Cape Town.
London', Nov. 10. Another rumor,
oiiinnfttint,' from AuiHtordum aourcee,
HoyH a BrltiHh regiment wub decimated
Friduy by tho Freu Statora. It is added
tliut tux hundred Britiuli soldiers were
killed or wounded nndthat three hun
dred lioraH wore enpturud.
London, Nov. 10. Tho British war of
fico Iioh received Irotii General Buller the
following diBpatch:
"Capo Town, Thurdoy evening Ilave
received by pigeon post from General
White today the following "The bom
bardment at long range by heavy guns
continuua daily. A few casualties are
occurring, hut no eerioua harm is being
done. The Boers sent in today a number
of refugees from tho Tranavaal under a
flag of truce. A party from Ladysmith
met them outside the pickets. When the
party separated, tiie Boer guns fired on
it before it readied our pickets. Major
Gate, of the Royal engineers, wbb
wounded today while sending a nieasnge.
The outrenchments m e growing stronger
daily and the supply of provisions ia
ample."
llullcr's Forces Landing.
London, Nov. 10. With tho arrival
at Cape Town of tho British transports
Kosulyu Castle and Moor, to be followed
by a continuous succasslon of troop
laden ahipe, the real campaign in South
Africa may be said to have begun, and
tho fact that the first ship named was
expected to luive arrived at Durban
forthwith indicates ut least a modifica
tion of the plan of advance.
It seems General Butler's first move
will bu to rolieve General White, thus
Bomewhat departing' from the earlier
plan of advancing through the level
country of tho Orange Free State and
Southwestern Transvaal. It has been
upparont forsomedays that the situation
at Lsdyemith could not be indefinitely
prolonged, and it is understood that in
formation has reached.tho government
to tho effect that the qulosceuce of tho
Uoera will shortly bo changed by the ar
rival of a siege train from Pretoria into
a determined attack to deliver a telling
atrpke.
This, It is added, led General. Buller
to prepare a countor-atroke and endeavor
topuah the Boors buck by a direct attack.
Such an operation, if attompted, will
necessarily entail a great expenditure of
life.
While tho pigeon dispatch of General
Buller shows the buleagured garrison
waa holding its own yesterday, it is
feared here thut tho silence regarding
what tho British artillery was doing in
reply to tho Boer guns indicatos that
White is short of long-range ammunition.
If this is true, the roported further rail
road destruction near Coleuso uesumee
greater importance. ,
One very serious passage in General
White's message gives the first official
eonllr.nntlon of the statements of Boer
treachery, which there has been disposi
tion hitherto lo discredit, but which
rnust now be ucceptod as at least partly
true. With the additional division
announced by General Woleoley at the
lord mayor's banquot yesterday evening,
Bailor's force will aggregate 05,000 men
by Christinas.

Her Husband's Story
" My name is E. J. Sprong, and my address is 16 Bondman Block, Troy, N.
Y. I want to tell how thankful I am that my wife's health has been restored to
her. About a year ago she caught a dreadful cold, which settled in her bron
chial tubes and lungs, falic cer
tainly had bronchitis, and I think
consumption, too, and we de
spaired of her life. She had a
tightness and soreness in tho
chest, and it wnsMiflicult for her
to breathe. There were darting,
sharp, dull and heavy pains, with
constant coughing and expectorat
ing. Each day she was worse
than tho day before. I was ad
vised to get Acker's English Rem
edy, and did so, but my wife only
shook her head and said: 'Another
dollar thrown away.' She took
tho Remedy, however, and said
tho offect was magical. In less
than an hour there was a remark
able change. Sho got botyer at
nnr-n mid in a short time sho was
entirely w.ell and strong again. The cure was permanent and there has been
no relapse. I don't know what Acker's English Remedy is made of, but I am
sure it contains something that fortifies the system against future attacks. My
wife is in bettor general health now than ever, and you can't imagine how
happy she! is for her recovery. Sho tells everybody about Acker's English Rem
edy and io do I, for I believe it to bo our duty to the public to help every suf

A second dispatch from General Otis
follows:
"Manila. The report received yester
day 'concerning Wheaton's movement
was erroneous. He did land at San
Fabian, as directed, and drove the bulk
of the enemy back in the desired direction
toward Dagupan. Operations were corn
successful in every particular."
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the' last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tob a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
