HAVOC CAUSED BY A 1YpHooN
Terrible Experience of the Transpor,
Siam, Loaded With Horses.

Terrible Experience of the Transport
Siam. Loaded With Horses.
San Francisco Nov. 15.- To be four
days in a typhoon on steamer over
which the crew has no control and
whose decks are loaded with dead and
mangled horses is an experience many
men do not have The crew of the
transport Siam suffered in the manner
described. An unofficial but accurate
account of the typhoon the steamer en-
countered on her way from Manila has
been received.
The Siam left this city on the 18th Of
August with nearly 400 horses for cav
alrymen in the Philippines. The trans
port had very successful tripSto the
Hawaiian islands where ten days were
spent for the purpose of giving the
horses exercise, and on the 9th of Sep
tember the voyage was resumed. On
the 18th the Siam ran into typhoon
that caused her some Inconvenience.
Three horses were lost, but none of the
rest suffered to any great extent. Good
weather followed until the 1st of Octo-
Der, when the transport was near by
to Guam island in the Ladrones.
AT o'clock in the morning the ty-
phoon broke on the ship in full force.
The sea was terrific. The steamer could
not be managed and drifted at the
mercy of the wind, her propeller out of
water half the time and her engines
vainly trying to hold her head up to
the rapidly changing gale AT the first
roll Of the ship all the horses broke
from their stalls. The scene was be-
yond description. The sea broke over
the vessel on both bows and washed
the terrified animals about, breaking
their legs and mangling them in a sick
ening manner. Three hundred and fifty
horses were killed, and they remained
on deck for four days before the bodies
could be disposed of. Thousands of
sharks followed the vessel. being at
tracted by the stencil and the possibili-
ties of feast. The vessel was blown
1000 miles out of her course and was
off the Fcrmosan coast when the storm
blew itself out.
The 4sth regiment (coloreO arrived
here today from Fort Thomas and went
into camp at the Presidio preparatory
to being shipped to Manila.

Contemplated by Joubert.

Believed That Some Big Move Is
Contemplated by Joubert.
| London. Nov. 15.-yery few substan-
| tial facts are contained in yesterday S
and this mornings dispatches from
South Africa, but the general situation
seems to have undergone no change.
| No news later than November 10 has
come from Natal, which looks as
though big move were maturing.
| If Ladysmith had fallen news would
have come at once by way of Pretoria
| of so great a Boer success.
| The place, however is probably in no
| immediate danger. November 10, (Fri-
| day. it was still being bombarded, but
without serious effect.
| The only serious danger of Gen.
! Whites position would arise from a de-
termined assault pressed home by a
disciplined body of men trained in the
use of the bayonet Gen. Joubert may
be forced to try an attack of this sort
before he finally recognizes his failure.
| If so the result is considered a fore
| gone conclusion, SO long as the defend
| ers have adequate stores of ammuni-
| ton.
But it is in the last degree unlikely
that the enemy would attempt an as
sault on the fortified camp, and in the
absence of a struggle at close quarters
the bombardment is bound to be inef-
| fectual.
| The latest reconnaissance of the ar
mored train from Estcourt establishes
the fact that the enemy at Pieter's sta
ton and Colenso have no intention of
coming further south. If they do Gen
Wolfe-M Murray is expected to make 1t
warm for them, pending the arrival of
Gen. Hildyard with reinforcements,
which look now as if they would
amount to 5000 men.
Three more transports have arrived
at the Cape-the Britannia. which made
rapid passage; the Harlech Castle and
the Carisbrook Castle. which has ON
board some wireless telegraphic appar-
atus and operators.
| Kimberley has beaten the Mafeking
record. AT Mafeking one dog was killed
by the Boer bombardment. At Kimber-
| ley one cooking pot has been smashed
The Free State guns opened fire at a
| range of S,160 yards, most of their pro-
jectiles falling short. The Boer shells
are said to be of very inferior charac-
ter. Many fail to burst. All is we'll in
the town. 1t may be trusted to hold out
for weeks. Mafeking has been heard
from up to the evening OF Oct. u. After

London, Nov. 15.-The transports

The Britannia with the Royal Irish
Rifles sailed from Cape Town for

Capetown, Nov. ia dispatch
from Pretoria, dated Nov. 9, says:
Reports from Ladysmith say heavy

Some Boer forces were within 1900
yards of the British when cannon
aiding ceased and rifle fire COM
menced. All is quiet at Mafeking
and Kimberley.
Capetown. Nov. 15.-An undated
despatch from Mafeking, by runner,
via Magalapye, Nov. 8, says: All is
quiet today. We have been bonn
barded pretty heavily all week. Fri
day night a squadron of the protec-
torate regiment made magnificent
bayonet charge upon the Boer en-
trenchments, driving them from
their positions and bayoneting a
number of Beers, who must have
lost heavily. The charge was most
gallant and determined. The party
could not hold the trenches and lost
six killed, two prisoners and nine
wounded. We expect general at
tack tomorrow. The bombardment
has been most ineffectual. Every
one remains under shell proof cover.
So far the shells have only wounded
one man. The town is most cheer
full, determined to resist attack to
the utmost. The Beers are en-
trenched on every side in great
numbers and pushing gradually
closer to the town Qualifications. We
are we'll off for provisions and wa
ter, though very tired of lodging
shells and fighting. Only fifty-five
men of d squadron were engaged in
the attack, though they were assist
ed by thanking fire of the guns of
the Cape police. The Beers made a
desperate attempt to drive back the
British and their rear trenches
opened a terrific fire in every direc-
ton. the flash of the rifles lighting
up the entire position. The hail of
bullets ratified on the roofs of the
houses of the town. Upon complet-
ing the circuit of the Boer front and
line of trenches the British with
drew in independent lines of retreat,
covered by the flank fire from the
Cape police. The Beers continued
to volley at intervals during the
night. The Boer loss is estimated at
100 killed and wounded. \ Boer
commander informed the officer in
charge of the flag of truce that he
estimated the attacking squadron
at 1000, and was not aware that the
British force at Mafeking was so
large. The Beers We're observed
from Mafeking burying the dead all
day long.

The reported threat of President Kru-

arrested in Ladysmith, be harmed, has
caused an outburst of Indignation. The
war Office has not received any confirm

think it false. Nevertheless all the Lon

the alleged threat and say that the
threat to kill in cold blood a number of

civilized government interviewed to save
