ARE PREPARING AN
ADVANCE At FIVE POINTS
Simultaneous Invasion Of English Territory Has Been
Planned -Albertna Station Seized and the Wire
Gut Not Shot Has Yet Been Fired-Ant-
British Feeling Growing on the Cont
nent-War Formally Declared

London, Oct. 13.--When the cabinet
meets at noon to-day. it is evident the
Boer advance will be in full swing.
Judging from present appearances, the
Beers are preparing for simultaneous
invasion at five separate points, Laing's
Neck, Kimberly. Vriburg, Mafeking
and Lobasts. Therefore it is almost
impossible to guess the plan of cam
paign.
A dispatch from Durham, dated on
Thursday morning at 5 o'clock, an
nounces that the Beers seized Alhertina
station and demanded the keys, which
We're delivered to them by the station
master. who reached Ladysmith on a
trolley car The excitement at Lady
smith Is increasing and the troops are
ready to act at moments notice.
1t is now definitely known that the
British government sent no final propo-
sition to Pretoria. The Transyaavs
ultimatum forestalled that intention.
So far as news received thus far shows,
no shot has vet been fired. The evacu-
ated district between Charlestown and
New Castle, Natal, has an area Ct
250,000 square miles, and consists chiefly
of hilly moorlands sparsely popu-
lated.
The Jacobsdale commando of the
Free State Beers is marching on the
Modder river.
There is no abatement in anti-British
feeling on the continent. The Times
Berlin correspondent declares that the
German nation as whole Is unfrienly
to England, and that there will be re
joicing on all sides if England should
suffer disaster or damage, just as tha

is no less genuine and strong between
nations than between individuals.
Looking backward two years, there
is nothing which we have more rea-
son to congratulate ourselves upon,
nothing that has added more to our in
ternational assets. than the fact that
we established this tie of affectionate
reciprocal sympathy with our great
kindred nation beyond the Atlantic
Lee Henry Courtney, liberal member
of parliament for the Bodwin division
uents at Lickserd, was frequently in
terrupted Mr.. Courtney lamented the
failure Of the principles enunciated At
The Hague, and in lengthy crfti
cism of the governments policy, de-
clared that our policy has been OF a
shifting character, causing the Beers
to distrust u.s.
He said he did not believe the preva-
lent idea that there was conspiracy
to expel the British from South Africa
and he regretted the Boter ultimatum,
but said he was unable honestly to con-
denim it.
After his speech Mr.. Courtney was
followed by hostile demonstra tions
The customary vote of confidence
was moved, but was met by an amend
ment, which was adopted by a large
majority, expressing regret that Mr..
Courtney should be at variance with
the governments policy and expressing
complete confidence in Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Courtney, after the passage of
the amendment, said it was the first
time he had encountered hostile vote.
and he admitted its gravity and SER
iousness

AT CAPE TOWN.
A Panic Has Broken Out at vriburg.
England's Reply.

"A fahlc mas Broken Out at Vriburg.
England's Reply.
Cape Town, Oct. 12.-The reply of the
imperial government to the Transvaal's
ultimatum is published here. 1t was
accompanied by instructions to Conyng-
ham Greene, British diplomatic agent
at Pretoria, to ask for his passports.
The reply was publicly read by mag
istrate at the evening parade of the
town guard here, and evoked loyal DEM
onstrations.
Cecil Rhodes has arrived at Kimber-
ly.
A panic has broken out at Vriburg
and hurried exodus has begun, owing
to British refugees from the Transvaal
declaring that a large force of Beers
was advancing on the town. The rumor
that New Castle has been occupied by
the Beers is without confirmation.
Mr.. Hofmeyer and other prominent
members of the Afrikander bund have
issued a circular appealing for sub
scriptions for the relief of the widows
and families of burghers killed in the
Transvaal.
The position of the Orange Free
state at the present juncture is pecu-
liar. While the Transvaal has declared
war. technically Great Britain and the
Free State are on friendly terms.

Beers Intend to Shell the Town Before
the Attack.

Beers Intend to Shell the Town Before
the Attack.
Cape Town, Oct. 12.-Advices from
Mafeking say that every precaution
has been taken against attack and that
all the streets are barred with wagons.
According to these advices the Beers
intend to shell the town before deliv
ering their attack. They are said to
possess II guns. Every man in Mafek-
ing is carrying a rifle and the military
authorities are confident that they will
be able to repel the attack, but they
lack the force necessary to follow a
Boer retreat. The town is fairly quiet.
The convent sisters and many ladies
have elected to stay and nurse the
wounded. and many houses have been
converted into hospitals. The search
light on the fort is kept working across
the veldt Three Boer spies have been
arrested in the town. Railway COM
munication to the southwark is prac-
tically at the mercy of the Beers, over
200 miles Of the line being within easy
striking distance of the enterprising
commanders.
