EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
EXCITEMENT OYER 4 REPORTED
 THREAT OF THE BOERS.

To Execute Sir British Officers If a sup-
 posed Spy Is Not ReIeused--The Prepa-
 rutiona for Relieving Lsdysmtth-At-
 tack on Kimberley.
 London, Nov. 14--A despatch from Cape Town, dated Friday, November 10, says that State Secretary Reitz has demanded that General White imme- diately release the supposed spy, Na- than Marks who is confined at Lady smith, supporting his demand with 8 threat to execute six British officere. General Butler replied, according to / the despatch, that he was entitled to retain the man until he should render a satisfactory account of himself.
 Nothing is known at the war office or the colonial office here regarding this alleged demand by State Secretary Reitz. It is asserted from Cape Town that Marks entered Ladysmith, after the investment of that place, with the supposed object Of obtaining informa- tion for the Boers.
 Both stories it Is asserted, bear the imprint of improbab bility, as there is no reason to think the Boers would be guilty of such a complete change from their previous correct attitude and manner of conducting the hostilities. Nevertheless, the sensational after noon newspapers here are already de- roa I,ot ,,I all the members of the executive coun- cil be ruthlessly hanged, as the only fitting reprisal in the event of State Secretary Reitz's threat being carried out.
 That the relief of General White is considered matter of pressing import ance is again evidenced by the satisfac- tion with which the officials heard of the arrival of the transport Armenian at Cape Town yesterday couple of days before her time. Her field guns and ammunition were needed in Gener- al Lord Methuen's arrangements for the relief of General White. It is true that the first division still lacks caval- ry, but in all probabil the first ar- rivals of that arm at Cape Town will be sent to Durban, irrespective of which division they were originally assigned to.
 There is no doubt that the lombard ment of Ladysmith has increased in intensity during the last few days, and, though all messages from there speak of the confidence of the defenders, a load of anxiety will be removed from the country when unrestrained commu- nication with the beleagured town is re-established.
 The Eastern Telegraph company for mally announced to-day that, in ac- cordance with the instructions of the postmaster general of Cape Colony, no foreign government despatches, either in secret or code or cipher, could be transmitted via the cape, except mes- sages between Portugal and the gover- nor-general of Lorenzo Marques.

The. two things in the Florida car
that most struck our attention, were
the alligators and the tobacco signs.
We had seen alligators before, but as
they swan in the tank, the peculiarly
of their eyes struck our notice. Their
eyes project above their nose, some
thing like the ''conning towers" on the
monitors, so they can swim along under
the surface while their eyes are above
the water and can take in everything
that is to be seen. Asking what pro-
vision had been made by which they
could see under and above water, we
were told they were provided with
two eyelids that acted independently.
AS to the signs, the first that confront
ed as was 'He that enters here, leaves
his cigar behind" and another further
on was eff you can't do without using
tobacco, go to the door and get youi
money; this is not bar room.'

DR.. W. D. SCARFF
Given a Dinner in Honor of His SOth
Birthday Anniversary.

DIR. W. d. Scarf was so years old last
Friday, and he was given birthday
dinner, in honor of the event, by his
niece Miss Name Scarf.
DIR. Scarf came to Bellefontiane from
Green, his native county, in 1874,
and has therefore lived here about 30
years. Bellefontaine was then a
shabby little village, and DR.. Scarf has
witnessed all its growth, and besides
building up fine practice here, has
been one of it's leading citizens in
public and educational matters. We
hope he may be spared in strength and
health to enjoy continued respect and
honor from his fellow citizens.
