THE REALITIES OF WAR.
London Excited Over Destruction
Of Armored Train.
LIKE MAINE DISASER.
Beers We're, However, Within Their
Rights as Belligerents-Fears
for the Worst.

London, Oct. 13.-The announcement
that the Beers had destroyed an armored
train on the western border of the Trans
vaal is calculated to bring home to 1.-The
man in the street. the realities of war.
Attempts are made to liken the occur
renee to the blowing UP of the United
States battleship Maine in Havana har-
Dor, but that event occurred in times of
peace The Beers were doubtless within
their rights as belligerents if they are re-
sponsible for the destruction of the train.
The only comparison that can be insti-
tuted with the blowing up of the battle
ship is in respect of the loss of life, II,
as there is too good reason TO fear. the
train in question was one that had left
Mafeking with 300 women and children
Taken in conjunction with the earlier an
nouncement from Vryburg that 1000
Beers were holding the line, it can only
be inferred that the train was either de-
stroyed by artillery or blown up by dy-
mantle or some other powerful explosive
There is still faint hope that the dis
aster befell the train not While the WOm-
en- and children were on board on the
way to Vryburg. but while it was re-
turning to Mafeking from Fryburg with
a detachment of Col. BadenPowell'S
force sent to escort refugees to Nryburg,
where the Cape railway assumes respon-
sibility for their safety.
The war office, however. fears that the
worst has happened. Apart from this de-
struction of the armored train, the most
notable change in the position of affairs,
is the presence of Beers at Maribogo,
forty miles south of Mafeking. which
seems to indicate that they are endeayor
ing to get Col. Baden-Powell between
two fires.
The gravity of the Boer advance can
be better estimated when it is realized
that they will thereby cut railway and
telegraphic communication to the north.
isolating several British positions which
must be speedily relieved.
Despite the OptimisticS reports of the
ability Of Mafeking to repel attack. the
greatest anxiety prevails here, regarding
the situation there, as it is known that

probably Identical with the inroad of the

CECIL MODES AT KIMBERLEY.
Says Town is Fully Provisioned and
Secure Against Attack

Cape Town, Oct. 14.-In consequence
of reiterated reports that the Orange
Free State burghers contemplate an at
tack upon Maseru, the British headquar-
tiers in Basuloland, the resident commits
sloner has taken ample steps for defense.
There has been no serious movement
as yet on the part of Basulolos One or
two minor chiefs are inclined to side
with the Orange Free State. but the at
tltude of the others has caused the Free
State authorities to patrol the border ex-
tenslvely owing to fear of raids.
Cecil Rhodes will remain at Kimberley
until the end of the war. He says that
the town is fully prOvisioncd and as safe
as Picadilly.
Advices from Aliwal North represent
the burghers at Bseste NraaIe as diScOn-
tented and running short of provisions.

There are several Britons here who are
unable to leave owing to lack of funds,
and the Transvaal government is arrang-
ing to move them TO the Cape Colony Dor
der.
All reports from Volksrust agree that
the burghers there are unanimous in the
opinion that the settlement must be con-
elusive. They are not anxious to fight,
but they prefer fighting to giving their
assent to an unsatisfactory solution of
the crisis

FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Fired by "a Boer Patrol ON the Mail
Train from Natal.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The first act
of war was the Swarming of the Beers
across the border OF Natal and the occu-
patton of Laings Mex. The British field
force in Natal under White and Symons
remains on the defensive. The main
body of troops in Cape Colony is also
stationary, but strong force has moved
from Mafeking in Bechuanaland toward
the Transvaal border, taking guns and
ambulance equipment. This force con-
sists chiefly of rough riders and crack
fencd with the Northumberland fusileers
or the Fighting Fifth" regarded by
Kitchener as on the whole, his best regi-
ment. The cavalry is commanded by
Col Plumer. These two officers were
the best on the British side during the
Matahele rebellion.
This advance excites surprise and anx-
iety in military circles of London and is
not understood, because not In line with
the general defensive tactics which had
been expected during the earlier stage
of the British campaign. The ground
covered is also the track of the Inflated
Jameson rail- Gen. Cronje's force is
massed in that quarter. Whatever may
be the movements Of the next few days,
it is not believed at the war office that
either of the Transvaal commands oc-
cupyiLg Laings Mex or the Free State
forces entering Natal through Van Rec

vance against the British lines. The
utmost which is considered possible is

the lines of communication between Pie

burg is in danger from the Boer raiders.

HAS BROKEN NO LAW.
Much Married Utah Congre ssman
Says He Has No Fear of
Losing His Seat.

New York, Oct 13.-Congressman-e elect
Brigham Henry Roberts from Salt Lake
City, Utah, who is in Brooklyn, came
East over a week ago on private bust
ness. He viii remain about week
longer and then 90 to Philadelphia and
probably to Washington Speaking to
reporter he said that there was no in
dictment against him when he left Utah
that he knew of, nor did he know that
there was now an Indictment. He had
broken no law, he said. That he had a
plurality of wives was true, but he had
married them before the manifesto of
1890. There had been no plural mar
riages since then. nor would there be
any. Any infringement of the statute
would be disciplined by the church as
quickly as by the laws Of the land.
Mr. Roberts went on to say that his
visit to Brooklyn was merely friendly
one to the people Of his own religious
faith. Speaking of his election to Con
gress, he said it had been accompii shed
independent of the church, as he had re-
celved the greater number of votes from
gentiles and it had been an election of
the people. He had not fear about facing
Congress nor any misgivings regarding
the general outcome of the situation
