NATAL MENA CED BY BoERs,
Commands Said to BE Pouring Through
the Passes.


London, April 10.-Natal again is
gravely menaced by the Beers. Com
mandos are reported to be pouring
through the passes and to be advanc-
ing with transports and guns in the di-
rection of Gen. Buffers army. In La
dysmith it is believed that the rein
vigorated Boer forces mean either to
attack the British at once or to scatter
over Natal in such a manner as to
render any northward movement by
Gen. Butler extremely hazardous. Ac-
cordlng to reports which continue to
come in, the burghers in the Orange
Free State are still digging up their
rifles and rejoining the allied fighting
forces. Even the most sanguine of
London military writer's are beginning
to acknowledge that the apparent joy
with which the Orange Free-Staters
accepted deliverance from the domina-
tion OF the Transvaalers was purely
fictitious. There are rumors from Cape
Town that the telegraph wires were
already cut and also that the hussars,
who were sent to the relief of the
Royal Irish rifles, are also missing.
The attempt of Gen. Colville to catch
the Boer leaders in conference at Reit-
'fontein failed probably, as usual, be-
cause of the lack of cavalry. The re-
suits of these serious checks to the
British arms is that the whole Free
State is up again and that the Beers
are full of activity over the entire field.
A belated Boer dispatch says that bay
onets were being made for the foreign
legion under the late Gen. De VillebOis
Mareuil. The Beers are boasting that
the Colesberg and Stormberg COM
mandos, numbering 5000, with ten
cannon and $50 wagons, have gotten
safely through, thus performing a
magnificent strategic feat" The
Beers have demanded Gen. Brabant's s
surrender after fierce attack on his
column at Wepener on the Basuto
border Thus far Gen. Brabant has re-
fused to comply with the demand. A
brother of President Steyn was cap
tured in the neighborhood of Karee
siding yesteday. F. r. Burnham, the
American Scout serving with Gen.
Roberts, was captured by the Beers
near the Bloemfontein waterworks,
but he escaped from his captors when
they were ten miles from Winburg, to
which place the Beers were fastening,
as they expected that an attempt
would be made to recapture their pris-
oners

Gould Family Lawxer Dies.

Paris, April 10.-A curious story has
just come to light respecting Count
Boni Castellane's last return from
America. 1t appears that he and the
Countess were accompanied from the
states by legal representative of the
Gould family, who had instructions to
examine into Boni's debts and pay
them, but not let him have the money
to fool away. Soon after their arrival
in Paris, however, the lawyer caught
pneumonia and he has just died at the
Grand hotel.

Guiding forty-two horses, eighteen Of

perate efforts to save Gregory, but fin.

fate. Lazarus. a promising trotter
with a record of 2:20, was among the
horses burned. The loss amounts to
over 10000, partly insured. The fire

BRABANT'S MEN AT WEPENER,
Strong Forcs, But Cut or from Other
Bsltish Dlvisions-Excitement Among
BasutOS-They VIII Oppose Invasion
by Burghers.

Soudan, April 10-A special from
Maseru says the Beers who were mass
ed last week near Ladybrand to the
number of 10000, after seizing Thaba
N'Chu and the Modder River water
works, broke up into strong divisions,
and they are now raiding in the south
of the Free State, re-occupying the
small towns which were evacuated by
the British The Beers policy seems
to be to make rapid movements, with
little transport, looting English farm
ers and storekeepers freely for provi-
sions and cutting the communications
of the British forces. General Bra
bant's colonials are now mostly at
Wepener. They are splendid force,
capable Of great striking power and
used to cross country riding and are
able to deal roughly with the Boer
commanders now roaming about the
country. A squadron of Brabants
horse captured 400 rifles near Wepen-
er. His outposts are reported to be in
touch with the Beers and fight is
regarded as imminent. Persistent re-
ports are being circulated that the
Beers are preparing to flank the Brit
ish position at Wepener and thus to
secure entrance into Basutoland. Such
an attempt will be resisted by the
Basutoland government, which, it is
believed, has made quiet preparations.
Meanwhile the approach of the armies
to Basutoland produces much excite
ment among the natives, necessitating
the utmost vigilance on the part of the
local officials

KRUGER AND WOMAN'S WILES
The Old Boer Is Not Moved by the
Woman Interviewer.

Woman Interviewer.
It's many a long day since the su-
perior of Miss Jessie Ackerman as a
temperance orator has talked to
Hartford audience. Miss Ackerman's
silver tongue held 500 people spell
bound in Unity Hall, Sunday after
noon, while its owner described her
observations recently among the Beers.
Later she met President Kruger.
She explained that she is herself
nearly two yards tall" and said that
Uncle Paul is many inches taller. He
"is nearly as long east and west as
he is north and south, and so there
is considerable to the President" He
is not so clean as the men in Hart
ford drawing rooms, and he has the
Galways or underground under his
Jaws from ear to ear so conspicuous
in his pictures. But he has memoir
able, massive, powerful face. Miss
Ackerman has seen Gladstone, the iron
Bismarck and the marvellous Ii Hung
Chang, and she includes Kruger's face
with those of these Titans, whom she
styles 1.-The three men of the century"
She wished to interview Dom Paul on
the absorbing issues in South Africa,

exhibits are, naturally, within this reg

therefore they must abide by the rules
established. The United States pavi-

the question of it's being opened or

Peck's desire. He probably will an

place of origin, where it arrived a
fortnight after its original departure,
