Dundee and Glcncoe-lIas Neither
Joined White nor Reached Ladysmith,
and His Whereabouts Arc Unknown.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Worlds spe-
cial from Kimberley, dispatched Thurs
day at $50 p. m, and which was car
ried by mounted messenger to Orange
river and thence cablcd, says:
combined Bocr attack III large force
with heavy guns is expected tomorrow
and should the British successfully re-
Sist ultimate success is assured Then
come the following words, rs If hur-
riedly added:
"Boers shelled the town and the town
sent a flag of truce. Must close. No
casualties in the bombardment.'
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The following dis
patch from General White was posted
at the war office soon after midnight:
"LADYsnru, Oct. 2l.-Information
received yesterday showed that the
Boers had established themselves i'll
considerable number in an cxcee dinghy
strong position west of the main road
leading from Ladysmith TO Dundee. |
also had information that the Dundee
force, formerly commanded by General
SvmOnS and since his wOunding COM
mandcd by General Iulc, was falling
back on Ladvsmith by way OF the Help
1naakar road, Beth and the valleys Of
the Waschbank and Sunday rivers, and
was expected to reach Sunday river val
ley today l, Therefore, r20THd a strong
force to cover the L."E@H. ht OF 1ule.
The enemy was about seven miles from
Iadysmith, in q position of great nat
ural strength west of the road. When
' he saw that preparations were being
made against him, he opened fire with
one gun with great accuracy. Our ar
tillery soon got into position and the
gun was silenced. Our troops We're Or
dered to occupy strong ridge parallel
to the enemy, but nearer the read. |
confined my efforts to occupying and
hitting him hard enough to prevent his
taking action against 9ule's column.
Numbers of the enemy fed to the west
and the firing had practically ceased at
2 o'clock"
The war office dispatches seem to
realize the worst fears. General Gule
has abandoned not only Dundee, but
Glencoe also and so far as present news
would indicate, he has neither joined
General White nor reached Ladysmith.
General Whites "successful action an
nounced in parliament by Mr.. Wynd-
ham seems to resolve itself into a mere
engaging Of the attention of the Free
State troops while General Iule is slip
ping southwark.
1t is evident from the official dis.
patches that both Commandant Gen.
eral Joubert's column on the north and
the Orange Free State troops i'll the
west, now occupy strong positions and
that nothing hinders the Beers from
following up General Yule's retirement
and getting around Ladysmith on the
southeast. Until rcnforcements ar.
rive it seems General White is forced
to concentrate on Ladysmith. 1t is
believed the government has other dis
patches not published.
The secretary Of state left for his res
idence Immediately after the banquet
to ex President Harrison and proceeded
to the war Office, where even after mid
night there was considerable activity
where many persons called for infor
nation.

HEARD ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
English Catholic Union Society Listened
to an Address by the American.

English Catholic Union Society Listened
to an Address by the American.
LONDON, June 2S.-The Duke of Nor
folk, premier duke, hereditary marshal
and chief butler of England, presided at
a special meeting of the Catholic Union
Society of Great Britain, convened to
hear an address by Archbishop Ireland.
Archbishop Ireland expressed his
pleasure at having an opportunity to
address some of the great hereditary
families of England who had distin-
guished themselves in science, art and
literature. The liberty granted by Eng
land to Roman Catholicism would, he
believed, greatly influence the nations
of the world, who would initiate her
action on this question, and her exam
pie would thus be the means of entend-
ing the church of Rome throughout the
world.
Referring to the cordial relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, the archbishop said he hoped
this friendship would increase as the
years passed-a sentiment which was
received with hearty cheers.
Bishop Thomas O'Gorman of Sioux
Falls and the bishop of Emmaus, Pal
estine, were among those who listened
to the address.
