STILL SNIPING.
THE WAR MEDAL AND ITS DESIGN. FRANK STATEMENT ABOUT S.A. HOSPITALS. (United Press Association' — By Electric Teleokaph - Copyright. ) London, Nov. 13. One hundred and fifty Boers dispersed eighteen men escorting a small convoy near Ch'istiana, wounding several. The Government have ordered 150,000 silver war medals. There is to be a portrait of the Queen on the obverse and of Peace offering a laurel wreath to the British and colonial army on the reverse. Sydney, Nov. 14. Dr Scott Skirving, who accompanied the N.S. Wales troops as consulting surgeon, has returned from South Africa. He says the medical arrangements were far from perfect, but did not deserve all Mr BurdettCoutts' strictures. Many of the hardships reported were necessarily incidental to warfare.
