London, Oct. 16.—An Edinburg pa-
per, the Scotsman, asserts that a bat
tle has taken place between General
Sir George Stewart White, commanding
the forces in Natal, and the Boers,
who entered Natal by way of Van
Keenan's Pass. General White, the
Scotsman says, is very sanguine of th*
success of the British movement.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from its correspodence at Ladysimth,
dated at noon Friday, says:
"A strong mobile column under Sil
George Stewart White, accompanied by
General Sir Archibald Hunter, proceed
ed before daybreak this morning towart
Acton Homes for the purpose of recon
noitering. General White’s object was
to observe what was going on and also
to test the mobility and efficiency of
his forces. All the men are well and
the weather is fine.”
According to dispatches from Lady-
eimth to the Standard and the Daily
Telegraph, dated Thursday, heavy
storms have begun and forage is scacre
on the veldt. General White has 12
guns and the Boers 11.
The Daily Mail’s Cape Town corre
spondent says:
“I learn on good authority that the
■Boers are attacking Mafeking. 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 twe
seven-pounder guns sent from here to
Mafeking was attacked last night at
Kraaipan. Apparently a rail had been
removed. The train left the track, and
the Boers fired into it with artillery
for an hour and captured it.”
; The Ladysmith correspondent of the
Times says:
“A subsequent reconnoisance shows
that the invading force from the Free
State numbers approximately 12,000
men.”

Aceom-
Manlia, Oct. 16.—General Schwan’s
expedition, having accomplished its ob
ject, the troops are all returning to
their former positions, abandoning the
towns taken.
General Schawn is eu route from
PereB Desmarimas to Imus with the
infantry, while the artillery and cav
alry and all mule teams are retracing
their route from Malabon to Bacoor,
with the signal corps removing the
wires. Geureal Trias, with the organ
ized bodies of insurgents, retreated to
Sil»ng and Indan, at the base of the
mountain.
In Cavite province, the scene of the
hottest fights and their gTeat successes
over tho Spaniards, the Filipinos might
have been expected to make a resolute
stand, if anywhere, but after their
whippings at Cavite Viejo and Nove
lets, their tactics consisted chiefly in
a continuous exhibition of their agility
and their transformation from warriors
to amigos.
The marines, while reconnoitering
about the scene of Sunday’s encounter,
find that the trenches have been already
reoccupied, although the enemy mani
fested more than their usual willing
ness to retreat before the Americans.
At Malabon, the Americans corralled
200 or 300 natives, supposed to be
fighting men. A few of them were
caught with arms in their hands, but
large numbers were found in hiding,
dressed in khaki, like the American
uniform. A majority of them were in
the garb of amigos, but they are sus
pected of shooting at the troops from
houses, a growing habit, which fiour-
ishe«l throughout the advance whenever
small parties of Americans strayed
from the main body. The prisoners
are a white elephant on the hands of
the Americans.

It transpired that Van C. Alexander,

Upwards of $600,000 is to be spent
