BATTLE WITH Bio RESULTS
Has Commenced at Ladysmith-.-Boer
Forces strong.


Forces Strong.
Ladysmith, Oct. 3O.-The bat
tie of Ladysmith has begun. The
Beers opened with artillery fire on
the British camp. After seven
shots were fred the British silenced
the Boer guns. The Beers are ad-
vancing on the British left flank.
The loss of Ladysmith would mean
the loss of all northern Natal to
the British. For days the Beers
have been drawing nearer the town
from the northeast and the west.
To the northward the plain is black
with Beers. The battle will evil
IDENTIFY be hard one.
The English defending force is
200, and the Boer investing
force is estimated to be IL, 900.
The English are provided with
better and more artillery than the
Beers, with the exception that the
Beers have few long range guns
which carry further than any pos
sessed by the English.
The British hope for heavy re-
Inducements within a week, and
will use every endeavor to hold out
until that time.
The Beers, however, know that
reinforcements will soon arrive and
will, therefore, endeavor to deal a
crushing blow before they arrive.
CASUALTIES IN RHODESIA.
Tulie, Oct. 3O.-The British cas-
ualties in the encounters at Rhodes
Drift include Captain Blackburn
and two troopers killed and five
missing. The Beers lost twelve
killed.
A DUTCH STORY.
Berlin, Oct. 3O.-A report is
printed here, emanating from
Dutch sources, that the English at
Ladysmith have surrendered to the
Beers. The report is not credited.
TWO REGIMENTS MISSING.
| London, Oct. 30.-The wording
of the official account of to-day's
operations at Ladysmith is causing
much anxious comment tonight in
the service clubs.
It is believed the operations
were not successful.
The official hope that the guns
of the mountain battery may be re-
covered" is thought to rest ON a
slender foundation and the anxiety
will not be allayed until the safe
return of the Irish fusileers and the
Worcestershire regiment, which
have disappeared.
1t is announced that the regi-
ments went out at IL p. m. on
Sunday and had not got back at 4
p. m. to-day.
The newspaper dispatches are
being strictly censored and it is
generally believed that important
facts are being concealed.
