The war department today gave out the

From General ForesterW Walkers dis
patch it proved that all reports of Me-
thuen's advance after the battle of Mod
der river were premature, though with
the railroad working he should not be
long in constructing temporary bridges
His enforced delay doubtless will be Of
considerable service in giving his hard
pushed column a needful rest and in
allowing the arrival Of reinforcements. of
which he must be sorely in need after
three such fights, placing hors de combat
upwards of 1000 men out of less than
1000.
Forester Walkers announcement that
the Canadian marksn1en and other re-
Inducements have been pushed forward
to the neighborhood of the Orange river
to protect Methuens line of communiea
ton has relieved much anxiety. where it
was fully expected the Beers would at
tempt to attack the vulnerable points of
the line of communication.
The latest news from Natal indicates
that the bulk of the Ladysmith relief
forces has arrived at Frere, though there
is considerable conjecture as to the
whereabouts of General Cleary. whose
movements have not been chronicled re-
Gently, It is surmised in some quarters
that he may reappear in totally un-
expected quarter on the flank or rear of
General Joubert's force, which is sup
posed to be concentrated at Grobelaar's
Klof. north of Tugela river.
AS Hiydard's advance guard was in
touch with the Beers as long ago as Tues
day last. developments should not be long
delayed.
Dundonalds mounted force, Nov. %,
accompanied by four guns, went in pur-
suit of a body of Beers returning to Col

two and a half miles of Coenso, when the
Beers replied to the British shells with

He communicated his suspicious to his

Mrs. Madden saw him sitting beneath

Clark went TO Mrs. Madden and ascer-
tanned precisely what had happened.
Clark went back to tell his wife what
had happened. He found a boy there
who had carried a note given him by
young woman at Sixty-secord street

clear that the child was kidnapped for
the sake of rarsom, and warned Clark
that if he notified the police or let it
get into the newspapers he should never
see his child alive again. The mental

the idea, writes: Your inference that it
is my preference that home to be pur-
chased by the free-will offerings CT
Americans for the admiral of the navy
should be occupied by Admiral Dewey
as long as he remains at the head of
the navy and then to pass to his sue
cessors is entirely correct, and 1 agree
with you further that in that form it
would be more acceptable to Admiral
Dewey.
