London Nov. 14-Nothing is known
either at the war office or the colonial
office here regarding the alleged Off
cial statement cabled from Cape Town
saying State Secretary Reitz, in behalf
of the Transvaal government, has de-
manded that Gen. White Immediately
release Nathan Marks, a supposed spy
who is confined at Ladysmith. adding
that President Kruger threatens, II
Marks is executed. to retaliate by
shooting six British officers now in the
hands OF the Beers. Ii is further as
serted from Cape Town that Marks en-
tered Ladysmith after the investment
OF that place with the supposed object
of obtaining Information FOR the Beers
and one version of the story is that the
Transvaal authorities have threatened
to execute six British officers If the
supposed spy is~nOt released. Gen. Bull
Ter is said TO have replied that the Brit
ish were entitled to retain the man un--
til he shall render satisfactory ac-
count of himself. Both ctories, IL is
asserted. bear the imprint of improb-
ability. as there is no reason to think
the Beers would be guilty OF such
complete change from their previous
correct attitude and manner of con-
Quoting the hostilities.
THE CHAPLAIN'S STORY.
There is no doubt that the lombard
ment OF Iadysmith has increased IN
intensity during the last few days, and
although all messages from there speak
OF the confidence Of the defenders, "A
load OF anxiety will be removed from
the country when unrestrained COM
munication with the beleaguered town
is re-established The allegations OF
Father Matthews have made a painful
impression and there is a disposition 10
discredit them as being merely the ex-
cited view of a non -combatant ignorant
Of real military requirements.
Nevertheless his story has added i'm
mensely to the anxiety or those VINO
have relatives at the battle, of Nichol-
sons Mex. as they have now the dread
Of dishonoriug exposure.
FEARS A DEMONSTRATION.
Considerable feeling has been arous-
ed by the announcement that Sir VIII
liam Butler former commander at the
Cape. will not command the troops on.
the occasion Of the queens visit 10
Bristol tomorrow As Gen. Butler
commands the Western district his abb
sence from the ceremony is remark
able. and Is attributed to fears of hos
tile demonstrat tion. owing to his un-
popular attitude with reference to the
Transvaal.
Later i'm the dav the Eastern Tele-
graph company formally announced,
that i'm accordance With the instruc-
tions OF the postmaster general Of Cape

In the old days astrologers always at
tached n great deal OF Importance to
comets and meteoric showers. and they
were said to portend grave events in
the destiny of the mighty nations Of
the earth. Wars and pestienCes were
traced by the astrologers TO such influ-
ences. and wars have ever followed or
come at the time az these displays, IL
is claimed. What happened in the COS
IS well known. and the present wars in
this country and England may be re-
marked. once in about every 80 years
there have been meteoric showers OBJ
served Early records Of this are not
very definite, but way back I'm the Mid
die Ages there are records OF shooting
stars at the time when the November
meteors were making their display, Toe
first accurate record perhaps. Is that

erica. IN 1866 a full record was made
and this year the best Will be made, III
the state OF the weather permits.
When the shower Of meteors arrives
in this vicinity the city viii be- aroused
by the ringing Of the fire alarm bells.
The fire department is to be notified by
Prof. Winslow UPTON Of Brown unver-
sity. who is in charge Of the Ladd OBJ
servatory. Pro-. Upton Is not at all Ger
tain when the shower will start up. but
he will keep watch until November rs
and doubtless after that time.
