IT Is FULL OF HAROSHIPS,
Lawton's Energetic Campaign Tells on
American Soldiers.

american oOlulorSs
Officers and soldiers arriving at Cab
anatuan from General Lawton's force,
says a Manila dispatch, describe the
campaign as one of great hardships.
Many men, dropping out sick, were
left at various towns without ade-
quate supplies, and some of them were
making their way back across the ter
rible roads. A number of horses were
dying and many of the soldiers, and
even some of the officers, were march
ing on half naked, their clothing hav-
ing been torn to pieces in getting
through the junglcs. Some of them
were reduced almost to breech clouts,
and hundreds were barefooted, their
shoes being worn out, and all were
living on any sort Of provisions. Bread
was rare and caraboa meat and La
nanas were the staples.
General Lawton foresaw that the
campaign would involve such hard
ships, but he considered it the quick
est and cheapest way of ending the
war.

The followiry Is from the genera

Saturday at 8 a. m. the officer com
handing IA northern outposts report.
cd that the enemy's mounted patrol,
were advancing across the whole conn
try from Gourton road to Ulandi. NOV
ing on Estcourt. My force stood 10
arms. The outposts reported various
bodies, from 800 to 700 strong, advanc.
ing on Estcourt from a n~orthwcsterIy
direction. One party, 500 strong,
moved toward the railway bridge, half
a mile northwest of Estcourt.
Our outposts fred on the enemy,
and one of our naval guns fred a shell
ut 5000 yards range, the shell burst
ing close to the enemy, who then hur-
ricdly retired.
"At ~ o'clock reports were received
from three pickets that q large num-
Der OF Beers were in sight on a hill
above Leslic's homestead. The troops
returned TO camp"
A dispatch from Estcourt, dated No
vembcr 10, says:
"All Is quiet here. The enemy Is be-
licvcd to be cncamped six miles away.
Our positian is good and our forces
are sufficiently strong to rcpulse at
tack"
The Beers occupied Burghersdorf on
Tuesday, November IA, and IL Is be-
licved that they were then on the way
to seize Stormburg Junction.
Sir Alfred Miner, governor of Cape
Colony, and British high com missioner,
has issued a proclamation declaring
that the Boer proclamations, ~annexing
territory, impressing men or Selling
goods, are null and void and should
not be obeyed. He promises full recog-
milton and OF fair compensation for
actual injury resulting from royal adj
herence to British allegiance.
Mr.. w. =. Shrciner. the premier, has
instructed all civil commissioners to
announce that there Is no intention to
call out the burgher forces in the coll
ony, as the colonial government con
siders the military force of the crown
sufficient to preserve order and rcpel
invasion.
Ordinary citizens" the premier de-
clares, ARE only expected to remain
loyal and not to give c~ountenance to
the enemy"
Judging from present indications so
far from there being a prospect of q
Dutch rising, the fact is that many of
the Cape Dutch are so incensed ut the
loss OF their property and the destruc-
ton OF railways and bridges that they
are even beginning to force the annex
alton OF the two republics. Our promi-
nent politician goes so far as to say it
may possibly happen that the out
landers will be the chief opponents Of
annexation.

Rumorssso n Fight at Ladysmith I'm
conarmed-Boers Invade Natal.
The reports of heavy fighting at La.
dysmitb Wednesday have not been
confirmed. On the contrary, the most
reliable advices from Estcourt indicate
that there was nothing more than a
desultory cannonade. Probably the
rumor of a serious engagement grew
out of the fact that the Beers threw a
few harmless shells late Tuesday night,
leading to the supposition that an at
tack was imminent. Nothing, how
ever, happened Wednesday. Beyond
the fact that the Beers are daily re-
ceiving fresh reinforcements and sup
plies, there is practically nothing new
from the front.
The Boer invasion Of Cape Colony
continues steadily and rapidly. There
are 1900 Beers at Golesberg, and news
