IN BOER HANDS
Colenso Captured by the Forces of Dom
Paul

Estcourt. Natal, November 6-Colenso is
now IN the hands of the Beers. Before the
evacuation was decided upon the enemy
tried to cut off our outposts. The Durham
light infantry, under Ideutent Molyneaux,
and a force of Dublin Fusileers, were sent
to the relief of the outposts and a brisk
fight ensued. The Beers were repulsed,
leaving twelve dead. Twenty Boer horses
were killed and others stampeded.
The chief motive for the withdrawal
however was that the long range guns of
the Beers had made THE position unten-
able No orders were received for retire
ment.
While retirement was in progress the
Natal volunteers at Fort Wylie had great
difficulty In getting away their nine-pound-
Ell i'm the dark. They were advised to spike
the gun, but were exceedingly unwilling to
do this, resolving to make a determined
effort to take it with them. While thney
were running the gun on its carriage down
a hill the ropes broke and gun and carriage
rushed on, the latter being smashed at the
bottom of the incline Nothing daunted,
the pucky fellows undertook to carry the
weapon itself. which had not been dam
aged, and they got it here safely. The
Beers shelled Colenso ait dawn today, being
unaware of the evacuation. They looted
the stores, but did not harm the bridges,
saying that they would want the railway
themselves. n
The women and children here are crowd
ing the trains bound for Pietermaritzburg
and Durham.

say that Mr.. Hill was trying to do this
But If, as l hear, Senator Hill takes 1t to
himself, 1 ann not to blame for this. I
merely said certain men up the state were
trying to injure the democratic party in
| this way. If Mr.. Hill gets angry about
that statement 1 cannot help it, and l cam
not be blamed for any conclusion or infer
ence people may draw from his getting
mad"

Washington, Nov. l6.-The indica.

tiations looking to permanent ad.
justment OF the Alaskan boundary
question. 1t can be stated positively
that there have been absolutely no ex.
changes on this subject between the
two governments since the return to
this country OF Lord Paun cefote. The
modus vivendi, which was adopted to
define temporarily the respective
rights Of the two parties, is working
satisfactorily, and there is said to be
no reason just now for pressing for
ward towards a solution Of the per-
manent boundary issue. The admins
tration has about convinced itself that
there Is little chance of securing the
approval Of the senate to any per-
manent treaty defining the boundary
line, which would secure the adhesion
of Canada, and it is feared that even
moderate proposition looking towards
a compromise could not be framed that
would receive the approval of both
parties This Is believed to be true
only Of the present time.
