The War Office is forwarding through the Agents-General tender form- for three years' supply, from October, 1902, of frozen meat for Gibraltar, for an average of 10,000 lbs of beef and 50001bs of mutton weekly." Tenders will be opened on August 18th. A reserve of 195,000-b of meat is to ba kept at Gibraltar.
The Remounts Court, of Enquiry, presided over by General Robert Biddu.ph. examined Mr Copeland, Agent-General for New South Wales, .who strongly protested that the colonies had not claimed consideration on the ground of a spirit of gratitude for theirwar services in the war, but wished for business on a basis of mutual advantage. The price for suitable Australian horses •had risen at least to £15, and the number would be limited unless the authorities ordered the remounts in such a way as to give time to properly break-in horses. Imperial receiving depots were essential.
