London, October l6.-So far as actual
news is concerned there is very little
change In ths situation to be noticed.
The state of affairs at Mafeklng can only
be conjectured. The occupation of New
castle by the Beers was prepared for and
expected, the place having been aban-
doncd by the British.
Very heavy rains and SHOWS are re-
ported which hamper the Beers move

initial success counted upon. They evil

difficult, either from the north or the

reconnaissance seems to have suffioed to

occurred must have caused the Beers
great discomfort, which probably ex-

Adventurous Journey of Hospital
Train.

Vryburg, Cape Colony, Octobsr ia
hospital train that started from Maribopo
has just returned after an adventurous
journey. 1t had reached a curve on
culvert seven hundred yards south of
Maribogo, and had just slackened speed
when 1t was Observed that the rails ahead
had been upturned. The brakes vera
applied, but the engine passed onto one
rail partly raj ied and was derailed. The

gine. At the same tlme it was observed
that party Of Beers were galloping into

ly hostile. The train ran back to Vry-
burg at fun sped, the engins flying q
white flag with red cross Picks and

Uhas the train be sent up as all was quite
safe. The operator at vryburg reoog-
nized the voice as that of European
store clerk. In view of the subsequent
report that the Beers were removing
the rails 1t Is believed that the Beers
compelled the clerk to speak through
the telephone. The nearest Boer com.
mando to Vryburg Ia laagsred north OF
Schwelzerrenek, twenty miles distant
and two miles inside the TransvaAl. The
commando sent message to the Vryburg
railway station that IL the delivery of
