Lull in newa from Ladysmtlh, which waa beginning to be regarded as ominous, haa at last been broken by a Cape Town dispatch under this mornlng'a date, saying: "Scouts from Modileraprult, having reported Boera In force on the Help mukar road, General White ordered out a utrmig force of artillery, mounted In fantry and cavalry, A small patrol of mounted Infantl-y waa shelled by Boers nine mllea from Ladyamlth, and the Boer poaltlon waa finally located three mllea beyond Modderaprult. The Brit ish force Is now four mllea from tha Boors." The dispatch does not give the date of the above occurrence, but It must have been since Thursday, when the Inst newa arrived from Ladyamlth. The Boer advance from Dundee southward and from Benter's station (eastward evidently proceeded steadily in the in terim, and the engagement foreshad owed by the above diapaitch may al ready have been fought. The other newa from the front doea not enlighten the situation In Natal. Fragmentary details are arriving of the occupaton of Dundee by the Boera. It Is added that TO men of the town guard occupied an outpost a couple of miles from the town when a Bat &hell dislodged them, and the men fled to a neighboring hill, where 800 Boers sur rounded them and shot the majority. The Boors then entered Dundee, hortfc'S. Dlspatchea from Sydney and Mel bourne record the departure of the Aua tralian contingent for the Tranavnal amid scene of great enthusiasm. Mr. JS.

If the ptesciit rate of examlng witnesses ia kept up, It ia probable thai next week will see the end of the trial of the Coeur d'Alene miners In the federal court here. Tl'i.i morning the examination of thr witnesses for the government waa com menced. The object was to bring out 1 tie ittcia hiiii ru'jHut iv jjiv, c a tvn-j piracy to blow up the Bunker Hill! mill, and that to do this the mineis con- dl'tr-n to hold trains and to do anyj other act to accomplish their purpose; I that the stopping of the mall train was concerted In a prearranged incident and was u part of :he cormplr.icy. An Important witness was Thomas Ames, a member of '.he Wardner union. He stated lhat he a-as awakened early on the riornlng of AprU 29, and waa told there would be a meeting of the union In the miners' hall. He at cold afterward that there would be no meet ing:, but to be on hand at the depot with his bundle of working clothes, as the train waa coming with the other min ers and the union men would board It. He did not know for what purpose, but he waa afterward told not to go, as his thumb was off, and this would be a mark to Identify him If the crowd got Into any trouble. Ho aaid he was discharged from the Bunker Hill mill, but had gne buck since. He saw 50 men with bundles near the train. Albert Burch. the superintendent of the Bunker Hill mill, was culled, and related the occurrences of the week preceding the blowing up of Joeeph Mc Donald of the Gem. The manager of the Helena Frisco mine told of seeing men going to Wardner, and said, on examining the powder house, he found 8ft boxes ndsslng and the lock broken. MINNEAPOLIS, OoL 28.
