BELATED DISPATCHES.
Pretoria Adyices Concerning the
Fighting at and Near Mnfeking.

LONDON, Oct. 1s.-Another batch Of be-
lated dispatches reached here to-day. From
Pretoria comes the following, under date Of
Oct. 10 and l.:
The report current at Delegoa bay that
6.ooo Beers have been repulsed at New
Castle Is false.
"Commandant General Joubert has ar
rived at New Castle. Natal. He found only
a hundred men there when he entered the
town.
THE Beers continue to close i'm upon
Mafeking and To destroy the railway north
and south of the town. Among the pris-
oners captured at Lobatsi was the Rev.
Adrian Hofmeyr. He has since been re-
leased.
THE Transvaal officials at Komati Poort
assert that large quantities OF explosives
were found on the railway there. The cul-
prits who placed the stuff where IL was
found were fired on. but escaped.

GOOD WORK AT YOKOHAMA.
$4,000 Soldiers Fed and Cared For by
the American Colony.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. G, via Victoria, B. c.,
Oct 1s-The F'ifty-first Iowa Regiment, the
last of the volunteer regiments TO touch at
this port on it's homeward-bound trip re-
ported here on Oct. and left yesterday for
San Francisco. The Tenneseeans. who form
the extreme rear guard of the returning
troops, are reported as under orders to pro-
ceed direct from Nagasaki on account of the
urgent need OF the transport for reinforce
ments now Fastening to Manila.
Tie departure of the Iowans ends one of
the most remarkable features of the war,
whether it be considered in the light of the
irreproachable conduct of the great army of
Americans passing through, in that of the
patriotic reception by the little American
community here, which has in every pos
sible way ministered to their needs. 1t has
been a gigantic task for the handful of
Americans here TO feed an army of 1900,
TO organize for them an extensive bureau OF
information, TO guard them against imposi-
ton, TO care for all the sick, even to the
extent of taking them into their
homes. TO furnish free baths, to provide de-
lightful headquarters and in every way to
remind them that they were among friends
and countrymen. OF course, the ladies of
the colony have borne the brunt of the
work while the men have furnished the
means, and that most literally. All this
has been done, too. with national pride
which would not permit the acceptance of
foreign aid, though freely proffered. Seldom
has such work been better done, and il may
be added that seldom more freely appre-
ciated and rewarded.

THE TARTAR'S DELAY.
Report of the Commanding officer Of
the Twentieth Kansas.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s.-The secretary
Of war recently instructed General Shafter,
at San Francisco to call on the command
ing officer of the troops on the Tartar for
full statement of facts concerning the de-
lay of that transport in the harbor of Hong
Kong Under date of San Francisco, Oct.
16, General Shafter forwarded the report of
the commanding officer of the Twentieth
Kansas to the department, as follows:
THE chartered transport Tartar is Brit
ish ship, and as such the British law was
deemed TO apply. Under the British law
the Tartar was licensed 10 carry al pas
sengers. The harbor master at Hong-Kong
refused to give the ship clearance because
she carried 1.l40 troops. / wired TO the de-
partment at Washington and the adjutant
general at Manila that clearance was re-
fused because of overcrowding. The reply
was had from Adjutant General Corbin,
asking IL, In my opinion. the ship was over
crowded. and If there was cause for COM
plant from the soldiers regarding food. I
replied that the ship was more crowded
than other transports had been. and that
there was no ground for complaint regard
ing food. Before communication could be
had / wired Clearance allowed: sailed to-
day. The harbor master had, in the mean
time. visited the ship and inspected the
light ducts and ships boats. Attention was
doubtless called to the ship and her passen-
ger list by certain of the discharged SOL
diers i'm persons and by an article which ap-
peared in Hong-Kong paper, written by a
discharged regular soldier, in which the ship
was spoken of as 'sardine box The ac-
tual delay after the ship was ready to sail
caused by the incident about twenty
four hours
Referring to the report of the command
ing officer of the Twentieth Kansas, Ad-
jutant General Corbin yesterday tele-
graphed to General Shafter as follows: 1T
is not quite clear that the Tartar took on
life belts and ship boats at Hong-Kong, or
that the inspection of the harbor master
satisfied him that the provisions Of the
Tartar in that particular were satisfactory,
and, as result of that inspection, he gave
clearance, ETC."
General Shafter has replied to this tele-
gram by saying that the commanding officer
of the Twentieth X nsas reports that the
Tartar took on no additional life belts or
boats, and that he understood the harbor
master granted the clearance because he
was satisfied with the provisions of the Tar
tar in that particular.

Fears Expressed for the Safety of the
Senator with IOMans Aboard.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 1S.-The steamer
Empress of India, which has reached here
from Japan. has completed the toughest
trip of her forty-three voyages. The second
day out from Yokohama she encountered
typhoon which smashed all telegraphic COM
munication between the engine room and
bridges and destroyed some of the boats.
The storm continued unabated all day and
night. Fears are expressed by officers for
the transport steamer Senator, carrying
home the Fifty-first Iowa Regiment. She
left Yokohama for San Francisco eight
hours before the Empress, and, having i'm
mense upper works, would fare badly in a
gale.
SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 1s-The transport
Senator, with the Iowa volunteers on board
is expected to arrive from Manila next
week. The news of the terrible experiences
of the steamship Empress of India while
en- route from the Orient TO Victoria when
she encountered q typhoon causes no alarm
here for the safety of the Senator. which is
supposed to have also passed through the
typhooD. The Senator is a good vessel and
able to withstand the rfgors of a storm of
unusual severity.

The delegate left Santa Rosa and. ac-

american lines at Calamba. The Filipinos
did not proceed far, deciding TO await his
return at a given time. AS the delegate
was detained in Manila longer than they
had expected, they grew suspicious and re-
turned to Santa Rosa.
The plot was then revealed and the re-
manning Spaniards were attacked. The gun
boat Rapidan, coasting near Santa Rosa,
perceived two men on the beach hurriedly
