WAR IS WITHOUT AN APOL OGY
Miners Declaration Said to Place
Cnuse Deeper Than Mere Interces-
sion for Uiuanders

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz

Cablegram-'Special Telegram Sir Alfred
Miners declaration TO James Moltenos. a.
member of the Cape legislature and the
leader OF the Dutch majority in the Cape
Assembly, as to the reason for the war, 'I
am determined TO break he dominion of
Afrikanderdom." is regarde4 as the gravest
and most sinister disclosure yet made of the
spirit In which Chamberlain and Miner
cold -bloodedly forced on the war.
Moltenos' interview with Miner took
place four days before the issue OF the Boer
ultimatum and when Mllner was unable to
answer Moltenos' arguments on the un-
justihability Of the war he closed the con-
versation with the declaration above cited.
This not only tears the mask from the pre-
tense that the uitlanders' grievances spurred
Chamberlain and Miner to take action but
makes plain TO the Dutch majority in Cape
Colony and South Africa generally that they
are to be placed in position OF permanent
subjeeuon TO the British minority. Al

Press-Censored Dispatch from Spe-

LADYSMITH, Natal Nov. 4.-(New
York World Cablegram-Special Telegram)
Especial cable dispatch from war corre-
spondent in the besieged town OF Ladysmith
Message held back three days and mangled
by British CensorS at Durham and Aden.)-
The British troops are eager to revenge
the capture OF the Worcestershire regiment
and the Royal Irish Fusileers. A great eX-
odus from the town has begun. The
Standard bank of South Africa and the Ma
tional bank closed their doors yesterday.
The British troops are full OF fight and
the Beers will meet with a warm reception
if they attack the town, as the garrison is
quite ready for them. The railroad to the
southwark of the town has been interrupted; !;
so has the telegraph line to Durham via
Colenso. Boer commando at least 600
strong has just been seen from here passing
southward from Lombard's kopje. They
keep behind Bulwaan. which is occupied
by their plckets and is south of Lombard s
kopje The big gun of the Beers is still in
position. Others. too, have probably been
mounted near at hand.
Four naval range guns have been mounted
here. This afternoon everything is quiet,
the enemy showing no disposition to come
TO close quarters. The British guns occupy
strong positions around Ladysmith and
further developments are awaited with conf
dence The town is regarded safe, and
especially since the arrival of the naval
guns. II the Beers attempt to shell it,

morning. The Beers are not showing them
selves. except the commando which marched

Omaha daily bee., 1899-11-05

The registration yesterday in the city OF
Omaha added more than 4.50O names to the
list The figures above are the totals for
the entire city with the exception of the
third days registration in fourteen pre-
cincts. The missing precincts are four in
the Sixth and ten in the Third ward
The figures show that the republicans will
have large majority on election day if the
ballots reflect the sentiment expressed in
reply to the question regarding party af
fiiations. Out of 1916 voters reported
registered $3.50 recorded themselves as be-
longing to the republican party, while only
3,4S7 said they were democrats. The popu-
lists number only 354 and the silver repub-
licans sink almost out of sight with 1879.
The number declining to put themselves on
record for either party is 3,544.
Summing up the returns from the regis
tration books gives the republicans an excess
over the fusionists in the city of Omaha of
Alb and an excess over ALL including both
fusionists and those who have stated no
party Affiliations, of 1,169.
Dny Passes or Quietly.
The third days registration passed off
quietly and taken altogether may be consid-
cred light. although the total of the city will
exceed that of last year by more than 1900.
The republicans seem to have maintained
the lead everywhere which they established
on the first day. In some of the upper wards
they show four republicans to one fusionist,
while In strong democratic precincts the re-
publicans play even with their opponents.
Even in South Omaha, supposedly demo-
cratic stronghold, republicans equal in num-
ber the democrats who are recorded.
If the answers given to the registrars are
reliable straws everything portends sweep
ing republican victory at the polls Tuesday.
AS the returns from the registration booths
were brought in to the republican headquar
ters the confidence of the campaign man
ayers in the promise Of republican success
was noticeably strengthened. Workers were
out all day for the fusion aggregation, but
they seemed to accomplish little in the way
of results, notwithstanding the fact that they
had been made to realize the desperation in
which the fusion cause had been placed by
the wretched showing made by the fusionists
on the preceding registration days.
The tabulated figures by precincts with
the exceptions follow:

dieting the isolation OF Ladysmith and the
imminent command of Natal by the Beers.
Rumors are prevalent in the clubs tonight
that Ladysmith has fallen and intense alarm
prevails concerning General Whites force.
Even IL Ladysmith has not fallen the cut
ting off of the railway by the capture of
Coleneo leaves General White with COM
paratvely short supply of ammunition for
the big naval guns, on which the principal
reliance is placed for keeping the Beers at
bay until relief arrives.
In official military circles it is generally
believed that the Boer position in Natal is
strong 1t is deemed certain that General
Butler will not attempt any advance through
Natal, but will adhere to his original plan
OF entering the Orange Free State by the
western border proceeding through Bloem-
fontein to johannesburg and Pretoria, COM
pelling General Joubert and other Boer
commanders to abandon Natal, for defense
of the capital.
There is an uneasy feeling that the war
office has further news of the disaster be-
falling the British forces.
The evacuation of Colenso is undoubtedly
a mcst serious matter for the British in
Natal for 1t not only testifies to the COM
plete investment of Ladysmith by the Beers,
but makes the relief of Sir George White
an extremely difficult proposition.
At Colenso the railway from Ladysmith
crosses the Tugela river, which is now in
flood.
The seriousness of the evacuation lies in
the fact that Commandant General Joubert
while completely investing Sir George White
at Ladysnith, can seize this Tugela bridge
and if he has sufficient troops can detach a
force and send it southwark on Pietermaritz-
burg, aud in any case by destroying the
bridge and railway can prevent any relief
expedition reaching Sir George White for
some time.
