ADDITIONAL BOER LOSSES.

(Electric Telegraph— Copyright— United Press Association-) LONDON, Alarch 15. Repeated attempts of a small commando to break north through the British lines between. Bloemfontein and Thabanchu have been repulsed with loss. Kruitzinger_ forced a passage at Leeuwdrift, foiling Colonel DeLisle's plan to jamb the Boers m a fork of the Great Fish and Koonap rivers. Commandant De Jagger, a noted Natal rebel, has been sentenced to five years' imprisonment and fined £500 for treason. The Boers shot two British prisoners at Walmaranstad ; also three burghers, for refusing to fight. Commandant Delarey ordered the execution, to revenge the defeat at Hartebeestefontein. Lord jMothuen captured Commandant Peerson, who was largely responsible for the tragedy,.

The Sun haS dismissed the author of the garbled accounts, who is its Ottawa correspondent. > Air Chamberlain, addressing the British Women's Emigrations Association, anticipated that hundreds and thousands of * men would proceed to South Africa after the war, with a proportionate emigration of women.
