Notwithstanding the fact that the insur-

FRIENDLY TO THE BRITISH.
The Basutos Are Anxious to Engage
In War With the Beers.

New York, Oct IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Friends of
the Beers hear with regret of the at
tempt TO induce the Basutos to attack
the British ENJOYS who went across the
Caledon river, requesting the Basutos
on the other sides to summon the chief,
Lerothodl, TO a conference. The BaSu-
tos refused even to take the message.
The belief in Basuto alliance is cir
culated in the Orange Free State This
is ridiculous. Within the last twenty
four hours Lerothodi has reiterated his
bitterness to the Beers. A serious en-
barrassment to the imperial govern
ment is the fear lest this powerful ma
tion of mounted warriors may attack
the Dutch. This partly accounts for the
enormous British armament now pre-
pairing.
A friend who accompanied Sir Alfred
Miner on a recent visit To Basutoland
was deeply impressed with the Basuto
strength and loyalty to Great Britain.
Ierothodi provided refreshments for Sir
Alfred Miner and his staff along the
route of their return journey. At GER
tain Dutch farm houses, although he
had paid for it, ne would not accom-
pany Sir Alfred Miner, or break bread
with the Dutchmen. The old wrongs

Constant appeals from the paramount
chief to the British resident to permit
him to raid the Free State are almost

Beers Reported to Have Made Seve-
raj Attacks On Mafeking.

London. Oct l4-According to dis
patches from the front the Beers have
made several attacks upon Mafeking.
all of which have been repulsed. In
connection with the rumored attack
upon Mafeking a disquieting report
comes from Pretoria. to the effect that
the Rustenburg and Marco comman-
does have crossed the border and en-
tered the Rooigrond territory between
Lichtenburg and Mafeking. blowing up
the bridge over the Maloppo river, and
destroying a train load of dynamite and
the track. As Mafeking depends upon
Rooeigrond for its water supply the
Significance of this move is, evident.
A dispatch from Pretoria dated Oct.
IA. says: General Koch wires from
the Natal border that his commando
has occupied BotOhas pass and also
captured the railway station"
The latest reports from Vryburg say
the armored train that was DESTROYED
at Kraaipin contained in addition to
Nesbitts force. a number of workmen
and six residents of MaTigogo, south of
Mafeking who on hearing of the Boer
advance took refuge in the train.

When General Butler, after being

Price Utah. Oct. H.-Judge Jacob john

which must know, as the Associated
Press knows by personal knowledge, the
real feelings of the anti-Boer party in
England, have made pitiful hypocrites
of themselves in printing Jeremiades

Thee only thing that surprises an i'm
partial observer is that the Transvaal
president did not adopt this course be-
fore English reinforcements arrived.
The only explanation of his failure to
do so lies in the report that he over
estimated the strength of the British
peace party.
Believes Beers Will Submit.
Once General Butler gets to work, it
is believed here, the Beers will offer
little organized resistance. Something
depends, of course, upon the success
they may achieve in the interim; but
the life insurance companies are only
asking an extra premium of 3 pence
as war risks in other words placing
the odds at 20 to /. This does not ap-
ply to South Africa frregulars, fighting
side by side with the regulars, but it
is said the Beers will show them no
quarter. This 1t is hard to believe,
when it is recalled with what unusual
humanity the Beers treated the English
prisoners during the previous war.
Speaking OF the war of 1851, it should
be remembered that General Colley's
entire force amounted to less than TO-
900 men, while the Beers had nearly
II, 900. General Sir George Stewart
White, the British commander in Ma
tai is not likely To fall into General
Co1Iey's mistake Of a premature adj
vance. In fact it IS rather presumed
that General White. knowing the tre-
mendous extent of the reinforcements
on the way. win consistently remain
strictly on the defensive rather than
risk a doubtful engag cement.
To Employ Strategy.
All sorts of surmises are current re-
garding the detailed strategy likely to
be employed. One authority says the
hostility of the Orange Free State con-
fers an immense advantage upon the
British forces, as 1t will enable Sir Red
vers Butler to go direct through that
country into the Transvaal.
