This means that the land awarded to

Estcourt Isolated by Beers, Who
Control the Railroad to
Moot River.
As a Consequence Important De.
velopments Are Due at
- Any Time.
Evidence Tends to Show Large
Boer Accessions From Cape
Burghers.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-There has appar-
emily been no communication with Est
court, Natal, since noon, Tuesday, and
the Beers now control the railroad
thence to Moot river Consequently,
momentous developments may be ex-
pected at any time. The Beers, it
seems, are swarming southwark. Large
bodies of them are reported all around
Estcourt, and parties Of Beers appear
to be threatening Pietermaritzburg.
The Beers encamped at Highlands sta
ton are we'll supplied with artillery
and all evidence tends to show that the
various Boer forces are being largely
Increased by accessions from the disaf-
fected Cape burghers The serious de-
ticiency in cavalry is being felt by
the British, who are unable to
keep in touch with the mobile
Boer forces, whose presence is hardly
reported before they are lost sight of,
only to reappear at another point along
the line OF communication. General
Hildyard's force at Estcourt, reinforced
by the naval guns, can do little but
wait an attack until General Clery's
column is capable Of taking the field.
According to Cape Town dispatch
General Methuen's division left Orange
river and reached Wittputs, half way
to Belmont, yesterday, and advices
from Orange river today show that the
Beers occupy Belmont in force and that
the neighboring hills are crowned with
Boer cannon A patrol Of Lancers who
had returned to Orange river came I'M
expectedly on two Boer laagers. Three
shrapnel shells burst close to the Lam
ciers, who, however, were unharmed.

Judge at that place and they are some-
what confusing. The military COM

Kibben, telegraphs that the report that
he received from the commander at
Fort Ringgold, near Rio Grande City,
states that all of the troops were in the
garrison at o'clock, when the citizens
of that town advanced on the fort and
fred upon the guard. The guard re-
turned the fire and the entire gar.
rison was
At Once Called to Arms.
The citizens continued their firing upon
the fort and the soldiers returned the
fire, and finally had to bring Calling
guns into play to dispense the attackers.
Tho commander states that he fears
further trouble and asks for more
troops.
The telegram from the county judge
states that the negro soldiers in the fort
there deployed in a ravine on the edge
of the town and fred into and over tho
town for something like an hour and
a half, shooting into a number of
houses, wounding one man and fright
ening the women and children so badly
that number of them had fled to the
surrounding ranches for safety; that
the attack was entirely unprovoked
and the community was highly incensed
and further trouble was looked for at
