Col. Baden-Powell Confident.

A message has been received from Colonel Baden-Powell, dated the 6th, which states that he has still three months' food for the garrison at Mafeking, and has no intention of giving away one bit to the besiegers, who have increased their numbers but not their effectiveness.

A Story About Mafeking.

LONDON, January 23rd.

A Modder River correspondent transmits an amusing story of the siege of Mafeking. It seems that Colonel Baden-Powell unearthed an old ship's 7-pounder, firing solid shell. The enemy were much disconcerted, wondering how he acquired his new Ordnance.
