Judging from present apiiearauces, the Boers are preparing for a simultaneous invasion at five separate points— Laing’s Nek, Kimberley, Vryburg, Mafeking and Lobatsi. Therefore it is almost impossible to guess the plan of campaign.

London, Oct. 16.— An Edinburg pa per. tho Scotsman, as.-erts that u bat tle has taken place between General Sir George Stewart White, commanding the forces in Natal, and the Boers, who entered Natal by wav of Van Keenan’s Pass. General White, the 3cotsman says, is very sanguine of tht iuccess oi the British movement. A dispatch to the Daily Telegrapk from Its correspodenco at Ladysiiuth, dated at noon Friday, says: ‘ ‘A strong mobile column under Sir George Stewart White, accompanied by General Sir Archibald Hunter, proceed ed before daybreak this morning toward Acton Homes for the purpose of recon noiteriug. General White’s object was to observe what was going on and also to test the mobility and elficiency of his forces. A ll the men are well and the weather is fine.” According to dispatches from Lady- simth to the Standard and the Daily Telegraph, dated Thursday, heavy storms have begun and forage is scacrt on the veldt. General White has 12 guns and the Boers 11. The Daily M ail’s Cape Town corre spondent says: “ I learn on good authority that the Boers are attacking Mafekiug. They are reported to have already suffered several repulses. It is generally ad mitted that Vryburg cannot stand a strong Boer attack.” The war office has received the fol lowing dispatch from the general com manding the Cape forces: Cape Town, Oct. 16.— An armored train from Mafeking escorting two seven-pounder guns sent from here to Mufeking was attackod last night at Kraaipan. Apparently a rail had been removed. The train left the track, and tho Boers fired into it with artillery for an hour and captured it.” The Ladysmith correspondent of the Times says: ‘ ‘ A subsequent reconnoisnuce shows that the invading force from the Free State numbers approximately 12,000 men.” _________ COLORED U tt S u b s c r ip tio n P r ic e P a y a b le In v a r ia n t?

The report sent forth by the state officials of Virginia that their records of assessment and taxation show a large increase in ownership of land amongst the colored people, present! gratifying conditions which the census oilicials know to be common to all the Southern states. The Virginia report mentions that the records do not show the full, and perhaps not half of the increase in land ownership amongst the colored people for the reason that great num bers of them, having meager capital, are compelled to buy farms on land contracts. These contracts call fot deeds when the payment of purchase money, which is made in installments, shall have been completed. While the installments are pending, the title is held in the vendor as a part of hie security for the deferred [isyments. Thus the rea' possession is not repre sented in the records, though the case is practically like that of property which is mortgaged. Chief Statistician Powers, of the di vision of agriculture in the cec-us, who has made a thorough study of the question of tenure, has prepared a schedule for the twelfth census which is Intended to cover the cases men tioned. The enumerator w ill be in structed to report as owners all home steaders who have not "proved up” or whose final proofs have not been re corded— in fact all actual occupants of public fluids— and persons who have bought land on contracts for deeds; and those who have been foreclosed but are holding over for redemption. If the enumerators shall carry out these Instructions, the twelfth census w ill present a fuller exhibit of small ownership and of land ownership amongst the colored people than has hitherto been available. Tenure is to be taken in the cenus In a manner to show not simply the number of persons who own farms, work farms on shares, or lease farms for a cash or other fixed rental, but to show all the conditions of ownership and tenure according to race and color. In the case of land bought on con tract, the element of duplication will have to be guarded against, as some vendors, still retaining title to land which they have Bold but which is not wholly paid for, may report it as still their own. The intention of the census office is, however, to give such instructions to enumerators previous to beginning field work, that the elements of omission or duplication shall be brought to a mini mum. Statistics of ownership and tenure, derived aH they frequently have been heretofore, from the county land rec ords, do not convey accurate impres sions. Thousands of deeds of sale and transfer, land contracts, partition deeds, «equestrian papers, final home stead proofs, etc., are held in the homes of the people unrecorded. The census oilicials expect, In the schedules now adopted, to avoid practically all of the deficiencies which these conditions pre sent in the land records, and to be able, at theo[>euing of the twentieth century, to make a comparatively perfect ex hihit of land tenure by counties and color in all the states.

IT.— By the United States revenue cutter Corwin, which arrived here tonight, survivors aro brought of the steamship Laurada, which lies a wreck in Zapadiue bay, St. George island. The Laurada, Captain Frank White, left Seattle September 12, for Cape Nome, with a crew of 48 officers and men and 20 passengers. She carried a full cargo of general merchandise, hay, lumber, 86 head ot cattle and 130 sheep. She encountered rough weather from the start, and just liefore 6 o ’clock on the morning of September 80 was driven by wind and current into shoal water in Active pass, but after a brief detention site resumed her voyage. Be ing loaded deep, the heavy setts broke over bow again and again and by the time the open sea was reached it had become so serious that she was forced to turn back and take the inside pas sage to Netv Metlakahtla, where 80. tons of lumber and 50 tons of coal were put ashore. Thus lightened, she pro ceeded to Dutch Harbor, which was reached Septemlier 25. At Dutch Harbor 80 sheep were landed. The Laurada left Dutch Har bor September 26, encountering con tinued stormy weather. On Septem ber 27 it was discovered that a leak had been started forward by the pound ing of the seas. This increased rapid- y, and soon it tiecame evident that the imn[s would not much longer keep the vessel afloat. She began gradually to Bettle. The only hope of safety lay in reaching the Pribyloff or Seal is lands, the northernmost of which, St. George, is barely 225 miles from Dutch Harbor. A t 2:30 P. M., September 28, Cap tain White, after having skirted the eastern shore of St. George island, and finding it impossible to make a safe landing, ran the now sinking Laurada ashore in the shallow waters of Zapa- dine bay. The fire in the lower grate had been by this time extinguished by the rising set. waters, and the stokers were wading in the fire room up to their knees.
