It is admitted that if the Beare make a strong attack on Vryburg, south of Mafeking, it cannot be withstood. • . An 'Edinburgh paper, the Scotsmen, of Friday morning asserts that a battle hes been engaged between neneraf Sir (large Stewart, White, conamanding the forces in Natal, and the Boers who entered Natal by the way of Van- Reenan's pass. General Wh•te, the noutsman says, Os very sanguine of the success of the British movement. The foregoing report is considered to be correct, as iaie Thursday night, the War Office had news of a British ad- vance from Ladysmith, and was hourly expecting further intelligent:a. WRECKED AN ARMOURED TRAIN. be Bzers wrecked an armoured Brit- ish train north of Vryburg and then shelled it. The train was en route tram Cape Town to Mafeking.The st Boers muhave had acourate informa- tion of the intended movements of train. Two seven -pounder guns, w were on the train, and which were ended to strengthen the defences :faking, were captured, by the Bo A.1 the, men in charge or the tr with the exception of the eng driver, were captured, but no det as to casualties have been rani although one report states that fift soldiers were killed. The fact that another train, having on board, 300 woman and; children, re- fugees frorn Mafeking, was due to pass Vryburg abuot the time of the dis- aster, led. to the surmise that this was the train, that had been derailed. Late telegrams, however, announced • that this train had passed the .Boer camps and arrived at Kimberley in safety, the wreaked train being the one tra- velling in the other direction with the gums, as stated. BOERS HAVE THIRTY MAXIMS. A despatch from London says :— Hiram Sievem,s Maxim, chief engineer nd director of the Maxim-Nordenfeldt Guns and Ammunition Cornpany, imited, in the course of an interview n Friday said: "So Ear as I am aware, the Boers it - h need not fear the Boer artillery, , which has always proved a source of veakness rather than strength to the urghers." After warmly approving armoured rains and pointing out how useful hey had been to the Americans in the bilippines, he went on to say: The Boers remind me of the people the Southern States of the An:tart- an Union. They are excellent marks - en, and as good. fighters as can be oencl anywhere in the world. How- yean one ever fouglit better than the outheruers, and yet they lost.

A despatch front Paris, saes:- — A great geusatiou has been eansed here by the murder of an Englishman nam- ed Derrick by French detectives at Dieppe. Derrick was so shockingly injured that an uunsual surgioal operation had to be performed upon him, with the result that gangreee in- tervened and he died. • Derrick was set upon at the same time as bis master, a wealthy Eng - nehmen nemed, Capt.

BOERS AFTER OECIL RHODES. A despatch to the London Daily Mail from. Cape Town nunday even- ing says that the Boers have cut the railway at Belmont, 56 miles south of Kinaberley, and also at a point 12 miles to the southward of Kinabeeley. The strong detending force at Mod - der bridge, which is 21 Inile.s south of Kimberley, and between the places where the line is out, is likely to be attacked. The Boers have seized the railway state= at SpylonLein, which is near Kimberley, and fortified it with earth- works. The object of their energetic operation is believed to be the cap- ture of Mr. Cecil Rhodes. OMINOUS SIGNS AT CAPE TOWN. Ominous signs are already seen here., The Duteh population of Oape Colony are likely to develop a strong anti- British feeling at the first report of a British reverse. When the report reached here that the Ninth Lancers had been driven back by gales they said: "Already God fights on the leoer side," The Free State Boers now see a chance to satisfy their rankling longing to retake Kimberley, their Alsace-Lorraine. 1VIAFEKING COMPLETELY ISO- LATED. Mafeking is now completely isolat- ed. The Boers are raiding Zulu cat- tle, A. large number of newspaper cor- respondents in Cape Town are unable to get into the interior. It in reported that Gore Joubert positively refuses to allow any war correspondents of Eng. liab newspapers to follow the Boer army, claiming that they cannot but injere the cause of the Tranevaal by giving information to the British.

A despatch frnm. Victoria, B.C., says: —The steamer Empress of India, which has reached here from Japan, has com- pleted the roughest trip of her 43 voy- ages. The second day out from Yoko- hama she encountered a typhoon, which destroyed communication be- tween the engine -room and bridges, and destroyed some of the boats. Tbe storm continued unabated all day and night. Fears are expressed by officers for the transport steamer Senator, carry- ing herne the Fifty-first Iowa. She left Yokohama for San Francisco eight hours before the Empress, and, having immense upper works, would fare bad- ly in a. gale, TENDERS FOR SUPPLIES. War Office 'Wants Bids From Canadian Canners.
