BRITISH TUBLIC IX THE D1BK. Doe to War Office "Cooklne Dlipatche. Certain Junction of Forces Has Oc curred Joubert Likely to Attack Lad.T mith Before Bailer Arrlri. "London. Oct. 20. An ominous Teil "was drawn over the movements of General Sir 'George Stewart White and General Yule iu Natal. Beyond be lated Ladysmith dispatches concerning the Elaudslaagte fight, which are still filtering in, the British public is left in in complete darkness and to conjecture over 'cooked" war office dispatches. Since it is practically certain that General Yule bus effected a jnnction with General White, and as botti are now in a position of safety, conjecture concerns itself chiefly with the manner ,'- OEXXRJLL STMOKS. of General Yule's retreat. That it was hasty- is evident. Was it disorderly: Was any considerable camp equipment abandoned? Was there any fighting on the way? Such questions and others liko them the public is anxiously ask ing. Siuco the receipt of General White's curious first description of the Ladysmith fight, in which the lintisn lost 100 men, little reliance can be placed on the official dispatches. While the concealment of the facts regarding General Yule's retreat can be amply justified on the ground of keeping the intelligence from the Boers the hiding of the news respecting the Hussars and Fusiliers, who were apparently cap turea in "the battle at Gleucoe, ib se verely criticesod, no intimation even having been given that the oflic-s were missing. The war office made public the fol lowing dispatch, m part, &ent by Gen eral White from Ladysmith: The advance guard of the forces sent out-by me to get m touch with and help General Yule's column was within three miles of that column, which had temporarily halted at Sunday river. "I have occupied all the strong posi tions on the road and have no further anxiety about tnem. 1 have received from Keurick, signalling officer of the queen's own regiment, who has ridden iu, and also from Colonel Dartmell of the national police, who accompanied the column, the best account of the spir its and efficiency of the troops, who are very anxious to meet the enemy again." The war office issued the following in part: "There is nothing to add to Geueral White's de.criptiou of that en gagement, as given in his dispatch, ex cept that we now learn the following casualties: "Inrst Glouce&ter: "Colonel Will'ord, killed. "Wounded: "Lieutenant Hiokie. "Second battery, field artillery: "Lieutenant Douglas. ".Fifty-third battery, field artillery: "Major Abdy. "lieutenant Porreau. "Lieutenant Hobart.

"Wo learn from unofficial sources that the following officers, whose ab sence had not previously been notified to us, are prisoners in the enemy's hand: "Eighteenth Hussars Lieutenant Colonel Moller, Major Greville and Captain Pollock. Dublin Fusiliers Captain Lonsdale, Lieutenant Le Ateseu rier, Lieutenant Garvice, Lieutenant Grimshaw, Lieateuaut Maiondie and Lieutenant Shore. "It is presumed that the whole squad ron of the Eighteenth Hussars, under the coniuianti ot tne omcers named, were taken vri.-oners." The heavy losses or the British troops in lacing only some 8,000 Boors was commented upon as what rifle lire means in the bands of even undisci plined men who can shoot fairly straight uud stand their ground. Coin-puns-bus are made with the firet employ ment of the magazine rifle in the Hia-pano-American war, and it is considered that tiie American losses at El Cauev and Sau Juan would have been much heavier if ,the Spaniards had doggedly tood their ground like the Boers. General Sir fledvers Buller is ex pected to arrive at the Cape early next week, and th indications art that some tropa have alreauy arrived at the front anil been in the fighting whoso arrival has not yet 'nt-ii announced There is every probability, therefore, that reinforcements are moving up. This is calculated to hasten Command ant General JoubeU's attack on Lady sinith, and news of a big battle is daily xpectod. Aboat half a complete army corps is now afloat, and a lull occurred iu dis patching the remainder of General Bul ler's forces owing to some difficulty in obtaining transports. The mobilization and embarkation .of 21,000 men, how ever, have proceeded with the utmost smoothness and completeness, oxtortiug admiration from the severest critics of war office organization. Although news has arrived that Gen eral Sir William Peun Syiuous is doing well, there is no indications as to his whereabouts. It was presumed that he is at Dundee in the hands of the Boers. Loxuon, Oct. 20. A dispatch to The Daily Ton-graph trom Ladysmith. tinted Monday, said: "Thirty of the Eighteenth Hussars, wno were sent trom (jlencoe to inter cept the retreat of the Boers from Elaudslaagte, were cut off by the enemy. Under Sergeant Baldrey they btilliantly fought their way across the Biggars berg, the -uemy pursuing and firing at them at a range of 300 yards along the passes. They arrived here about 10 o'clock this morning. Three of the troop are missing owing to the break down of their horses. The Boers used a Maxim.

There are many reasons why you should take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids in preference to any other kidnev prep aration. First, Kid-ne-oids are a scientific preparation. Second, They are tablets, which is the scientific form of preparing medicine. Third, There are never any bad after effects from their use. Fourth, They act directly upon the kidneys ; they are strictly a kidney cure and nerve tonic. Fifth, You do not have to quit work while U3ing Kid-ne-oids. A B0- cent box containes enough for about two weeks' treatment. Peo ple use Kid-ne-oids, because they cure kidney ailments. Mrs. J. It. Thomas, 214 South Spencer st, Akron, Ohio, says: "I have been very much distressed with pain across the small of my back for a number or years. Sometimes the pain would extend down into my hip joints which I supposed to be lum bago. I also had other symptoms of disordered kfdneys; I heard about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids mid decided to try them. I was surprised to find myself greatly relieved of my troub les and their continued use has com pletely cured me."

Michael Davitt, Irish "Nationalist member for South Mayo, announced in the house of com' mons tuat ne -would resign todav as a protesfagainst the Boer war. Regarding Mr. Davitt, Mr. Chamber lain, in the house ot commons, said he recognized that he had hitherto dis cussed the matter moderately and sin cerely, "and." he added, "I would pay the greatest attention to his arguments if I did not know ho would use precisely the same tircuments in reeard to anv British -war, which are based on hiseu inity to England." Mr. Chamberlain then said: "What would have been the Irish ar gument iu the Spanish-American war, iu which Spain showed herself infinitely less capable of defending herself than the Transvaal " Here William Redmond. Parnellite member for East Clare, shouted: "The Transvaal did not blow up your warships." Mr. Cnainberfcun continued: "ilio great, ahnost determining contest be tween the United States and Spain was fought without the loss of a single American. We have never denied that the Transvaal was a focman worthy of our steel. .Not only was the disparity between the forces iu the Spanish American war as great as those now engaged, but the contention of the United States and their right of inter ference arose from the fact that at some distance from their territories there was oppression, not of American citi zens, but of another race ot people, and that justified the intervention of the United States iu the mind of the civil ized world, or, at any rate, in the eyes of Englishmen and Irishmen. But we are interfering in behalf of our own people. It is perfectly certain that Mr. Davitt but for nis hatred of England would sympathize with us as he did with America." BRITISH CASUALTIES. Bkki.ix, Oct. 25. There is talk in diplomatic circles of the joint coufer snee which was held between the eru ueror. Admiral Tierpitz, the secretary of the admiralty, and Count Von Bue low, the minister of loreigu affairs. The admiral, the next day, went to Baden-Badi'ii for the purpose of report ing to the imperial chancellor. Prince Hoheulohe. The Freisiimige Zeitung asserted that both the conference and the trip of Tir pitc wguity that orders will soon be given, for the s-endinif of German war vessels to the Mediterranean. It is not doubted in Berlin that fur ther a-jgresnion on the part of England iu Africa will precipitate an interna tional war. Lo.sdox, Oct. 20. Dispatches from the continent to The Daily News says that the French .fleet has received in structions to watcli the movements of the British Mediterranean squadron, and that the Italian fleet is under orders to concentrate iu the Bay of Spezia London, Oct 2ti. British naval prep arations caused a strong reiteration of serious foreign complications. It was said that Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford will command the Mediter ranean squadron, and details of the activity at the dockyards and naval stations came in hot and fast. It was learned, however,.tht whether or no Great Britain Eeriously fears Russian or French aggression, the naval prepara tions have bteu under consideration for several months and it was the admir ty's intention to put them in force as toon as war with the Transvaal was de clared, deeming it necessary to increase the active strength of the navy in order to insure the large fleet of transports against every possible contingency. The naval reserves have been ordered to be in readiness to rejoin their ships at 24 hours' notice, while all the cruis ers of the reserve class have been noti fied to be ready to sail in the same time limit; In addition to these preparations work on tho uncompleted vessels is being hurried day and night.- The special at tentiou being paid to the cruisers is taken by many naval authorities to in dicate that Great Britain intends to form a menacing flying squadron, ueiuz the term "menacing" because the naval force at .sea now is ample to convey the transports and is thoroughly capable of preventing any interference in South African waters. While the British officials did not con ceal their knowledge of German.Treneh and Russian antagonism and their irri tation thereat, they do not give the slightest hint that European hostility will crystalize into any probable oven act. The belief that Great Britain is on the verge of a crisis or even a conflict far greater than that in the Transvaal has many supporters, though the lack ql all official confirmation favors the coi..servatiYe views that the remarkable military and naval activity is due to a desire to take thorough precautions, Which, tiiough ominous, have at present no special bearing upon Great Britain's European relations. Advices from the continent strengthen this view. For iiistance, The Fremden blatt of Vienna said: "Nothing points to the eventuality of the intervention of Europe in favor of the Boers." The paper added that Germany es pecially has resolved "not to depart from her attitude of neutrality.!' On the other hand the Xeues TTeiner Tagblatt published a telegram from the Transvaal legation at Brussels announc ing that Dr. Leyds had received formal assurances that France and Russia will not permit Great Britain to annex the Transvaal or the Orange Free' State. This is disci-edited, however, as it is pointed out that even if this .were the intention of the powers mentioned they would not allow their hands to be shown prematurely through the mo diuni of Dr. Leyds. The Russian newspapers may bo somewhat responsible tor the impres sion in regaru to Jiuropeau interven tion, the St. Petersburg Russkija advo cating that Great Britain be brought to her senses by a naval demonstration in South Africa in which France would take the lead. c5p-s?3?i K-jwJ' IMP sjIRu ISBbiI illiiifll HE very word operation " strives f error to a woman's souL Nearly always these operations become necessary through neglect.

It will cost you nothing for advice if you write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for it, and if you let-the trouble run along it will surely cost you a great deal of pain and may mean an operation. Miss Sarah J. Graham, Sheridanville, Pa., writes: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:! had suffered forsev- ieral years with female troubles and doctored until I was discouraged. I felt wretched and tired of living.
