LONDON, Oct. 14-Gen. Sir Redvers Bull
Ter. who will have the chief command in
South Africa, accompanied by his staff left
Waterloo station this afternoon for South
ampton to go on board the Dunottar Castle.
His departure was the occasion for another
patriotic demonstration. General Butler ar
rived at the station at las p. m. With
great difficulty his carriage forced its way
through the crowds that blocked every ap-
proach. The people swarmed everywhere
and gave the station the appearance of
veritable bee hive.
Constant cheers marked the approach of
the royal carriages containing the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Cambridge; and
when Sir Redvers Butler alighted and APP
peared in the doorway of the station to re-
ceive the prince and his former commander
in-chef. enthusiasm knew no bounds. The
immense waiting room temporarily con-
verted into reception room where the sec
retary of state for war. Lord Lansdowne.
Lord Wolseley. Lord wyndham, parliament
tary under secretary of state for war. Gen.
Sir Evelyn Wood. Col. Lord Paul Methuf
and host of other celebrities were gathered
to bid farewell to General Butler. The
Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge
accompanied him to the train.
Meanwhile. the people filled every availa-
BILE spot within the station. hanging even
from the rafters. Thousands of throats
took up the cries Good luck.' and RE
member Majuba!' Everybody. the royal
personages included uncovered as the train
finally pulled out of the station.
At Southampton the arrival and embar-
kation of Gen. Sir Redvers Butler was the
occasion for a scene of frantic enthusiasm
Thousands OF townspeope and visitors
. swarmed near the quay. where the mayor
of Southampton welcomed General Butler,
amid deafening cheers and the waving of
handkerchiefs, hats and walking sticks. Sir
Redvers smiingly acknowledged the dem
onstration and went Immediately on board
the steamer, entering the captains cabin,
where he bade farewell to Lady Butler and
his daughter. When the Dunottar Castle
sailed with General Butler and the others
standing on her deck the crowd cheered
themselves hoarse and sang God Save the
Queen as she glided out of the dock.

hours. with the odds greatly against the
British. The precise details are uncertain.
IL seems however that police patrol,
attracted by the firing. approached within
about two thousand yards of Kraaipan, saw
the train ditched, with the Boer artillery
still pounding at II. but noticed no response.
The Beers seemed afraid to approach until
the wreck was complete; and the police
patrol feared. as there were signs of
life near the train, that the entire force had
perished in desperate attempt to get the
train back to Mafeking. where they knew
II was anxiOusly awaited with its load Of
guns and ammunition 1t is reported the
Beers lost heavily. but there is no means of
verifying this. Two miles of rail were
blown up.
Captain Nesbitt, who was killed. belonged
to the Mashonaland mounted police. He
served In the Matabele war, during which
a daring exploit won him the Victoria
Cross. With thirteen men he fought his
way through the Matabele relieved a be-
leagured party and escorted them to Sails
bury. Three Of the party were killed and
five wounded. all the horses being killed
or wounded.
The latest reports from Vryburg say the
armored train contained. in addition to Mes
bits force. a number of workmen and six
residents of Marigogo. south of Mafeking
who. on hearing of the Boer advance. took
refuge in the train
A dispatch from Vryburg Bechuanaland,
dated Oct. u says: "An armored train.
which left here to-day with fifteen men,
two Nordenfeldts, unmounted. and a repair
ing party. was engaged by the enemy from
III o'clock this morlng to this afternoon.
The attempt to repair the line and commun-
ioate with Mafeking was not successful.
Firing was very brisk on both sides. Dur
ing the opening of the engagement artil-
itry fire was heard. This must have been
the artillery of the Beers whose numbers
are probably exaggerated. The train en-
gagged Is known as the mosquito train

"A dispatch from Cape Town. dated Oct

Struction Of the armored train was received
here with feelings of regret, mingled with
acmiration and praise for the pluck of Capt

sort OF apprehension among the people
thougn they are possibly in an angrier
mood Perfect confidence exists that all
will be right in the end despite the smari

Another dispatch from Vryburg saws:

Captain Nesbitt was slightly wounded, and
that the party in the train, whose number

CHAPLAINs ORDERED OUT.
Spiritual Advisers for the Army to
Sail for the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Oct. H-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Secretary
Root has ordered all the available chapains
in the army to the Philippines. When Con-
gress increased the strength of the army
from $500 to 10000 men. temporarily at
the last session, it failed to make provision
for any additional chaplains, overlooking
the clause limiting them to thirty. OF this
number at least ten of those holding COM
missions are superannuated and altogether
unfit for active service at domestic posts,
so the service has been rather short of spir-
itual advisers of late. Eight Of the regular
chaplains are already in General Otis's
army. With their denominations they are:
Capt. Henry Swift, Episcopalian; Capt
Charles c. Pierce, Episcopalian: Capt. WAL
ter Marvine, Episcopalian; Capt. Charles
w. Vreeland, Episcopalian: Capt. Patrick
j. Hart, Roman Catholic; Capt. Edward II.
Fitzgerald. Roman Catholic; Capt. Joseph
H. Sutherland, Presbyterian; Capt. j. A
Randolph, Methodist. There Is only one
other Roman Catholic in the service, Capt.
Edward j. Vattmann, who, as a result of
fever contracted in Cuba, is now on six
months sick leave. The. chaplains ordered
to-day. all of them having volunteered for
duty in the Philippines, are: Capt. John s.
Seibold. Episcopaiian; Capt Newell l..
