Newspaper Account of Fight With Ar

Capetown, October ia copy Of the
Standard and Digger News has been OBJ
tained here giving the Boer account of the
armored train fighting in the vicinity of
Mafeking with Boer coloring. 1t fully con-
firms the account given by the engine

the deserted trucks were riddled with
bullets
They contained dynamite and terrible
explosion occurred, the trucks being blown
to atoms. There were no casualties among
the burghers according to this story. With
regard to the second armored train fight
the paper says the Beers had two killed
and four wounded and that when the train
was seen approaching with Colonel Baden
Powelrs men on board the Beers formed
in battle array and poured whitening fire
upon the train at a thousand yards, but
the armored train plates rendered the fire
ineffective. The British repeatedly raked
their lines.
The Standard and Digger News admits
that total of about forty burghers were

BRYAN IN HOTBED
OF REPUBLICANISM
"When Gou Gets Ready to Speak to
American People He Will Find
Somebody Else Than Mark
Hanna for Mouthpiece.'

Colina, o., October ia large crowd met
the Bryan-McLean special train here and
listened to addresses. Mr.. Bryan de-
ncunced the statement that God mad been
instrumental in our presence in the Philip
pines and said:
when God gets ready to speak to the
American people, He will find somebody
else than Mark Hanna for a mouth
piece"
Mr.. Bryan said he did not believe we
could Shoot or dynamite our civiliza ton
into the Philippines. Nor did he believe
that in the matter of territorial acquisition
We should be sinking to the low level of
European nations. Later in his speech Mr..
Bryan said:
Il think the time has come When no
farmer afford to be republican.
believe THE farmer who supports that party
stands in his own light and is doing himself
an injustice. 1 believe the members of the
republican party of an earlier date have
great reverence for Abraham Lincoln.
Great changes within the party have taken
place since then. Abraham Lincoln, in 1852
wrote letter in which he demonstrated
that he believed in the man first and the
dollar afterwards. Since those days the
party has placed the dollar first and the
man afterwards, and If you republicans who
reverence the name Of Lincoln want to
change conditions, bring the party back to
Lincoln's standard, you must employ an
artist to draw the difference between Mark
Hanna and Abraham Lincoln, employing
the toboggan slide as background (Ap-
plause).
with Abraham Lincoln, the man came
hrst; with Hanna, nothing is genuine un-
less the dollar mark Is blown in the bottle.
When the republican party was organized it
was with the idea that political convictions
We're stronger than party ties The vicious
dollar mark was not consideration then"

South Afrikanders Suffer Reverse at

Wounded Burghers

London, October 20-Yesterday was one of
the most exciting days at the war office
since the crowd attended there to learn the
result of the relief expedition to Gordon at
Khartoum.
The news that the Fifth Lancers had been
engaged brought many ladies and other
friends Of the regiment to inquire for news.
The gravest intelligence today seems to
be the report of the capture of train at
Eiandslaagto because it was understood
that the whole cross country line was
regularly patrolled.
AS no correspondents are allowed at the
front, it is impossible to gain definite in
formation, but is is known that Sir George
Stewart White has been making some ex-
tensive moves of the troops in that neigh
borhood and developments are hourly ex-
pected.
1t is rumored that General Joubert's 8
northern column, with twelve guns, is now
at Dannhauser. Although the Beers have
shown considerable activity in Natal, there
is nothing to indicate that they are yet
prepared for a serious combined attack
and the general belief here is that unless
something unexpected happens, Gen. Sir
George Stewart White will maintain the
defensive.
Mafeking news is still confined to repe-
tition of the stories that Colonel Baden
Powell moved down 800 Beers with his
Maxims
The surrender of Vryburg is not of great
Importance but 1t will be regarded through
out Boerdom as a splendid triumph over
the British.
Some military critics think it not impos-
sible that Gen. Sir George Stewart White
may be able to withdraw his forces from
Glencoe and concentrate them at Lady
smith, there to await developments.
The latest advices received here say that
the Natal carbineers who were engaged
with the enemy at Bester's station had six
men wounded An armored train has been
sent from Ladysmith to bring in the
wounded
Several spies have been arrested at Lady
smith.
The admiralty has made large contracts
for the supply of coal to all British coaling
stations on the way to the Cape, so that
any British squadron will be enabled to
coal without weakening the present supply
It is stated that the cruisers Argonaut
Furious, Pactolus and Pelerius from the

BOERS CAPTURE VRYBURG
Police Have Withdrawn and the Inhab-

London, October 2O.-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing
at 10 o'clock Thursday night, says:
"Vryburg surrendered Sunday. Tonight s
dispatches from Kuruman, ninety miles
west by south of Vryburg, state that the
police having withdrawn from Vryburg,
the town is surrendered to the Beers and
the Inhabitants are fleeing In all directions,
mostly toward Kuruman.
when the police withdrew, the Cape
Boers notified the fact to the enemy, thus
inyiting them to take possession. There
was a fearful panic. The British were
wildly indignant at this scuttling."
