DERAlLED A TRAIN.
Believed That tho Beers Attempted to
Ditcl, a Hospital Train.

Ditch Hospital Train.
Vryburg, Cape Colony, Oct. ia
| hospital train that started FIR Mari
bogo has just returned afte" an adj
venturous journey. 1t had reached
curve on culvert 700 yarls south IF
Maribogo and had just slackened its
| speed, when 1t was observed that the
rails ahead had been upturrea The
brakes We're applied, bit the engine
passed on, and was deraled. The oc
cupants Immediately tigh:ed the en-
gine. At the same time It was Cbserr-
ed that a party of Beers were sa.icp-
ing into line east of he railroad, but
| well on the Cape Colony side. Some
of the persons on the train icclart that
they saw a cannon pointed at the
train. The intention of the Beers was
apparently hostile. The train ran oat X
to Vryburg at full speed, the engi:ie
flying the white flag wi:n red cross.
Picks and shovels were seen lying
about and the Beers ia | apparently
been disturbed while removing the
rails
1t is learned that previous to the
starting of the train Maribogo tele
| phoned Vryburg asking that the train
be sent up, as all was quite safe. The
operator at Vryburg recognized the
voice as that of European store clerk.
In view of the subsequent report that
the Beers were removing the rails, it
is believed the Beers compelled the
clerk to speak through the telephone.
The nearest Boer command to wy
burg is Laagered, north of S2hweizer-
renek, 20 miles distant and two miles
inside of the Transvaal. rhe com

London, Oct. 15.-So far as actual
news is concerned very little Change
in the situation is noticed. The state
of affairs at Mafeking can only be
conjectured. The occupation of New
castle by the Beers was prepared for
and expected, the place having been
abandoned by the British. The Beers
are reported to be menacing Kimber-
ley.
Very heavy rains and SHOWS are re-
ported, which hamper the Boer move
ments, and they are finding that they
began too late to easily obtain the in
itial successes counted unon. They
evidently find the advance upon Lady
smith difficult, either from the north
or west, as General Sir George Stew
art Whites reconnaissance seems suf-
ficient to deter them for the present.
The peaks of the Drakensburg ranse
are now covered and the storms wh:ch
have occurred must have caused .be
Beers great discomfort, which probably
explains their failure to attack Cen
eral White. Mastery activity CHAR
acterizes the operations Of both sides.
Persistent runners are in circulation

Colony has been dismissed and ;nat
Ross Innes had been asked to form
a cabinet.
Sir Alfred Milner has wired 20 Mr..

A kaffir brought to Vryburg by the

There is still no reliable news from
