{Copyright by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 11.— As each day and
pach week of the war draws to a close
without a decisive action at Ladysmith
the probability that the Boers will risk
Jin assauit up<3n that garrison becomes,
It is said, more and more imminent. In
fact it is claimed that the campaign
peems to have reached a stage where it is
absolutely necessary for the Boers to de
liver a telling: stroke. Unless they de
ride to do this their only alternative is
to retire within their own lines and
strengthen themselves against the im
pending onslaught by superior numbers.
That the latter course will J3e followed
■without first making a determined at
tack to oust or capture Gen. White
seems out of all reason.
Gen. Buller's cablegrams indicate that
the campaign has been well planned and
the main objective mapped out. Even
If the Boers discover they are likely to
meet with determined resistance, it is
hardly likely that they will give up their
Impending prey without a determined
struggle. Already they may be tasting
the delights of victory and revelling in
anticipation of a still further conquest
over the main unit opposing them, which
alone would have great moral effect
In persuading them to risk much
against Ladysmith. but now it is too
late for them to change the main ob
jective.
Mobile as are the Boers they couM
scarcely transfer the body of their forces,
which are at present concentrated about
Ladysmith, to any other vulnerable Brit
ish.point, without running the risk of en
countering superior numbers, which are
already pouring northward. Moreover,
any weakening of the Boer force at Lady
smith would give Gen. White a splendid
opening, and even against overwhelming
odds he had shown no hesitation In ac
cepting every opening for assuming the
offensive.
BOERS' TIME SHORT.
I^xe Boers must know, just as well as
the British military authorities, that
twenty-three transports will arrive in
South Africa before Nov. I£. They must
also realize that their time is short, for
In the emergency it is believed Gen.
Buller will not wait to organize an army
corps, but will content himself with
rushing to the front every regiment he
can dispose of. Hence news telling of
Gen. Joubert's complete rout, or Gen.
White's capitulation, can be expected
daily.
It is believed the encounter at Lady
emit h will prove the most Important con
ftict of the campaign. If victory rests
with Gen. Joubert it will be a month
before Gen. Buller can dispute with him
the possession of Natal, for while it is
Btill feasible to send reinforcements to
Gen. White, it would be absolutely im
possible to assume the offensive if Gen.
White was no longer a military fart ir.
The destruction of the railway bridges
would seriously affect the onward march
even minor reinforcements, while it
would seriously affect the onward march
of any considerable British force.
However; there is no reason to believe
that Ladysmith is not in a position to
withstand the most determined Boer at
tack. Gen. White's ability to hold his
own up to now, and the successes attend
ing his sorties, have done much to re
store confidence in him. If G?n. Buller
has ordered transports to Dunbar and
will disembark them, Gen. White will
only have to wait a fortnight before he
receives reinforcements, or, at any rate,
before the reinforcements create a di
version with the Fioers. But if it is
found impossible to make rapid progress,
owing to the idiosyncrasies of the trans
ports, which have developed a remr-rkable
penchant for breaking down after leaving
port, or that their coal or other supplies
are worthless, the delay may be protract
ed. But Gen. White may not be content
to wait. On this score the naval and
military record says:
"It looks as though Gen. White will not
be content to await the arrival of rein
forcements, and the supremacy of Gon.
Puller. Bui the spiiited soldier who held
a high command over the whole Indian
army might be pardoned for being slight
ly influenced by personal ambitions."
CRITICISM OF GEN. WHITE.
Nearly all the authorities, while with
holding decisive criticism until further in
formation is obtainable, fail to see why
Gen. White did not retire back south of
the Tugela, thus drawing the Boers into
the arms of Gen. Buller. It is charitably
supposed that the government of Natal
exercises influence over Gen. White and
is to a degree responsible fcr his gallant,
yet, from a strategic point of view^ doubt
ful, efforts to hold the nek of Natal. Eut
It is held that no general has been ex
onerated in history merely because he
allowed his actions to be hampered by a
civil government to which he was not
dhectly responsible. Naturally, there
was a great division of opinion on this
point. One of the most humane con
tributions to the controversy comes from
Gen. Buller, who writes:
"I am loath to give an opinion on the
merits of the case, though my opinion
is th^t Gen. White has done a difficult
duty well. On one point there can be no
doubt— that Gen. Sir George Whito has
proved himself to be a gallant and chiv
alrous gentleman."
Gen. Buller expresses, better than any
expert criticism, the feeling of the nation.
The general opinion is that Ladysmith is
not in so great peril as last week, caused
by the natioA's renewed confidence in
Gen. White and the lack of bad news.
Thla applies equally to Mafeking, Kimber
ley and other points. The. popular and
expert impression now is that these places
and Ladysmith will not fall into the hands
61 the Boers, though some people add it
Is hard to see any grounds for making a
— - « ■ a
definite prognostication to that effect, for
to the impartial observer it seems a toss
up.
NOVEL WAR INSTRUMENT.
It is learned that one of the most re
markable innovations in warfare will
slu rtly be tested in South Africa. Lieut.
Foulkes, a young officer of the Royal
engineers, sailed for Cape Town Oct. 11
to put photographs to use, hitherto con
sidered impracticable, which, if success
ful, will revolutionize the methods of mil
itary reconnoissance. Briefly summed up,
Foulkes' proposition is to indicate the ex
act position and formation of the Boers
by means of telepole pictures. He takes
out an equipment of his own invention,
and is attached to Gen. Buller's force.
Heretofore reconnoitering parties have re
turned from hazardous duty only showing
a rough sketch map of the Boer line. It is
supposed these objects can be determined
more accurately by pictures taken on the
telepole lens. The main objection to this
plan is the delay caused by developing the
pictures, but this is said to be overcome
by Foulkes' invention, which produces a
picture seven minutes after taking. This
will prove of gieat value in determining
exact conditions, also in preventing col
umns losing their way, especially when on
unknown ground. Foulkes carries his en
tire equipment on his own and orderly's
bicycles, painted khaki. The camera Is
a simple looking affair fo* handwork, but
it is fitted with the most expensive scien
tific devices. The few military experts
who know the object of Foulkes' mission
are looking forward with keen interest to
the spectacle of battle plans being formed
on photographs taken, developed and
printed at the furthest outpost, prob
ably within easy range of the Boers.
Foulkes carried a Mauser, a revolver and
a carbine. He previously experimented
with this class of photography, while
serving in Sierra Leone, in the Hutti, se
curing- results upon which the war office
has now sent him to South Africa.
DODOES THE LAW.
Retired Army Officer Evade* Officials
in a Novel Manner.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.— Dr. R. W.
Shufeldt, a retired army officer, is again
in trouble. He may be court-martialed
as a result of the complaints which have
been made against his conduct. Some
months ago he was the subject of pro
ceedings for divorce, and the court, in
granting the application to his wife, ruled
that he should coniine himself to the
Jurisdiction of the Maryland tribunal.
He moved over the di&trict line into the
city of Washington, whereupon the Dis
trict of Columbia courts were besought
to take up, his case.
The dectoi recently secured a home di
rectly on the line between Maryland and
the District of Columbia, with the resuft
that he seeks refuge from the officers
of one court or the other by going into
different sections of his yard. The situa
tion has proved a perplexing one to the
attorneys of the former Mrs. Shufeldt,
and they have as a last resort appealed
to the v.ar department to take some ac
tion.
BRUNDIN BROS. SOLVENT.
Close of an Interesting Case in the
Federal Court.
MANKATO, Minn., Nov. 11.— (Special.)—
The United States court, which has been
in session here all the week on the Brun
din Bros.' bankruptcy case from Albert
Lea, adjourned late tonight. The case
v. ent to the jury at 5 o'clock, and a ver
dict wa3 rendered for Brundin Bros.,
proving their solvency. The case has
probably tested longer than any ever be
fore tried in the United States court at
Mankato. The Btundin Bros, have been
butchers and packers ut Albert Lea
since 1877, and, on May 1, were brought
into bankruptcy by. Senator Knatvold
and H. N. Brown, bankers at -^Albert
Lea. Their liabilities were $20,000, and
their assets $4^,000. The Brundlns claim
ed solvency, while the bank thought oth
erwise, which brought the suit. Judge
Lochren presided.
GRABBED THE DIAMONDS.
Desperate Deed of Fred Beal in Den
DES MOINES, 10., Nov. 11.— Fred Beal,
who says he is from California, walked
into Solomon Joseph's jewelry store, one
of the most prominent corners in the
city, this afternoon, and asked to be
shown a tray of diamonds. It was
handed to him, and instantly he picked it
up, tucked it under his arm and started
for the door. He got outside and was
running toward an alley when Mr. Jo
seph overtook him, and seized him. The
diamonds on the tray, about $2,000 worth,
were scattered over the sidewalk and
pavement. Beal was " locked up and
explained that he was penniless, had beat
his way from California, this far on hie
way to New York, and did it in despera
tion. All the stones were recovered.
MR. FULLER'S SCHEME.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.— Marvin A. Fuller,
who. it is alleged, has for com© time car
ried on a business under the name of the
Alaska Commercial Mining company, was
arrested by postoffice detectives today.
Fuller is charged with using the malls
for purposes of fraud. It is claimed he
watched the newspapers for death' lists,
and, upon learning- the name or the de
ceased, communicated with their heirs,
stating that mining shares belonging to
them had been turned over to him. He
claimed that ?'SO or more was lue on the
slock. In many cases, it Is alleged, the
heirs, thinking the shares of possible
value, paid the assessment, only to re
ceive mining stock of no value.

Blow of Election to Republicans.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 11.-W. J. Bryan
this evening gave to-the pi ess an extend
ed statement summing up th? results of
the elections in different sta.es.
In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania,
where the Democrats reaffirmed the Chi
cago platform, he finds that they hare
made gains, while in New York and New
Jersey the Republican vote shows a fall
ing off. Maryland, he declares, is now
safely Democratic. On the Kentucky
election he says:
"The result In Kentucky does not g-lv«
any encouragement to the Republicans.
The latest returns show that the contest
between Mr. Goebel and Mr. Taylor is
very close. The Democrats claim the
election of Goebel and the entire state
ticket by small pluralities. The legis
lature is safely Democratic in both
branches, and the election of Blackburn
to fcucceed Lindsay is assured. No one
vho has watch -ad the contest will doubt
that, with Democracy united on national
issues, Kentucky can be relied upon for
a majority of 20,000 or 30,000.
HOW HANNA FAILFD.
Ohio is summed up as follows:
"What consolation can Republicans draw
from the Ohio election? Mr. Hanna se
cured the nomination of his candidate for
governor upon a platform Indorsing the
Republican administration. And while
the returns indicate that Nash has a plu
rality of about 50,000 over McLean, Mc-
Lean and Jones together have a majority
of something like 50,000 over the Repub
lican candidate. MqLean ran upon a
platform emphatically indorsing the Chi
cago platform, and condemning the
trusts, militarism and imperialism, and
he made a gallant fig-ht against great
odds. Ohio is the home of the president.
It is the home of Mr. Hanna, chairman
of the Republican national committee.
Postmasters all over the United States
were urged to contribute money to save
Ohio. Mi\ Hanna took the stump him
self, and called upon Republicans to sup
port the ticket and indorse the policies of
the administration. And yet, in spite of
all that could be done, Mr. Manna's own
county was carried by Mr. Jones, and
the Republican party, which had a ma
jority of nearly 50,000 in 1890, is now over
whelmed by a majority approximating
50,0j0. The Jones vote is anti-Republican.
Mr. Jones himself has made an open fight
against Mr. Hanna and his methods; and .
the Republican party has turned its bat
teries agaist Mr. Jones and his followers.
NEBRASKA RESULTS.
lowa, South Dakota and Kansas results
are passed over in a brief paragraph as
not of leading importance. On Nebraska
he says:
"The Nebraska campaign was fought on
national issues, and the fusion candidate
for judge received about 14,000 this year,
as against 3,000 last year for the fusion
candidate for governor, and 3,000 for the
fusion electors in 1896 and the fusion can
didate for judge in 1897. Assistant Secre
tary of War Meiklejohn came from Wash
ington to plead with the voters to up
hold the president's policies. Senators
Thurston and Hayward were on the
stump, warning the people not to repu
diate the president. Senator Fairbanks
and other prominent Republicans from
outside the state lent their influence, but
notwithstanding the efforts put forth by
the Republicans the fusion forces gained
a signal victory. Their candidate, Judge
Holcomb, carried five of the congressional
districts out of the six, and lost the re
maining district (the First) by only 1,000.
The fusionists made a net gain of three
district judges and a large gain in coun
ty officers."
RESULT AS A WHOLE.
Mr. Bryan continues:
"Taken as a who-le, the election returns
from all the states give all encourage
ment to those who hope for the over
throw of the Republican party In 1900. It
Is evident that those who believed in the
Chicago platform in 1896 still believe in it.
It is also evident that the hostility to the
Chicago platform among those who op
posed it is not as pronounced as it was
in 1896. It is apparent also that there Is
a growing hostility to the monopolies
which have grown under a Republican
administration. It is safe to say that the
American people would, by a large ma
jority, pronounce against the attempt to
raise the standing army to 100,000, and it
is equally certain that upon a direct vote
upon the issue a large majority of the
people would pronounce against an, im
perialistic policy which would develop
here a colonial system after the pattern
of a European government.
"If the rebuke administered to the Re
publicans at the polls had been moro
severe the prospect of remedial legisla
tion at the hands of Republicans would
be brighter. While it was sufficient to In
dicate'that the people are not satisfied
with the Republican policies, it may not
have been sufficient to stay the course of
the Republican party towards plutocracy
and toward the European idea of a gov
ernment built upon force rather than
upon the consent of the governed— a gov
ernment relying for its safety upon a
large standing army, rather than upon
a citizen soldiery."
MONEY TO REAR.
Mr. Croker Talks of I.hkiiom of Pres-
idential Campaign.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.— Richard Croker
declares that, in his opinion, anti-imperi
alism will be the chief plank in the Dem.
ocratic platform of 1900, that a declara
tion against trusts will be Second In
choice, and that the money question will
be forced into the background. Ho made
these statements in reply to questions
submitted to him by the Herald. First
he was asttfed what effect he thought the
recent elections would have on Bryan's
chances for renomlnation next year.
"I do not care to answer that question
now," he replied, "it la too early to talk
of candidates. Mr.. Bryan, as- 1 have fre
quently said, is a 'splendid representative
of the plain people, aod stands for their
welfare, but as to him or anybody else
as candidate, it would be foolish to talk
so far ahead of the C nvention."

Admiral Dewey a> d Bride Made
Prisoners In New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1* —Admiral Dewey
says that he likes New York;' wants to
stay here a few days, and will be sorry
to leave, but he will oe obliged to cut
short his visit if he is accorded any more
such receptions as he and hi« bride re
ceived at Fifteenth street and Union
square. The crowd followed Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey as they walked down Fifth
avenue from . the hotel, gathered round
and kept them imprisoned. The crowd
sMuited and hurrahed, and some attempts
were made, to raise the admiral on the
shoulders of some of the more resolutes
of the enthusiasts,- but Admiral Dewey
begged and implored the people to allow
him to proceed. Finally he had to take
refuge in a- store, by which he escaped by
a door to a side street.
The admiral and Mrs. Dewey spent the
afternoon in their apartments. The rule
as to cards, which had been enforced up
to today, was relaxed, and a few friends
were received.
Admiral Dewey rema-lned all -the- evening
in his apartments.
His son dined with him, and together
they took a stroll through the corridors
of the hotel about 9 o'clock.
A surprise was given to the admiral by
the members of the band of the Olympia.
They serenaded him at the hotel, being
taker, quietly into the room adjoining the
admiral's suite, where they struck up a
tune. When the admiral learned what the
meaning of the music wag he went in and
greeted his old sailors. Then he went
back and escorted Mrs. Dewey in and pre
sented them to her.
This afternoon. Manager Boldt, of the
Waldorf-Astoria, made the following
Btatoroent:
"Admiral Dewey rt> quests me to say
that he would feel thankful if the news
papers would call Che attention of the
public to the annoyances he and his wife
have be?n subjected to and request the
people to cease their demonstrations. The
admiral says that he appreciates the fact
-\ - _ .

that the demonstrations are caused by
good will, and would not mind it so much
himself, but' it makes his wife rervous
and greatly upsets frer. He says that hs
and Mrs. Dewey were practically made
prisoners today by the crowds."
Mr. Boldt added thar while the admiral
was temporarily annoyed by his experi
ence today, he ftad bow got over ft. He
did not want to leave New York en this
account, as he likeG the city very much,
and enjoyed nothing better than a walk

LABOR WAR DECLARED.
Chicago Employers Threaten to
Break lp Trades Vnions.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.— To break up the
present trades unions, to stamp out com
pletely the arbitrary, power of walking
delegates, arbitrators and professional
organizers, axid after this has been ac
complished "to compel' workingmen to
form new unions that will co-operate with
employers, Is the , plan iof campaign of
Chicago contractors and architects. Not
until the unions are broken up and a new
co-operative association of employers and
workingmen has been formed will the
contest cease, < lt" Is asserted.
The first active step tn the campaign
to destroy the existing unions was taken
today, when fourteen manufacturers of
sheet metal locked put from their fac
tories over 400 employes. This action, it
Is predicted, will .be followed by other
manufacturers of the same commodity,
it being avowed openly that the manufac
turers wish to break up the " unions.
Each of the manufacturers Issued a letter
to their men, setting forth the reasons
for the lockout. In the letter it was set
forth that the company had become sick
of the unju&t demands of the unions made
to the Syltes Roofing company. The
trouble of the Bykes Roofing company
originated last spring, when six men were
taken to Moline to work in that city. The
company paid the men's fare 'to Moline.
When the men had been working ten
weeks in Moline the new wage scale went
into effect, and. as the company refused
to raise their wages the men at Moline
went on a strike and the union was
obliged to pay thefr fare back." The Chi
cago union demanded that the Sykes
company Jiay tl»e men their return fare
and threatened a: strike. The company
refused to pay, aIW a strike was ordered.
Since then the company has made over
tures to the union lor a settlement, but
the men have refused to consider any
proposition unt,il the company agreed to
pay the ex-employes full wages for the
time they had- been on a strike and pay
t,he expenses that the union had incurred
during ; the ; strike.

the Final Whistle — Minnesota on
the Defensive In the Opening
Half — Great Improvement Shown
In the Play of the Gopher Eleven.
Northrop field, at the State university,
has yet to see a victory on the gridiron.
The Minnesota boys expected a winning
yesterday against Beloit. They had to be
satisfied with an even-up affair. They
wero lucky that it was not worse than
a tie. The score was 5 to 5.
Minnesota played' a good hard game of
foctball from Btart to finish. So did the
strong men from Wisconsin soil. The
teams were evenly matched, with the odds
in favor of Minnesota. It was a pretty
contest from the first kick-off till the end
of the second half.
Beloit had no permit to score when she
did. Minnesota had little license to top
It off when she did. So honors were even.
Beloit was stronger on the scales, yet
Minnesota never grave up. Not when her
colors were apparently In the dust. She
had a fullback, his name" Is Glover. In
the eyes of maroon and gold collegians
he Is In the same row with Maj. Bean,
Funston, Dewey and those boys. Glover
beorme a hero at about 5:08, while dark
ness and defeat were threatening.
It was a case of another brilliant finish.
With a score of 6 to 0 staring -those beaten
and bruised Minnesotans In the face, Full
back Glover dove out of a scrimmage with
the pigskin under his arm. The Beloit
goal was seventy yards away. It looked
a mile and a half to the silent dishearten
ed grandstand. Nobody thought he would
make It, but he did, and he made it in a
sprint that took all blue ribbons, as far
as sensational plays are concerned, in the
history of Minnesota athletics. It was
the play that saved the day, and it hap
pened just two minutes before the ref
eree's whistle blew "time up."
Glover was given the ball on a trick
signal. The players massed with a rush
on the right of the line. It was apparent
ly a straig-ht line buck. But out of the
heap flew the fullback hero. He swung
around to the left with all brakes off, and
Cole, quarter back, blocking. But one
Beloit player got a hand on Glover. It
was a narrow escape. Painfully so. But
the big curly-haired kicker untangled
himself and plunged on with eleven Be
lolters after him like wolves on a sheep.
The touch-down was made near the side
line and away from the posts. It was too
difficult a goal even for Glover to master,
and so the score was a tie.
ALL THE BEST OF IT.
Beloit had all the best of the game In
the first half. The visitors played fierce,
snappy ball, and bumped the Minnesota
lin-3 hard and strong for many yards of
gain. Three times they had the egg-shap
ed leather-, all but over the line in that
first half, but Minnesota was adamantine
nt critical moments, and when the half
was over neither side had scored, but the
ball had been in Minnesota territory from
the start. - The Gopher footballists had
been continually on the defense, but their
trenches could not be taken.
In the second half the tables W3re turn
ed. Minnesota never played more des
perately. They, had ttrengthenod tnom
eolves in some mysterious manner during
that short ten-minute intermission. They
began to find choice holes in the Beloit
line. They hammered it haid'and skirted
the ends till it looked like Minnesota's
game. Th*n the ball would be fumbled
ond thore would be a see-saw. Glover
punted beautifully throughout the
and his long kicks did much to takd the
heart out of the visitors.
It wae eight minutes before time wan
called when Beloit made the touchdown
that seemed to cinch the fight. The ball
belonged to Minnesota on her forty-yard
line. There was a fi'.mble and the ball
bobbed out of the mass of writhing play
ers. A fleet-footed Badger named Rose
picked it up and in an instant was plung
ing towards Minnesota's goal— a clear

CAPE TOWN, Wednesday, Nov. B.—
Dispatches from Klmbtrley show that
the town was vigorously attacked today
at two different points. It Is reported
that one of the British force and six
Boers were killed. It Is believed hers
that the Boers surround the town in
force.
BARKELEY WEST, Nov. fl.-A di«
pe.tch received fiom Kimberley says:
'Gen. Cronje sent a message to Col.
Kekewicb, calling on him to surrender
"before 6 in the morning-, today, otherwise
the town would be shelled, the women
and children remaining ar Kekewich's
riFk. The Boers, It was added, surround
ed Kimberley in great force, with heavy
artillery."
MEAGER INFORMATION.
LONDON, Nov. 11.— The day hag
brought forth no great news, and little
change has taken place, either in Natal
or on the north or northeastern frontiers
of Cape Colony. The chief fact is the
opening of the bombardment of Kimber
ley, on Tuesday, by Free State artillery,
which proved, acocrdln* to an official
statement, utterly ineffective. The Boer
investment of tlie town, however, 1? said
to be tightening.
Skirmishing between thn Kiniberley
mounted troops and the Boers, early In
the week, resulted in severe Boer losses,
the British fores loring one killed and one
wounded.
Advices from Orange river confirm th«
report of the Free State troops' advance
vpon the r^orth of Cape Colony, but owing
to the retirement of the British forces
from the borderland, no serious collision
has yet occurred.
The coming: week, however, is certain
to see important developments In this
district. An official dispatch recording a
skirmish near Bt>lmont, in which Col.
Falconer was killed. th"cc other officers
were wounded — one dangerously— and two
privates slightly wounded, is far from
clear. It is not known whether Col. Fal
coner wa3 preparing for a British ad
vance, or was merely endeavoring to as
certain the numbers, of the Boers. H is
considered somewhat remarkable that
fewer casualties should have happened
to officer?, and this is thought to need
some explanation. The British lo.st a
good man in Col. Falconer, and lie was a
cousin of the Earl of Kllsrore. He did
good service in the Bolivian with leli.
Kitchener.
Dispatches from Mafekln? show that
Col. Baden-Powell's little force is still
not only holding its own. but is daily in
flicting more or less severe puni^nment
upon the Boers, whose artillery has ap
parently proved valueless.
Nothing hss filtered through today
from Ladysmlth, which everybody ex
peot-s to be the theater of thrilling events
during the coming week. Transports car
rying 3,000 British troop? are already en
route to Durban, having passed Cape
Town, and the Boers must strike a decis
ive blow at Lat]\>mtth now or never.
OFF FOR THE FRONT.
Capt. Stephen l'Honmedieu Slocum. of
the Eighth United States cavalry, and
military attache at the United States
embassy at Vienna, who has b-.?en desig
nated lt> watch the operations of the
British troops in South Africa on behalf
of hit- government, sailed today on board
the. British ""transport Columbian. The
other foreign attaches sailed on the Ba
varian.
LATEST FROM BULLER.
The war office has received the follow
ing dispatch from Gen. Buller, under date
of Cape Town, Nov. 11, afternoon:
"With reference to my telegram of the
10th, Col. Gough, with two squadrons of
the Tenth hussars, a battery of field ar
tiillery and one and one-half companies
of mounted infantry, found about 700 of
the enemy, with one* gun In position,
about nine miles west of Belmont. Ho
engaged the enemy with his artillery and
sent the mounted infantry to the enemy's
left flank to discover their laager. The
losses reported yesterday occurred during 1
this operation. Col. Gough engaged the
enemy for three hours and then returned
to camn.
"The death of Lieut. Wood has Just
been reported."
TROOPS AT CAFE TOWN.
It is officially announced that the troop*
ship Hawarden Cactle has arrived at
Cape Town with 1,010 troops.
CONDITIONS AT COLENSO.
ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. 7. — An ar
mored train, manned by an engineering
staff and a company of the Dublin fusi
lc-ers, under Capt. Hensley. returned here
tc night. It reports that it found the
stores at Frerie looted, apparently by
Kaffirs, and met cyclist patrol*, who re
ported that the Boers were on the Spring
field road, four miles away. The train
proceeded cautiously and found the Blue
spruit bridge intact. The train frequently
stopped and Capt. Hensley examined the
read ahead before proceeding. Nearingj,
Colenso Capt. Hensley inspected Fort
Nicholson, and proceeding found the line
cut a mile south of Colenso. Two lengths
of the rail on each line had been lifted
and placed out of gauge.
From Kaffirs it appears that the Boers
left the vicinity of Colenso eariy thls
miming, proceeding in, the direction of
Buluwan mountain, and that Capt. Hens
ley found Colenso absolutely deserted.
A balloon was observed for several
minutes hovering over the Boer positions
in the mountains. It was presumably a
British balloon from Ladysmlth.
The natives hero are undertaking th«
safe delivery of dispatches inside Lady*
smith.
