London, oct. 14.-An Edinburgh pa
per, The Scotsman. this morning as
serts that q battle has taken place be-
tween Sir George Stewart White. COM
handing the forces in Natal and the
Beers. who entered Natal by way Of
Van Reenan's Pass. General White
The Scotsman says. is very sanguine
of the success of the British movement
The foregoing report is considered TO
be correct. as late last night the war
Office had news Of British advance
from Ladysmith, and was hourly ex-
pecting further intelligence
A dispatch which arrived yesterday
morning was as follows:
"An armored train has been destroy
ed south of Mafeking. Fifteen British
soldiers We're killed. The Beers she'll
ed the wreckage after the train was
derailed"
An official dispatch received at the
colonial Office says:
near Kranpan Station, while on the
way to Mafeking with guns"
This seems to dispose of the fear that
women and children were involved in
the disaster
A dispatch to The Daily Telegraph,
from its correspondent at Ladysmith,
dated at noon on Friday, says:
A strong mobile column under Gem
eral Sir George Stewart White, ac-
companied by General Sir Archibald
Hunter, proceeded before daybreak this
morning toward Acton Homes for the
purpose of reconuOiteriug. General
Whites object was to observe what
was going on. and also to test the ma
bility and efficiency Of his forces. All
the men are we'll. and the weather is
now fine"
The Daily Nails Cape Town CORE
spondent, telegraphing Friday evening,
says:
81 learn on good authority that the
Beers are attacking Mafeking. They
are reported to have already suffered
several repulses. IL is generally ad-
mitted that Vryburg cannot stand a
strong Boer attack"
According to the Daily Mails Cape
Town correspondent, Mr. Schenier,
premier Of Cape Colony, will unre-
servedly support the imperial govern
tatad by a dasira NOT e., ari,,a ~ a,
