TWO ARMY CORPS TO
BE AT ONCE Modified

LONDON, NoY. S.-A Daily Mail repre-
sentative In informed that the Second and
Third army corps are to be Immediately
modified and that q division consisting Of
ten thousand men of the Second Army
Corps Will be dispatched to South Africa
as soon as the necessary arrangements
can be completed. The Second Army
Corps will consist in round numbers Of
some 40 900 men. It will be made up as
follows: Thirty infantry battalions, three
batteries of Royal Horse artillery, eigh-
teen batteries of field artillery, and ten
regiments Of cavalry. The cavalry force
will thus be far in excess of the usual
proportion of that arm to the infantry,
but 1t is concluded that the war office pro-
poses to equip special cavalry division, a
course which the nature of the warfare
and the character Of the country in South
Africa render necessary.
The Third Army Corps, but purely
nominal affair will number at the outside
some 5000 men. 1t could not be brought
up to its full strength without the aid Of
the militia It will be required for garri-
son purposes, as nearly every military
station in the kingdom will be denuded Of
troops by the concentration of the Second
Army Corps at Aldershot The mobiliza-
ton of the Second and Third army corps
is absolutely without precedent It Will,
of course, involve the calling out of the
reserves Of those regiments which are on

WHAT DEFEAT WOULD MEAN.

COLOGNE. ..ov. 7.-Letters received by
the Cologne Gazette from Johannesburg,
dated October 13, said the Germans there
Indignantly repudiate the telegram to
Emperor William, signed by Colonel
Schiel, which in no way reflects the feel
ings OF the Germans Of the Transvaal.
AS q matter OF fact. 1t is declared Schiel
was not responsible for the Objectionable
character of the dispatch. as he was alb
sent at the time 1t was sent. The letters
reaffirmed that Kaffirs were being con-
veyed across the border in gangs of 1000
to 5000, and that the escorting Boer forces
were robbing them of a considerable
amount Of their savings. Foreigners, 1t
also appears, were being stopped in the
streets and compelled to give up the
money In their pockets. One letter con-
cludes: "As long as the Beers are vic
torious Johannesburg has nothing to
fear, but If beaten the town, with all the
mines, will soon cease to exist"
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-08

therefrom that a fair estimate of the
Boer forces is as follows: Around Lady
smith, 25 900; traversing Zululand, 400;
advancing on Burgherdorp, 5000; Coles
burg, 3OOO Kimberley, 1000; Mafeking,
$500, and on the northern Transvaal
border. 1000.
Exact information about the Boer ar
tillery is lacking, but It Is known that
General Joubert's detachment before It
was reinforced consisted OF sixteen Krupp
field pieces of the latest pattern and two
heavy Cruzot siege guns, which but for
the opportune arrival Of the British naval
brigade would have rendered Ladysmith
untenable.
In connection with the naval guns a
most interesting and important expert
ment has been successfully carried out at
Cape Town with 4.7-inch gun, so service
able at Ladysmith. One of the British
cruiser Terribles guns, mounted on a
Scott travelling carriage, was fired in the
same way as a field gun with entire sue
cess. The Terrible, with a number Of
guns thus mounted, is on her way to
Durham, and though the guns cannot now
reach Ladysmith, they may be Of great
value in the defense of Pietermaritzburg,
which It seems will probably have to
stand q siege. The arrival of the Terrible
with the relief crews for China and
other available men, must have placed In
the neighborhood of 10000 more men at
the service of the military authorities.

town.

LONDON. Nov. 7.-To-night's welcome
dispatches from the front have rent the
veil Of gloom enveloping Ladysmith
showing the British garrison not merely
standing on the dogged defensive but
executing a series of brilliant sorties
Accounts from different sources agree
that the laconic official description Of
Thursdays engagement as IAN effective
EheIing of the Boer lager was unduly
modest. It appears that General Sir
George Stewart White sent a strong force
Of cavalry and infantry to attack the
Beers at Tathams Farm. about ten miles
70 the northwest. near Besters, and ap-
paTently achieved a surprise, the Beers
being caught on the open veldt and cut
TO pieces and their camp captured. En-
couraged by this success General White
decided TO risk an even more important
enEa cement on the following day, which
was again justified by success.
Ladysmith has been Isolated and Boer
force has intercepted the railway between
Ladysmith and ColensO. This force on

BRITISH SHIPS ALERT.

LONDON, Nov. 7.-Interesting news
comes from the channel squadron at Glib
raltar, showing precautions against all
eventualities almost unknown in Euro
pean waters In peace times. On the way
to Gibraltar the fleet spread out four
miles apart and a sharp lookout was kept
for suspicious craft. At Gibraltar extra
sentries are posted at night at different
parts Of the ships with ten rounds of ball
cartridges each. The small guns on the
upper deck and in the fighting tops are
kept ready for immediate use. The am
munition being on deck and a few men
sleeping at the guns, the searchlights are
kept working, all boats are hailed and
not allowed to approach without the per-
mission of the officers Of the watch.
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-08

Friday had descended upon Colenso and
as shown by the dispatches from Estcourt
had compelled a hurried abandonment Of
Colenso and q retirement of the British
to Estcourt.
General White had ascertained that the
Beers were attacking Colenso, but he was
not aware of the British retirement. He
had determined therefore, to attack the
Beers in the rear, thus hoping to achieve
the double object of drawing off an at
tack upon the weak garrison of Colenso
and possibly of reopening communication
southwark. The Beers had advanced
southwark until they had occupied the
hills north of Tugela River and dominat-
ing Colenso on the other side Of the
stream The hills slope to plain that
reaches to the banks of the Tugela-
General Whites division caught the
Beers in the rear and after the hills had
been shelled the British infantry stormed
the position. Meanwhile the British cav
airy swept round the hills and as the re-
treating enemy descended into the plains
with British bayonets behind and the
river in front of them they were charged
by the cavalry and seem to have pershed
almost to a man. The British then re-
turned to Ladysmith without coming into
touch with the Colenso garrison, which
had retired TO Estcourt.
Sundays dispatch from Estcourt, how
ever. showed that an armored train had
been sent back TO Colenso to repair the
line and the next news may possibly re-
store communication with Ladysmith.
While the British troops were thus en-
gagged In successful endeavors TO wipe
out the Nicholsons Mex disaster the stu
alton inside Ladysmith, as shown by an
official dispatch from the general at Est
court was most satisfactory, encouraging
a hope that Sir George Stewart White
may yet completely retrieve his shaken
reputation and that his force may emerge
triumphant from the ordeal through
which II is now passing.
General Lord Wolseley, the commander
in chief, has written to Lady Randolph
Churchill thanking her for the efforts Of
the American ladies in England in fitting
out a hospital ship for South African
waters He says ~ am only too anxious
to help you in this matter. in order to
show you how thoroughly our army and,
indeed, the nation, appreciate the evil
dence Of the interest American ladies
take in our sick and wounded"
The Maine will sail for the Cape on
November % with Lady Randolph
Churchill on board.

POWERS HAVE TAKEN
NO STEP TO INTERFERE

BERLIN, Nov. THE recruits Of the
Imperial Corps du Garde took the oath of
allegiance to-day in the Kustgarten in
the presence OF the Emperor and his staff
and the foreign officers. AS each brigade
was sworn, his Majesty took his stand by
Its colors. Addressing them all In turn
in a loud voice, the Emperor reminded
the guards of their oath, saying: "a
mans word Is his bond" and exhorting
them to do their duty as soldiers and
Christians.
Regarding the alleged scheme for arbi-
trating the Transvaal question, q semi
official statement has been issued as fol-
lows:
Nothing whatever is known here of
any common plan Of action upon the part
of Russia, France or Spain in the Trans
vaal question. In any case. 1t may be
positively stated that no such plans have
been brought to the knowledge of the
German Government from any quarter
whatever, and therefore 1t has never been
in the position to reject any such or
similar proposals."

BRITISH TROOPS CLAIM TO
HAVE SLAUGHTERED BOERS

ESTCOURT, Natal. Sunday, Nov. 81 80
D. ma reliable native has brought con-
firmatory evidence of Fridays fight south
of Ladysmith. A reconnaissance in force
was made by British division. the OBJ
ject being to relieve the Colenso column,
which had been attacked by the Beers.
The British infantry charged the Beers,
who were strongly posted on Globerskloof
HILL and drove them down on the plain
toward the Tagula River, when the
British cavalry, executing a fine fanking
movement, charged the Beers. almost an
initiating them. The plain was strewn
with dead Beers. An armored train has
again left for Colenso with company of
the Dublin Fusileers and a railroad en-
gineering staff to repair the line. No fight
ing is supposed to have occurred Satur-
day. as no firing was heard.
ESTCOURT, Natal, Sunday evening.
Nov. Sit is now possible to furnish off,
cial details of Fridays fighting around
Ladysmith. The Boer artillery fire was
accurate and well sustained but ineffec-
tive. The British cavalry was constantly
out the investment not being close
enough to prevent this. Cavalry and ar
tillery under Colonel Brockehurst about
noon drove the enemy away from all
their positions with great slaughter. This
attack was directed against a reported
move Of the enemy toward harrisburg.
The artillery shelled three of the enemy 8
guns into silence. The British casualties
were slight.
The Beers are now shelling the town.
Their artillery Is well handled, but is
doing little damage. The Beers profited
by a flag of truce on Thursday to send
in a Transvaal artillery officer, disguised
as an ambulance driver. with the wound
ed. to observe the action Of the Boer
artillery fire.

HOPE TOWN, Cape Colony, Saturday
Nov A dispatch which has been re-
ceived here from Kimberley dated No
vember l says:
Apparently the Boer reinforcements
from Mafeking have arrived, as the bur-
ghers are more numerous and closer
around Kimberley. About 1900 Of them
made a demonstration three miles east
ward at Premier mine to-day and opened
fire on the De Beers carts, but no damage
was done.
"The explosion OF the dynamite maga-
zine, caused by the Beers firing the place,
was terrific. The huts contained thirty
Ave tons of dynamite, valued at 935O0.
"All the wounded are progressing salts

BOERS ROUTED WITH
VERY HEAVY LOSSES

LONDON, Nov. S.-Evidently more de-
tailed reports Of General Whites doings
at Ladysmith must be received before the
public will be able to form a clear idea
of what has happened. Reports from va
rious sources show that another impor-
tant reconnaissance or engagement oc-
CURED on Saturday to the south of Lady
NTH, and a Cape Town newspaper re-
ports that 20O0 Beers were captured there
The suggestion of Sir Redvers Butler
in his dispatch to the War Office on Sun
day that the name of General French had
been given by mistake for that of Col
onel Brocltehurst in advices to him by
pigeon post from Durham is now explained
by a dispatch from PietermaritZburg which
says that General French has left Dur
ban for Cape Colony. Evidently General
Butler was aware Of this.
The Daily Telegraph publishes the fol-
lowing dispatch from Petermaritzburg,
dated Saturday evening:
"Since their occupation OF Colenso the
Beers have attempted no advance further
south. Estcourt is now becoming a strong
and growing camp. Major Wolfe Murray
is In temporary command. The enemy
bombarded Colenso on Thursday until
sunset at the extreme range of nine CEN
timeter Krupp guns.
Confirmation has been obtained Of the
Boer commander at Vryburg A general
Boer advance is not thought probable
Means have been taken to secure Pieter-
maritzburg against any possible attack
and also to relieve Ladysmith before the
enemy can come farther
whispered rumors of both Dutch and
native origin have been current since yes

Ladysmith northward, toward Malta

ish troops engaged the enemy. It Is said
that a lyddite battery drove the Beers
into a valley, where the British cavalry

engagement are said to have reached 1000.
the British losses being only about 100.
"It is a fact that General Joubert drew
in his line to-day and that the Beers now
only have outposts at Colenso. Runners
are bringing the names of the Beers who
were killed and wounded outside Lady
smith. and their reports have caused
much mourning among the relatives.
According to special dispatches from
Estcourt, the Beers on Thursday asked
DAVIS armistice. General White agreed
TO this on condition that they would
make no movement. The British military
balloon, however, detected Beers massing
to the south, and General White there
upon renewed the attack.
Boer reports have reached Cape Town
to the effect that on the arrival at
of the news of the Boer re-
verse at Glands Laagte, the whole Rand

STRENGTH OF THE BOERS
WAS UNDERESTIMATE

LONDON, Nov. THE confession last
evening of General Lord Wolseley, the
commander in chief, that the Beers were
more powerful and more numerous than
had been anticipated. sufficiently ex-

War Office will hereafter have awkward
questions to answer in regard to it's ap-
parent colossal ignorance Of the Boer
strength, which both In number Of men
and excellence of artillery is apparently

authorities. Mail news from South Africa
shows how inaccurate have been the esti-
