RUMORS OF ALL
KINDS AFLOAT
One Saying White Has Retreated
British War Office Insists There
is No News of Further Boer
Movements.
London, Nov. 3. While tliero is n
habit hero to bsbiiuio thut the news of
Boer victories emnnating from the
Continent Qiinnot he true hecau3e of the
conaorahip, the fnct is forgotten that
foreign governments are fully privileged
to Bend mid receive cipher messages to
und from their representative;) in South
Africa.
While the wires to Ladyetnith ure cut,
the optimism of the war officials to even
beliuvo that Ladysmith was completely
invested or ColeiiBo cup tilled, appears to
bo justified, as this morning it was
Asserted that the railroad is still open,'
though traffic has been conducted with
the greatest ciution.
What, however, was only rumor
yesterday evening, it is claimed may he
a reality at any moment, as General
Joubert with his large and wonderfully
noblu force, is expected to detach a force
of several thousand men and make n
Iaeh ut the railrond. Kumors of all kinds
are turning up here. It is even asserted
that General White has hi! en compelled
to fall back on Pietermaritzburg, leaving
his wounded behind.
Probably euch rumors have their origin
in recollection of the ominous silence
which preceded the evacuation of
Dundee. But, on the other hand, it is
uH9nrted tho conditions are altered and
the British guiiB eeem more titan equal
to the artillery of the Bocrf, thus en
hancing tho difficulty of auy assault on
the British lineB.
London, Nov. 3. The war office this
ufternosn, replying to inquiries, said
that no information bad boon received
there of fresh Boer movements ntColcnBO
or elsewhere. Tne officials were not
aware if tiie railroad to Ladysmith was
intact or not.
Keport of Boer Losses.
London, Nov. 3. Belated dispatches
from the British camp at Ladysmith odd
littlo information regarding Monday's
fight except estimates of the Boer losses,
which are now said to be ninety-five
killed and 200 wounded, mostly victim
of artillery i hells, which have wrought
such groat havoc that it is said General
Joubert has written a letter to General
White, British commander, protesting
the use of lyddite.
According to all accounts, the presence
at Ladysmith of long-range naval guns
and the splendid shooting of the blue
jackets have materially improved the
position of the British. A temporary
armistice was declared Monday evening,
to allow tho collection of dead and
wounded.
A Cape Town dispatch reports the re
pulso of the Boers by the British yet
terday. II Ik Life Wuh Sarml.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful -deliverance from a frightlul death,

with typhoid fever, that run into pjeu
monin. My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. 1 can't sny too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine is
the eureet and quickest cure in the world
for all throat and lungtrouble. Regular
