THE SITUATION IN DOUBT.
NO Defiaite News From LadysmIth Since
Moadsy's Fight.

M@@~@I - GABHGs
London, Nov. 4.-There is very
little intelligence today. but it is
believed that the Delagoa bay
route, if not already restored,
speedily will be. thus giving quick
er communication with the Cape.
The situation is still hopeful. The
accounts that continue to arrive
regarding the fighting on Farqu-
hairs farm only confirms the seri-
Gus nature and narrow escape Gen.
White had. On this point the
Morning Post remarks: Moth
ing tells such a tale of battle as
the list of the missing. When
the missing exceed the killed it is
almost safe to write defeat across
the story, because missing means
abandonment or surrender"
BOER PLANS.
London, Nov. 4.-The Standard
publishes dispatch from Luxem-
bourg which says:
Until within very few days
DR.. Leyds has been in telegraphic
communication with Pretoria
through an indirect diplomatic
channel, by means of which he has
been able to inform the Transyaal
of the supposed British plan to ad-
vance through the Orange Free
State. With a view of anticipat-
ing this movement the Beers will
endeavor to capture or isolate La
dysmith and then press on to Dur
ban, where they would be able to
prevent British debarkation, while
the main Boer army would hastily
retrace its steps to defend the line
of the Orange river"
NO FRESH INFORMATION.
London, Nov. 4.-The war Of
flee this afternoon, replying to in
quiries, said no information had
been received there of fresh Boer
movements at Colenso or elsewhere,
and it was added that the officials
were not aware that the railroad at
Ladysmith was intact or not.
SYMPATHY FOR BOERS.
Paris, Nov. 4.-The municipal
council today passed resolutions
offering its entire sympathy to the
Beers. who are struggling for in
dependence, expressing regret that
the European powers had not in
tervened to prevent the conflict
and hoping that peace would be
speedily secured.
