WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY ON THE BATTLE FIELD.
A Cape paper states that Sir Redvers Buller is awaiting Captain Kennedy's arrival with the Marconi wireless telegraphy apparatus. Captain Kennedy is to establish communications between the various camps with the least possible delay. 'We do not expect the slightest difficulty,' said he. ' The system has been bo improved upon, and brought to such a state of perfection that we expect to have our apparatus in working order four days after landing at Cape Town. We do not know at present what point we shall be sent to, but I am informed that we shall be directly under the command of General Sir Redvers Buller. The apparatus will enable us to establish communications over 250 miles in extent, and we can defy any attempt to ll tap " the messages. Our htations can be so rapidly removed from place to place that we can entirely disappear from human vision in half an hour, taking our apparatus with us,'
