DUTCH SYMPATHIZERS MAY BE TROUBLESOME They Can Render the by Tearing up WHITE IS A POOR The English War Department Declares That it Gives Out All Im portant News as Soon as it is Received Kimtcrly Is the Weakest Point. NEW YORK. Nov. 1J.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: News from South Africa has been so m-juger that suspicions were excited that the war office was holding back Important intelligence of an unfavora e natur. There were Several long ble bulletins yesterd ty. I have th highest authority for staling that the war ofllce is neither misleading the public nor kevplng back a lythng of serious report, nor revising and curtailing bulletins. The dis- patches from Cri.tioi riuiiri nd White ; are published In the precise form in which they are received and there Is no ground for the suspicion that there is bad news In reserve when the war cilice has nothing to announce. Ladysmith is the center of Interest and anxiety, but the British command er there Is not a good dispatch writer and evidently finds it difficult to ex preps his meaning clearly and forcibly. On this account the bulletins from him seem broken and disjointed and are suspected without reason of being roughly condensed at the war office. General Buller is a clearer dispatcn writer, as is proved by his second lucid account of the skirmish at Belmont givtn out last night. Rumors that attempts had been made by Dutch sympathizers wiih the Bikers to tear up raitivay lines south of Ie Aar and other districts in Cape Cokny are not fully confirmed, but- scrve to emphasize one of the chief difficulties which will confront General Buller when his army corps, rein- fi-e.-,! fr,,nn Pnplnn.l iu rmlv In nil- vanc This will be the protection of t the lin? line of communications from' Cape Town and P"it E'.iz-ib-th, ; through Jlsaftect-.d districts.

Thi.se who know Sir Alfr-d Miln-r's F'ern, unllinching nature have ex pected him make an example of the earliest traitors in order to enforc- th warnings of his pn..-lainati"ns, and men cau?ht in the act of t.-ari.i up rails tvotrld seen: capi'al subj s for discipline. filr Alfred Miln-r is forc-d by c:: -cuin.-itances to consult Premier Schr-I-ner, tvhos information in f-K.ird to th?
