ALL SAFE ON THE WEST SIDE
| Cape Town, Nov 1.-(Delayed in trans
mission)-The Cape Times says it has re-
| liable information that there have been
! no casualties among the British at Ma
| feking since October 81 Since the heavy
| bombardment General Cronje asked the
town to surrender. Colonel Baden-Powell
was asleep when the messenger arrived,
but on being awakened received him hos
pitably and politely replied: I will let
you know when we have had enough. y
London, Nov. 4.-The1 special correspond
ent If the Daily Mail at Mafeking under
date of October %, says: General Cronje's
bombardment of Mafeking was rzMpto-
nous. TIaS Beers fired sixty-two shells but
did no harm, the whole town, even the
ladies, laughing at the affair. He threat
ems to bring a 40-pounder from Pretoria.
Cronje says he is sorry, for the women's
sake that he sheIled the town, but that
it was not playing the game to send dy
Mantle trucks among his men. Fifteen
hundred of his command have since de-
parted to the southwark. Small parties
of our garrison issue forth nightly and
harass the Boer outposts. l hear that the
Daily Nails correspondent at Lobatsi is
a prisoner in the hands Of the Boers.'

NO NEUTRALITY IN THIS WAR
Washington, Nov. S.-Permission has
been given to the British government to
compress, in New York and Boston,
large shipment of Canadian hay destin-
ed for the use of the British army in
South Africa It was represented to the
treasury department that at present there
are no suitable presses in the Dominion
which are available and as it is import
ant that the shipments should leave these
ports not later than the 18th of the pres
ent month. the government was appealed
to to make the concession. This was
done as an act of courtesy to the British
government and is not to be regarded as
a precedent. The British agents repre-
scented that while the hay shipments from
Canada would probably ne very large
they expected to have modern compress
ers ready for use within short time in
the sections where the hay is raised.

forwarded to the United States consul at |
Cape Town. Mr. Stowe, and by him turn
ed over to the British authorities there /
for transmission to London.
