NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE only important news from South Africa either as concerns war or peace is that Lord Kitchener organised two " drives " during the week in the Transvaal, in which some two hundred and sixty-seven Boers were accounted for. It is to be noted that Lord Kitchener reports with evident pride that no " wheels " were used, which seems to show that those who ventured to doubt the wisdom of chasing the Boers in ox- waggons were not altogether foolish.
