Kimberley. Because he has had a fight
at each railway station from Orange
river, some credence was given to an
agency telegram in the late afternoon
papers that he had third engagement
with the enemy nine miles from Gras
Pan and that he had captured 1000, 900
rounds of ammunition. But up to
o'clock this morning there is no confirm
alton of this third encounter.
The next battle is to be expected at
Spytfontein. where there is a good posi-
tion. The British advance must neces-
sariy proceed along the railway line.
The river Will be no obstacle as it is small
and easily fordable. At Spytfontein
there are few scattered hills. This is
the only point where the Beers will be
able to avail themselves Of cover The
British movement is undoubtedly diff
cult and dangerous. The great peril
arises from the possibility of the Beers
moving men across the Free State from
Natal to Jacobsdale and the Modder
river. Such movement would occupy
about 10 days for any considerable force
and about seven or eight days for a force
of less than 10000 If it is carried out
Methuen's column may prove unequal to
it's task.
No news has been received yet of the
Ninth lancers who We're sent to cut off
the Beers when Methuen attacked the
enemy at Gras Pan. Some uneasiness
prevails concerning their safety.
The losses of the naval brigade in the
battle at Gras Pan was enormous. Out
of 500 seamen and marines 105 FELL being
more than 20 per cent.
1t seems doubtful whether the enemy
will make any stand south of Ladysmith
but the latest advices would indicate that
both forces are moving north on converg-
ing lines that would cross near Colenso.
If the Beers make a stand south of Col
enso they will have behind them the Tu-
gela river in flood and only fordable in a
few places. This means complete ami
hilation # defeated. If they make a
stand behind the Tugela they are not out
of reach of General White, who With his
cavalry might strike their only possible
line of retreat. 1t is thought that the
British are most likely to fall back and
push men over toward Kimberley.

heavily shipping seas fore and aft. The
stress of weather increased as the Vic
toria advanced toward the open ocean.
On the morning OF Nov. "a the vessel was
rounded just outside of the straits. At
noon OF that day she was tossing on the
crest Of the waves, described in the log
as mountain high, and the strong ales
blew thick with binding mist. The
transport labored heavily during the
night and early next morning steamed
away to the west, but began to roll so
dangerously thai her head was again
brought around to the wind. This day
was repetition of the preceding with
the addition of terrific squalls. The roll
ing and pitching of the ship now began
to have its effect upon the animals con-
fined in their stalls. They had been
pounded from side to side until they were
in a state of utter exhaustion. Several
died during the night and next morning
and constant attention of Veterinary
Surgeon Payne and stock hands seemed
poWerless to save them. Under such
circumstances it was determined after
consultation between Captain Micha els
and his officers to round the ship and

state of war exists in South Africa, pro-
CARNATIONS of neutrality are expected to

ambassador, has called upon Secretary
Hay and the object of his visit is thus
explained:
1.-The British ambassador has informed
the secretary of state that. in view of
doubt which appeared to exist whether
her majesty's government recognizes
that the hostilites now in course of pro-
gress in South Africa constitute a state
of war between Great Britain and the two
South African republics, he has been di-
rected by the Marquis of Salisbury to in
form the secretary of state. as an act
of courtesy, that the South African re-
public and the Orange Free State hav-
ing declared war against her majesty,
the queen, and having invaded the Brit
ish colonies Of the Cape and Natal and a
state of war has actually existed since
Oct II, between England and the South
African republic and the Orange Free
State"
While in several instances in recent
years the Un.,ed States has not consid-
cred it necessary to proclaim it's neu-
trality in wars between other powers.
yet the authorities may deem it eXpedi-
ent, in view of the sympathy they feel
for Great Britain in the present struggle,
to do so formally. The matter will prob
ably be considered by the cabinet at it's

had been thoroughly overhauled and her
fittings were in the best condition She
WAS thoroughly provisioned, enough
supplies being taken for a siX-months'

the soldiers and the officials are at a loss
to explain the alleged shortness of the
food supply. That she was under

inspectors of hulls and boilers made
thorough examination and found her en-
gines in excellent condition. and in fact
the Manauense was generally credited
with being one of the best fitted vessels
in the transport service.
