AWAIT NEWS FROM LADYsM1TH
Reported Capture of the Town Dis
believed by British War Office.

London, Nov. 4-The war office at
noon today announced that nothing had
been received there in any way modify
ing or altering the statement issued
yesterday afternoon and saying that
belated dispatches from Ladysmith
were coming through. Nothing had
been received to cOrroborate the reiter-
ated reports from Berlin of the capitu-
lation of General White A dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company from
Pietermaritzburg dated Yesterday said
Ladysmith was perfectly quiet that
morning and another dispatch from the
same place to the Exchange Telegraph
company says numbers OF women and
children left Ladysmith yesterday
evening on a passenger train escorted
by an armored train. A third dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
dated Cape Town. Nov. l. announces
that the Beers have entered Cape
Colony at Norva!spruit. destroying
several bridges.
The British troopship Papidan which
sailed for South Africa Nov. l. from
Liverpool, is returning in "a damaged
condition. having encountered yester-
days storm She signaled that her
fittings were out of order, that several
horses were dead and that three of her
boats were stove in- She is going to
Liverpool to be reftted.
The Exchange Telegraph company
later corrected it's Pietermaritzburg
dates to Wednesday, Nov. l, so they
lose significance.
The fact that the British war office
has received no news of the situation
at Ladysmith seems to effectually dis
pose of yesterdays continued rumors
of General Whites capitulation. and
kindred stories as if the general had
sustained a severe reverse There is
no reason to believe but that General
Joubert would be only too. glad TO for
ward General Whites official announce
merit of the fact to the nearest tele-
graph station. while, it is added. had
news of such a serious character reach
ed a foreign government in cipher it
would have undoubtedly have been
promptly conveyed to the British gov
eminent. As the Mozambique cable is
still broken it is impossible for any un-
censored messages to reach Europe.
with the exception of the dispatches of
foreign governments
In view OF the fact that an important
victory would be of the greatest moral
assistance to the Beers. it seems
obvious that the Boer sympathizers
would make such an event known as
quickly as possible. The war Office
here is making every endeavor to COM
municate with Ladysmith, so news

POLICE AFTER INDIANS.
Posses Sent to Bring Back Redskins
From Colorado.
(Special to Tne Herald J

Vernal. Utah. Nov. 4.-Reports have
reached here this afternoon that all the
Utes that are off the reservation. in
search of game have crossed into Colo
rado. 1t is now believed that they fol-
lowed the smountain range east and
crossed at the old Indian ford.
This leaves the case in the hands of
the Colorado game wardens. and trou-
BILE is feared unless the Indians are
overtaken and brought back before the
wardens mass their forces. The agency
authorities at both Uintah and Ouray
have despatched force of police after
the missing Utes. If the public reach
the Indians before they come in con-
tact with the wardens, trouble may be
avertec.
The affair at Snake River two years
ago is still fresh in the minds Of the
Colorado peopie. and it is we'll known
here that they will tolerate no intru-
sion.

Brought about the consolidation of the

the present owners. It is possible the

that. What the combine desires is the
assurance that the Tin mills will get n
supply OF tin plate bars at all times, and
when the combine becomes the holder OF
a considerable minority holding of stock
this assurance will be realized.

large interest in the Aetna-Standard,
