FIGHTING AT 1111511113 31111011.
Two Thousand Boers Put English
Troops In Danger, but Finally.
Are .Repnlsed—Basuto Natives
Join In the Fighting.
LONDON, Oct. 20.—The War office last
evening issued the following bulletin:
“No news. of importance has been re-
ceived from Natal today. The cavalry
attached to our forces at Ladysmith and
Dundee are engaged in observing the ene-
my’s movements. Steps have been taken
to secure Pietermaritzburg and Durban
against raids on the western frontier.
“There is no recent reliable intelligence
from Kimberley or Mafeking, both places .
being cut off from railway and telegraph-
ic communication. It is believed, howev-
er, that a skirmish took place on Sunday
six miles south of Kimbe11ey and that the
Boers were beaten off with some loss by
an armored train. There was some fight-
ing at Mafeking on Friday or Saturday,
ending with a repulse of the attackihg
force.
“Boers in considerable numbers are as-
sembled opposite Aliwal North and Be-
thula, on the Orange river. Railway
communication with the Orange Free
State and the Transvaal has now ceased,
the remaining refugees having been
warned to leave by way of Delagoa bay.”
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Mail, telegraphing at 10 o’clock
Thursday night, says:
“Vryburg surrendered Sunday. To-
night’s dispatches from Kuruman, 90
miles west by south of Vryburg,state
that, the police having withdrawn from
Vryburg, the town surrendered to the
Boers, the inhabitants fleeing in all direc-
tions, mostly toward Kuruman. When
the police withdrew, the Cape Boers noti-
fied the fact to the enemy, thus inviting
them to take possession. There was a
fearful panic. The British are wildly in-
dignant at this scuttling.
“The Boers are boasting that they will
hold fancy dress balls and masquerade
in British uniforms at Cape Town and
Durban by the end of October.
“Another £25,000 of Transvaal. gold
has been seized aboard the steamer Av-
ondale Castle at Delagoa bay.”
The Daily Mail’s Cape'Town corre-
spondent also says that a refugee who
has reached Grahamstown from the
Rand states that a train arrived at Jo-
hannesburg on Monday from Klerksdorp
with 300 wounded burghers. Every avail-
able conveyance, the refugee says, was
called into requisition to take the wound-
ed men to the hospital.
The Daily Mail suggests that these
wounded were from Mafeking.
The Pietermaritzburg correspondent of
The Daily Mail, in a dispatch, dated
Thrusday, says:
“The brunt of the fighting at Hostel" 5
station yesterday was sustained by the
volunteer patrols. The fighting was
Brisk. The Boers numbered 2,000.
"The volunteers at one moment were in
great peril. being nearly cut off, but the
officers handled their men splendidly, and
the Maxims effectively stopped the Boer
rushes. The Boer shooting was wretch-
ed. The volunteers lost their kit, and al-
together the experience was a pretty try-
ing one. Our men were in the saddle
three days and two nights, with hardly a
rest. Basuto--natives were fighting with
the Boers. It is reported that 16 Boers
were killed. .
“Lieutenant Gallwey, who is reported
missing, is the eldest son of Sir M. H.
(’iallwey, chief justice of Natal. He is
supposed to be in hiding, and searching
parties have been sent out to try to find
1111.
"The cavalry are still bivouacking out,
and slight skirmishes are frequent.”
Boers Defeated nt Spruitfontein.
ORANGE RIVER, Oct. 20.—The
Boers suffered a reverse on Sunday at
Spruitfontein, ten miles south of Kim-
berley. An armored train went out to
bring in a train reported to have been
captured by the Boers near the. Spruit-
fontein siding. A par’gv of Boers who
were encamped near by lowered the rail-
way signal and displayed a white flag,
apparently with the idea of inducing the
driver to proceed.» The driver suspect-
ed that the Boers were in possession and
stopped the train, whereupon the Boers
issued in large force and opened fire, but
without any efiect. The soldiers replied
from the train, and about half a dozen
.loers were killed. The British were
unscratched.
Seven hundred Boers surprised a par—
ty of 13 Cape Colony police who were
guarding the railway at River-ton road,
.18 miles north of Kimberley, on Sunday
morning. The police retired. A terrific
explosion was heard later, and it is be-
lieved that the. Boers blew up the sta-
. tion.

BEGINNING OF NORTHERN CAMPAIGN.
The Expedition Consists of. Nearly
Three Thousand Men and Two
Gunbouts—The Third Cavalry
Preparing to Join.
MANILA, 'Oct. 20.—An engagement
has taken place at San Isidro between
the forces of General Young and the in-
surgents under General Pio del Pilar.
The rebels were defeated, as usual.
Their loss is not known. The American
casualties were only three men wounded.
General Lawton and General Young
left Arayat with a force of nearly 3,000
men. The gunboats Florida and Oestere
are preparing to move along the river to
San Isidro, which will be held as a base
for operations in the north.
General Lawton’s force consists of
eight companies of the Twenty-fourth
infantry, under Colonel Keller; eight
companies of the Twenty-second infan-
try, under Major Baldwin; nine troops of
the Fourth cavdry, mounted, under Colo-
nel Hayes, and a mixed regiment consist-
ing of one company of the Thirty-seventh
infantry; six guns, commanded "by Cap-
tain Batson’s Macabebee scouts. The
Third cavalry is equipping at San Fer-
nando to join the expedition.
COMMISSIONERS RETURN.
Dean Worcester and Colonel Denby
Home From the Philippines.
VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 20.—Two pas-
sengers arriving by the Empress of Ja-
pan from the orient and who passed east
yesterday were Colonel Denby and Pro-
fessor Dean C. Worcester, members of
the commission appointed by President
McKinley just before the opening of the
present strife with the Filipinos to act
in conjunction with President Schurman,
Who has already returned and reported,
Admiral Dewey and General Otis as an
advisory board for the Philippines. Colo-
nel Denby and Professor Worcester are
now on their way to Washington. Hav-
ing left Manila by the steamship Yawati
Maru on Sept. 18, they are complying
with a summons by telegraph from Pres-
ident McKinley to attend a final meet-
ing of the commission, at which all the
members will be present with the excep-
tion of General Otis, who, as Professor
Worcester explains, “is still busy.”
Professor Worcester also took occasion
to deny the reports given from Manila
to the press of America with- reference
to the large and increasing number of
Aguinaldo’s army. “The insurgent
troops,” he said, “do not number more
than 15,000 men.” As to the state of
affairs—military or political—in the is-
lands Professor Worcester declined to
speak. He also politely declined to dis-
cuss General Otis or' his management of
the campaign against the insurgents.
Politics and Spiritualism.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.——Expausion, impe-
rialism and adherence to the Declaration
of Independence were the rocks upop
which the National Spiritualist associa—
tion came dangerously near foundering at
yesterday’s session. Lack of patriotism,
disrespect of the constitution and disloy-
alty to the flag were some of the charges
made against members. So bitter did the
fight become that it w as only the firm rul-
ing of President Barrett that prevented
a rupture. The occasion of the wrangle
was the presentation of the report of the
committee on resolutions, which was to
all intents and purposes a committee on
political action. The resolution submitted
by the committee, but finally withdrawn,
censured President McKinley for the
course he is pursuing in regard to the
Philippine Islands and extending the
sympathy of the association to the Filipi-
nos.
T’he Antis Organize.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20. —The committee
on permanent 01;. anization appointed by
the anti- -impe1ialist conference met here

ist league. Existing organizations will

work of securing new local organiza-
tions will be pushed all over the country.
The following were elected as officers of
the league: President, George S. Bout-
well of Massachusetts; vice presidents,
George F. Edmunds of Vermont, J.
Sterling Morton of Nebraska, Carl
Schurz of New York, Richard T. Crane
of Illinois, Donaldson Caffrey of Lou—
isiana, Rufus B. Smith of Ohio and John

erick W. Gookin of Illinois; secretary,
William J. M. Mizo of Illinois.
