LORENZO MARQUEE, Delagoa Bay,
Nov. 20.-Belated dispatches from a
cor, sppondent with the Doers near Lady.
srilh, up to Tuesday, Nov. IA, are ar.
irving here after being strictly censored
at Pretoria: They throw some light On
the fighting already reported from 9TH
er sources. They say that on Friday,
Nov. 10, eight lyddite shells We're fired
into the Transvaal central artillery po.
bltion without doing any harm. The
wood of the platform of the second Of
the big guns on Bulwana hill was dam
aged, but has since been repaired.
Commandant Veilbach captured a
man who reported that General White
was wounded and has gone to Pieter-
maritzburg, leaving General French in
command. This, however, does not
tally with the Transvaal's information.
The prisoner also reported that the
British forces were hiding in under
ground chambers in order to avoid the
shells, and said there were about 1000
wounded in the hospitals.
Joubert had been indisposed but is
better.
On Monday, Nov. IL, the British forts
on the north side of Ladys,r tn opened
on the nearest Boer battery and the
shells fell SO thickly that the Beers were
compelled to lie fiat and sheltered.
Later they opened fire on the British
batteries, which ceased firing.
Heavy fighting occurred between the
Orange Free State troops and the Brit
ish south of Ladysmith, during the
morning of Tuesday, Nov. IA. The re-
suit is not known.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The latest news
from the seat of war adds little to the
general complexion. For the past 4d
hours matters have been fairly quiet at
Ladysmith. 1t is not likely the Beers,
badly informed as to the nature and ex-
tent of the British preparations to re-
lief of the town, may be hesitating re-
garding the next movement. The stu.
alton in Natal is very complicated,
more especially if the reports be true
that the great Tugela bridge has been
destroyed.
The success of the next move on
either side will depend more on strategy
than on superior numbers. The Beers
have three lines of action open. They
can hold the railway with the force
they have at Ennersdale, falling slightly
back before the British advance, and
threatening it from Weenen, or, in the
second place, they can advance from
Weenen and
Try to Garry Estcourt,
or, in the third place, they can ad-
vance due south from Weenen to Wes-
ton. cut the railway and blow up the
bridge over the Hood river. If it be
true there are 10000 Beers under Gen.
eral Joubert and General Botha, march
ing south to meet the British relief
force heavy fighting is in store.
Nothing is known with certainty re-
garding the progress of the relief COL
umn from Durham and the immediate
interest centers in the relief of Kim
berley. General Me1heun has splendid
knowledge of the country where he will
operate and is laying his plans with the
utmost care. An indefatigable worker,
he is busy night and day cutting down
the baggage to a minimum and issuing
orders with view of ensuring that the
officers shall be indistinguishable from
the men to the eyes of the Beers.

BIG BULGE IN HIDES.
Prices Marked Up Sharply in tho Last
Sixty DaYa.


CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The Record says:
All kinds of leather and hides in the
United States and Canada have taken a
sudden jump in price because Of gen.
eral scarcity of the raw and manu-
factured material put the markets al
most in a state of panic. In the last 80
days the best grades Of oak butts which
are used for betting have advanced
from 36 to 40 cents pound, and the
first quality of oak sole leather, used in
the making Of boots and shoes, has
risen from "a to 50 cents.
A year ago betting leather was down
to 30 cents pound. with other kinds of
tanners goods in proportion. The
Transvaal war is helping to drain the
low available supplies of American
leather and add to the famine prices.
