Another diaU:h report activity on the part of the Free Htale command in the iifighborhood of Aliwal North, on the kouthern frontier. The lioera' ad vance patrol, the diipatcb kaya, go to the frontier bridge nightly to kep watch, firing khote at Intervalk aa aignala. It la Uilieved the enemy intend! khortly to ruah the railway ktation, with the belp of artillery posted on a ridge command ing the towo. There are rumors that the Boera have been repulaed at Mafiking and are at Uuking Vryburg. A Cape Town paper haa a diapatcbj from the Oranue river atating that the telegraph wiroa have been cat between Vryberg and Kiinberlry, and it ia be lieved that the Bovri are taking advant age of the pretence of a large gathering of dirluyal farmera at Viyburg, celebrat ing Nat htmaal, to attack the town, hop ing the farmera w ill aaaist them agkinat the iiritiah. The eanie diapmlch aaya that the Britiah force at Kiuberley ia confident of ita ability to hold out, but adviiwk the diapatcb of a reliul force. Thik question of a poaaible rising of the Dutch farmers in the northern por tions of Cai Colony ik very important. The Daily Mali's correspondent at Coles bnrg baa been inquiring regarding the matter, and on the whole tbinka the chance are against a rising. He baea his opinion on the proapecta of good crops after four lean years, which be believes will predikpose the farmers to peace. Nevertheless, there is serious d int rust and much anti-British agitation in these dmtricta, while the Free State Iloers threaten an immediate invasion of Colesburg and Aliwal North. Cap Volunteers Called Oat. The Daily Mail's correspondent aaerts that Sir Alfred Milner is worked to death and that Cae Town la surging with bitter resentment at what ia called the Schreiner cabinet's betrayal of Mafeking by its constant refusal to tend volunteer artillory forces to its relief. Many resi dents of Cape Town have relatives at Fryburg. and they are furious with Messrs, Merriem and fcour, respectively colonial treasurer and commissioner of public works, and the ministers are mobbed whenever they appear in public. Mr. Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader, ha none to the country in order to escape the outbursts of indignation. Sunday night the streets were filled with angry citizens, and it was feared that rioting would occur. Thia, combined with the pressure of the imperial gov ernment to a Bonne of ita peril, as well as of its duty, and moved it to decide to call out the volunteers. The ministerial party also worked its hardest to prevent the ovation to Conyngham Greene on his arrival from Pretoria, but failed The volunteers are 7000 strong and have 11 pieces of artillery. There is no further news regarding the present position. The Natal Invaalof . The Natal invasion was made In three columns at dawn on the 12th, through Tothas pass, Lainig's Nek and from Wakerstrom, the objective point of the invaders being Newcastle. The Boers utilized several thousand natives who were tramping from the Hand, to drive their heavy guns up Laing'sNek. Precautions are being taken for the de fense of Pietermaritzburg anil Durban in the remote contingency that the enemy may elude the vigilance of the British at LadyBinith and Glencoe camps. A dispatch from the latter place says the partial closing down of the Natal com mercial linea will not interrupt the sup plies for the imperial transports at Durban, s ia imagined by the Boers, large quantities of coal being already on the way there from India. Regular Bhipmont will arrive from-India until the Natal mines open again. Situation at Klmberley. Many Btories of the brisk fighting are in circulation, but although the forces may have come in contact, all alleged details must be regarded aa premature and speculative, especially if the report be true that the Orange Free State troops are now In complete poaeession of the railway from Kimberley to Orange river, 70 miles away, The alleged virulence of the Boers' at tacks upon Mafeking and Kimberley can rnadily be undnraUjod when It it realized that iiechuenaland is to the Boers what A Usee-Lorraine is to France. It it there fore probable hot II towns will be forced to undergo a long am dreary investment before the British are in position to send a relief column. On the other aide of the country the Boers are closing around the Brllikh out- poets, and have already come into touch with them and exchanged khott. There fore more stirring newt it expected. Advices from Cape Town relates that ezcitement is kept up there by ceaaeleae reports of battles, hot that little uneasi ness is visible in official circlet where the opinion prevaila that Mafeking and Kimberley art rafe. The last niessage from Kimberley, prior to the cutting of the telegraph and railway by the Boers, said: "All troops froin Kunberley are well." The calling out of the Cape Colony volunteers is supplemented by a decision to raise 2U00 more volunteers in Cape Colony and 1000 in Natal. Thus the total strength of the volunteer forcea will amount to 12,500 men. Kuiberkatlan of Troopa, According to the programme of em barkation from Great Britain, next Fri day and the four following days, which bat been published, there will be shipped a total of 18,000 troopa of all rankt and 1,000 horses, Among tto new chartered veselt are the White Star steamer Britannic and the National liner America. WATCIIIXO THE PASSES. free Mute Burgers Preparing for Move. DiMBAK. Oct. 10. It Iseitimate tha from 11,000 to 13,000 Free State Boers are watching the passes in the Drak en berg range from Olivier't Hook to Collins past. They have .pushed a few patriots down the berg, but hitherto the main force bat not debouched from the actual passage, which is being entrenched. Commandant-General Joubert it heavily fortifying Laing's Nek. Two Boer spies have been arrested at Ldytmith and handed over to the military authorities. The enrollment of 1000 U it landers un der the imperial governments' action ia proceeding briskly at Durban and Pieter mariixburg. IU porta are persistently circulated of a break-down in tbe Boer commiMariat and transport departments. Free Stale Boera Deatray a Kallroad. Car. Tows, Oct. 16. The Orange Free State troops have cut the telegraph wires gnd destroyed tbe railroad track at Norvalpont, just across tbe Orange Free State southern border. A dispatch from Dundee, Natal, says a Boer command, estimated at 2000 men, with 10 field guns, hat reached Dann hauser, northeast of Dundee, with the probable intention of surrounding Dun dee and cutting off the garriwo from communication with Glencoe and Lady smith. It ia supposed this force is com manded by Commandant Viljoen, and comprises l tie uerinan gunners, xne best of the Boer force from Newcastle is believed to be marching around Glencoe to sever its connection with Ladysmith As the refugees in Cape Town threaten to become troublesome, and have booted and mobbed a number of leading Dutch men, there is some expectation that martial law will be proclaimed. COLUMBIA BEATS THE SHAMROCK. The First Race of the International Scries Won by America's BeaU Nkw York, Oct. 16. The cup which the old schooner America won so handily against all comers over the course around the Isle of Wight in 1S31, and brought back across the ocean, will probably remain here another year, a defiance to the world. In a glorious breere, over a windward and leeward course of 30 miles the Columbia scored against the Sham rock today in the first race oi the 1899 series for the trophy. She bounded across the finish hoe fully a mile and half ahead of the challenger, defeating her by ten minutes and 14 seconds actual time, or 10 minutes and 8 seconds j corrected time, after allowing thesis seconds' handicap which the Columbia must concede to tbe challenger on ac count of her longer water liue, It was a decisive contest, a magnificent race, magnificently Bailed and maguificently won, Opinion as to the merits of the two boats had been somewhat divided as a result of (be flukes during the past two weeks, Although the preponderance of expert opinion never wavered in ita loy alty to the wonderful speed and ability of the white flyer, no nautical Bharp ex pected that the Shamrock would be bo overwhelmingly vanquished as she was in today's race. The Yankee boat out generaled her at the start, beat her hope lessly in windward work to the outer mark, and gained 22 seconds In the run home belore the wind, ltiere was a good, strong 10 or 12 knot breeze, and It held good throughout the race. This is doubtless a bitter blow, because the English hopes of lifting tbe cup have) never been higher since the Thistle met the Volunteer In 18X7. Like the Sham rock, the was decisively defeated in tht first hour's nailing. The regatta committee, aa a renlt of the showing made by the Columbia to day, it convinced that the cup it safe. Blow high or blow low, the Columbia, it it believed by the manager, Mr. Iselin, can beat the Khamrock. Hir TboniM Lipton, like the true sportsman that ht is, confessed, after tbe race, that he bad been fairly beaten. He bad no apolo gies to unka. A Decisive Coateet. Today's race was a magnificent duet. and mails up for the repeated disap pointments the sightseers have aufTereJ. It wss anything but a comfortable day on the water. Still the mtt wreathe were carried along by a good 10-knot breeze right in from tbe east, and the old shellbacks said there was more wind where that came from. But the ex cursionists who went down tbe bay were not very hopeful until they got outside. The low clouda overhead sbut out the) sky and the ttresked water matched them. Ttie mist made everything look ghost like and indistinct. Tbe shore were uncertain and shadowy. Tbe ssila of the oyster fleet were simply gray daze Intbebaze. The meteoric torpedo-boat sliding swiftly out to tbe lightship, were like black shadows flitting across the water. Tbe only color in the dull land scape were tbe enslgnt and tbe brilliant atreamt of the checkered flags which adorned the excursion fleet and the daab of red from the big bulk of the lightship. Ontside tbe wind was fresher, and whipped tome fotm out of the waves Both yachts were towed out from the anchoi ages and raised mainsails before casting off. Mrs. Iselin was not to be deterred by the bad weather, and waa a conspicuous tlgure on the UolumDia, wrapped up like an old salt in a yellow oilskin. The crew had on their working; suits of white, and .wore watch caps of black and red, Ieelin'a private colon. Several of the crew of the Shamrock bad on sou'westert. From the truck of the Shamrock's topmast floated Lipton'e flag, a gteen khamiork in a yellow field. The wind kept freshening all the way out to the lightship, and the seas spilt more of their fiotb. No large aseem- blsge was on band to witness tbe start. tbe repeated flukee having made the publsc very chary about coming out. A few aide-wheelera the regular fleet of ocean-going tugs, and a score or two of steam yachts were all. Promptly at 10 o'clock the committee- boat signaled the course, 15 miles dead into the eye of the wind to tbe eastward and return. Both yachts at No. 2 top sails, their skippers eyidently agreeing that it would not be wise to carry their large skyscrapers in such a breeze. Just at the warning gun boomed, a driv ing mist ewept in from the east, beating into the face of tbe patriots and adding to their discomfort. Jockeying at the Start. There was lively jockeying behind the line before the start, and the Colombia, got the better of it. She clearly out maneuvered her rival, eventually forcing her over the line first by half a length, but leaving the Columbia in the weather position. Close-hauled on the starboard tack, the yachts plunged seaward, heel ing to tbe 12 knot breeze. riajed Out.
