The Wires Cut.

London, Oct. ls.-The gradual c';tting
off OF outlying points at the scene of hos
tilities in South Africa from telegraphic
communication reduced the news obtain
able TO the minimum. Thus far, however,
no reliable information has been received
of any actual fighting except at Kraaipan
and occasional exchange OF shots at vari-
Gus outposts. There is no lack of circum-
stantial stories regarding fighting at vari-
Gus points, but these are scarcely published
before they are denied The only salient
facts in this mornings kilograms are that
the Boers have advanced beyond New
castle and formed lager near Danhaus-
er, about IL mues north OF Dundee, and
that Kimberly is isolated and probably in

Kimberly has thus become the immedi-
ate center OF interest. The last message

STRIKE TWO BY THE BoERs.
Another Armored Train Blown Up
Near MafekinE.

London, Oct. l6.-The Exchange Tele-
graph company received dispatch from
Cape Town saying the Beers have blown
up another armored train carrying oper
ators from Mafeking. The Beers, it is re-

north OF IL streams between Vryburg and
Kimberly. Fighting Is still continuing in
the neighborhood
According to dispatches from the front
the Beers have made several attacks up
on Mafeking, all OF which have been re-
pulsed.
in connection with the rlimored attacks
upon Mafeking, a disquieting report
comes from Pretoria to the effect that the
Rustenburg and Marico commanders have
crossed the border and entered the Roo
igrond territory between Lichtenburg and
Mafeking, blowing up bridges over the
Maloppo river and destroying a trainload
of dynamite and the track. AS MAIZE
king depends upon Rooigrond for its water
supply, the significance Of this move is
evident.
A dispatch from Pretoria says: "Gen-
eTal Koch wires from the patal border that
his command has occupied Botohas pass
and also captured the railway station"
The latest reports from every burg say
the armored train that was destroyed at
Kraaipan contained, in addition to Mes

THE ADVANCE IS GENERAL.

Fighting Expected in IA Few Days
Getting Control of Railroad
The Advance TO he Permanent
Move.

New York, Oct ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
A general advance along the American
lines in Luzon has been begun and war
department officials expect reports OF
some heavy fighting within the next few
days.
Official dispatches received and not
made public show that both Generals
Lawton and Macarthur are moving north
ward with their forces, the purpose being
to get control of the railroad and the i'm
portant towns as far north as possible
Eventually it is intended to send an ex-
petition by water to Lengayen, near the
northern terminus of the railway so as to
flank the enemy. This expedition, howev-
er, will not start until additional troops
have arrived. Meanwhile the divisions
under both Lawton and Macarthur will
push to the north as far as they can.
According to statements made at the
war department this advance is to lie
made permanent There are to be no more
towns taken and then abandoned. With

American forces that probably accounts

A SUNDAY OUTING.
Two Hundred Hebrews Enjoyed Life
at the Oval Yesterday.

The Hebrew Debating Club had an out
ing at the oval yesterday which lasted
through the entire day and into the eve
ming About 200 friends of the club attend
ed The outing consisted of dinner and
consisted of Jacob A. Mottuck, A. Her
man and s. s. Friedman.
The feature of the day was the presence
of hurdy-gurdy, which was played by
Jesse Crosse. His wife played tam
BOURNE in accompaniment. The hurdy-
gurdy has many of the latest popular
songs, and marches in its repertoire. Mrs.
Crosse is an expert with the tambourine,
and the combination formed one of the
best sources of pleasure of the day.
Athletic contests were run off. Charles
Schlesinger, who nearly lost his life
through his devotion to cigarettes at the
lake few days since, attempted to take
part in the bicycle races. He circled the
track in practice several times, paying
more attention to the occupants of the
stand than he did to riding, the result of
spots on his anatomy. He posed as a
hero when he came out to take part in the
mile bicycle race, and showed his scars as
raced against Mike schuiinski. Mike
trailed him for a half mile and then
jumped. Schlesinger made an attempt to
squirt and threw himself blowing up the
track and bruising his body. He'll have
sore spots for several days
The officials of the races were: Starter,
A. Herman; Judges, s. s, Friedman and
+. Goldstein; timers, j. A. Mottuck and
A. Meltzer
William Ferguson and A. Herman won
heats in the 100 yards, and Herman won
the final. In the mile bicycle race, d.

won the 22o yards dash. M Schuiinski
won the two mile bicycle. M Friedman
won the quarter mile run. The timers had
a sinecure They had ordinary watches,
and the best they could do on timing was
guess. A ball game was on the pro-
gram. but Officer Gould, who was on duty,
would not allow them to play.
Officer Gould, by the way, was the hap
piest man on the force yesterday. He
was on duty at the oval from o'clock in
the morning until evening, and he didn't
have anything to do except work all the
time keeping the enthusiastic spectators
In the proper place.
