TRANSvAAL PROCLAMATION
Kruger Claims District North of the
Vaal River

Lonndon, October 25.-The Daily Tele-
graph has the following from Deear, Cape
Colony dated Monday evening:
'"The Transvaal government is about is
suing a proclamation declaring the district
north of the Vaal river and including
Bechuanaland to be Boer territory.
"Commandant CronJe, who has been twice
repused at Mafeking, is said to be advance
ing on Kimberly and to be impressing men
and seizing stores and munitions in British
territory He left a small force investing
Mafeking. The Free State Beers are mov-
ing westward in order to join him for an
attack on Kimberly.
1.-THE dispatch riders who are coming
down to the Orange river from Kimberly
are performing thrilling feats. They ride
through the Boer lines under cover of dark
ness and get to the Orange river without
taking any rest, save for a change of
horses. The distance is sixty miles.
Zone rider who got into Kimberly last
Friday was chased seventeen miles by
Beers, narrowly escaping with his life The
same man returned safely with dispatches
to Orange river today. When he reached

DESIGNER FIFE'S ILLNESS

New York, October A.-An informal
luncheon in honor of Sir Thomas Upton,
owner of the Shamrock, was given today in
the rooms of the Transportation club In the
Manhattan hotel. A number of railway and
steamboat transportation officers were pres
ent. Senator Chauncey M. Depew, presi-
dent of the club, received the guest. The
senator in an address said:
mo man has contributed so much to the
speed of England and so much to exhiliar-
ate the speed of this country as Sir Thomas
He wanted that cup. We stopped twisting
the lions taR a year ago and this year we
had to stick pins in the eagle. The result
has been satisfactory to the eagle.
ut is the sporting spirit in its best sense
that carries England's flag and the spirit of
England over the whole world, and it Is
the sporting spirit in it's best sense that car
ries our flag to the other side of the world.
The same feeling that stirred us when We
received the news of the battle of San Juan
stirred us two or three days ago when we
received the news of the fighting in the
Transvaal."
In reply Sir Thomas said he was deeply
moved by the sincere greeting extended
him.
II have been asked" said Sir Thomas, "if
/ would challenge again. Unfortunately
Mr.. Fife, the designer of the Shamrock has
been sick and we have not had the benefit
of his advice during the whole series of
races. After the last race he was too Ill to
be told although I suppose he knows now.
Now, gentlemen, I am prepared to make
another challenge when Mr.. Fife regains
his health and I can discuss the matter
with him.

KRUGER ISSUING PROCLAMATION
Dom Paul Declares District North of

ritory- Kronje Advancing
on Kimberly.

London, October 25-The following dis
patch from General Sir George White to
the Marquis of Lansdown, secretary of
state for war, received last night at IL
o'clock, was posted at the war office soon
after midnight:
"Ladysmftn. October 24-9 p. m.-Informa-
tion received today showed that the Beers
had established themselves in considerable
numbers in an exceedingly strong position
west of the main road leading from Lady
smith to Dundee. l also had information
that the Dundee force, formerly commanded
by General Symons, and since his wounding
by General Yule, was falling back on Lady
smith by way of the Helpmakaar road,
Beth, and the valleys of the Waschbank
and Sunday rivers and was expected to
reach Sunday river valley today. 1 there
fore moved out with a strong force to as
sist the movement of Yules column. The
enemy was discovered about seven miles
out of Ladysmdth in a position of great
natural strength, south of THE road. When
he saw that preparations were being made
against him, he opened fire with one gun
with great accuracy.
Our artillery soon got into position and
the gun was silenced. Our troops were or
dered to occupy a strong ridge, parallel to
the ememy's position but nearest the road.
81 confined my efforts to occupying him
and hitting him hard enough to prevent his
taking action against Yule's column. Num-
bers of the enemy fed to the west and the
firing had practically ceased at 2 O'clock"
The war office dispatch seems to indicate
a realization OF the worst fears General
Yule has abandoned not only Dundee but
would indicate, he has neither Joined Cen
eral White nor reached Ladysmith. Gen
eral Whites successful action announced
in parliament by Mr.. 4Windham seems to
resolve itself into a mere engagement of
the forces, in which General Yule is said
ITO have retreatsd.
1t Is evident from the official dispatches
that both Commandant-G General Joubert's
column on the north and the Orange Free
State troops on the west now occupy strong
positions and that nothing hinders the
Beers from following General Yule's re-
tirsment and getting around Ladysmith
from the southeast.
1t is believed the government has other
dispatches that have not yet been pub
lished. The secretary of state for war left
Mr.. Choate's residence immediately ait the
end of the banquet to General Harrison
and proceeded to the war office, where even
after midnight there was considerable ac-
tiyity, many visitors calling to inquire for
Information, among them a sister of Cen
eral SIR Archibald Hunter

DISASTROUS VICTORIES
More Fights Like Glencoe Will Leave
British Unofficered

London October 25.-Although there Is no
reason to doubt the accuracy of the dis
patch from Capetown to the Daily Mail re-
garding General Yule's movement, 1t is Gu
rious that General Whites telegram to the
war office is also dated at p m. but makes
no mention of a joining of forces.
When the war office dispatch was issued
lust after midnight the officials announced
that nothing more would be communicated
until Wednesday morning, so that 1t Is I'M
possible to confirm or deny the news. Gem
eral Yule had heavy march mace Mon
day over the Stratford slopes and the Sur
gontein table both over 5000 feet high and
arrived at dusk at Beth which is half way
between Rourkes Drift and Waschbank.
He had a still heavy march and was hardly
expected to join General White at Lady
smith until today. His acts were actuated
by sound Judgment and In desperate po-
sition ne gave credit to himself and men.
A few more victories like Glencoe and
Elandslaagte, however, he said, would leave
the British troops without officers. While
the Beers have failed to take advantage OF
their strategic position owing to the in
competence or haste of their leaders, the
British have no cause for congrafulation
over the results of the Natal operations.
and their victories have practically gone for
nothing, the whole of northern Natal being
abandoned to the Beers.
II would have been better to have con-
centrated on Ladysmfth in the FIRST IN
stance. but General White and General Sy-
mons had to yield to political exlgehcies
and to the local reluctance to abandon an
inch of territory more than was necessary.
IT is not expected that the wounded lert
Of dundee will suffer except In being pr1s-
oners of war. The news of unrest In
Basutoland causes much anxiety

POSITION UNCHANGED
The Siege OF Kimberly Continues-Pris-
oners Well Treated

Capetown, October PA dispatch from
Kimberley dated October H and brought
by dispatch rider to the Orange river,
has just arrived here. 1t says:
The position in Kimberley is unchanged.
The siege continues. Yesterday the armor-
ed train found the enemy in the same po-
sitlon in the Spynfontein
The prisoners who were captured when
the armored train was destroyed by the
Boers at kraalpan are now reported alive
and we'll treated The Beers hoisted the
nag of the Transvaal over Vryburg on
October 18, and are about issuing procla-
nation that Bechua analand now forms part
of the Transvaal. This Is regarded as a
move on the part of the enemy to induce
the colonial Dutch to join the republic
without incurrlng the risk hereafter of the
charge of high treason If the Beers are ul-
tfmately defeated. Colonel Kreckwich, on
hearing of It, Immediately issued procla-
ation notifying the people that If any
British subjects were found assis ting her
majesty's enemies, either directly or ndi-
rectly, such persons would be punished
summarily as base rebels. Several arrests
of Cape Dutchmen were made here yester-
day evening"

AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION

Terre Haute, Ind. October A-The Ameri-

A delegation of railway brotherhood men
and labor leaders met with Debs before he
left for the west to consider the matter and
give them his answer upon his return to his
home in this city. The reason for the pro-
posed reorganization is the alleged lack of
harmony which exists between the railway
un, ms and which the railroads are said to
be taking advantage of. 1t Is believed here
that Debs will undertake the work.

"a reliable native lately visited a lager
of Orange Free State troops just opposite
Maseru He found 1t to consist of wagons
surrounded by turf piled three feet high.
He noticed only few Mausers. The Boer
commandant questioned him regarding the
feeling of the different Basute, principally
the paramount chief, Lorothodi, and in or
der TO draw the commandant out, the ma
tive epned that the chief sided with the
the Beers.
.sThereupon the commandant said the two
republics wished to kill the Britishers and
to take over and govern the Basutos, re-
storing to the latter THAT part of the coun-
try which the Free State formerly took
from the natives. As to the Britishers,
those whom they failed to kill they would
drive into the sea.
