BOERS PREPARING
TO WITHDRAW
They Continue to Receive Reinforce
ments and Supplies Daily, How,
eyer, and Their Purpose Is Appar
ently Unknown to British.
London, Nov. 21. The latest direct
news from Ladyemitli, dated Thursday,
November 16J and Friday November 17,
strangely conflicts with reiterated re
ports of tremendous battles and great
British victories on Wednesday and
Thureday. Neither of the messages
above referred to, though dispatched on
the days following the date of the al
leged fight, mentioned any great fights
or Boer defeats.
On the contrary, both distinctly state
that beyond a false alarm on Tuesday
evening, and little increaeed shelling
Thursday and Friday, causing little
damage, everything was perfectly quiet
and the garrison was dialing under its
enforced inactivity.
Nevertheless, special dispatches from
Estcourt today enlarge on the reported
battles and insist that the Boers received
a more terrible lesson Wednesday than
in any previous fight. According to
their circumstantial accounts, the Boers
determined to attempt to reach the
north end of Ladyemitli with a large
force, but were unable to make headway
against the well sustained fire of British
riflemen and Maxims.
Later, it is added, the British force
worked around the Boer flank, causing
the latter to withdraw under a deadly
fneilade, with exceedingly heavy losses.
Large numbers of dead and wounded
are euid to have been left on the field
and a number of prisoners were captured.
British losses are reported to have been
trivial.
Ihe dispatches from Ladyemitli re
porting there is an ample supply of am
munition there have Eeemingly set nt
rest a point on which there was much
diversity of opinion.
Apparently the British commander at
Lad.vsmith believes General Joubert has
gone Eoutli, leaving only a force sufli
cient to prevent the garrison from sally
ing out, and there is a disposition in
some quarters to think Joubert possibly
initiated the story with the object of
inducing Wiiite to makn u serious attack
or relax precautions so as to permit the
Boers to seize ground vital to the de
fense of the town.
A report from Durban, however, eays
there uie rumors that the Boers are pre
paring to break camp and withdraw
from the investment of Ladyemitli. But
it is said that the investing force con
tinues to receive reinforcements and
freeh supplies ol stores daily.
Morehead Wants Much.
San Fkancisco. Nov. 21. The Exam
iner says that Walter Moorehead, of
London, who is a shareholder In the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
and seeks to set uslde the reorganization
plan, hue filed a supplemental bill in
the United States circuit court. In his
bill, the court is asked to eet aside the
transfer of the property of the Central
Pacific to the Central Pacific Railway
Company of Utah. The appointment of
a receiver for the company is olso re
quested.
