THE B0ERS ATTACK
y.
IADYsMlTH.
Decisive Battle Expected
Shortly.


LADYsMITH, Oct. 30.--Firing COM
menced at o clock this morning, the
Beers shellng Ladysmith with 20
Founders. After seven shots the Brit
ish gunners succeeded In silencing the
Boer fire.
A force Of Boers Is now advancing on
the British left flank.
ANOTHER REPORT.
LONDON, Oct. 30. The War Office
has received a dispatch which says
General White has fought an engage
ment, presumably with General Jou-
beet's forces, which was pushed back
after several hours fighting. The Brit
ish lost about 100 men and the Boer
losses were much greater The Beers
we're In greater numbers and had bet
ter artillery.
A DECISIVE BATTLE.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A dispatch to the
Associated Press from Ladysmith this
morning. which was sent at express
rates, came through in the remarkable
time Of two hours. 1t shows the crisis
which the present stage Of war oper-
ations has reached aud that the attack
on Ladysmith by the joint Boer forces
has opened.
A dispatch from Durham, timed 9;5l
this morning, supplements the Asso-
oiated Press dispatch with the informa-
ton that the Beer shells we're chiefly
directed at the station, and that no
damage was done up to the time that
the message from Durham was forward
ed.
That the heavy guns OF the Boers
from which 50 much was expected
should be sileneed 80 speedily, as indi
Gated by the Associated Press dispatch
from Ladysmith, i a matter OF great
surprise, but the subsequent advance
OF the burgher force on the British left
flank shows the attackers we're In nc
way dismaysd thereby and we're still
full of the same self-conhdenee and dar-
ing they have already exhibited on "a.
rious occasions.
Apparently sht Boets have c3neen-
srated Tor a supreme effort at Lady.
smith. They have Withdrawn their
forces from othor points, which they
consider momentarily to be Of less i'm.
portance. The ease with which they
reorganized the Germen corps, which
was almost annihilated at Glands
Laagte, and General Lucus Waier'i
column, shattered at Balan Hill, shows
how great are their recuperative pow
ers and their fertility of resource.
The perseverance shown in trans
porting heavy ordnance and posting II
in commanding positions has forced ad
miration everywhere from their enem
les. Unless the present attack Is mere
ly feint to occupy the British whil'
the invaders are cutting of communl
cation southwark, the battle which
they opened this morning may decide
the issue OF the war SO far as fighting II
the open Is concerned, as, unless tn
eighteen or twenty thousand Boer
around Ladysmith are able to destro!
the twelve thousand British troop
there, they can hardly hope to cop
with General Buffers army corps.
The latest news from the wester,
border has apparently assured the Brit

Hastings, Mimi, Dec. 27.-Christmas
at this points was ushered in by a fire
which destroyed property valued at
about 100000. Nearly three blocks Of
buildings in the business portion Of
town, principally fronting on Fermil-
lion street, were burned. The fire
broke out in r. G. Libbey & Co.'S saw
mill, evidently the work of an incen-
diary, and the entire plant, with plan
ing factories, store houses, lumber of
fees, sheds, ETC., were consumed, at an
estimated cost of about $4,000, with.
nominal insurance on the stock. Over
100000 feet of upper grade lumber
was also consumed. "A strong north
west wind was blowing and the flames
spread rapidly to st. Johns hotel.
owned by John Kleis: and the saloon
of Kleis & Grub, both buildings being
laid in ashes. The fire then swept
across Second, street and laid low the
business houses for nearly a block. On
the west the residence of. Matthias
Renter, two additional store buildings
of r. G. Libbey & Co., and a tenement
occupied by Bert Paulson We're burned.
The. sparks finally extended to the
four-story building of w. r. Mather,
in the adjoining block to the south.
which was quickly enveloped in flames.
and nothing but the walls of the old
landmark remain. The adjacent dwell
ing Of NJ. d. Franklin was next to take
fire and was soon destroyed. The re-
lentless. flames then swept forward
to the blacksmith and paint shop of
Cavanaugh & Currier. both buildings
being totally destroyed. Most of the
buildings burned were only partly i'll
sured and the loss upon owners will
fall rather heavily. The flames made
q brilliant spectacle in the heavens and
could be seen for miles.
Mayor Fred Busch wired the mayor
of st. Paul for aid and as oon as pos
sible two steamers and supply wagons
were sent down and materially aided
In %subduing the further spread of tho
destructive flames. The fire was the
worst Hastings has suffered for many
years. and not only many people are
thrown out of employment but rem
dered homeless as well.
