Received October 26, 1.9 a.m. London, October 25. — Mr Wyndham, speaking at Bradford, said the Government was prepared to take every step recommended by its military advisers with regard to South Africa. There was nothing more impressive than Lord Kitchener's stoical dignity in pursuing his course, withcn.it wearing his heart on his sleeve for everyone to peck at, and not confiding in every tattling newspaper correspondent. (Cheers.) The Government policy was to finish the war at the earliest possible time, and to give Lord Kitchener all he asked in the execution of his plans, which would be formed as best adapted for the Country and the tactics of the enemy.
