IN NO CONDITION TO FIGHT.
Boer Force Mob of Only About
10000 Men.


London, Oct. 5.-The Daily Telegraph
correspondent at Newcastle, Natal,
sends his paper a similar message to
that sent by the correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle. He says he is sure
that half Of the Beers viii offer no seri-
Gus resistance to the British troops.
1.-The Free State" he says, has made
no preparations, and it is doubtful if it
can put a thousand men in the field at
present Thousands of the OutlanderS
are unable to leave the Transvaal, and
their terror is so great that many of
them have Joined the Boer levies as the
best means of escaping.
Johannesburg can offer no serious
defense if attacked, and Pretoria, de-
spite its five forts, is hopelessly weak.
Practically the whole Boer population
has been called to arms and the result
has been a strangely armed and CARRIED
guerilla mob of 10000 or Whereabouts.
It is declared that the defective Ger
man cartridge cases have all been re-
called and fresh ammunition made in
America is being substituted.
Thousands of the burghers are at
tired in khaki and puggarees, SO it is
difficult to distinguish them from the
British troops.
Last Friday the Boer government
arrived at the conclusion that the real
danger of British attack lies on the
Natal side, and thousands of men who
had been sent in the direction of Del
agaa bay and RhodeSia were recalled
and dispatched toward Standerton. 1
am satisfied that General Joubert has
1900 men between Standerton and
Volksrust and am certain that they
will invade Natal with that strength.
Certainly serious and bloody actions
are impending as soon as the Beers
have recovered from the fatigue of
travel. There is no doubt, however, that
the women and children will be well
treated, as will also probably unmarked
citizens

Pretoria, Oct. A more extended
account of the speech of President

raads yesterday is obtainahle. Accord
ing to trustworthy reports he said:
Everything points to war, because
a spirit of falsehood has overtaken
other countries, and because THE people
of the Transvaal wish to govern them
selves. Although thousands may come.
to attack US, we have nothing to fear,
for the Lord is the final arbiter, and
he will decide.

Mr.. j. NJ. A. Wolmarans, one of the
two non-official members of the ex-
ecutive council, said he hoped that
when the raads reassembled they would
be without a convention. and would be
a free people. God, he declared, had
often used England to bring the burgh-
ers back to the faith of their forefath-
ers. In the course Of his speech he
exclaimed:
England has refused everything,

The teacher of a district school in Maine
tells story that reminds one of Mary

his little dog.
Joe was boy about years old, and
was devoted to a small. lank puppy. Out
of school hours boy and dog were insep-

concile himself To the necessity of leaving
the dog at home. For several mornings
the teacher allowed the puppy to remain
at Joe's feet under the desk.
Then there came day when the small
dog could not be kept quiet, but frisked
about. to the delight of the school and the
dismay of the teacher.

Joe looked at her mournfully but picked
up the pup. and. with his head against
