News From Natal Becoming Dis
nuieting to the British.


London, Nov 23.-The early morning
news from Natal is disquieting to the
British. since il indicates that the Beers
join to their surprising numerical
strength a mobility that is bound to
give Gen. Cleary's relieving forces trou-
BILE. Six thousand Beers are now
swarming in the Mooi district, looting
the farms and attracting to their ranks
the disaffected Natal Dutch.
The Beers main force in a single day
have accomplished a march of thirty
five miles, from Ulundi, southwest oil
Estcourt, to a point near Nottingham.
They are now not more than thirty
miles northwest of Pietermaritzburg
and no doubt is entertained there that
they mean to make another quick
march and attack the capital.
London yesterday, in the absence OF
actual news from the seat of war, had
to content itself with making deduc-
tions from what is at hand. Among the
chief facts developed within the last
forty eight hours are the re-occupation
of Naaupoort by the British and the
isolation of Estcourt by the Beers. BY
the cutting of the telegraph in the
neighborhood of the Mooi river COM
munication with Pietermaritzburg and
Durham is severed and it is also likely
that the Beers have destroyed portion
of the railway line. Moreover, they
have moved up their artillery beyond
Estcourt and opened fire from the north
on Mooi river camp.
The advance on Naaupoort indicates
that preparations are actively making
for crossing the Orange river and the
invasion of Orange Free State. Now
| that Naaupoort is strongly held, we
shall probably soon hear of reconnois-
sances on Colesburg and Norvaalspont.
By thus getting control of the cape rail-
way system the British will prepare to
drive the Beers along the diverging
| lines from Burghersdorp to Bethule and
Aliwal North.
| Naauwpoort expected an attack yes
terday, but the consequences were not
feared. The natural position is strong
one, like blunted crescent, bisected by
the railroad. The position runs east and
west across an open valley, defended
by redoubts connected by shelter
trenches.
Gen. Methuen's division left Orange
river and reached Chief Witteputs
half way to Belmont, yesterday. and
advices from the Orange river show
that the Beers occupy Belmont in force
and that the neighboring hills are
crowned With Boer cannon.
! A patrol OF lancers which has re.
turned to the Orange river came unex.
pectedly on two Boer laagers. Three
tshrapnel shells burst close % ~
