GOES TO YULE'S AID AttackaFree State Buhglers on the Road to New castle, In Order to Cover Moveinent of Yule's Column. Which is Reported Falling Back on Lady Smith. Disquiet Caused by Meagreness of Offi cial News in Loudon. LORD WOLSELET CRITICISED STETN CLAIMS A PART OP CAPE COLONY BASUTOS DESIROUS OF TAKING PART IN THE WAR. London, Oct. 24. A despatch from General White, dated Lady Smith, October 24, was posted at the war of ncet'onigiht, referrir tr a fight tween White's command and the Fred State burghers oft the road from Lady Smith to Newcastle. White say he learned Monday that the Boere had occupied an exceedingly strong position to the jvest of the m'ain road from La ay Smith to "Dundee, also that General Yule was falling back on laay smrtn, - I - . a 1 rand, therefore, .e movea out wun a WHITE "istroafe' force ty cover the movement of ft lYtile's otfkimn, K-1 The enemy - was' disco v&Fed" seven miles from Lady Smith. The Boers ft opened fire with one gun with gr'eiat accuracy, but it was soon silenced by the ' British artilfery . - r O White adds: "Our troops' occupied a ride-e oarallel with the enemy's t6si- ft' tion, and we confined our action to oc ft, cupying the hill, hitting him hard enough to prevent his attacking Yule, ft lumbers of the enemy fled. Firing 1 ceased at 9 p. m." The despatch does not state whetKer White was joined by Yule, and is ap- 1 barently incomplete. Lorenzo, Marquez, Oct. 24. Dr. Jameson, leader of the raid into the Transvaal, and - Colonel Grey, one of' the offiGers who ' accompanied him on that expedition arrived here today. DUNDEE PROBABLY OCCUPIED ; v BY BOERS. London, Oct. 24. Beyond General Yule's apparently unhampered retreat from Dundee and General White's successful covering of the movement, there is littfle news from the seat of war tonight. In the absence of direct information, it is assumed that a:i the more seriously wounded, including Gen eral Symons, remained at Dundee, which is mow probably occupied by the Boers. Yule's, column must be in a desper ate trait, when it abandoned its wounded . , YULE JOINS WHITE. A Cape Town despatch, dated '9:'45 p. m., October 24, says Yule joined White near Lady Smith, where they are now in position to offer bgLttle.The despatch adds that after defeating the Free State troops they will offer battle General Joubert. Only forty miles now separate the two Boer forces, which together, out number the British three to one. ; day was mere brush. The losses orr either side were insignificant. ' v 'AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. The Lady Smith correspondent of the Standard, who was among the . per sons capttfred by the Boers when "they held up the train near Elandslaagte on October 19, and who was freed through GeneraH Frenidh's victory, relates an in teresting experience. He says: "We were well treated. Nearly all the Boers are1 strong, powerfully built men, while a' few were veritable giants. All were in the highest of spirits. Their one subject of talk was the resolute determination to fight to the last for in dependence. At an impromptu smok-' Ing. concert! they sang the Transvaial Volkslied 'with immense fervor. The utmost JoHity "and good win prevtailed during the proceedings. One or two more .turhulent caused us anxiety, but the lead, on the whole, were pair rf tlcularly careful- tb place us in chairg of well disposed, tr unworthy men. . f iWhen the British guns began firijfe the prisoners -were speedlJly neglected, and they reached the British: lines without molestation. , STEYN CLAIMS A PART OF CAPE COLONY;. , ' Uondon, Oct. 24.

The afternoon news papers sharply oriltic'i'sa Lord Wolseley'B summary of the Natal situation. They say it has a distinct resemblance to the statement of the Spanish ministry wfhen preparing their countrymen for news of the disaster ait Santiago. This is probably an overstrained view. There is no denying, however, great suspense amli 'anxiety existing which have !been increased by the report in circulaJtlon, purpo'rlting to be official, to itlhe eff ect thaJt the Boers have secured the service of 13,000 nlaltivesj. SOME MISGIVINGS. Thie vague) and varied estimates of Boer losses and Ithe absence of anyt'hing official oift the subject, is (ailso arousing mitsgiviings whether the bealben enemy suffered proportionaitely to the dlisas Itirous losses of the victors. One of the most disquieting stories comes from La idyismi'tlh. It is to the effect that an Eng- lishman arrived from Dundee on Sunday I evening after esc aptog through the Boer! limes om the previous niight, said the ene- my was then slhelling the camp and the towns with heavy gums, while the shells of. Ithe Brutish were uniaMe to reaclh the enemy's batteries. Consequently, the man is saii to have ad'ted, the) camp was shifted a mile in order (to be ouft of reach of the Boers, wno were threaten ing the magazine of 'Use town. WHITE'S FORCES BUSY. London, Oct. 24. Parliamentary Sec retary of War George Wyndham', in the house of commons today, stated that Lord Woleeley, commander in chief of the forces, sums up 'the situatioi in Natal' today as follows: "General Yule has fallen back to affect a junc tion with Sir George White. He camp ed yesterday evening about sixtepn miles south of Dundee without feeing anything of the enemy during the march, and since, has reported all well on the west bank 6f th$ river. General White fought a successful action with an. increased Orange Free State force today, on the road between Lady Smith and Newcastle, and will join hands with General 'Yule. General1 Yule re ports the wounded are doing well. The Roer wounded are treated just the same as 'our own, and we have eve.y reason to believe the Boers will treat any of our wounded in a similarly humane manner, ' ' Mr. Wyndham added: "I remind the house that the Transvaal is a party to the Geneva convention." Lord Wolseley further says: "I have also received from General Walker at Capetown the following: "The laet message from Kimberley on October 22, 2 p. m., reports 'all well.' " (NATIVES TO KEEP QUIET. London, Oct. 24. 'According to run ners Who have arrived at Kimbeney from Kuruman, British Bechuanaland, a resident magistrate recently presid ed at a council of native chiefs.
