(Hat cars.) An order to evacuate was
received in Dundee at O'Clock this
morning. The Dutch and local miners
nave left their work in the Dundee dis
triet. Al the mines in this area here
nave been closed down, owing to the
alarm that the Beers are in the vicinity
or Dundee. Oliver Davis reports that
MS store in 1ngogo was looted BY the
Beers. He watched them enter New
castle on Sunday night and saw the ad-

south Of Newcastle

Private reports say that Boer column

have a beneficial effect in clearing the

The British Retired.

Pretoria, Oct. 15.--(Delayed in trans
mssion) )s-Dispatches received by the
government, say fighting continues north
of Mafekins. The British after a second
engagement retired in the direction Of the
town, but they resumed the attack shortly
afterwards, two burghers being killed
and three wounded. The commando en-
gagged was impeded, owing to the want Of
heavy artillery which was subsequently
obtained from Gen. Cronje.

CUBANs WELL PLEASED.
The Presidents Message Received

with Great satisfaction.
HAVANA. Dec, G-Prcsident McKinley's
message to Congress has been received
here with the greatest satisfaction, and
| the opinion is freely expressed that it will
efTectually quiet the island. The Cuban
revolutionary party is delighted, though
somewhat surprised by what is considered
the extreme clearness of the statements in
regard to the future of Cuba. The "Patria"
says that President Mckinley could not
have spoken clearer. The message. it adds
is the echo Of the joint resolution adopt
ed by Congress. 1t is impossible that the
greatest nation in history, the founder of
true democracy, would stultify its past by
overpOwering a weaker race"
La Discussion" says the message will
fill the hearts of Cubans in spite of the
miserable campaign that has been waged
by some miserable people to persuade the
United States to break its promises con-
tanned in the joint resolution. which Pres
ident Mckinley has ratified.
The convention of the Cuban League and
National party has passed a vote of geR-
eral congratulation on account OF the re-
/ cent mutual expressions OF friendship on
the part OF Generals Gomez Cisneros, and
Lacret. A committee of forty members
was elected by the convention to establish
committees of the National party in places
where they have not already been formed.
The 'Neuvo Pals" calls attention TO the
! poor attendance of councillors at the meet
ings Of the municipalities. Mayor Lacoste
| says that the councillors, who are unpaid
! all have to work for a living. Though they
are willing 10 serve the public, they can
not devote the time necessary for the quick
/ despatch Of business. Many matters, such
as the Dady contract, need an extended ex-
| animation of their details, all of which
work costs the public nothing. The mayor
would like to see fewer councillors, but
I would have them paid salaries.
