CAUSES Anxiety IN LONDON.

Belief That the War Office I. Holding
Back Advtces Interpreted to Mean
That Report. Are Not Favorable-Gen-
r eral Yuis Thought to Be in q Tight
Place ut Dundee. ! .-.
LoNDoN, Oct. 24.-Yo news yet re-
,ceived tends to dispel the apprehension
caused by Lord Wolseley's brief. sum
mary of the situation. A Pietermaritz-
burg dispatch says that the censor now
permits no messages to be sent from
the front. Other dispatches represent
the Beers as boasting that Dundee is
absolutely cut of and assert that de-
spite the British victories the situation
is still uncertain.
It appears that the brilliant victory
at Elandslaagte was productive Of no
effect for the relief of Glencoe, and the
very reticence and brevity OF Lord
Wolseley's communication is only too
ominous. It seems to be worded to
prepare the public for bad news and it
is only too likely that General. Yule
has been compelled to abandon the
wounded and the prisoners at Dundee
because his force is too weak to hold
the four and half miles separating
Dundee from Glencoe.
Many Beers to Reckon With.
! Probably General Yule believes he
can better protect Glencoe from an
enemy advancing from the north by
concentrating all his available strength
at Glencoe, where there are now $500
men and three batteries. It expected
that Commandant Erasmus has by this
time Joined Conmandant General Jou-
bert and that their CONT ined columns
amount to some 10000 or II, 900 men,
while the Free State Beers now threat
ening Ladysmith from the east and Il
column reported to be coming through
Zululand must also be reckoned with.
In short, General Sir Stewart White
has been unable to follow up his sue
cess and is obliged to remain at Lady
smith without being able to restore rail-
way communication, which is probably
broken at other points besides Eland-
slaagte. Thus the enemy, although
their original plan failed, may be fairly
credited with having isolated General
Yule's brigade and divided the British
forces inNatal: General Yule may find
himself in tight place, needing all his
experience in Indian and Burmese
fighting to extricate himself.
News Evidently Hold Back.
It is quite evident that the war Office
has news which is being withheld from
the public and if the situation as here
sketched is confirmed, Boer divisions
may be expected at other frontier
points.
The war Office is besieged with in
quiries. The list of recent heavy losses
caused much heartburning. Said a
workman:
''If this is to be the price for suzer-
ainty, good God, but we are paying in
FULL
1t is regarded as not impossible that
General White may be>>compelled to
concentrate all the Natal forces at
Ladysmith and await the arrival of the
army corps.
A dispatch to The Times from Coles
burg, Cape Colony, says:
1.-The situation is grave. The Beers
are $50 strong and will be reinforced
from Dreikop. No defense is possible.
The town guard will retire on Newport
on the appearance Of the enemy"

Academy-"Thc white Heather

THE White Heather which made de-
cided hit in New York but has not before
been seen in Washington, was the attrac
ton last night at the Academy, and was
greeted by an audience which quite filed
that comfortable little theatre. From time
to time this gathering seemed determined
to see how much noise it could possibly
make in testifying approval OF the very
stirring scenes enacted upon the stage,
and the bright lines and telling points in
the play. which are extremely numerous,
were all received with full appreciation.
The locale of the drama is mainly in
Scotland, and the plot turns on the validity
of a marriage celebrated in the Scotch
fashion by simple declaration before wit
nesses There is in addition record in
the log-bo0k of the yacht White Heather" ="
The villain. Angus Cameron. who thus wed5
the heroine, Marion Hume. keeps the af-
fair secret for his own purposes during
period OF seven or eight years. Finally he
determines to cut off his entail to the es-
tate of which he is the heir and marry
rich woman. thus disinheriting his son and
disayowing his real marriage. Marion
father is driven to bankruptcy and death
in the effort to defeat Lord Angus scheme,
and the matter finally reaches climax in
duel between two divers, who have gone
down to the wreck of the White Heather"
to recover the log. One of these divers is
friend of Marion. the other is Lord
Angus himself, who seeks the volume that
he may destroy it. The piece ends with
his defeat and death and in the vindieation
of Marion.

Grand-VaudeviIIe.

There is not a single poor number in the
entire bill offered this week at the Grand.
Two fair-sized audiences assembled in the
auditorium of that house yesterday and
reached this conclusion, after having heard
all eight of those On the programme. To
be sure, at least three OF the acts present
ed are occasionally stupid and often dis
pleasing, but each has some merit, while
several of those from which little was ex-
pected prove such surprises as to make
up for any deficiency that may exist else
where in the entertainment. Taken as a
whole no better collection of people has
ever been introduced here by Managers
Burke G. Chase.
The undoubted star of the performance
is Pauline Hall, and a close second is FUR
nished in the turn of The Dresden Trio"
Miss Hall does not look a day older han
when she was last seen locally, and her
voice has positively improved Yesterday
she was enoored and encored, until she had
contributed five selections, her clear,
strong soprano rousing enthusiasm that
reached a climax when she sang the lul-
Iaby from "Erminie." Considerable ap-
plause was also evoked by The Dresden
Trio" aforementioned. In THE Queens

umyirate sing remarkably we'll. and the
whole Offering is as graceful. charming.

Harry Edison has a few letters in black
type on the programme of this week, but

Doc. This little beast seems possessed Of
genuine intelligence, and does some OF
the most marvellous things the mind OF
