PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The various announcements reva rd-
ing Boer movements seem to indicate
their probable plan of campaign In the
event OF hostilities. Their chief force.
apparently, would surround the narrow
stretch of Natal territory jutting into
the Transvaal. thus threatening
Laings Neck. Charlestown and Dundee:
while the Orange Free State comman-
dee from Harrismith Is expected TO op-
crate near Van Reenan's Pass. thus
threatening Ladysmith.
Military critics are confident that
Great Britain Will hold her own in Ma
tai. The Free State commanders an
pear to be moving slowly. 1t is proba-
bic that the government has loaned a
portion OF the Free State artillery to the
Transvaal. The cnly concentration at
present is at Harrismith in the NORTH
eastern section of the Free State and
at Boshof. northwest OF Bloen1fontein.
1ichtenburg is the base OF Command
ant Cronjes' movement on the western
border. menacing the Mafekng Rail-
way between Mafeking and vryburg
in Bechuanaland.
LARGE FORCE ASSEMBLED.
There is well authenticated report
that large fore, OF Beers is assem-
bed at Selk. at the junction OF the
Crocodile and Pongola rivers. evident
ly with the object of destroying the
railroad. The northern commando,
whose base is at Peyersburg. confronts
Col. Plumbers command. which will
move nearer the border today The
report regarding the extent of the Boer
artillery is probably exaggerated, as IL
is believed the burghers possess few
field guns and it is unlikely that they
would dismantle their forts in order to
send garrison pieces to the front. The
military authorities estimate that there
are not 10000 Beers in the field.
The latest advices from Cape Town
this afternoon indicate a widespread
impression there that unless the Beers
begin hostilities by Thursday they will
not fight. but will Weld to the imperial
demands when formulated.

Plan Of Campaign Prepared
by the Boer Leaders.

London, Oct. 4.-There is nothing very
tangible in today's war news. The sit
uation remains as strained as ever
Some hope may be derived from the ap-
parent fact that the forces ON the from
tier are regarded by both sides as
wholly defensive for the present and
from the statement that Mr.. ]. III Hof-

found the situation on the Natal bor-
der so grave that he wired for imme-
date transportation for himself and
staff to Durham, and the British second
class cruiser Forte was placed at his
disposal.
The stock exchange was influenced
during the opening hours today by
vague rumOrs that Queen Victoria had
cabled President Kruger and President
Steyn holding out the olive branch. and
by a report that the Beers had been
defeated in a small engagement Prices
rose. but there was a speedy relapse
when both stories were discredited

that Mr. Kimball will be the standard

The fact Is generally stated today
that Mr. Kimball is the strongest can

Scalding milk is poured oyer it, and in two minutes it is soft and ready 10 be sprinkled with sugar, unless salt and pepper are preferred. he addition of little vanilla trans forms the juvenile favorite into deli- cate nasty pudding.
