REPORT THAT LADYSMITHl IS IN
VESTED
PARIS, Nov 2.-The Havas Agency
this evening publishes the following ex-
traordinary dispatch, which the agency
says was received through it's cores
pondent at Brussels:
Cape Town, Nov. 2.-The news of
the Beers two victories around Lady
smith has created considerable excite
ment among the Afft14nders, who do
not conceal their joy. Sir Alfred Mil
ner, the British High Commissioner, is
perturbed at their attitude. General
White, in these two engagements lost
about $500 men killed, wounded and
prisoners. The second victory was won
by the Free Staters, commanded by
Lucas Meyer, who seized Colenso, thus
cutting off the retreat of General
White, who is wounded. The invest
ment of Ladysmith is complete, and
the Beers are masters of Pietermartz-
burg and the Durham railway. News
has reached General White that Ma
feking is closely besieged, and that the
Beers have successfully repulsed the
sorties. The surrender Of Mafeking is
expected.
1T is also confirmed that the Free
Staters have seized Colesburg."
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Secretary of
the War Office. who was shown the
Cape Town dispatch of the Havas
Agency, said the statements made were
utterly baSeleSs. Brussels, where the
Havas originated, is the headquarters
of DR.. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of
the Transvaal, and it thought the Cape
Town dispatch may be an exaggerated
Boer version of the recent fighting.

from Kimberly and reports that there
are 5000 Beers around Kimberly, and
all the roads are strictly patrolled He
says he passed close enough to Kimber-
ly to see the searchlights, and was in
formed that the defenders of Kimberly
were satisfied they could hold out, but
were wearied with the inactivity, and
hoped that a force would soon arrive.
Stories of Boer victories have spread
rapidly along the western border. and
Magistrate Harmsworth estimates that
over half the Dutch residents of Rech-
uanaland and Griqualand will join the
Beers after the declaration of annexa-
tion.
