The British Troops Confdent They

sand of Kruger's Troops.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Dspatches from
the Cape are very meager, but they in
clude an important message from Glen
coe camp, dated 3:35 Monday afternoon,
announcing that the Boer commanders
which invaded Natal through Laingsnek
and after occupying Newcastle advanced
to Dannhauser retired on Ingagane Sun
day evening, their transport service be-
ing reported defective. This will delay
indefinitely the anticipated and hoped for
assault on the strong British position at
Glencoe.
Another dispatch reports activity on
the part of the Free State commando in
the neghborhood of Aliwal North, on the
southern frontier. The Beers advance
patrol, the dispatch says, goes to the
frontier bridge nightly to keep watch,
firing shots at intervals as signals. 1t is
believed the enemy intends shortly to try
to rush the railway station with the help
of artillery posted on ridge command
ing the town.
There are rumors that the Beers have
been repulsed at Mafeking and are at
lacking Vryburg.
A Cape Town paper has a dispatch
from the Orange river stating that the
telegraph wires have been cut between
Vryburg and Kimberley, and it is believ
ed that the Beers are taking advantage
of the presence of a large gathering of
disloyal farmers at Nryburg celebrating
Nachtmaal to attack the town, hoping
that the farmers will assist them against
the British.
The same dispatch says that the Brit
ish force at Kimberley is confident of
its ability to hold out, but urges the i'm
mediate diSnatch of n relief force
The question of a possible rising of
the Dutch farmers in the northern por
tions of Cape Colony is very important.

MONTREAL, oct. l3.-The Canadian
Pacific Railway company has placed or.
ders for 80 or 10 new locomotives with
several of the leading locomotive maun.
facturers in the United States. This is
the first large order for locomotives that
the Canadian Pacific has placed outside
Canada for many years. 1t has been the
policy of the company in the past to turn
out the engines required on its line from
its own shops. Some time ago all the
machinists in the employ of the company
from Fort William to the Pacific went
out on strike because the officers of the
company refused to recognize their labor
union. With the exception of its repair
shops it is understood that the company
will close all its locomotive shops and in
future order the locomotives it requires
from firms in the United States

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Lady Russell
christencd the cup challenger at Poplar.
on the Thames, with bottle of good old
Irish whisky and the words, II christen
thee Shamrock; may you bring back the
cup" The wish Lady Russell expressed
on that occasion is doomed never to be
realized. The mug which the old schoon-
or America won so commandingly against
all corners over the course around the Isle
of Wight in 1851 and brought back
across the seas will remain here at least
another year a defiance to the world.
nhis fact was proved yesterday. when. in
q glorious, whole sail breeze over wind
ward and lceward course of 80 miles, the
Yankee defender Columbia scored against
the Shamrock the first race of the 1899
series for the trophy. She bounded across
the finish line fully a mile and a half
ahead of the challenger, defeating her
by 10 minutes and II seconds actual
time, or 10 minutes and seconds cor
rccted time, after allowing the six sec
onds handicap which the Columbia must
concede to the challenger on account of
her longer water line. 1t was a decisive
contest magnificent race, magnifcently
sailed and magnificently won. Opinion
as to the merits of the two boats had
been somewhat divided as a result of the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IL. - The
Twentieth Kansas regiment and the 400
discharged soldiers who arrived here last
night on the transport Tartar have been
landed. When the quarantine inspec-
ton was finished and the word was pass
ed among the soldiers that the vessel
would be locked Immediately, n great
hurrah greeted the announcement, and
the soldiers commenced their prepare
lions for debarkation. The water front
was black with people. AS the Tartar
passed slowly along the water front the
soldiers were cheered again and again.
Flags were dipped, and whistles and cal
Hopes added to the din.
The march to the Preside reservation
was continuous ovation. The streets
were thronged with excited people, all
anxious to honor the returned heroes.
Cheers upon cheers passed up and down
the lines of people. Cannon were fired
at intervals. bells changed and whistles
and steam calliopes added their respec-
tive noises to the occasion.
General Funston marched with Gov
ernor Stanley of Kansas and escort The
throngs surged around General Funston,
and he had great difficulty in making
progress. Rounds of cheers greeted him,
tary salute and an occasional dofling of
his cap.
The crowds simply would not let the
soldiers pass in peace. Blocks occurred
every few minutes. Relatives and friends
broke into the ranks and marched with
the soldiers, some smiling and laughing
and others crying.
General Funston, in an interview yes
terday, said
This is America You know. and | am
an American That tells the story best
of our delight in reaching home again.
There is nothing like the great joy of
being back among you all here again
