What is believed to have been an attempt
to wreck military trains bound from Penn
broke dock to Southampton was discovered
yesterday evening. Five chains were placed
on the tracks near Swansea. Two trains
laden with troops passed soon after their
discovery.
The parliamentary secretary of the war
Office, George Wyndham, made a statement
In the House of Commons today, saying:
Lord Wolseley sums UP the position in
Natal early this morning as follows In
the battle of Elandslaagte, October 21, two
guns were captured from the Beers, who
lost heavily. A large column of the enemy
appeared advancing from the north and west
on General Yule, who consequently had fall
lon back from Dundee and was concentrate

GLENCOE CAMP, Oct. 22.-(Delayed in
Transmisson)-12:20 p. m.-The attack
made by the Boer forces under General
Lucas Meyers on the British position Satur-
day enabled the British forces to score an
other signal success. The Beer column was
driven pellmell over the plains, losing over
300 killed and wounded. In addition the
British captured several hundred horses and
made many prisoners, who are being well
cared for. The Boer hospital has been taken
under the wing of the British hospital corps
as the Beers had only simple doctor with
primitive staff who was quite unable to
cope with the wounded.
AS it has been raining all night long and
the weather heavy and misty, it is hardly
expected that the Beers will make another
attack today

WASHINGTON, Uct. 23.-GoVernor Steun-
enberg of Idaho had another conference to-
day with Secretary Root respecting the
maintenance of federal custody CT the miners
who are now held as prisoners in Idaho by
the troops The War department is anxious
to escape the responsibility for the further
care of these prisoners. On the other hand
Governor Steuenberg cannot see his way
clear to accepting their custody, because he
has no sufficient force to take care of them.
Secretary Root has suggested that the gov
ernor issue a call for a special session Of
the legislature to deal with this question.
Meanwhile the War department will con-
tinue, for short time at least, to hold the
prisoners.
