OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.

10 Longer Any Doubt That the Beers
Have Entered Natal.
LONDON, Oct. IA special from
Ladysmith says the Beers occupied
Laings Mex the moment the ultimatum
expired. They are now pouring into
Natal, and Ingogo Heights have been
occupied.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-Oficial confrma-
ton of the announcement that the
Orange Free State burghers have en-
tered Natal by way of Van Reenans
pass is at hand. 1t leaves no further
room for doubt that acts of war have
already been committed and that the
campaign has begun.
News of an invasion on the northern
border is also accepted as reliable.
1t seems improbable therefore that a
clash between the forces Of Briton and
Boer can long be delayed, if indeed it
has not occurred already. The morn
ing's dispatches furnish ample details
of the situation on the frontier and en-.
able a clearer exposition of the military
status. 1t now seems that the Beers
intend to act in two columns, those
from the Orange Free State working
from the West, with the object of keep
ing the British forces at Ladysmith and
Dundee occupied, while parties of Beers
slip past to destroy the bridges along
the railway forming the line of com.
munication between the British at Dur.
ban, Natal, the advanced base at PETER
m~aritzburg. and the front.
1t is regarded as possible that the
Beers will attempt to occupy Estcourt
where there are only a hundred men of
the naval brigade and the news that
the Beers are raiding Zululand in the
neighborhood Of Eshowe is taken as a
confirmation Of this possibility.
An easy road connects Eshowe and
Estcourt through Greytown and Pam
poennek; and from Greytown it is also
an easy reach to Howick, to the south.
If the bridges along the Umgeni river
were destroyed this would enormously
increase the difficulty Of reinforcing
the British.
However, it is still suspected that the
tntire Boer concentration on the from.
tiers of Natal may be merely an elab-
crate feint to draw of attention from
Mafeking, which many experts regard
as the real objective Of the Beers. A
successful dash there would give the
Beers great prestige with the disaffected
Afrikanders in Cape Colony.
Colonel Baden-Powell's movement at
Mafeking is held to indicate that he is
not prepared for sharp fighting but
probably expects it at that point.
According to a dispatch from Cape.
town it is asserted that the Beers have
arranged with Chief Linch- We, q prom.
inent chief on the northwestern border
to take up arms against Great Britain,
Crossed Into Cape Colony.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Free State
burghers according to q private mes

have crossed the Orange river into Cape

WOULD FORCE CONCESSIONS.
American Railway Projectors Are
unYing TrOuhle in Chlnu,

Amertcun halfway PROJECTORS Are
Having TrOuble in Chinu.
Washington, July 14--Secretary Hay re-
ceived call this morning from w. Bar
clay Parsons, tho engineer representing
the American railway concessionaires con-
trolling the projected railroad from Can
ton to Han Kow, China. Mr., Parsons cx-
planned at some length to the secretary
the obstacles that have been encountered
by his company in carrying out its con
cession. The Chinese government IL
osteusibly held to be obstructing the con-
cessionaires, but behind that government
and urging 1t unwillingly on its course are
foreign influences. according to Mr., Par
sons, which are striving TO secure for
themselves this concession.
Mr. Parsons said that an English COM
pany holding a concession for railroad
from Canton to Kow Loon merged their
interests with the American corporation
and effected combination to maintain
themselves against these foreign in
fluences. The British government would
naturally look after the interests of its
subjects and the American corporation
asks Secretary Hay to take similar action
TO require the Chinese government 10 per-
init the execution OF the concession.
Secretary Hay promised 10 lay the mat
ter before the president The first step
10 be taken is to secure from United
States Minister Conger at Pekin an exact
statement of the facts upon which to pro-
coed. The Chinese government has al
ready been distracted by the rival claims
of England and Russia to railroad conces-
sions in Northern China and the present
conflict in the South promises 10 be quite
as difficult OF adjustment
The American minister In Pekin has
been instructed to use his good Offices in
oil proper ways in behalf of the Ameri-
can company and to prevent injury 10 its
interests His action is not TO be taken
In connection with that of the British
government. There has been no COM
munioation between the two governments
In regard to the matter and no joint ac-
ton has been asked for by the American
company and none has been recommended.
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, stated today that he had not been
advised OF tho complication, and for that
reason did not care TO discuss Il. The
American concession was granted through
him in April. 1898.
