SENDING OUT REINFORCEMENTS.
VOLUNTARY RECRUITS. LONDON, December 7. (Received Feb. 8, at 0.8 a.m.) . Tlio War Office is sending promptly 30,000 mounted forces beyond those already landed in South Africa. Ten thousand yeomanry will shortly be available and 8000 constabulary, including those enlisted in the colonies. It is estimated that 5000 new colonial contingents will replace those withdrawn, and the Home establishment contribute the balance from cavalry and mounted troops. The troopship Aurania takes the first batch on Saturday. Recruits are rushing into the volunteer companies to replace those who have been 12 months at the front.
