as active fighting in the Phillip
pines, where he has recently been
ordered, as he did in the South
during the civil war. he is apt to
make his presence felt. General
Horace Porter tells the following
story, which is both true and
timely: It was about the middle
Of the civil war when a freshly ap-
pointed colonel with a newly en-
listed regiment joined the Union
forces in the far South. They
were beautifully new, both in ex-
perience and in uniforms, and
they were very anxious to fight.
The routine Of camp life drove
them a-~lost to mutiny. One
bright October morning word was
received that a small detachment
of General Wheeler's cdvalrymen
were On the other side Of the hill,
and force started ont III pursuit.
The next day the COnfederates
were reported miles distant in the
opposite direction. The third day
the new colonel and a veteran
brigadiHr started out for a pleas
ure ride. A mile from camp they
rode into the fugitive Confeder-
ates, who had been circiing
the carp for a week. 1t was q
narrow escape, but they got away
unharT: Il. After it was over the
general said to the colonel:
"Well. what do you think Of
war nov"
'Ts Wheeler in this neighbOr-
hood much of the time?" replied
the cOlo0el evasively.
"Ali the time. lie is here, there
and everywhere. What do you
thi-k of the prospect"
"IVel. answered the colonel re.
dectivel-, II wonder whether
there isn't some way this internal
thing can be compromised"
Bun Worries.
"Bun worries" is descriptive
enough, but not so proper a title
as ''tea trots,' but they mean the
same. One victim opens her heart
to the Cincinnati Inquirer in this
fashion:

Nov. 8, evening, says:
Native runners who have just ar

severe defeat at Ladysmith that morn

EsTcoURT, Natal, Thursday, Nov. o.
Heavy firing is now proceeding in the
direction of Ladysmith. 1t began at
daybreak. Some reports are SO much
heavier than any previously heard az to
lead to general belief that the British
heavy naval guns are again active.
A party which rode out several miles
about noon to observe the mbard-
ment of Ladysmith, could see "Long
Tom," q 4O-pounder, posted on the rail
way side of the Bulawar, firing at in
tervals of six to eight minutes. Another
gun was observed in operation little
distance away. Puffs Of smoke were
discernible on the opposite side, show
ing that Ladysmith was withstanding
q big bombardment. The locality of
the town was nothing but q huge cal
dron of smoke.

BRIGHTER LOOK
From the British Standpoint the
South African Situation
Improves.
Beers Evidently Recognize That
Delay Lessons Chances Of
Success.
Reports of Heavy Bombardment
at Ladysmith Come From Diff
ferent Sources.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The simultaneous
attacks on Ladysmith. Mafeking and
Kimberley, which were opened Thurs
day, manifested full recognition by the
Beers of the fact that every day lessons
their chances of successful onslaught
on any of the three British strongholds.
General Joubert's chances of reaching
Pietermaritzburg can be said to have
vanished. This is already said to have
been admitted by Colonel Schiel, the
German officer commanding the Boer
artillery, who is supposed to have been
largely the author of the Boer plan of
campaign, and who, in an interview is
alleged to have said:
"The Boer intention was to have cap
tured Pietermaritzburg and then die
tate terms. But all hope of accomplish
ing this must now be abandoned"
Situation Somewhat Improved.
There is no doubt that from the Brit
ish point of view the general situation
in Natal is rapidly improving. Nearly
5000 troops reached South Africa dur
ing the last 4s hours and by the end of
the week from 5000 to 1000 more
men will be added to the Brit
ish strength in Natal. These will prob
ably be pushed forward to Estcourt,
bringing the British force there up to
10000 men and making general at
tack on Ladysmith by General Joubert
very hazardous.
As the cavalry and artillery belong
ing to General Methuen's division will
not have arrived by then, the advance
from Estcourt may be delayed. But if
it is deemed essential to open communi-
cation with the beleaguered town at the
earliest possible moment, General Me
thuen, it is believed, may decide to re-
place the regular cavalry and artillery
by the Natal and Outlander mounted
forces and the naval guns, in which
case, it is claimed, it ought to be posi-
BILE to occupy Colenso, and stretch out
a hand to General White ~ Monday,
though, it is added, the course to be
followed by General Methuen must
necessarily be dictated entirely by Of
fetal knowledge of General Whites po-
sition and resources and the experts
hope General Methuen will be able to
await the concentration of the whole
division before advancing, and thus
have better chance of dealing a tell
ing blow at General Joubert's main
army, which, it is asserted, will be
caught between the two British forces
and compelled either to fight general
action or retire.
