Gen. YuIs's Move.

London, Oct. 24.-The parliamentary
secretary of the war office, George
Wyndham. in the house of commons to-
day announced that Field Marshal Lord
Wolseley, commander-in-c chief of the
forces, sums up the situation in Natal
to-day as follows:
General Yule has fallen back to effect
a junction with Sir George Stewart
White. He camped yesterday evening
about 16 miles south of Dundee without
seeing anything of the enemy during
the march and it has since been report
ed thats"All's well on the Waschbank
river" General White fought a sue
cessful action with the Orange Free
State force to-day on the road between
Ladysmith and Newcastle and should
join hands with General Yule this even
ing. General Yule reports his wounded
are doing well. The Boer wounded on
our hands are treated just as our own,
and I have every occasion to believe the
Beers will treat any of our wounded in
their hands in similarly humane man
ner. Mr.. Wyndham added: II may re-
mind the house that the Transvaal is a
party to the Geneva convention" Lord
Wolseley further says:
II have also received from General

Helena, Oct 24-The people of Hell
ena and surrounding towns gave a
warm reception to-day to l. company
and a part Of company. The soldiers
who arrived on the regular from Butte
were met at the depot by over LOCO
people and cheered to the echo as they
left the train. Battery A fired a salute
and the Boston s. Montana band of
Butte, which had been especially en-
gagged for the occasion, added to the
occasion by rendering one Of its choice
selections. After the soldiers had been
greeted by friends and relatives pro-
cession was formed consisting of D
company. 24th U. S. infantry from Fort
Harrison, Grand Army veterans, sew
eral secret societies, battery A, two
bands and state and city officials in
carriages. The line of march WAS
south on Main street to the city hall,
then countermarching to Broadway,
east to Warren and north to the Audi
torium.
All business had been suspended ana
the sidewalks We're lined with cheering
crowds. The reception to the volun-
teers and especially to Major Miller,
Captain Sanders and Lieutenant Yea
ger, was soul-stirring. The returned
volunteers had a tussel making prog
ress, the enthusiastic spectators seem
ing possessed of desire to pull them
from the procession and carry them
along.
On arriving at the Auditorium the
soldiers We're seated at tables loaded
with about everything conceivable in
the food line. AS the guests OF honor
ate they We're addressed by Major Ma
ginnis, E. d. Weed. Senator Carter,
Governor Smith and others. Major
Miller. Captain Sanders. Lieutenant
Yeager and others of the volunteers
feellngly acknowledged the conpli-
ments and expressed their sense of
gratitude. Music, both vocal and in
strumental, added to the success of
the event, The gallery and the space
not reserved for the volunteers was
packed with a cheering, enthusiastic
throng that required the services OF
several policemen to hold them in
check and prevent them from almost
pulling the boys from their seats.
To-nishtla dance was given in honor
of the soldiers. The reception never
had its equal in Helena for spontane-
ity and genuine heartiness. Arrange
,nents had been made for entertaining
the three companies that participated
in the Great Falls celebration and who
passed through on a special train about
noon and there was genuine disap-
pointment because the special did not
stop. A lunch consisting of sandwiches,
cakes and drinkables had been taken
to the depot and the 8. & M. band was
on hand to add music to the welcome.
Great was the surprise when the train
pulled through without coming to the
depot

ENGLISH FORCES HAVE UNITED
AND WILL ATTACK THE B0ERS
Brilliant Strategcal Movement Executed by General
Yule-Retired From Glencoe and Effected a juno
tion With White-The First Attack Will Be
Made on the Free State Troops-Jou-
bert Next-Native Rising Feared.

London, Oct. 25.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing at 9:45 p. m. yesterday, says:
General Yule has performed a brill
liant strategical movement. By a
swift march to the south, leaving Glen
coe empty, he has affected a junction
of his forces with those of Sir George
Stewart White, slightly to the north
of Ladysmith.
The two are now in position to Of
fer battle. I believe the first attack will
be made on the large Free State force,
which entered Natal by way Of Tintwa
pass and which has since been harass-
ing Ladysmith. The military authors
ties decided that by joining their
forces the two generals would be bet
ter able to cope with one large force
at time than by having two small
detachments to oppose simultaneously
two big Boer forces.
Accordingly, after defeating the Free
State troops, they will offer battle to
Commandant General Jcubert Only
40 miles now separate the two Boer
forces. Hence the need for swift and
telling action.
The two sections of the Boer army
together outnumber the entire Boer
force 8 to /. Hard fighting is certain
at very early date. Our men are
confident and there is much enthusi-
asm.
The fighting to-day outside of Lady
smith was a mere brush.

to retire, but the latter replied that he
was hampered by his wounded and
could not return without reinforce
ments. Lieutenant Lord Charles Ben
timex of the 9th lancers was then order
ed, with squadron, to disengage Fitz-
clarence, and the retreat was effected in
good order
The efficiency of the armored train
was thoroughly shown. The crew did
great execution. While the fighting was
proceeding outside the townsmen stood
by the defenses of the town. Splendid
spirit is said to have been shown by
everyone, even the women shouldering
rifles, which they know how to handle.
Major Baillie had an odd experiences
near Mafeking while attempting to con-
vey orders from the enemy. $50 yards
away. A hot fire was opened on him,
and Baillie's water bottle was shattered
The next moment his horse was shot
and fell and Raillie had a narrow es-
cape from capture. He reached the
train.
A courteous note has reached Colonel
Baden-Powell from General Cronje, the
Boer commander, offering facilities for
the interchange of wounded and pris-
oners. This indicates that when the
Beers fired on the ambulance train
which was attempting to pick up the
dead they did so by mistake

at Tuli, has engaged and defeated a
force of Beers

HAD A TERRIBLE VOYAGE
F'rightful Experiences of Cape
Nome Prospectors.
TWO DIED OF STARVATION
Many Others We're Half Crazed From
Want OF Food and Water-Seyeral
OF the Passengers Had to
Be Carried Ashore

Seattle, Oct 24.-After voyage of
2s days from Cape Nome, during which,
time two men died Of starvation and
others We're half crazed from want of
food and water the schooner Hera ar
rived in port this morning with near
ly 200 passengers on board. News Of
the wretched plight of the Hera's pas
sengers was brought here Sunday
night by the steamer Lakme. The rev.
Lion Immediately started after the
schooner. They succeeded in finding
the schooner yesterday about so miles
off Cape Flattery
The two deaths reported are those
Of j. S. Ryan, who came on board ~
we'll man, but through bad food and
lack of attention, gradually grew
worse until he died on Oct 16 The
other is George Lamby. who through
want of nourishment and confinement
in ill-ventilated quarters was taken1
with typhoid fever and died on Oct L..
While sick he had no medical atten.3
'tion. Both men were buried at sea.
From the statements of other pas
sensers it is learned that the agent
of the ship at Nome guaranteed :1en
down, They were charged $50 for their
passage. There was a little dried
fruit on board, but only enough to sap
ply the table three times with peaches
and twice with dried prunes. From
that time on, for nearly "a days, their
food consisted of -four and coffee.
There was plenty of flour but the wa
ter was short. Four days ago the last
of the unpalatable salt horse was con-
sumed. Had it not been for rain
storms which fell for few days they
would have been without water also.
When the Hera anchored out iE the
stream the majority of the men we're
so weak that they could not carry their
gold dust ashore without assistance.
Several of the passengers were crazed
from their terrible experiences and had
to be carried ashore and taken care
of. Even taking their terrible .oyasee
into consideration, the passengers
unite in declaring Nome to be the
greatest camp on earth and many Of
them will return in the spring.
