CAPE Town, Oct. 17.-There is still
no reliable news from either Lady
smith or Glencoe, except that patrol
from the latter place exchanged shots
with a small body Of Beers on the road
to Helpmakour. All reports agree that
the Beers now occupy Newcastle. Boer
tents have been discovered eight miles
southeast of Kimberly. Great clouds of
dust seen 10 miles to the eastward Of
Kim berly seem to indicate the move
ment of large body of troops with
wagons. Two imperial officers at mid
day also discovered column of 400
Beers going in the direction of Modor

parties of Beers, evidently on COM
Wandering expedition, have passed

conjectured. The occupation of New

and expected, the place having been
abandoned by the British. The Boer2

Very heavy rains and SHOWS are re-

ments and they are finding that they
began too late to easily obtain the in

evidently find the advance upon Lady
smith difficult either from the north or
west as General Sir George Stewart
Whites reconnaissance seems to have
suficed to deter them for the present.
The peaks of the Drakesburg range
are snow covered and the storms which
have occurred must have caused the
Beers great discomfort, which probably
explains their failure to attack General
White. Mastery inactivity character

LONDON, Oct. 17.-General Sir Red
vers Butler, who will have the chief
command in South Africa, accompanied
by his staff, left Waterloo station for
Southampton to go on board the Dun
otter Castle. His departure was the
occasion for another patriotic demon
stration. General Butler arrived at the
station at 1:45 p. m. With great diff
entity his carriage pushed its way
through the great crowds that blocked
every approach. The people swarmed
everywhere and gave the station the
appearance Of veritable beehive.
Constant and deafening cheers marked
the approach of the royal carriages con-
tanning the Prince of Wales and the
Duke Of Cambridge, and when Sir
Redvers Butler alighted and appeared
in the doorway Of the station to receive
the prince and his former commander
in-chief, enthusiasm knew no bounds.

General Belief IL That the Beers Are At

CAPE Town, Oct. 17.-Five hundred
Boer troops occupy Border Siding,
northward Of Fourteen Streams, with
cannon, where they are awaiting orders
to destroy the line or attack Fourteen
Streams.
The railway telegraph officials have
abandoned Maribogo.
The nearest British point of commu-
nication to Mafeking therefore is I'M
derstood to be Setlagolit, 60 miles away.
While it is the general belief that the
Beers are attacking Mafeking there is
still no confirmation Of the reports If
the Beers had made such an advance it
would not be known as the only tele
graphic communication is in the hands
of the burghers. The absence of news
therefore is regarded as good sign.

direction of Actonhomes, where the
Beers are reported to be encamped. The
Dublin Fusileers arrived from Glencoe

ment, the Beers retreating. The British
troops remain at point 10 miles from
Ladysmith, with the exception of the
Dublin Fusileers, who returned to
Glencoe, General Sir William Symons
having wired that an attack was ex-
pected there.
The Beers possess Brakwal station, %
miles west of Ladysmith, and detach-

at Besters, two stations nearer.
