news comes from the Transvaal to-
night, which, if true, probably
indicates that the South African.
republic is sbout to yield, or, i'll any
case, that the Beers have abandoned
ali idea of invading Natal
The news is comprised in a cable
gram from New Castle, Natal, which
says that farmers VINO arrived today
from the Buffalo river state that the
Beers are returning to their homes,
leaving patrols along the river The
commanders still remain on the Free
State border
The dispatch also says that the
feeling at New Castle now is that the
Beers do not intend TO attack that
place, and tnat the evacuation of the
town was premature
A dispatch from Durham also says
that the excitement there has abased,
the Beers holding back from the
frontier. The retirement of the Beers
is what the British war authorizes
have expected, as their defective
commissariat would prevent them
from long remaining massed along
the border.
Telegrams received here recently
have made frequent reference to the
scarcity of forage and supplies in the
Boer laagers, and have stated that
many of those in the camps were
inclined to strike ont for their homes
unless active operations were under
taken Immediately. The dispatch
from New Castle looks as though
they had done as they threatened
and had abandoned the idea Of fight
ing
Meanwhile further transports from
India, with two field hospitals and
Hussars have arrived at Durham and
the men and material were forwarded
to Ladysmith instantly

1.-The reports of the bsrbaric excesses
committed by the Beers on refugees
have caused thrill of horror here.
In one instance 70 women and
children were packed in a cattle
truck SO tightly that they were IN
able to sit and were thus kept side
