fective means Of communication but
simply to the fact that actually no in
formation is allowed to come. General
Butler and General White are once more
in direct communication with each other.
A very peculiar feeling is apparent in
the public mind, the strain of receiv-
ing no news for so long a time from the
seat of war and the certainty that the
armies are on the eve of a big engage
ment combining to make people very un
easy. Tflis was particularly remark
able first at the clubs. where the news
boards were eagerly scanned and left
each face disappointed. What, no news
again. What does it mean?' was heard
over and over again. The briefest and
best reply to be heard was "Busincss.'
That is the general conviction that the
lack of news means business At the
war office there We're more callers With
anxious faces than have been seen for
some time, but there was not one atom
of news and anxiety was only still fur
ther increased. In the stock exchange

Pretoria Natives Quiet.

Capetown, Friday. Nov 10, midnight .--
A dispatch from Pretoria dated Thurs
day, says the natives are quiet. They
have been called upon to plough the
farms of the absent burghers and are
responding willingly. "A prOclama ion
has been issued by the government deal
ing with the appointment of the officials
of the military administration with the
object of protecting life and property in
the territories now occupied by Trans

not be interfered with. A great amount
of lootng has occurred in the territories,
however, since the proclamation was is

Forced to Surrender.

fies to the splendid defense of the Royal
Irish fusileers and the Gloucester regi-
ment against an overwhelming force Of
Beers, who held positions on three sides
of the British troops Retirement on
the fourth side was impossible. as the
way was too precipitous and surrender
was the only alternative to annihlation,
as the Beers were on the point Of open
ing shell fire upon them. 1t was pa

their misfortune. several with fearful
eyes crying, Father. l would rather have

Commandant General Joubert ordered

that he assist the Bo erWounded, but ar
terward countermanded the order and
the chaplain was taken with the other
prisoners in wagons 90 miles to Wesch-

The Beers have a few tents and arc
thought to be suffering privations. While
in Pretoria Father Matthews understood
that President Kruger was about to visit
Natal to encourage the burghers there.
Many empty trucks have been Sent to

BOmbardment Ineffective.

Escourt. Natal, Friday, Nov. 10, even
ing.-The armored train has returned
from another trip on which Colenso was
reported. No Beers We're seen. On it's
way back the train picked up a native
running at I'reere, carrying number of
letters who had been searched by the
Beers. but had in some manner managed
to keep his documents from falling into
the hands of the searchers. This run
ner stated that Ladyslnth was bonn
barded on Thursday, Nov. . by six 40
Founders, one shot from which struck
Illing's store. The British big naval
guns were still silent when he left. Lit
tie damage was done by the Boer bonn
bardment and there We're few casualties.
The runner further said that the Beers
intend to visit Colenso tomorrow.
Another reconnaissance was made by
train day with a company OF the Boer
regiment on board. but nothing note
worthy occurred. 1t is reported on good
authority that large party of Beers
Travelled from Colenso to Cheveley and
then branched to the west. Another
party of Beers is reported to have visit

All the troops attended divine service

Taylor Makes Canvass.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 16. - Taylor s
friends have begun a quiet canvas of the
members of the legislature, sounding
them as to how they would vote on the
contest if the state election board should
throw out Knox, Johnson or Pulaski
counties and also l 100 votes cast in Nell
SON for w. P. instead of w. S. Taylor
1t is said four democratic members of the
house and at least six democratic mem
bers Of the senate have been found so far
who will not vote to seat GOebel. This
movement on TaylOr's side is construe d
to indicate the opinion that Goebel will
be given a certificate of election from the
state board. The story that Goebel has
decided to abandon the contest and enter
the fight against Blackburn for senator is
pronounced absurd by friends of both.

trated southwark from Colenso to Chive-
ley, where they are said to have cut the
railroad. shows, it is claimed, they are
adopting proper strategical plan to i'm
pede the advance of the British relieving
force.
Perhaps this may turn out to be Cen
eral Schalkburger's force which when
last heard from was raiding Zululand.
This force, it is asserted, may next be
heard from south of Estcourt, which
they will in all likelihood attempt to iso-
late before further reinforcements arrive.
Indeed, it is already reported the Boer
force has been seen in the neighborhood
Of the line north Of the Moo; river.
According to latest advices from British
sources at Estcourt, the Beers are suffer-
ing from lack of supplies though large
stores the British left when they evacu-
ated Newcastle and Dundee must have
been of great assistance to the Boer COM
mlssariat. But the task of maintaining
complete investment of Ladysmith is
probably proving onerous. Ladysmith
seems to be well provisioned and the en-
trenchments are daily being strength
ened.
The Beers have renamed Dundee "Mey-
ersdorp,' after General Lucas Meyer,
whose forces fought those of General
Symons there.
The greatest enthusiasm was shown
this morning at the departure at New
port of a mountain battery of royal artil-
lery, consisting of six guns Thousands
OF people lined the streets, cheering, and
the battery had difficulty in reaching the
train through the dense crowd. This was
the last mountain battery remaining in
England eight others being in India and
the tenth having been captured by the
Beers at Nicholsons Mex. Nothing is
known at the war office of the reported
death of Joubert.

DEATH OF JOUBERT.
WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN AN
IMMEDIATE ATTACK ON THE
BRITISH FORCES AT
LADYSMITH.

London, Nov. 16.-The most startling
news from the seat of war today is the
report of the death of General Piet Jou-
bert, comma nder- -chef of the Boer
forces. Though the report comes from
many different sources, it obviously
lacks confirmation. At the same time,
many people believe the report to be
we'll founded. as the generals death is
said to have occurred on November 9,
when the Boer riflemen We're understood
to be within 1,500 yards of Ladysmith.
AS severe fighting between the British
and Beers the same day has since been
reported, it is regarded in some quar-
ters as quite possible that Joubert, al
ways noted for his personal courage and
coolness. may have dangerously exposed
himself in personal reconnaissance of
the British position.
If Joubert was really killed on the bat
tlefeld it would seem to be the fitlast
death for such a gallant soldier. Even
his foes admit that he fought squal ely
and his action when General Symons
died in cabling his sympathy to the be-
reaved widow established him in high re-
gard Of all soldiers.
1t is claimed the death of JOube"t
would be likely to lead to the adoption
by the Beers of bolder and more active
tactics, as it is we'll known Joubert Nas
a cautious and conservative commander
and that he had considerable difficulty
in restraining his hOtheaded followers
The driblets of news bring Information
that Ladysmith was still under general
bombardment on Sunday from six 40
Founders, while the naval guns We're
silent. The Beers, it consequently ap-
pears have got more heavy guns into
place, while either the British amn,unl-
tion has given out or the British gun
ners are reserving their fire with view
of the poor practice made by the be-.
siegers.
