They Defy Gen. Roberts
Proclamation.
.BOTHA'S STRONG POST
Siege of Ladybrand-- Beers Raid
ing Railway--Again on Old
Fighting Ground.

NEW YORK. September "a dis
patch to the Tribune from London
says:
AS if in. defiance of the annexation
proclamation, the Boer resistance is as
suming fresh activity in various quar-
ters. General Buffers column has been
fighting continuously since August 21st
and now finds it's progress blocked by
Botha among the Lydenburg mountains
in a position which is described as
stronger than Vaal Krantz or Laing's
Mex. The fighting on Sunday and Mon
day made no impression on Botha's
force, which probably will be able to
hold out against frontal attack. But
Lord Roberts hopes to turn them out
by flank movement, according to
some newspaper correspondents. This
win be the last stand of the Transvaal
Beers. who will not retreat further
northward owing TO the hostility of
the natives.
1t is curious that General Roberts
recent dispatches contain no reference
to fighting in the Orange River colony,
which has been serious. Ladybrand,
with it's garrison of 80 men, had been
besieged by strong force of Beers and
has made a desperate and probably
successful resistance. According to a
Reuter- telegram yesterday the siege
has been raised By the Beers

engagement near the Water Works on
Sunday, in the Central Free State.
Beers, supposed to be under De Wet

and captured train of trucks carrying
