M Judge Lewis asked Garwood if he would acquit a man if it was clearly S roven that he was insane at the time i* was eoiiiiuiirod. Mr. Garwood replied tuat he would. After a few more questions from Judge Lewis, Garwood was accepted. The third of the panel called to the bj.tr was Joshua Winner, a farmer of North Collins.

The only relief to the drain upon the resources of the nation is the money which is expected to be realized by the sale of farms belonging to those irreconcilable Boers who have left their wives and cuiidreu to the care of Lord Kitchener. This relief can only be very trifling, however, and it is huruly likely to nave an appreciable effect. Commenting on tne military situa tion, the correspondent says: “The newspapers are clamoring for energetic prosecution of the straggle and are pleased to be able to print Lord Kitchener’s announcement of tne cap ture of Koch’s commando and the Car olina commando. “Tnese British successes are regarded as some compensatiou for the reverses reported last week. Geueral Louis Botha has now lost a large number of his cattle, and he may find it necessary to alter considerably his plans. "Kretzinger endeavored to imitate the example set him by Smuts, of cutting his way through the British lines. He failed, but Lovant’s scouts suffered se verely in keeping him soutn of the Orange river. Plenty of Ammunition. “The appareutlv inexhaustible supply of ammunition which the Boer> nave at their commana is the subject of consid erable talk among Stock Exchange men. Doubtless the stores imported before the war have not yet been entirely used up, or captured, but private advices point to a possible leauage at Cape Town and otner points.” A serious state of tilings prevails iu Cape Colony, from the Orange river to tue sea. It is iu a condition of open or incipient rebellion. A letter from an Express correspondent at Capo Town tells of pilia-hng commandoes, wander ing free from serious interference; of farms deserted by their rebel prospect ors; of armored trains that have been forced to patrol tue hues as far south as Paarlor Worcester, aud of the strength ening of the defenses at Capo Town it self. For the first time ir is now known in this country that Schoepers succeeded iu capturing the loyal delegates on their reiuru to their homes in Oudisokorn from welcoming the Duke of Cornwall at Cape Town. Lorn Kitchener’s mes sage clears up the mystery as to the lo cation of the waterworks mentioned in recent dispatches, reporting the capture of two guss by the Boers. It was gen erally understood that the Pretoria wa terworks were referred to, but it is now clear tnat it was the Etotfuifontoiu wa- tvrworks from which the captured guns ami escort started. It is a singurar coincidence that the battery whicu lost a gun nstr the wa terworks in the fiirin of March 31, IlHW, suouiu lose two m re within 15 niiles of that place lb months later.
