at LadySmlth.
London, Oct SO.-The Daily Mail pub
fishes the following dispatch from Pie
teImaritzburg, dated Sunday: Patrols
from Ladysmith report that there are
four large Boer camps within radius
of ten miles, extending in a semi-circle
northeast of the town. Evidently the
enemy is concentrating all his forces.
Commandant General Joubert is in
supreme command. One Boer laager
has a Red Cross tent carefully posted
in conspicuous place.
The British had several skirmishes
with the enemy today. Railway COM
munication with Ladysmith is still in
tact. At Colendo a couple of Basutos
were arrested for putting boulders on
the railway They confessed they had
done this by order of the Transvaal
authorities.
"A war balloon, very small and so
light that two men can hold and haul it
down with a wire strand and which can
ascend 5000 feet is now in use, and the
full position Of the Boer guns has been
ascertained.
The heavy and incessant rains have
flooded Fugela river. which will prove
an. eGectual barrier to any Beers pro-
ceeding southwark. The remaining
bridges are strongly guarded.

LAST TRICK Of A MAGICIAN
WAS FATALLY INJURED WHILE
GIVING A PERFORMANCE.
Bullet That He. Was Supposed to
Catch In His Teeth Passed
Through. His Body.

New York Oct. 29.-Michael Hatal, a
magician, died in Bellevue today from
bullet wounds inflicted by Frank Ben
va, in an east side hall last night, While
they were performing a feat of magic
in which Hatal was to have seemingly
caught in his teeth bullets fred at him
from a gun by Benya.
Hatal himself loaded the gun, an old
fashioned musket fired by a percussion
cap. On top of the charge of powder
supposedly was placed a dummy" bull
let that would crumble into powder
when the musket was fired. Instead he
must have substituted two lead bullets
of SO calibre.
The Bellevue physicians report that
one bullet went through the left lung,
and the second juss above and to the
left side of the heart. Both passed en-
tirely through the body. Hatal must
therefore have used at least four times
the usual amount of powder.
Before giving the exhibition Hatal
asked fer some one in the audience who
had been soldier to fire the musket.
Benya responded. AS soon as Hatal
had taken his place he called to Benya
in a loud voice aim right at my heart.
Do not be afraid"
Benya fired and Hatal threw his
hands in the air and fell groaning to thu
floor. Before dying he made a state
ment generating Benya.

CUBANS ARE IMPROVING.
General Lee Gives Good Report Of
the People of the Island.

Washington, Oct 29.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, Who arrived in Washington
last night from New York, said in an
interview today that the people of Cuba
are steadily improving under the exist
ing protectorate of the United States
and are slowly but surely rebuilding
their war-wasted homes and repairing
their crippled fortunes. Life and prop
erty. are secure in Cuba, owing largely,
he said, to the saiutary restrainst exer-
cised by American military authority.
He thinks the time not ripe yet, how
ever. for a purely Cuban government.
The G!ubans. . said General Lee, ARE
tractabla and quiet and the revolution
has givan them self-respect and self
reliance Their impulses are generally
in the right direction, but of course,
both in the theory and practice of self
government they are wholly without
experience. The United States govern
ment is pledged to grant independence
to Cuba after the island has been paci-
fed, and believe that the promise
should be fulfilled just as swiftly as We
can in reason and Justice

FIGHTING NEAR DUNDEE.
Boer Losses Last Friday Estimated
at 500 Killed and Wounded.

Cape Town, Oct. 29.-The following
official data are made public regarding
the fighting near Dundee:
THE Boer losses during Fridays en-
gagement at Talani Hill are estimated
at 800 in killed and wounded.
Yesterday the divisional staff was
reconstructed. The country was clear
of the enemy eastward, but as big
forces were reported closing in on Dun
dee from the north and west, it was
considered advisable to move the Brit
ish forces across the railway to a new
position south of the camp. During the
-afternoon the infantry moved out and
began entrenching in a new position.
All available transportation was util-
lied to carry soldiers.
AT 4 O'Clock in the afternoon the
enemy opened fire on the entrench-
ments and camp from the shoulder of
Impati mountain with two six-inch
guns, getting a fairly accurate aim
over a range of 700 yards. The soft
ground rendered the percussion fuses
useless. In spite of the falling shells
the wagons were loaded with stores.
Lieutenant Hanna and an artillery
j sergeant were killed.
During the night of Oct % d fresh
position was occupied, about 1900 yards
from the enemys Guns. News was re-
ceived at o'clock Monday morning of
the victory at Elandslaagte, and a
division was moved toward Glencoe
Junction for the purpose of cutting off
the retreating enemy, should they use
Glencoe pass. Two fugitives were cap
tured.
We moved our guns down the ridge
to the west of Impati mountain and our
artillery exchanged shots with the en-
envy. who brough siX-inch guns to bear
on the troops. Rain and mist coming
on. it was deemed advisable to con-
centrate on the positions occupied that
morning The movement was completed
at N, the British troops having
marched ten miles.
THE column was en- route for Lady
smith at II o'clock that night. passing
through Dundee into the Helpmakaar
road without attracting the attention
of the Beers. Major Wickham of the
Indian commissariat service Joined the
column, with fifty-three wagons from
the old camp. Moving eastward through
Blesbok pass. Beth was reached and
here the column rested, after which the
night march was resumed and Wasch-
bank river reached the following morn
