LONDON. Oct. 1s, 1Ss9.--The Evening
News, publishes the following despatch
from Cape Town
San armored train has been destroyed
south of Mafeking. Fifteen British troops
were killed. The Beers shelled the wreck
age after the train was derailed.
An official despatch received at the
Colonial Office says
"The armored train was destroyed near
Kraipan Station, while on the way to
Mafeking with guns
This. it is thought, disposes of the fear
that many women and children were in
volved in the disaster.
The announcement that the Beers had
destroyed an armored train on the west
ern border of the Transvaal Is calcu-
lated to bring home to the man in the
street" the realities of war Attempts
aren ade to lilken the occurrence to the
blowing up of the United States battle-
ship Maine in Havana harbor. but that
event occurred in times of peace. The
Beers weredoubtless within their rights
as belligrerents if they are responsible for
the destruction of the train. The only
comparison that can be instituted with
the blowing up of the battleship is In
respect to the loss of life. if. as is fear,
the train in question was one that had
left Mafeking with three hundred women
and children.
Taken in conjunction with the earlier
announcement from vryburg that two
thousand Beers were holding the line. it
can only be inferred that the train was
either destroyed by artillery or blown up
by dynamite or some other powerful ex-
plosive.
There is still a faint hope that the dis
aster befell the train not while the wom-
en- and children we're on board on the
way to Vryburg, but while it was return-
ing to Mafeking from Vryburg with e
detachment of Colonel Baden-PoWeii ;
force sent to escort refugees to Vryburg,
where the Cape Railway assumes respon-
sibility for their safety.
The War Office, however, fears that the
worst has happened.
Apart from this destruction of the ar
mored train the most notable change In
the position of affairs is the presence OF

had not zone far when several large
deer rushed past a jGtting point of the
rocks and bounded over the plain, 300
yards distant. In an instant the eagle
was unhooded and his shackles re-
moved. when he sprang from the perch
and scared into the air. ! watched him
ascend and was under the impression
that he had not seen the animals. but
was mistaken. He rose to q great
height. and then poised for a full min

his wings and swooped in a straight
line toward his prey. gave my horse
his head, and in a few minutes he car
ried me to the front. When we were
within a hundred yards, the eagle
struck his prey, with one talon in its
neck. the other in its back. while his
leak was tearing the dee-'s head. The
animal fell as Il shot. ano IA quickly
dispatched by the eagle keeper.
