OVER THE GROUND.

Beers Are Destroying That which
They Can Not Carry.
Frere Camp. Natal, November 2s.--The
reconnaissance made today by General
Hildyard and Lord Dundonald's command.
the fact OF which has already been cabled,
gave an excellent opportunity for studying
the country. IT. approaching Colenso. the
British found on every side scenes Of de-
vastation that testified to the thorough
ness OF Boer footing. The Williams farm
and others had been rarsscksd from end
to end. In some cases the contents OF
every room OF the farm houses had been
destroyed. The Beers had evidently
burned what they could not carry off.
The poverty of the Boer commissariat was
testified to by the corn husks that were
to be seen scattered about the deserted
camp fires OF the enemy. The TX OF
armored train, still visible, showed that a
Boer shell had broken an axle, which had
obviously caused the accident to one car
that lay on its side. The other car was
upright. hut both were completely riddled
by the encIny's bullets and artillery Are.
Two graves near by bore the inscription,
ITO Fallen Soldiers" The main Boer
force is now gradually getting near
Chieyeiev station.

Cheyenne, Wyo., December 3.---A week
ago 800 miners employed in the mines of
the Diamondville Coal and Coke company,
at Diamondville, Wyo., struck for an in
crease in wagess Their demands were re-
fused by the company and after short
shut down, operations were resumed with
a small force OF non-union men. At an
early hour this morning 4 mob of 300
women and girls, armed with guns knives,
clubs and stones, marched on the mines
and compelled the operators to fee. The
miners at work were dragged from the
mines and also driven away. Several were
injured by being struck with clubs and
one man was shot at presumably by one of
a number of strikers concealed near The
mines. The small force OF deputies guard
ing the property of the company was
powerless. Tomorrow it is expected there
will be more trouble when the company
attempts to resume.
The miners have been importing arms
and ammunition.

HAVANA NEWS.
From Secretary Roofs Report, They
believe Independence Is Safe.


Havana December Sowing to the poor
attendance at the meetings of the Cuban
league and national party delegates great
difficulty is experienced getting business
done. Out OF a possible 100 members 1t
is not often that more than eighty or nine
ty are present, and 1t has been found
necessary to accept one-third OF the total
number as constituting quorum.
The other provinces are waiting to see
what the Havana delegates Will do and
the fact that at recent meeting 1t was
decided that the national assembly should
have provincial representation as q unit,
each province being equally represented.
caused many delegates to fear that owing
to the enormous inequality OF the provin-
cial population the national assembly will
not be accepted by President Mckinley as
fairly representing Cuban opinion.
The Patria, discussing the references to
Cuba In Secretary Roots report, pro-
nounces these very satisfactory" and says
that Independence is safe.
