 Johannesburg.
 London, Oct 1--From all points in the Transvaal, Natal and Cape Colony come reports of continued military ac- tivity on the frontiers, and while the movement of individual commands do not as yet show concerted plans, it is evident that the narrow, wedge-like strip of Natal, whose apex is crowned with the enormous mountain of Majuba Hill, will be the center of the coming storm. Late yesterday the Boers estab- lshed a camp at Scheeper's Nek, near Vryheid, and they will mobilize great force on the Buffalo river tomorrow, which the authorities at Dundee expect will move across the border to that spot, probably at once. It is believed that a conflict at this point will certainly occur early in the week.
 At the same time the Boers are col lecting a force of 2,000 men, under tte forces of Commandant Cronje, in the Mulmani gold fields near Mafeking, where Colonel BadenPowell is station- ed. Dispatches from Tuli, Rhodesia, announce that another force of burghers are massed at Petersburg, fifty miles south, and that outlying parties are posted at all the drifts along the Linn popo river. In the meantime Colonel Pummer's column is moving fifty miles nearer the Transvaal frontier and has established telephone connections to within six miles of Rhodes Drift on the Limpopo.
 Enthusiastic scenes at all the railway stations in Natal have marked the ad vance of Natal volunteers. Dispatches from Mafeking announce that Con- mandant Cronje, commander of the Transvaal border police, crossed the border and visited Chief Baralonga. ap- parently with the object of melting him to fight The British civil commission CT ordered the chief to stay and protect the women and children, telling him that he would not be allowed to fignt.
 The Boers openly threaten to raid Vryburg, in British Bechuanaland as soon as hostilites open, and the Kim berley Advertiser complains of the apa- thy of the Cape ministry in not taking steps to prevent this. The Transvaal field comets are taking the names of colonial Boers who are willing to cross the border in the event of war.
 It is evident tonight that Buffalo riv- CT, the northeastern boundary of Natal, is to be the Potomac of the war. In view of it's strategic value General Joshua Joubert has taken personal com- mand of the Boer forces there, estab- ~lishing-a strong line of pickets along the river, and has ordered the natives to drive in all the stock. The burghers in the vicinity have been requestioned with the result that some 2,000 have mobiliz- ed at Wakkerstroonl, the chief point of mobilization there

Hanna Says Mention of AdmtraPs Nam e
 is Indecent.


 Pittsburg, Oct 1.-The Post to-mor- row will say: United States Senator Mark Hanna says this of the possibility of Admiral Dewey for the presidency: '"rhe practice of continually placing the name of Admiral Dewey on the list of prospective presidential candidates is indecent, It is an insult and great injustice to the hero of Manila bay himself, as he has frequently said that nothing in the world would induce him to run for president or any other politi- cal office. To force upon this brave and gallant sailor the necessity of again and again declaring he will not accept any political office is, in my opinion. con- temptible, and places this man of in- tegrity, stern purpose and determina- ton in the ranks of those shifting as- pirants for presidential honors who have not the stamina to resist fattery or blandshments of political schem- CTS"

Middletown, Oct. 1.-The agitation that has waged at Wesleyan university relative to co-education apparently has had effect, as this years freshman class contains but seven women, whereas was the largest in the history of the college In view of the prevailing agi- tation it goes without saying that this decrease of women students is very gratifying to the students.

OTIS REPORTS ADVANCES

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-General Otis
to-day cabled the War Department as
follows:

"IlOilo reports that seven companies OF

several thousand rounds of ammunition

The dispatch from General Otis does not
yet make II appear that the efforts to
capture Aguinaldo and the larger portion
OF his army viii be successful. The in
tention OF General Young to prevent
Aguinaldo reaching Bayombong seems ev-
ident, but this seems scarcely probable
now. Some errors have been made In the
transmission OF the dispatch. The town
given as Tarlann is probably Tarlac. as
