Msrcue issued-General
SituatioE Reviewed.

London. Nov. 5.-There is not q
line of late news from Ladysmith,
and all London is surmising as to
the fate of Gen. Whites command.
Rumors of defeat came in last
night through private sources from
Brussels, saying that both Mafe-
king and Ladysmith had fallen,
but the English people do not ereds
it it, the report having no confir-
nation. =
The wires are still cut, making
communication with Gen. White at
Ladysmith impossible.
The orders calling out the mill
tia gives a fresh impetus to the ex-
citement already running at fever
heat. The streets are full Of SOL
diers and a warlike feeling per-
vades all theatres. On every side
are heard inquiries as to the relief
of Ladysmith. IN the present sit
uation the hilarity of the reported
British victories that first came in,
is being recalled.
London has now dropped to a
veritable gloom as day after day
passes and no news comes from
Ladysmith. Although it is known
that great artillery engagement
commenced several days ago, the
daily rumors of Boer victories from
the continent although generally
discredited, can not but depress the
spirits which were so high last
week. Everyone knows and feels
that month of success or reverses
hang on whether Gen. White holds
out until relief arrives. for should
he fall the great store of supplies
at Ladysmith would greatly assist
the Beers in prosecuting an ag-
gressive campaign. Until the main
force of the British arrive the Beers
would have at least two weeks with
practically free hand in which to
raid British territory. Thus they
could be assured of taking Mafe-
king and Kimberley. 1t is this
phase of the case that is worrying
the entire British people, while the
Boer sympathizers feel confident OF
renewed successes on the part oi
the Transvaal armies.

BRISISH EvACUATE COLENSO.
London, Nov. Sit is officially
announced that the British have
evacuated Colenso, south of Lady
smith.
The war Office has issued The fol-
lowing:
The colonial Office has received
the information to the effect that
the British troops have withdrawn
from Colenso and have concen-
trAted further south, but we have
no news of any engagements in that
neighborhood.
News that Colenso has been
evacuated was another pill for the
British public and it aroused fears
that the continental statements of
a second serious defeat of General
White may prove true. A signifi-
cant fact is that the war Office does
not say when Colenso was evacu-
ated, so the statement which ema-
mated Thursday from DIR. Leyds,
the diplomatic representative of the
Transvaal. who is located at Brus-
sells, that the Beers had occupied
Colenso was possibly true. There
is much apprehension that the war
Office is suppressing bad news.

ton Of her characteristic mood is
letter written to Mr.. w. D. Gallagher.
which Mr.. w. H. Venable published in
his Beginnings of Literary Culture in
the Ohio Valley" This spirit was
with her to the end, and. when, in 1870,
cancer, paralysis-terrible ministers
of death, dragged the brave woman out
of the world, she felt, if one may judge
from the evidence, that her half CEN
tury's sojourn here had been quite long
enough. In little less than a year
and half Phoebe followed her, and so
passed away these two sisters whose
kinsbip of spirit, as Mr.. Venable, their
best biographer, has said, "is memora-
BILE in the annals of human tenderness
and fidelity" In beautiful Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, not far from the
Fifth avenue entrance, the two and a
younger sister, Elmina, lie in one in
closure, their resting place marked by a
massive granite monument some six
feet high, on the base of which is the
name Cary, and on three faces the three
given names with dates of birth and

worlds Largest Grapevine.

La Para Grande, the biggest grape
vine in the world, has reached the end
of it's long outdoor life, and will soon
be cut down. Seventy-five years II
has been growing on ranch in the
Montecito valley, near Santa Barbara,
CAL, but it has shown signs of dying,
and so the owner, Albert Magee, the
Pittsburg stove manufacturer, has Or
dered it removed. From the pride Of
the California vineyards the vine will
be turned into a museum curiosity.
The Santa Barbara chamber OF COM
merce will preserve it as specimen
of what the soil of Santa Barbara coup-
ty is able to produce. La Para Grande
has a trunk or main stem three feet
and a half in circumference, and the
trellis. higher than mans head, on
which the spreading branches Of the
vine are supported, measures nearly
six feet in each direction. In its prime
this single vine produced full four tons
of grapes in a single year. Those
days of it's glory are, however, long
passed.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
