A NEW ZEALANDER WOUNDED.
Wellington, May 5. The Agent-General has telegraphed to the Premier as follows:—" Regret to inform you that Piivato James V. Fahey was dangerously wounded at Tbaba N'chu."
HOW THE EOEUS GOT THEIR LONG TOMS. 1 The circumstances iu which the Boers became possessed of so many Long Toms have now become known 1 (says the Vienna correspondent of the Standard). Most oF thorn are identical with the siege ordnance which were ordered by Servia about two years ago at the Creusot works, but were not I delivered because payment could not be mads in cash at the time, and Treasury bills were refused. Servia has now claimed delivery of the guns, offering the money down; but the manufacturers have been forced to admit that they were sent to the Transvaal last year on receipt of an urgent order.
