maritzburg. Unless the Beers heavy
artillery justifies itself by reducing
Ladysmith, it will again hamper him
in the eventual retreat from Natal,
when General Butler sends the reliev-
ing force.
1t is believed that the Boer retreat
will be made over the Drakensburg
range into the Zoutpansberg district.
where preparation for provisioning and
maintaining the Beers is said to nave
been made for the last stand, and where
It will be difficult to dislodge them.
Already it is rumored that they are
in straits for food around Ladysmith
and may. therefore, be obliged to aban-
don the siege.
Dispatches from Estcourt say it has
been ascertained that the British have
laid concrete beds for firing the lyddite
naval guns, showing that there is no
foundation for the fear that the lyddite
ammunition at Ladysmith has been
exhausted. 1t is also reported from the
same quarter that some fires have been
seen in Ladysmith, indicating that the
Boer bombardment has been to some
extent effective.
A special dispatch from Cape Town
confirms the earlier report that it was
General Butler who ordered the British
evacuation of Stormberg and Naauw-
poort, as he considered the frontier line
TOO weak and too much extended. 1t
is understood, however, that Naauw-
poort will be occupied again as soon as
the advance from Queenstown is or
dered.
Strong bids are being made by the
Beers for the support of the Cape
Dutch, but without much success, al
though ii is believed that the Dutch
farmers, especially in Picquetberg dis
trict, are armed with Mausers, and are
watching the course of events before
joining the Beers. From Stormberg it
is reported that the Free State forces
are working slowly toward Dordrecht,
with a view of attacking Queenstown
and cutting off the towns in the north
ern districts of Cape Colony.
The wounded are recovering in re-
markable manner. The Mauser mounds
are small and heal rapidly. Many of
the wounded apply for permission to
return to the front.

MUST HAVE ADJUSTMENTS.
Cubans Object to Criticisms of Their
Sunday Racing.

Havana, Nov. 12.-Local newspapers
object to the criticism made by some
American journals upon Sunday racing
in Havana They point out that, after
mass on Sunday, all Latin countries
take holiday and assert that, if the
Americans wish the Cubans to popular
ize some sport as a substitute for bull
fighting, Sundays must be devoted to
it, because Saints days are kept strict
ly for religious observations and at
other times there is no great number
of Cubans wealthy enough to forsake
business for the sake of amusement.
The Patria proposes that ten of the
leading municipalities should each give
General Gomez $50 a month as his
health is poor ard he is in need of
funds. The Cuban newspapers are urged
TO support the proposal, which, it is
stated, is small return. indeed, for the
services of the liberator of Cuba

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Dearer Money Is Responsible For a

London. Nov. 12.-The stock exchange,
although gratified at the tone of Lord
Salisbury's speech at the lord mayor s
banquet, remained too apprehensive OF
dearer money in the near future to do
otherwise last week than to adopt a
waiting attitude. Although consols were
fractionaily lower on the week, prices in
the main were well sustained. thanks to
a fair amount of investment orders, but
speculative business was on the smallest
scale.
AS the result of the Americans elections

there was no strengthening in American

A SCOFFER.
The Christian Scientist Found Her
Patient Had No Faith.

New Orleans Times-Democrat)
81 witnessed a decidedly picturesque
incident coming in from Chattanooga
yesterday" said guest at one of the
hotels last night There were four of
us at the end of the cara business
man from Houston, two women from
Wilmington. Del, and myself, all mid
die aged, serious people. and naturally
we drifted into conversation. Before
Icing one of the women, who was d
stout, matronly person. informed us
that she was Christian Science dem
onstrator,' and, needless to say, that
started an interesting discussion She
gave us the usual nebulous 'explana-
ton of the cult. which no outsider has
ever been able to understand. and then
proceeded to describe number of mi
raculous cures she claimed to have eff
fected.
1.-THE Houston man had said very lit
tie but finally he remarked that he
had been suffering for several years
from a stiffness of the right ankle. You
mean you think You have been suffer
ing, said the Christian Scientist. There
is really nothing the matter with your
ankle; in fact, it does not exist, except
in your mind Well. it seems very
real said the Houston man, and gives
me a great deal of trouble. Do you
think you could do it any good?' The
Wilmington woman smiled ina plying
sort of way and replied that she could
undoubtedly effect cure. Itmay take
some time to cleanse your mind of the
delusion,' she said, and we can't begin
too soon. Suppose I give you a treat
ment right now? BY all means mad

Scientist closed her eyes and appar-
emily took a short nap. The rest of us
waited i'm solemn silence. In about ten
minutes she shook herself and smiled
blandly. Well, sir she said, you feel
good deal better now. The stiffness
in your ankle is going away; going
away: going away rapidly I'm sorry
to contradict you, interrupted the
Houston man. but it's just as bad as
ever. If you'll listen you can hear it

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 12.-The Dis
patch tomorrow will say: The first
real entry of Pittsburg into the con-
struction of large steel vessels on the
latest approved and most modern lines
is about to be undertaken, and with
the taking of this step comes the mi
tial move by the Carnegie Steel com.
pany to combat the partly successful
gobble by the Rockefeller interests of
all the available lake tonnage. This is
what was meant by the incorporation
last Friday of the Pittsburg Steamship
company at Charleston, W. Va, as was
learned yesterday.
Mr.. H. w, Oliver says: The new
company represents the Carnegie Oil
Yer interests, and it's purpose is to es-
tablish a shipyard at the lakes. 1t is
the intention to build ore carriers for
this interest. This is all that can be
definitely stated at this time. as the

which, except for the loss of Colonel
Keith aleoner. was not very serious
affair.
There are signs of greatly increased
Boer activity in Natal, and along the
western frontier. All the dispatches
tend to show that the British are hold
ing out ably. Colonel -Baden-Powell
reports that all was well at Mafeking

is Nov. 4.
While nothing adverse is heard from
the latter point, and confidence is felt

the former mobility of the Boer forces,
has also failed to give them any COM

case. IT is held here that if the Beers

All Will Probably Recover.

Denison, IA, Nov. 12.-Twenty-five of
the men injured in the wreck on the
Omaha & Fort Dodge road Saturday
are being cared for. Though several of
the men are very badly hurt. it is
thought all will recover. Considering
the large number on the wrecked train,
$50, it is miracle that there were not
more casualties. The promptness and
efficiency of the relief measures taken
by the railroad company doubtless
saved several lives. a wrecking party
found that there was not enough left
OF the two trains to be worth saving.

England Paying Dearly.
England is fighting not for greater
privileges for the Outlanders. but for
suzerainty. and she is paying a big
price for it. Soon the hot season will
be on and the English soldiers will die
off quicker than if hit by Boer bullets.
If the 100000 Cape Colonists flock to the
Beers the railroads would be torn up
and the English forces could not be

Colonel Plumer is reported to have

Secretary Dick said there would be at
