LONDON, Noy. l4.-There are signs
of the recurrence Of the spirit of over
confidence in the British arms with.
out further setback or reverse to the
British troops. The situation surely
is steadily improving every day with
the arrival of reinforcements at Cape
Town and Durham, and also with the
increasing evidence that the Dutch al
lies have made fatal tactical mistake
in scattering their commands at too
many points instead of concentrating
their forces against Kimberly and
Ladysmith or marching, Like Sherman,
to the sea and sweeping down on Dur
ban.
The British campaign, however, has
not ye5 been won, and full fortnight
remains in which Kimberly may be
captured aud Ladysmith exposed to
destructive long-range fire. General
White has done great work in holding
back General JouberL's forces from
lower Natal, but it is premature to
conclude that the latter is wasting
time, ammunition and men laying
seige to camp which he can never
render untenable.
While the meager news received
from Natal and the western border is
favorable, the best military writer's in
uoday's London journals caution En-.
glishmen against shouting until we'll
out of the woods.

Walla Walla has four police officers

rather too long about putting forth
effOrs to retain the trade of the int

regained. If everybody will put forth

In Judge Bellinger's court at Port.
land yesterday David B. Garrison, OF
this place. plead guilty to violating
Section 543S of the revised statutes of
the United States, and was sen fenced
to pay fine of $1,000 and to be con-
fined in the county Jail of Wasco
county until said fine was satisfied at
the rate of 81 per day. which is virtu-
ally d sentence of 500 days in the
county Jail. The offense for which
Garrison is sentenced is that of hav-
ing attempted to secure pension
under fictitious name. While in the
United States service he bought an.
other soldiers discharge papers, and
believed he thereby bought any claim
his comrade might have against the
government. He therefore fell an
easy victim to firm of pension sharks
in Washington and made affidavits
that we're false. acting upon the ad
wise of the pension attorneys. While
Garrison is technically guilty. the real
criminals are the pension attorneys
in Washington who led him into the
trap, however, he will have to suffer
the consequences of being led astray,
while the really guilty parties go free.

Trouble about Nothing.

Last week Mrs. M. c. Hill, of Nit

from Portland, she being accused by
John Brantt of having robbed him of
sum of money and check on the
First Natsonal bank of this city. She
WAS taken to Portland and given
preliminary hearing before Justice
Hennessy, and it discovered that
Brantt still had the check he claimed
to have lost and also had most of the
money which he thought had been
stolen. The entire trouble was
brought about by Brantt having got
on spree, forgot what he had done
with his property, and rushed into
court to have supposed wrong
righted. 1t was case where more
cautious Justice could have saved a
whole lot OF bother to the parties in
terested and considerable expense to

today. He testified to the splendid de-
tense of the rtoyal Irish fusiliers and
the Gloucester regiment against an
overwhelming force OF Beers, who held
positions on three sides of the British
troops. Retirement on the fourth side
was impossible, as the way was too
precipitous, and surrender was the only
to annihilation, as the
Beers were on the point of opening .
she'll fire upon them.

LONDON, Nov l5.-Ift the VS. In the
Pretoria dispatch of November 9th. by
way of Cape Town, are correct, it i'm
plies a general assault on Ladysmith
was pending when Joubert's report was
sent. 1t is claimed that If the Beers
haye got their for ;es Within 1900 yards
of the British position it shows they
fully realized the necessity of utilizing
the brief interval before the arrival of
British reinforcements to make a de-
termined attempt to storm General
Whites position. The cessation of the
cannonade mentioned in the dispatch
and the opening of musketry fire im-
plies that the Beers are obliged to stop
their artillery for fear of hitting their
own men. A Paris paper today glee-
fully announces the fall and capture
of Ladysmith, but this report is not
credited.
