The Invasion of Cape Colony Mafe
king Garrison Holding His Own
No .News From ladysmith.
London, Nov. 11. The day line
brought forth no meat news, and little
change bus taken place either in Xatul
or on the north iind northwestern
frontiers ot Cape polony. The chief fact
in the opening of the bombardment of
Kiniberiey Tuesday by Free State
artillery, which proved, uccording to an
official fltutemunt, utterly ineffective
The Boet investment of tlio town, how
over, ia aid to be tightening. Skirmish
iug between the Kiuiberley mounted
troops und the Boers early in the week
resulted in eevere Boer losses, the British
force losing one killed und one wounded.
Advices from Orange river confirm the
report of the .Free State troops' advance
upon tho north of Cape Colony, but,
owing to the retirement of the British
forces from the borderland, no serious
collision has yet occurred. The coining
week, however, is certain to set import
ant developments in this district. An
official dispatch recording n skirmish
near Belmont, in which Colonel Falconer
wu killed, three other officers were
wounded, one dangerously, and two
privates slightly wounded, is far from
clear. It is not known whether Colonel
Falconer was preparing for a British ad
vance or was merely endeavoring to as
certain the numbers of the Boers.
Diapatehee from Mufoking show that
Colonel Budeti-Powoll's little force is
Htill nut merely holding its own, but is
daily inflicting more or 'loss Eevero
punishment upon the Boere, whose ar
tillery 1ms apparently proved valueless.
Transports carrying 3000 British troops
are already en route to Durban, having
passed Cupe Town, and tho Boers must
strike u decisive blow at Ladysmith now
or never. .
Situation at Natal.
Ehi-couut, Natal, Tuesday, Nov. 7.
An armored train manned by an engi
neering ataffand accompanying the Dub
lin fusiliers, under Captaiu Hensley, re
turned here tonight. It reports that it
found the stores nt Frere looted, appar
ently by Kaffirs, and mot cyclist patrol?,
who reported that' the Beers were on tho
Springfield road, five miles away. The
train proceeded cautiously, and found
the Uluosprnit bridge intact. The train
frequently stopped, and Captain Ilensley
examined the road ahead before pro
ceeding. Neariug Coltnso, the line was found
cut h inilo south of Colenso. Two
lengths of rail on each lino hud been
lifted and placed out.of gauge. Informa
tion obtained from Kaffirs is that the
Boors left tho vicinity of Colenso early
tliis morning, proceeding in tho direotion
of Buluwun mountain, and Captain
Ilensley found Colenso absolutely
deserted.
A Coming Coullict.
Londox, Nov, 11. In connection with
the reported Anglo-American undor
Btanding regnrding an open door in
China, Japan's attitude in far Eastern
Asia is much canvas eed. Soveral cor
respondents in China talk of a coming
conflict between Japan and Russia over
Corea. A lottor from Seoul, which ap
pears in the Times today, says:
"The Japanese are convinced that to
permit Russia to acquire Corea or es
tablish Russian ascendancy In Northern
China would be strategically, politically
ud commercially a deadly menace to
Japan's rapidly developing strength.
Japan believes her navy la strong
enough to attack Ruisla, and the general
opinion is that tho interests of the two
nations are eo conflicting that it is im
possible to avoid a rupturo'in tho near
future."
Dynamite in a Store.
Uiuiane, la., Nov. 11. Clarence Bur
rell, son of Banker J. G, Burrell, was
instantly killed today by an explosion of
dynamite which wrecked the bank build
und partially destroyed the Monitor
general store. He had just opened the
doors of his father's private bank for the
day's business when there was a
smothered explosion in tho Monitor
store next door. He rushed into the
building and a moment later a second
explosion of greater force occurred.
Pieces of wreckage hurled through the
air by the second shock struck Burrell
in the neck, decapitating him. Another
missile penetrated his heart. Fires fol
lowing the explosion, destroyed both
buildings, entailing a heavy lo??. The
bank vault and. the store safe, however,
were not damaged. The cause of the
explosion is not known, but tho au
thorlties are working on the theory that
it was done by incendiaries.
There is more Catarrh in this Eection
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, nnd until the last few years
wrb supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, und by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science lias proyen catarrh
tobe a constitutional dieec -- and there
fore requires constitutional treutment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in dnses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly

The Dewcys Annoyed by a Crowd.
New York, Nov. 11. A crowd followed
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey today as they
walked down Fifth avenue from tho
hotel, and at Fifteenth street gathered
around them and kept them imprisoned.
The crowd shouted and hurrahed, and
some attempts were made to raise the
admiral on the shoulders of some of the
more zealous of the enthusiasts. Admiral
Dewey begged and implored the people
to allow him to proceed, but finally he
had to take refuge in a store, from which
he escaped by a door to a side etre;t.
