j LONDON, Oct. 2. 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,

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. A Duluth
special to the Journal says that 3. J.
Hilt haa contracted in England for the
construction of two immense steam
ships for trans-Pacific trade between
Seattle and Japan. It is stated that a
Clyde firm has the contract, and that I
the ships will be monsters, 48 feet long-1
er than the' new OoeauJc of the Atlan-
tic. Each will be 750 feet and 20,000
I tons burden.
They cannot be in service until late in
19t0. and If the Pacific trade continue
to expand, they will not be out of place
I there. Reports also state that the two
are but the first of a large fleet.
