London, Oct. 5.-Alleged Boer ad-
vices coincide curiously with simultan-
eous kilograms from various quarters
regarding Boer ultimatum and ex-
piration of the time limit last night. A
distinctly serious and ugly statement
comes from New Castle to the effect
that armed Kaffirs accompany Boer
commanders. This would be an absolute
breach of conditions supposed to gov
ern warfare among civilized nations,
and, If true. presages scenes worse than
even the gloomiest forecasts. From
New Castle advices it appears the pre-
mier of Natal has telegraphed the mil
itary authorities that they can render
New Castle no assistance, adding that
if the Beers intend to attack the town
resistance will be futile and that
women and children should be sent
away and the town surrendered. An
unconfirmed report says martial law
has been proclaimed in the Transvaal.
