Adelaide, Cape Colony, March 13. - Kritzinger's commando is working northward and eluded three British columns. It passed here on both sides of the town without attacking. Yesterday evening a Boer patrol captured four native scouts and shot three of them. Kritzinger's men have carried off all the horses in the Albany district, for which, as they were registered, Great Britain will have to pay 10,000 pounds. The raiders were civil to the inhabitants of the districts, but they commanded horses and food. They did not indulge in the wanton destruction of property and, in very many cases, offered cash for the food they obtained.
