r rhain, mynte Solsbri, y ma'n rbaid i bawb ddysgu cydio'n i ddrvll. Ma digon o ofan bwganod a'r frain yn Shir Abarteifi 'ma—ond i chi wneyd un go lew o daclus. Ag w' i welwch chi yn credu nag os dim ise rbagor na bwgan ar Bryden-a rhai pert irfeddu i wneyd bwganod yw y Meistri Chamberlen a Solsbri.
