After such an exhibition Of vigor the talk

hard to see the justification for such def

from the meager reports from the scene

they would doubtless desire to attempt

The diversion Of Boer units from Lady

claimed. be taken as any indication that
the Beers have given up hope of captur-
ing Ladysmith. FOR their plans OF cam
paign appear to be far too slNillfuly

1t is interesting TO note that among the
British naval brigade at Ladysmith are
no less than seven midshipmen. none
probably over Il, among them being Sir
Edward Chichesters son. There are also
two naval engineers. This is the first

WHITES TROOPS
MAY BE SHORT
OF AMMUNITION

LONDON, Nov. 1S-Ominous statements
are coming by mail that the British re-
treat from Dundee was largely due to the
shortness Of ammunition, and as this. ii is
thought. is probably the plight at Lady
smith and elsewhere 1t seems to furnish
ground for anxiety for the safety of the
various isolated garrisons.
With the Colenso bridge destroyed, il is
claimed that General Butler will have
more difficult transport problems to solve.
Belated dispatches from Cape Town give
General Buffers reply to the application
of Colonel Schiel, the German officer cap
tured at Glands Laagte, for a parole. in
accordance with the alleged promise Of
General White. General Butler expresses
regret that captivity is inconvenient TO
Colonel Schiel, but declines TO admit that
there is any breach of etiquette. He con-
tinues:
mo commander can give parole or eX-
ercise control over the safe keeping of a
prisoner outside the limits of his own
command. BY the action of the forces Of
the republic General Whites command at
present is limited to Ladysmith. and the
general commanding is perfectly justified
in making arrangements for the safety of
the prisoners of war that the demands Of
his command require. Great Britain is
6OOO miles from the Cape. The Transvaal
declared war and invaded British terri
tory before a British force could be put
in the field. They therefore obtained an
advantage at the outset. They no doubt
took into consideration the fact that he
small British force opposed TO them would
have few men to spare to guard prisoners
who might therefore be subjected to close
restraint on the arrival of the British

An official dispatch from Pretoria dated
Friday, November 10, confirms the state
ments TO the effect that the Boer big guns
had little effect at Mafeking.
Reports from Cape Colony indicate that
the Boer sympathizers are greatly sur
prised at the inability of General Joubert
to capture Ladysmith.
Interesting details are arriving at Cape

fire and bullet passed through his leg.
the second riddled his helmet and the
third killed his horse. Lieutenant Brooke
thereupon started to run, hotly pursued
by the Beers, who were mounted and
would certainly have captured him but for
an intervening wire fence. The bullets
fell thick around the lieutenant as he
climbed the fence. but the Beers stopped
pursuing him, and though they peppered
away at him Brooke escaped.
