Keiorts are of a meager and contradictory character. but it seems tliat the Boers have no: fared well in thir conflicts with the British troops, ami strangely enough the marksmanship of uie burghers has been poor, if reports are to be believed. Larly dispatches from Cape Town yesieruay iiuesuayi sani trial tne Boers had attacked Mafeking and been repulsed with a loss of Cm killed, but later news reduces the alleged heavv lighting at Mafeking to mall propor tions. The earlier sensational story originated in tho skirmishes !n:w,cn the armored train and Mnall detach ments of Boers. Although since thn much may have happened to the little garrison, it is difficult to understand how refugees arriving at Lnrenzo Mar ques should have come into possession of news of serious Boer losses at Mafe king.

L At latest advices the gallant little force of Baden-Powell at Mafeking was still holding out. but unless relief Is sent soon the Boers are almost certain to take the place, as they have strong forces both north and south of the town, and last night's dispatches said they were bringing up their artillery preparatory to a general altark. On the Natal side little has been done. Tin Boers are slowly advancing their forces with a view to cutting oft the garrisons at Cllencoe and Dundee.! Dr. Leyds. the Plenipotentiary of t.ie South African Republic to European Governments, is said to be going to Berlin shortly to confer with political personages. Advices from Durban announce that the Consul of the Netncrlands there has Issued a warning to all subjects. The Netherlands Is to remain neutral.

A sp-cial Is- patch from Pretoria states that a white Hag has been hoisted at Marking. The ctrivspomlent does not know wnvtaer or not the town intends to sum :idr. I Following is the special iHsnatch from Pretoria in full, dated :.t xio.in yesterday: "After a few snots were fir.'d at Mafeking the white Hag was hoisted. A Boer party bearing a l!ag of truc. was sent to Inquire whether the town surrendered. No definite reply was re ceived. The Boer mesenger was de tained for six hours and then released. PRETORIA. Oct. IS (leneral CronJ?. after warning the women and children to leave Mafeking. opened fire upon the town with cannon Monday afer- noan. No response was made. The report current at Dc'.agoa bay that WOO Boers have been repulsed at Newcastle is false. The Boers continue to close In upon Mafeklnc and to destroy the r.V.road north and south of the town.

Cap tain Frank White, left Seattle Septem ber 12 for Cape Nome with a crew of fortv-eicht otllcers and men and twen ty ia.-sencers. She carried a full car- co of ceneral merchandise, hay. lum- hber. thirty-six head of cattle and ISO sheen. She encountered rough weatner from the start, and just before I o clock on the morning of September 13. was driven by wind and current into shoal water in Active pass, but after brief detention she resumed her voyage. Be ing loaded deep, the heavy &cas broke over her bow again and again, and by the time the open sea was reached it had. become so serious that she was forced to turn back and take tne Insld passage to New Metlatkatlah. where thirty tons of lumber and fifty tons of coal were nut ashore. Thus lightened. she proceeded to Dutch Harbor, which w:is rnnched Sentembcr 2.V At Dutch Harbor thirty sheep were landed. Thr T.nurada left Dutch Harbor Sep tember 2rt. encountering continued stormv weather. On September 27 It was discovered that a leak had been started forward. This increased rapid ly, and soon it became evident the pumps would not much longer keep the vessel afloat. She beean to gradually settle by the head. The only hop of safety now lay In reaching the Prlby- loff or Seal Islands, the southernmost of which. St. George, is Uirely 223 miles from Dutch Harbor. At 2:3 p. m.
