Lateat From the Front.
London, Ootober 14.--Tho Ex
change Telegraph Company has
received a dispatoh from Cape
Town, dated this morniog saying
that tbo Boors have blown up
another armored train carrying
telegraph operators from Msfe
king. The Boera, it is reported, des
troyed the railway station north
of Fourteen Stream, between Vry
burg and Eimborly. Fighting is
still continuing in the neighbor,
hood.
According' to dispatches from
tho front the Boars have made
several attacks on Mafeking, all
of wbioh have been repulsed. In
connection with tho rumored at
tack upon Mafekin, a disquieting
report comes from Pretoria to the
effect that tho Bustonburg and
Marico commandera have aroused
the border and entered the Rooi
grend territory between Liohten
burc and Mafekinc, blowing up
the bridge over the Maloppo river,
and destroying a train load of
dyaamito and track. As Mafeking
depends upon Rooigrend for its
water supply, trie aigninoance or.
this move is evident.
A dispatch from Pretoria, dated
Ootober 14, says:
, "General Eooh wires from tho
Natal border that his command
has occupied Botohas Pass and
also captured tho railway station."
The latest reports from Vry
burg say that the armored train
was destroyed at Kraipin contain
ed in ndditionto NeBbit's force, a
number of workmen and six resi
dents of Maricogo south of Mafe
kind who on hoaring of the Boor
advance took refuge in tbo train.
Tho following dispatoh from
Ladysmith has been received at

New York, Oot. lO.r-Hard luok
continues to, pursue tho big single
etibkerB. On the throe days of last
week when tho yachts mado at
tempts to sail, tbo light wind left
them stranded o'n tho course when
tho timo limit expired.
To-day the fog bank prevented
them from leaving their moorings
inside the slip of land which forms
Sandy Hook, at tho ontranco of
tho lower bay. This was by far
tbo most diacooraging of all.
Sir Thomas Lipton and Mr.
Iselin bad agreed at nine o'clock
not to Bail unless thn fog lifted.
There was considerable wind, but
the big sailing boats lay idlo all
day at their moorings.
The next attempt will bo made
on Thurdiy, and daily thereafter
until tho aeries in completed.
C)n board the Erin tho English
men, were in the dumps. A fluke
or tjwo they oould stand, but such
botstly luok crushed them com
pletely. Somo of them hiva on
gaged passage on tbe Ocounio,
which will sail tomorrow. They
are going home without seeing a
raco. Sir Thomas, disappointed
aB h was, maintainad an outward,
show-of good humor'.- -
Now York, Oot. 12. A blanket
of fog over tbo course nnd an uttdr
absonco of wind caused tbe fifth
successive failure when another
attempt wbb made to Bail tbo first
race of tho Shamrock Columbia

trophy. Tho yaohta will try again
tomorrow.

lengthened the unpreccdent record
of'ilukes in tho cup contest to six.
As on Tuesday, the yachts did not
leave their anchorage inside Han
dy Hook. It was usoIosb to mako
another attempt in such weather.
New York, Oct.14. At the sun
rise the sky was overcast, a light
haze rested over the upper bay
and a light broeze was blowing
from the eastward with a tend
ency to work southward. On tho
whole tho prospects for a race be
tweon tho Columbia and tbo
Shamrock for tho America's cup
were brightor than at aoy timo
during tho week, but it will re
quire a decisive raco under favor
