RUMORED DEATH
OF GEN. JOUBERT
First Regiment Ecaclicd Estcomi and
Heard Bombardmcut of Ladvsmitti-
ARMORED TRAIN
SENT FORWARD
Every Day Lessens Chances for Boer
Success Against General White
Plan of Doers Retreat.
Estcouut. Nntnl. Nov. 13-10. Tho
West Yorkshire regiment Iihh arrived
here. The bombnrdtnont of Ladysmith
has heon resumed. Heavy firing was
heurd early this morning. An armored
train was sunt out on a reconnaieeaneo
toward Colonso. The urmored train on
its return reported that the Boers had
blown up the lino butweeu Colonso and
Chivoley. Not much damage woo done,
but tho rails were bout and a Btnnll
culvert destroyed. On seeing British
patrols the Boors retired.
Kvory day lessons tho chance for the
Boers coming farther south. Kadi re re
port that a force of 400 to 500 Boers, with
wagons, were going in the direction of
Colenso. This is said to be the foraging
party previously sighted. Kaffirs also
report that General White's cavalry has
had nn engagement with Boers at
Hester's station. Result not known.
A message from Ladysmith just
received gives a fen details of occurrences
of Wednesday, when the Boers' shell fire
was continued during tiie day. It is
assarted they attempted, deliberately to
aim at Convent hill, in the center of the
town, whore thoro wero only Sisters and
wounded. The building was hit twice
in npite of the Gonova flag Hying.
Boers attempted a demonstration
against the western defenses, but they
wero never serious. Groups appearing
at long range were easily scattered by
tho fire of a machine gun. Tho total
British casualties during the brisk bom
bardment was three men, though some
damage was dono to cattle and property.
London, Nov. 10. A dispatch recoived
here (rum l'iutennaritzburg, dated No
vember 11, soys it is rumored there
that Joubort, commander-in-chief of
the Boor forces, has been killed in action.
Theltjer positions are 0000 to 8000
yards distant. Tho Boers have sent in
100 Indian coolies from the Dundee- coal
fields, doubtless with tho object of assist
ing to iinieh our food.
London, Nov. 10, The most startling
news from the seut of.war today is the
report of tho death of General l'iot Jou
bert, comiuander-in'chief of the Boer
forces. Though the report comos from
many different sources, it obviously lacks
confirmation. At tho same time many
people believe tho report to be well
founded, os the general's death is eaid
to have occurred November 0, when tho
Boer rifle-men were understood to be
within 1500 yards of Lvlysmlih.
As severe fighting between the British
aud Boers the eatuo day lias since been
reported, it Ib regarded in some quarters
as quite probable that Joubert, always
noted for his personal courage and cool
iiosp, may have dangerously exposed
himself in a personal reconnaissance of
the British position.
If Joubort was really killed on the
battle-field, it would teem to be the
fittest death for such a gallant soldier.
Even his foes admit that 'he fought
eqiurely and his action when General
Symoiifl died in cabling tils sympathy to
the bereaved widow established him in
tho high regard of all soldiers. It is
claimed the death o' Joubert would bo
likely to load to adoption by the Boere
of balder and more active tactics, as it
is well known Joubert was a cautious
aud conservative commander, and that
ho had considerable dlilluulty in restrain
ing his hot-headed followers.
The dribleta of news bring the in

There ib more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all otho diseases put
together, und until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
n local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatmeut, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe n constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
