This bas happened sooner than we expec Only the official account. is yet t band, but so far as can be gathere the -fighting appears to have been a most h repetition of the battle of Elandelsagte. A despatch of I he pre- vious clay estimated that the Boers in that vicinity numbered 2,000, and that they had five guns, and judging from the absence of any statement to the contrary in the official despatch it •is believed that the British were ,slightly superior in numbers to the enemy. The Boers had chosen a position with their customary skill and were strong- ly en trenched. The )3ritish were oblig- ed to carry three ridges in succession. Apparently the Guards bore the brunt in carrying the last ridge by a bayonet charge after its defenders had been shaken with shrapnel. While Gen. Miii ethuen can be con- gratulated upon a brilliant vctory, it rs again with a cost of a heavy loss of officers and inen. • FROM 1VIATEKING. the in a hich t The re - brie emy ad I ear om- ana but and heir r of rge and men was and dier ion euL at- ut. nd ed, nk On Nov. 1.3 enemy again phelled the hospital.

Toronto Harbour Commissioners' Storage tlng DCI4 trOZilsd. A despatch 'from Toronto says :—The large grain elevator occupied by the C. P. R., and situated at the foot of Bathurst street, was almost complete- ly destroyed by fire on Wednesday. The loss will be about $10,000, partly covered by $6,000 insurance. Henry AlcInerney, 44 Mitchell Ave., is under arrest,charged with having set the building on fire. Shortly after 5, o'clock Mrs. Hall, wife O,f the deputy ha.rbourmaster, who lives quite near the big elevator, saw four Men running away from the engine -house on the north side of the place. Almost immediately afterwards flames and smoke burst from the en- gine -house, which was a frame struo- , and an alarm was at once sent ` in. The Local hose sections were on (a) the spot very shortly, but by the time 1- they had coupled their hose to the hy- drants in the vicinity the flames had spread from the engine -house to the big elevator. When the firemen be- came aware of the proportions of the conflagration they sounded a general alarm, and soon the. whole strength of the department was on the scene. ' The building is owned by the Har- bor Commissioners, and was leaesd by them to the C.P.R. It has been empty for two years. II was erected in 1881, and was iron -coaled in 1896. The whole place is valued at about .310,250, and the storehouse and chute, worth a few hulaxh-ed dollars, alone escaped destruction. The fire was an excessively hot one, and it is a won- der that no firemen were prostrated. A despatch from M:afeking, says :— The investment of the town is very close. • The garrison is constant- ly harassed by the besiegers' fire., The water supply Was failing, and clysen- .. • tery was occurring as long ago as No- vember 8.. The Boers direct the fire of their big guns at tlae hospital and women's lacger at the monastery. One shell struck an inmate of the women's laager on Nov. 4 • The enemy unsuceessfully tried to benv up the town with dynamite. The explosive went off prematurely, kill- ing many Boers. A reconnaissance by Major Godling on Nov. 7 led to a hot mad prolonged fusillade. •One Englishman was wounded, but the • ,British loot heavily hi horses and cat- 41.0.,e'es 'gainon November 8 the enemy • shelled the hospital, killing a patient. Col. Baden-Powell sent a message for the fifth time, demanding immunity for tlie Red Cross, and threatening re - ;Insets, General Cronje deferred his SWer. •' Gen. Cronje answered Col. Baden- Powell's remonstrance against firing on the Red Cross, saying he fired on •the et:levant beettese it vvas occupied • by the British. He made to reply gegarding his firing on the hospital and. the women's laager. His explan- ation wee a lie. There is no military occupation of the convent, as he was told before hostilities. „ • On Nov. 10 heavy shelling was again resneled,ethe fire being mainly direct- • ed at the wonaen's Jaeger and hos- •pital.• •The town isPSovisioned fer several 'Months, Theeel is nothing to fear it the water leste.• • On Nov. 12 seven Cape police Arrived • With deepetehes froth the north a fere, eight Old, They -had been puesued by the Boe,re for ten days, SEEN AT ALL FIRES. P. C. Davidson atreested McInerney during the progresSeR the fire, acting on information received to the effeet that the man had been seen gathering a lot of loose paper in a box, and plac- ing the latter in a corner of the en- gine -house. If the prisoner is not a firebug, he has a mania for being pre- sent, al fires, and is a familiar figure at almost every blaze •of any cense- qaencel He has often been the first to send in the alarm, and has frequently appeared in the •newspaper columns in this eapacity. It will be remem- bered that he claimed to have discov- ered the late fire on Bay street, which caused so much comment. precinct Detective Porter has been on his tracks for some time past, and it is alleged that there is a strong case against him. —DEVOURED BY CANNIBALS, crews of Tell Shish at the Mercy or Man Eaters. A despatch from Norfolk, Va., says: —According to reports brought in on Monday, ten ships are ashore in the Straits ..of Magellan. The steamship Kurdistan reported six and the Heed- less reported four. Owing to • the heavy weather and the treacherous formation of the coast line, neither vessel dared approach, and the names of the wrecked steamships or fate of the crews could not be learned. The wreaks stretehed for several miles. The crews of the wrecked vessels may have been devoured by cannibals. The Kurdistan Was disabled ha the straits once and the erew Were Obliged to give battle to the a:nen-ceders. George C.

"The ,Boexs started shelling the Mooi river village at/ 1$0 this after- . Tbey were posted in two strong positions. "Their howitzers opened suddenly at a range of four miles. Their shooting was accaxate• Most of the ,shells dropped into our camp, but the 13oers could not get within rifle range. , 'We opened fire upon a party of 200 Boers, who were advanciag under cov- er of their guns, and they ineanediate- ly retired. A thunderstorni then in- terrupted the firing', We had three men wounded." BOERS HEMMED IN. A despatch from Cape Town, says: —General Trench, with 3,000 troops from Hanover road, and Generae Gat- acre'with a force `from Naauwpoort, are hemming in the Boers at Coles - berg. This will put an end to the com- mandeering of loyal British subjects by the Boerit in the northern part of the Cape Colony. SORTIE FROM KIMBERLEY. despatch from De Aar, says :—A despatch rider who has arrived here reports that all was well at Kimber- ley when he left that town. ' A sortie was made on Nov. 16, and toe British carried the advance works of the Boers. ' Nineteen of the enemy were killed. An Orange river despatch states that the British loss in the sortie was one killed and eight wounded. , HE CONTRIBUTES 350,000. A despatch from London, says :—An Australian, who wishes his name with- held, has given £10,000 to the war e fund. A Britisher, who prefers to re - 0 peered in the person of the potateeise tress of the town of Lady Grey, near the Free State border, When the Boors entered a few days ago she drove them off the premises and dared them to tonch colonial ProPeetY- "Ilae Boers holeted a Free State flag, and she tore it down and raised, the English flag. As fast as they hoisted proclamations annexing 'the district she tore them down and posted MU- ner's proclanaation against treason. The Boers finally left town. The triumpha.nt woman denounced them vigorously as they marched away, she remaining in. possession of the post - office and Government property. The .name of this brave wonaan has not been reported. ( A despatch from London, Thursday, says :—The Boers are now within for- ty miles of Pietermaritzburg, one re- port, indeed, placing them as far south as Nottingham road, a station 35 miles from the capital of Natal. They have seized the railway between Est- court and Mooi river, thus interposing between .Hildyard's garrison of about 2,000 men at the former place and Bar- ton's command, numbering about the same, at the latter place. The enemy has shelted the troops at 1Vloca river, but has apparently inflicted little damage. The Boers have wrecked the railroad at several points, and have secured valuable supplies by looting the farms throughout one of the moat prosper- ous parts of Natal. Their strength is unknown. According to English re- ports it is variously estimated at from 5,000 to 7,000 men. Whether any of General Joubert's command is includ- ed in the number is not known, but it is generally believed that the Free State commandos are being concen- trated. • The fact of their mounting guns seems to dispose of the idea{ that the'Y are merely raiding and wrecking. It s reasonable to assume that it is an advance in force for the purpose of hooking Gen. Clery before his concen- ration is complete, and that on the perations impending in the Mooi River district the immediate future of the war depends. The latest despatches show that the oers now control the railroad be-. ween the Mooi river and Estcourt. et anonymous, has undertaken to defray the cost of distributing all gifts to troops in South Africa.

The Boers have destroy- ed the dam west of the railway laridg,e, and the piers of the latter have also been destroyed. General Buller orders all officers tp dress like their 'nen as fax as possible, and have all badges of rank removed, The oceupation of Aliwal North was evidently a preconeerted movement be- tween the enemy and their sympa- thizers in the town, The failure to pro- claim martial law in all the disturb- ed districts is responsible for the pre- sent situation, and is likely to result ie. a further spreading of the movement The Boers at Sterkstroora and, else- . where are openly conducting target practice, and the military authorities are powerless to interfere.

The exact size of the Boerforce General Methuen is to meet is un- known, the estimates ranging from 5,000 to 15,000. In any event, thel battle ' is sure to be a serious one. 1 The Times announces that it is au- thorized to deny the statenient recent- ly made by a French newspaper that Prince Louis Napoleon, who is a col.. o onel in the Russian army, desired, to ijdol:a:he Boers, and asked Emperor Nicholas for permission.
