Enemy Made a Det0ur.

New York. Nov. 1S.--A special to the
Herald from London says: This dis
patch from it's special correspondent is
published by the Daily Mail: "Estcoult,
Nov 14-The Beers must have made a
detour last night as this morning a COM
mando was reported to be within six
miles of the village to the north and east.
The alarm was given and troops moved
out and took positions fronting the Boer
advance. The enemy We're seen moving
about, but made no attempt to leave the

There Is Much Criticism.

London, Nov. 1S.-Much criticism has
proper reconnaissance by cavalry in con-
nection With the armored train disaster
near Estcourt. This fact, it is claimed,
goes to prove that reinforcements, espe-
cially of cavalry, although landed at
Durham, have not yet arrived at Est
court No official or reliable accounts
have been received in London of the
troops movements from Durham, and
therefore it is believed the transports
difficulties may b. greater than is genor-
ally imagined, in which case tho relief
of Ladysmith may be delayed. Censor
ship in such matters is strict.
Changes necessary in Bullers plans
are further shown by the fact that Major
General Sir Cornelius Cleary, VINO was
originally designated to command divi-
sion to operate on the Orange river with
it's base at Port Elizabeth is now sent to
E,stcourt to take over from General Hill
yard the command of the relieving forl e.
Cleary has no military reputation, and
when he arrives at LadySmith he will
be Junior to General White
Two reasons are suggested for En-
peror Williams action in cutting short
his visit to England and failing to come
to London. 1t is understood he thinks
too much has been made of the visit as
proof of Germanys attitude toward the
Transvaal, and he desires as much as
possible to preserve his freedom of ac-
ton. Then critical matters are coming
up in the reichstag for decision. the
naval bill, Samoan agreement, etc, in
which his presence will be useful in in
fluencing centrists and opposition in
favor of his plans

REPORTS FROM OTIS.

Washington, Nov. 1S.--Two dispatches
We're received at the war department
from General Otis giving details of the
advance of Lawton and Macarthur. The
first dispatch follows:
Manila, Nov. 1S.--MacArthur enter
ed Gcronaya and pushed his advance to
Paniqui, few miles beyond. The in
habitaTlts remained in their houses, re-
ceiving the troops Hospitality, the first
instance during the entire advance from
San Fernando. The ia 'lroads Is intact
from the WasnOut north of Tariac to
Paniqui. but the engines and cars We're
partially destroyed Dy. Insurgents on
retreating. Sufficient rolling stock can
be repaired to insure railroad service
Nothing from Lawton as the telegraph
line is only working to San Jose, south
of Carranglan, and 80 miles east OF lay
ug. His cavalry was reported yesterday

of Dagupan. reinforcement ana sup
plies leave here for San Fabian. Whea-
IONS headquarters, Tonight lnd!ca-
tons are that the insurgents will scat
ter, some retreating into western LuZon,
province of Sambeles.'
Under date of to-day Otis again tele-
graphed, having received adviceS from
Lawton. Otis says:
"A dispatch from Lawton dated on the
road between San Nicholas and San
Manuel, 1915, eighteenth inst, transmits
dispatches from General Young ana Ma

The British Losses.

New Yo:E Nov. 1S-A Gispatch to tho
Herald from London says: The Daily
Telegraph prints these adVices from its
special correspondent: Estcourt, Nov. Is.
"A few Beers are laagercd near Frere
A few others have been seen moving east.

try to recover our wounded. Yesterdays

there was no sound of cannon.

reached EStcOurt. The garrison there
was weak in artillery, unless the naval
brigade had brought up its guns from
the ships and on this account it might
not be prepared for attack from the Boer
guns. Three batteries of field artillery
were disembarked from the Armenian at
Durham yesterday, but time would be re-
quired for carrying up the country and
getting the horses into condition after
their long voyage.
Cool military experts to whom I have
been speaking contended that everything
could not be done in a day, that the men
and stores must be taken off the ships,
that arrangements must be made for
feeding the troops and animals, and Pie
termaritzburg was 20 miles inland
The war Office yesterday issued General
Buffers account of the armored train
ambuscade confirming press dispatches,
minimizing the affair. but admitting that
100 men were missing. Comment upon
this episode in the clubs was bitter, al
though everyone had good word for
the gallantry of Lieutenant Winston
Churchill.
The only cavalry reserves at Capetown
are the Aldershot company of mounted
infantry with a machine gun section and
force of 600 Lancers arriving yesterday.
The admiralty has something to answer
for iQ sending cavalry and field artillery
on slow ships, but scant provision has
been made by the military staff for secur-
ing good scouting against an exceedingly
mobile enemy consisting mainly Of
mounted infantry.
The tone Of the war Office authorities
remains confident and it is estimated that
General Butler knows what is going on in
Ladysmith from day to day. Meanwhile
there are rumors from Boer sources re-
specting the continuance Of the lombard
ment from the hills and investment Of the
town within a narrow range of fire. Pub
lie anxiety is increasing with lack of
authentic news from Ladysmith, but
there is a hopeful feeling respecting the
western border. Colonel Baden-POwell is
considered more than a match for the
Beers in craft and, indeed, is the only
commander on the British side who can
fight them in their own way. There are
also signs that the column for the relief
of Kimberley is we'll on it's way and
within SO miles of the town. General
Butler with $4,000 fresh troops at Cape
town has made ample resources for a de-
cisive attempt to raise the siege Of Kim
bsrley
The Times and Mail publish graphic &C
counts Of the battle at Eandslaagte, re-
ceived by letter from war correspondents
at the front. The Times correspondent
also gives a stirring description of the
storming of Talamana hill and mentions
that General SymonS fell fatally wounded
when gallOping along the lines to tell the
troops that the hill must be taken. He
describes the storming Of the hill as one
Of the grandest spectacles of the British
army.

NV York, Nov. 1s.--A dispatch to the.
ginning to drbble in with details sufi-
cient to form an outline of what has hap
pened at Ladysmith since the recon-
mencement of the bombardment on Nov.
Z. Severe engagements appear to have
taken place on the 9th, 10th and 14th
Lastly early in the morning of the 10th
heavy firing was heard in Estcourt from
the direction of Ladysmith. A Times dis
datch states that the town is being she'll
ed night and day and hard pressed, the
Beers doubtless straining every nerve to
crush the defense and either force Gem
eral White to surrender or abandon his
stores and baggage and make desperate
effort to cut his way through their lines
The relieving column is Slowly being
formed at Pietermaritzburg where Cen
eral Hldyard appears to be the senior
officer. The greater part of the first divi-
sion is now in Natal.
The Beers have quickly followed up
their success in entrapping 100 Dublin

Lorenzo Marquee, Nov. 1S.-Belated
dispatches from the correspondent with
the Beers near Ladysmith UP to Tues
day, November IA, are arriving here after
being strictly censored at Pretoria. They
throw some light on the fighting already
reported from other sources. They say
that on Friday, November 10, eight lyd-
dite shells We're fired into the Transvaal
central artillery position without doing
any harm. The wooden platform Of the
second big gun on Buluwana hill was
damaged. but has since been repaired.
Commandant Weilbach captured a
man who reported that General White
was wounded and had gone to Pieter-
maritzburg, leaving General French in
command. This. however, does not tally
with the Transvaal's information. The
prisoner also reported that British forces
were hiding in underground chambers in
order to avoid the shells, and said there
were about ! 900 wounded in the hos
pitfalls.
General Joubert had been indisposed,
but is better.
On November 13 the British fortfica-
tions on the north side of Ladysmith
opened on the nearest Boer battery and
shells fell so thickly that the Beers We're
compelled to lie flat and sheltered. Later
they opened fire on the British batteries,
which ceased firing.
Heavy fighting occurred between the
Orange Free State troops and the Brit
ish south of Ladysmith during the morn
ing of Tuesday, November a. The re-
suit is not known. From Lombars kop
the British batteries were visible shell
ing the Free Staters position. A Trans
yaal big gun shelled the British bat
