was a Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General at Peshawar when
the Mutiny broke out, and was then attached as Staff Officer to

Chamberlain's successor, the famous General John Nicholson; in the
artillery at the siege of Delhi and also on the staff, guided the
force relieving Lucknow from the Alumbagh to the Dilkusha, and at
night was sent back to the Alumbagh to fetch ammunition. He was
attached after the relief to Sir Hope Grant's cavalry division,
and gained his V.C. at Khudaganj in January, 1858. In April he
was invalided home, returning in 1859. In 1863 he was sent on the
Umbeyla Expedition against the Bunerwals, and in 1867 to Zulu in
Abyssinia, where he was left to organise the transport for Lord
Napier of Magdala's expedition against King Theodore. He was sent
home with despatches and given the brevet of Lieut.-Colonel. For
his services in the Lushai Expedition of 1871-72 he received a
C.B., and he was made Brevet-Colonel and Quartermaster-General in
1875. Holding that Russia's advance in Central Asia should be met
by extending the Indian N.W. frontier, he was brought (through Lord
Napier of Magdala and Disraeli) into relations with Lord Lytton
when Viceroy, and in 1878 was given the command of the Punjaub
Frontier Force. When General Sir Neville Chamberlain's Mission to
the Amir of Afghanistan was stopped at Ali Masjid in 1878, Roberts
commanded the troops which advanced up the Kuram Valley and forced
the Peiwar Kotal Pass. He was made Major-General and K.C.B. and
thanked by Parliament. After the Treaty of Gundamuk he was recalled
for special work to Simla, but on Major Cavagnari's murder he
returned to his force at Kuram and advanced on Kabul, occupying
it after defeating the Afghans at Charasia, and two months later
holding Sherpur cantonments against a large Afghan force. After the
British defeat at Maiwand he led a force of 10,000 men under great
difficulties to Kandahar and defeated Ayab Khan's Army (August,
1880) when he again received the thanks of Parliament and was
made a baronet and a G.C.B. He was sent out to South Africa after
Majuba, but arrived when peace had been made and returned at once.
He commanded the Madras Army 1881-85, and was Commander-in-Chief
in India 1885-93. He was made a Peer in 1892, Field-Marshal 1895,
and was Commander-in-Chief in Ireland 1895-99. In December of that
year he was sent to take command in South Africa, and in February
began his great march to Bloemfontein and Pretoria. He enveloped
Cronje's army, which surrendered February 27, 1900 at Paardeberg,
and on April 13 he entered Bloemfontein and on June 5 Pretoria. He
completed his work by defeating the Boers at Machadorp at the end
of August, and returned to England to become Commander-in-Chief
just before Queen Victoria's death. He was made an Earl and a K.G.,
and was formally thanked for his services by King Edward VII. He
served in his new post till its abolition in 1904, doing much to
raise, improve and modernise the army, and to raise the standard
of musketry, and till the beginning of 1906 he continued to serve
on the Imperial Defence Committee. From then till his death he
strongly advocated compulsory military service, and was President
of the National Service League. He was keenly interested in the war
of 1914, and the last work which he initiated was the collection of
field glasses for the troops. He retained his vigour to the last.
He was one of the kindliest of men, and one of the most profoundly
religious; and the private soldier, who adored him as "Bobs," had
no better friend. He m., 1859, Nora, dau. of Captain John Bows; one
son died in infancy, the other was killed at Colenso, after having
been recommended for the V.C., and the earldom passed, by special

of Tokar in the Sudan Expedition of 1891. In 1892 he helped, as
First Lieutenant of H.M.S. _Dolphin_, to rescue the officers and
crew of the Brazilian corvette _Almirante Barroza_, and in 1894
jumped overboard and rescued a midshipman from drowning off the
coast of Sardinia. In 1900 he commanded the British Naval Brigade
at the capture of the Taku forts, and afterwards directed the
allied forces in the operations for the relief of Tientsin and
of Sir Edward Seymour's column. He wrote two interesting books,
"Wrinkles in Seamanship, or a Help to Salt Horse" (1894), and
"Whispers from the Navy" (1907). In 1909 he was appointed A.D.C.
to the King. In 1911, when the P.O. liner _Delhi_ stranded with
the Duke and Duchess of Fife off the Morocco coast, he rendered
valuable assistance. A born leader and thoroughly trusted by his
officers and men, he faced overwhelming odds in his last contest,
joining battle in accordance with the traditions of the British
Navy and fighting till the last.
=The Marchese Visconti-Venosta=, five times Foreign Minister of
Italy, died on November 28, aged 85. Born at Milan, January 22,
1829, and belonging to a family who came from the Vallettino,

corresponded with Mazzini, but broke with him after the Milan
rising of 1853, and supported Cavour. He was Royal Commissioner of
the Kingdom of Sardinia to receive Garibaldi in 1859, and was sent
on special missions to the Courts of England and France. He was
elected to the sub-Alpine Parliament in 1860 as member for Tirano,
and in 1860 was sent to Naples to prepare the way for Garibaldi.
In 1864 he became Foreign Minister in the Minghetti Cabinet and
negotiated with Napoleon III. the Convention for the withdrawal of
the French troops from Rome. On the resignation of the Cabinet he
went as Minister to Constantinople, but returned in 1866 to resume
his former part in the Ricasoli Ministry and negotiated the cession
to Italy of Venetia; and he was also in the same office from 1869
to 1876, during which period Rome became the Italian capital. He
fell in 1876 with the Right, and only returned in 1896 as Foreign
Minister in the Rudini Ministry, but resigned after the Milan riots
of 1898. He again returned to his former office in the Pelloux and
Saracco Ministries 1899-1901, and in 1905 he represented Italy at

in the War of Secession, chiefly in blockade ships, then in the
Far East and Pacific. In 1887 he lectured in the Naval War College
on the subject which gave him his reputation, "The Influence of
Sea-Power in History." The idea arose from his study of Hannibal's
campaigns in Mommsen's "History of Rome" in the English Club at
Lima, while his ship lay at Callao. His book on it was published
in 1890, and in 1892 followed a sequel, dealing with the subject
