tant news from South Africa comes

No hostilities have occurred, but the
enemy has moved practically to the
border, eight miles from Mafeking, q
force estimated at 5000 men, compris-
ing five commands. The garrisoning
and fortifying of the towns are practi-
cally completed. -
The streets are barricaded and q per-
feet system of mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting Of three bullet
proof cars, the first Of which carries .
searchlight, while thssices Of the
other cars are loopholed. zach train is
complete in itself and carries it's own
provisions. %
A dispatch from Kimberly to the
Cape Argus says that 5000 Beers are
encamped midway betwees Boshof and
Kimberly. They are well armed and
great religious fervor is shown in the
camp. The Beers, however, are chatting
under the delay. They. patrol the bor-
der nightly and have been ordered not
to permit a British unifasn to approach
the frontier.

AN ELEMENT or DANGER.
Alleged Brutal Treatment Of Refugees
by the B0ors.

LONDON, Oct. $50 far as the fact
goes, the commencement of actual hos
tilities between Great Britain and the
Transvaal seems no nearer although it
must be admitted that q new element
Of danger has arisen in the exaspera-
tion caused throughout the British col
onies in South Africa by the stories of
brutal treatment of refugees by the
Beers. Whether these reports are cor
rect or not, the reports Of outrages upon
women and children are having their
effect and are being accepted in many
quarters hitherto incredulous, as con-
frming the anticipations Of the saw
agery that would follow the progress of
the war. The dispatches from the
front are mostly concerned with the
movement of troops. There are several
reports that the Beers are increasingly
restless under restraint and but imper-
feet provision made for their welfare.
It is said that they have threatened to
either raid or return to their hcmes.
President Kruger, however, appears to
have reiterated his order commanding
the exercise Of restraint. The British
and Beers are 80 close together along
the western frontier of the Trsnsvaal
that their patrols meet nightly.
Every train load Of refugees brings
narrowing accounts Of the barbarities
Of the Beers of the Orange Free State.
A train arrived during the day that had
been 81 hours en- route. The sufferings
of the women were dreadful. Several
births occurred on the wsy-one in an
open cattle truck containing 20 men. :
