Secure Supplies From Stores Aban-
doned BY British.

Estcourt, Natal. Nov. 6.-An armored
trim has returned from reconnoitering
in the direction of Colenso. and reports
having seen nothing of the enemy. The
train guard met a native runner re-
turning from Ladysmith. who said that
party OF Beers had torn up the line
within a mile of Colenso station
The Beers. he asserted. were in great
numbers in that vicinity. They brought
big guns down from Grabley's Klof
hill. pointing them on the main road
way and fired five shots into Colenso,
only to ascertain that it had been
completely evacuated. Then they en-
tered with five supply wagons which
they filed with goods from Edwards
store. The train party went scouting
and obtained reliable news that Co
lenso was in possession of the .Doers.
and therefore returned here, bringing
the runner with them.
The Natal field artillery, with mount
ed escorts. returned to camp at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, after patroling
the surrounding country.
Signs az abundantly manifest that
movement is contemplated by the
British troops here, but their destina-
ton is kept a profound secret

New York. Nov. "a cable message
was received in this city today saying
that Alfred Harmsworth, editor and
proprietor of the London Daily Mail.

a letter to Sir Thomas Upton to say

London Nov. 10-The scanty and
conflicting news from the seat of war
and the fact that General White has
not yet said word about the alleged
| fighting around Ladysmith, are again
] producing feeling of gloom 1t may
be that General White has sent news
and that General Butler has thought
best to keep it to himself. Indeed, this
is the version that is beginning TO De
! believed, as il is held to be Impossible
that the news of heavy fighting brought
by Kaffirs in such circumstantial de-
tail cannot be wholly groundleSS. lf
this be so. 1t is ominous, for there
could be no ground for concealing
favorable news.
1t cannot be long. however. before a
change occurs. General Buffers forces
will soon arrive at Durham and will
probably begin the advance TO the relief
of Ladysmith about Nov. 10.
The Beers, if they ever entertained
the idea of real invasion of Cape Col
ony. have probably now abandoned 1t
and will devote their whole tnergieS to
reducing Ladysmith. They have only
about a week TO do this. The fact
that they remain inactive indicates
that they are waiting for something
and will devote their whole energies to
delay. The latest Estcourt dispatches
seem to hint that the garrison is about
to reture further southward.
To Shell Pretoria.
Orders have been received at Wool

thirty Howitzers, fourteen SiX-inch
guns, eight fiye-inch guns and eight

the first employment of a modernized
siege train by any European army and
the progress of the reduction of the
forts by Lyddite shell fire, prelimi-
nary to storming by infantry, will be

all professional soldiers.
