THE STRUGGLE IN AFRICA Little ctaEue in tbe Sitnatisn ia Natal or cn Western Barder. KIMBERLEY WAS SHELLED TUESDAY The Invasion of Cape Colony Mafe hint Garrison Holding His Own Xo Xews From Ladysmitb. Iisikin, Nov. 11. The day bat brought forth no great news, and little change baa taken place either in Natal or on the north and northwestern frontier ol Cape Colony. Tne chief fact it the opening cf the bombardment ol Kimlierley Tuesday by Free State artillery, .which proved, according to an ollicial statement, ntterly Ineffective. Tiie iloei investment of the town, how ever, Is sui, I to be tightening. Skirmish ing between the Kimberley mounted troops and the lioers early in the week resulted in severe Boer losses, the British force lobing one killed and one wounded. Advices Irom Orange river confirm the report of the F'ree Stale troops' advance upon the north ol Cape Colony, but, owing to the retirement of the British forces from the borderland, no serious collision has yet occurred. The coming week, however, Is certain to see import ant developments in this district. An ofllcial dispatch recording a skirmish near Uelinont, in w hlch Colonel Falconer wa killed, three other officers were wounded, one dangerously, and Uo privates slightly wounded, is far from clear. It it not known whether Colonel Falconer wat preparing tor a British ad vance or wa merely endeavoring to as certain the numbers of the Boer. Iipfttchet from Mafeking show that Colonel Baden-Powell's little force it still not merely holding itt own, but it daily inflicting more or less severe punishment upon the Boers, whose ar tillery has apparently proved valueless. Transports carrj ing 3(100 British troop are already en route to Purban, having passed Cape Tow n, and the Boers must stnke a dtcitive blow at I.silvs inith now or never. Situation at Natal. 1'siii'i 1. 1, Natal, Tuesday, Nov. 7. An armored train married by an engi neering stafland acci ui anyii.g the Pub iin liiKiliers, under Captain Hnisley, re turned here tonight. It reports that it found the stores at Frere looted, appar ently by Kaflifs, and met cyclist patrols, w bo ieorted that the Boers were cn tbe SprmguVid road, five miles away. The train proceeded cautiously, and found the ITiuspriiit hii,le intact. The train frequently stopped, and Captain Hens'ey examined the road ahead before pro weding. Nearing C0I1 no, the line was found cut a mile luuth of Colcnso. Two length of rail on each line had been lifted ud placed out of gauge. Informa tion obtained from Kaffir is that the Boer lelt tho vicinity of Colenso earls thit morning, proceeding in the direction of Biiluwan mountain, and Captain Hensley found Colenso absolutely deserted. A Coming Conflict I.omkin, Nov. 11. In connection with the reported Anglo-American under standing regarding an open door in China, Japan' attitude in far Kastern Asia is much canvassed. Severul Cor reniiondenls in China talk of a c mdng conllict between Japan and Ku'sia over Cores. A letter from Seoul, w hich ap pears in the Times Inlay, says: "The Japanese are convinced that to permit Russia to roiuiro Core or es tablish linssiaii a-MVrid.mcy In N irthern China would be strategically, politically and commeii ially n deadly menace to Japan's rapid1? developing strength. Japan believes her navy is strong enough to ntt.ick Russia, and the general opinion it that the interest of the two nations are to conflicting that it it im possible to avoid a rupture in the near future." . Dynamite in a Siore. Villus. Ia., Nov. 11. Clarence Bur rell.ton of Banker J. G. Burrell, wa Instantly killed today by an explosion of dynamite which wrecked the hank build and partially destioyed the Monitor general store. Its had Just opened the door of hit father's private bank for the day' business when there was a mothered explosion in the Monitor tore next door. He rushed into the building and a moment later a second explosion of greater force occurred. Pieces of wreckage hurled through the air by the second shock struck Burrell in the neck, decapitating liiin. Another mlcsile penetrated hit heart. Fire fol lowing tbe explosion, destroyed both buildings, entailing a heavy loss. The bank vault and the store safe, however, were not damaged. Tiie caute of the explosion it not known, bat the au thorities are working on the theory that it wat done by incendiaries. Tbe Hewers Annoyed by a Crowd. New York, Nov. 11. A crowd followed Admiral and Mrt. Pewey today at they walked down Fifth avenue from tbe hotel, and at Fifteenth street gathered around them and kept them imprisoned. The crowd shouted and hurrahed, and tome attempt! were made to raise the admiral on the shoulders of tome ol the more zealous of the enthusiast. Admiral Pewey begged and implored the people to allo-v him to proceed, but finally he had to lake refuge in a store, from which he etcared hv a door to a side stre t.

BRITISH SITUATION IS IMPROVING Eii;ht Thousand Troops Reached South Africa in the Last Forty E i yh t Hours Thousands More This Week. London, Nov. 13 A special dispatch from Purban, dated Thursday evening, say: ( "Native runner who have Just ar rived here from Prakensburg district re port that the Boer suffered a severe de feat at Lailytmith tbit morning. Tbe Boer gum were silenced after four houit' fighting during which the Boer losses were heavy. No details leceived." Aid For Geueral White. London, Nov. 13. The simultaneous attacks on Ladysmitb, Mafeking and Kimberley which opened Thursday manifest the full recognition by the Boers of the fuct that every day lessens th.'ir chances of a successful onslaught on any of the three British strongholds. Joubert's chance, of reaching Pieter rrarizburg can be said to have vanished. Ttiis is already reported to be admitted by folonel Schiel, the German officer commanding the Boer artillery, who is supposed to have been largely the author of tho Boer plan of campaign, and who in an Interview is alleged to have said: "The Boers' intention was to have captured PieterniRritzbnrg and then to dictate terms. But all hope of ac complishing Ibis must now be a bandoned. There is no douht that from a British point of view the British situa tion la rapidly improving. Nearly 8000 troops reached South Africa during the last forty eight hours, e.nd by the end of week from 6000 to 7000 mire will be adJed to the British etrenth in Natal. These will probably be pushed forward to Estcourt, bringing the British force there up to 10.000 men and making a general attack on I.a lysmith by General Joubert very hazardous. " At cavalry and artillery beloiijtin? to General Mcthuen's division will not have arrived by then, the advance from Kitcourt may be delayed, but if it is defined cj-mtiiil to open communication with the beleaguered town at the earliest pissihle moment, General Metiincn, it is believed, may decide to replace the regular cavalry and artillery by the Natal and outlander mounted forces ai d the naval guns, in which case it is claimed it onght to be possible to occur, y Colenso and stretch out a hand lo White by Monday. It is believed the course to be followed by Melhnen must necessarily be dictated I entirely by official knowledge of Geneial White' position and resources, and ex pel ts hopeMcthuen will l able to await concentration of the whole division he fore advancing, and thus have a letter chance of dealing a, telling blow at Jou bert's main army, which, it is asserted, will be caught between two British forces and compelled either to fight a general action or retire. News of Boer Defeat. London, Nov. 13 The Prakensburg dispatch ly way of Per ban, whichwas brought in by a Kaffir, reporting severe defeat of Biersal L,ly.nith, Thursday, may turn out to bo correct, but in view ot previous experience, il mnt be re ceived with cauti-.m. It appear", how ever, ceitain that heavy fighting occur red, and that tbe lyddito of the naval pans mu-it have bad a dire s-flVct npon the burgher f. rces if it reached them.

Manila, Nov. 13. General Young is supposed to have readied San Nicholas, about thirty miles east of Hagupan, but his wagons are far behind. Colonel Hayes has captured Aeuinaldo's secre tary, and Majjr Coleman is in Carrang ian with an escort of 17") bolomen on his way to the province of NuevaVisaya.

Insurgents are mortally afraid of the Au.ericans, however strong thtir position..

The ni ir-l i fl' ci ol the 1 -w that UO.OOO troo s are tin their way here has been unquestionably great. Insurgents are suffering more from di-eaBe than from the America.iit, owing to poor food, lack of medicines, and a filthy hospital, with. the result that there ia great mortality among them.
