Joubcrt Plans More Daring Movement
Than sherman's March to Sea.
NEW YORK, Nov. GA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: With
the war Office reduced TO zhe extremity
of holding back Important Information
and announcing from house to house
that there is no news, and with the war
correspondents, in the phrase applied
by Grant to Butler, "bottled up" and
tightly corked, South Africa remained
until midnight darkest Africa !
There were splinters of belated news
regarding Thursdays artillery duel at
Ladysmith, in which Boer 40-pounder
was wrecked, and also suspiciously
brief account of brilliant sortie by
which Boer camp was surprised at
Besters hill.
Later came a message by pigeon

showing the town holding out on Fri,
day and hard fighting going on. There
was also a brief reference to a Boer
attack upon Colenso, tn. sequence OF
which had already come in the tidings
from the colonial Office that the Brit
ish garrison had fallen back and aban-
doned the defense of the bridge over
the Tugela.
General Joubert's object was appar-
emily secured in breaking communities
tion with the coast and preventing the.
movement OF reinforcements to Lady
smith, but some military men predicted
that he would set large force in
motion for Pietermaritzburg an6 Dur
ban and complete the conquest of
Natal before the arrival of the British
army. corps.
This would be a bolder and MOI Q
reckless movement than Sherman's
march to Savannah, since the British
fleet commands the seacoast. The
more probable theory is that Joubert
has closed in upon Ladysmith, after
driving the English out of Coienso,
and is making strenuous efforts to
overwhelm Whites army with his
superior force.
A rumor of q general uprising of
Basutos against the Orange Free State

riors, which is capable not only of
placing the Free State on the defensive,
but also of rousing Swasis, Kaffirs,
Zulus and other black races and setting
all South Africa afiame as far as the
Zambesi river. This black menace
adds new terror to the darkness row
brooding over the camps and garris ons
of the two warning white races.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-An immense
weight has been lifted from the public
mind by brief official dispatch pub.
lished this morning, by which the con-
uinental stories of disaster at Lady
smith are proven to be false. From
the fact that General White is able to
take the offensive and she'll the Boer
camp, it seems that Ladysmith Is not
so closely besieged as was supposed.
The movement of the Beers in Cape
Colony is beginning to awaken the
British fears that they have greatly

have to meet, and that Buller's task
ray not be so easy as anticipated.

H1LLsBoRo, Or. Nov. 6.-The county
board of equalization, which was in
session all of last week, completed its
part of the work of equalizing Saturday
evening, but the county board OF COM
missioners, which will meet next
Wednesday, will continue the work.
1t is estimated that about $50, 900
have been added to the assessment roll
on money, notes and accounts, which
will make an increase of about $1,000
in the taxes. Among those whose
assessments were raised were a number
of moneyed men who had heretofore
escaped the payment of taxes on their
notes and accounts.

General Miles arrived here yesterday
on tour ofinspection OF the triangular

that the government contemplated

THE RUM0R NOT
CONFIRMED
No i. Notification That
White is Surrounded.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-While there is 3
habit here to assume that the news of
Boer victories emanating from the
continent cannot be true because OF
the censorship, the fact Is forgotten
that foreign governments are fully
privileged to send and. receive cipher
messages to and from their representa-
tives in South Africa.
While the wires to Ladysmith are
cut, the optiism of the war officials to
even believe that Ladysmith was com
pletely invested or Colenso.captured,
appears to be justified. as this morning
it was asserted that the railroad is
still open, though traffic haa been
conducted with the greatest caution.
What, however, was only rumqred
yesterday evening, it is claimed may
be reality at any moment, as Gem
eral Jouber with his large and wonder
fully noble force, is expected to de.
tach force of several thousand men
and make g. dash at the railroad.
Rumors Of all kinds are turning up
here. 1t is eYen'asserted that Gen.
eral White has been compelled to fall
back on Pietermaritzburg, leaving his
wounded behind.
Probably snch rumors have their
origin in recollection Of Tho luminous
silence which preceded the evacuation
of Dundee. But, on. the other hand.
it is asserted the conditions are alter
ed and the British guns seem more
than equal to bhe artillery OF the Beers
thus enhancing the difficulty of'any
assault on the British lines.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The war Office
this afternoon, replying to Inquiries,
said that no information had been rel
ceived there of fresh Boer movements
at Colenso or elsewhere. The officials
were not aware If the railroad to
Ladysmith was entact or not.

THIEVES In THE Tolls.
Convicted In Idaho After Noted Career in
the Northwest.


Convicted in Idaho After Noted Career in
the Northwest.
COLFAX, WASH, Nov. Sword has
been received from Silver City, Idaho,
that Chet Hardesty and w. O.. Starr
have been convicted of grand larceny.
The convicted men are two of the most
noted horse and cattle thieves that
have ever operated in the Northwest.
They were the leaders of gang of
thieves that during the past three
years, haye stolen thousands of head of
cattle and horses in Eastern Oregon
and Washington aud Northern Idaho,
and through the completeness of their
system of espionage have during all
this time succeeded in escaping arrest
and conviction.
In Januaay. of this year Hardesty
and Starr, who at that time was gen.
orally known by the name of Casey
passed through Whitman county, and
on the way gathered up a 'numbe Of
horses belonging to other people. The
sheriff was notified within few days,
and the stolen horses were located in
Walla Walla county. A man was en-
ployed to watch the horses, while fur
ther search was made for the thieves.
The two men were located in Umatilla
county, Oregon, and Sheriff Canutt
went to Athena, where the men were
reported to be. That night the horses
were STOLEN from the guard and the
men struck out into the Blue noun
tains. The next heard of them was
when they were arrested by the Idaho
officers, after battle in which Starr,
or Casey, was shot through the body.

A BIGGER JOB
THAN EXPECTED
Beers Will Not Be Easily
Whipped.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The movement OF
Beers in Cape Colony is beginning to
awaken British fears that they have
greatly underestimated the forces they
will have to meet, and that General
Buller's task is not go easy as antici-
pated. 1t is becoming apparent that
all British calculations based on the
loyalty of the populGt.ou, are hopelessly
at sea. or there has been q very serious
leakage of Dutch syrnpathizers from
Natal and Cape Colony.
Otherwise there is no accounting for
the large forces of bufghers reported
from all directions. The war Office is
consequently being urged to haYe
more troops In readiness for all pos
sible demands.
