Advics from Kimberley under date of Oc-
tober o., received through a dispatch

1t also appears that as they are unable to
blow UP the piers of the Modder river bridge
the Beers are demolishng them stone by
stone. They have blown up practically ev-
cry culvert from the Modder river to the
Orange river. An armored train, strongly
supported, made reconnaissance october ~
and found the Beers still at Spyefontein.
There vas an extraordinary military par
ade at Aldershot yesterday when fifteen
traction engines and forty trucks were in
spected previous to their departure for South
Africa. A stretch of sandy rock road was
selected for the tests and gave excellent
chance to observe the points OF the engines
A steep ditch and banks two and three feet
high were safely trayersed and though at
times the wheels sank aXle-deep. other en-
gines pulled out the haptess ones. The duke Of
Connaught and Princes Louis and Victor
Napoleon attended the trials and were much
pleased with the result. Twenty-four OF
these engines will be dispatched to South
Africa.
Call for the Second Corps.
The preparation to call out the Second
army corps, taken in conjunction with the
extraordinary naval activity here, has again
aroused the belief in service circles that the
government has good reason to anticipate
European hostility. No reason to justify
this latest reiteration Of rumors Of Russian
French or German Intervention can be
found, however. 1t was learned on good
authority that the motive consists, to quote
an official. Sin wanting to show the other
fellows what we can do" and is on line
with calling out the militia, a purely pre-
cautionary measure dictated by the neces-
sity Of bringing up the home military force
to its normal strength, or rather to
strength proportionate with the necessities
OF nation engaged in foreign war.
Still, it is doubtful whether the second
corps will be actually called out. That de-
velopment depends on two circumstances:
First, the attitude Of European nations as
evinced after this first serious British re-
verse; SECOND, upon the judgment OF Gen
eral Butler who, finding the conditions not
30 favorable as expected, may demand the
troops. 1t does not follow the entire army
corps, even II called out, will be sent to
General Butler. 1t Is more probable that
1t will be kept home to supply the places
of those sent out in consonance with Gen
eral Buffers wishes Upon the present or
ganization these home forces are supposed
to be capable of raising at short notice
three army corps Should the war office
decide upon raising a second corps 1t Will
necessitate the calling out of more reserves.

BUFFALO, Wyo., Oct 31.-(Special.) THE
strange Disappearance of Charles A. Broad
a well to do Englishman, who was in Buffalo

Bread in town and induced him 10 go with
him to Bull Camp, where the Mexican as

Captains Are Arrested.

Coroner Bausch, after a consultation with
the harbor police, decided to issue warrants
for the arrest OF the captains of the steam
ship City CT Augusta and the ferryboat Chi
cago, on the charge of manslaughter. The
afiidavits are signed by the police and are
based on the case Of John Bryson the driver
OF the mail wagon, who was drowned.
Mrs. Mary Weir of Brooklyn called al
police headquarters today and stated that
her husband, Alexander Weir, coal dealer
was missing and that she feared he was on
the ferryboat Chicago. Word was received
at police headquarters from Brooklyn that
man named Carl McCready had been re-
ported missing. McCready was Brooklyn
man and is supposed to have been on the
ferryboat which was run into and sunk. The
police think that the body OF a woman which
was picked from the East river off Eighty
second street this afternoon is the body OF
one OF the victims of the collision.

aueer Actions of Augusta.

The City of Augusta found Itself unable for
few moments to get out of the hole Il had
made. Its anchor chains were entangled
in the splnters and despite its reversed
engines it was unable at first to do more
than pull the Chicago downstream with it
The City of Augustus nose was clear into
the Chicago's hull. 1t finally managed t)
get clear and backed away. No effort was
made by its crew to lower boats to help the
passengers of the Chicago, who were then
in tho water by the score, their cries being
plainly audible on shore.
The tugboat Chauncey NJ, Depew reached
the scene before the Chicago sank and took
thirty-five people from the ferrybcat and
out of the water.
The fireboat, the police boat Patrol
and several launches were called to the ecena
and did valuable work in rcscuing pc pie
Several small boats were sent ort from the
neighboring piers and in ones VS. and
