Leave Holland to Fight For the B;ers. THE CLAIM STILL MADE THAT M'KINLEY WILL BE ASKED BY : THE CONTINENTAL POWERS TO ACT AS MEDIATOR BELEAG UERED LADY SMITH. Londoni, Oct. 28. The spirit of en thusiasm with which the English en tered upon the war in South Africa is disappearing. Even the masses now understand !i a serious and grievous business which the country Mas on ita hands. The victories, it is beginning to be whispered, have1 coist too much, and the price already paid is too high f or the mere concession of two years in the Transvaal naturalization laws, or even the possession of the republic it self. The popular clamior.for revenafe for Majuba Hill has entirely disap peared. In its place there is a grim and sorrowful determination to put the war through thoroughly. The country, which at first ignored or flouted the unanimous bJastilit-- of the continental press, is new regarding their hostility seriously. While it is undoubtedly -nie that no power, or combination of powers, has any present intention of intervention, Lord Rose berry was right in his speech of yes terday in saying that any disaster to British arms might lead her rivals to seek profit toy British difficulties. TVs is why aggression by Brttteh forces in Natal will be a defensive aggression, to use a paradoxical phrase, until overwhelming forces arrive. DUTCH AID BOERS. The military eBtuation In kuth Afri ca has not imprpvced in' the past few days. The news on essential points is very meagre. Never wa 'news cen sorship so strict. The British gov ernment has received positive infor mation that a corps of "a thousand men has seQretly been raised in Holland to help the Boers and that 200 are al ready en route. The remainder will follow in small detachmenlts. The ren dezvous will be at Koomati Port, on the Transvaal-Portueruese frontier. The men will travel as i returning Trans vaal citizens,' and It is not believed that the Porugiiese authorities can prevent them fromi proceeding over the railway to the frontier. It is believed that the Transvaal's intention 'to issue letters of marque hag been abandoned, owing to the vigilance of the British warships in the English channel, which would! make it hope less for any privateer to get clear into the open sea without being observed. Except as to Holland there appears to be no popular sympathy with 'the Boers sufficiently sttrong to induce sympa thizers to run risks. LATEST FROM MAFEKING. Capetown, Oct. 28. A telegram from Maf eking, dated the 21st. says that all are well." The only a result of a four hour bombardment 'by the Boers was a dog killed. London. Odt. 28.

THE BOERn. iLondon, Oc 28. A Capetown - aes- patch, dated this morning, says: "Scouts from Modderspruit having' re ported the Boers N in force on HelDTma- kaiar road, General White ordered out a strong force of artillery, mounted in fantry and cavalry. A small patirol of mounted infantry was shelled by the Boere nine miles from Lady Smith and the Boer position finally located three miles beyond Modderspruit. The British force is now four miles from the Boere." The despatch does not give the date of 'the above occurrence, but it must have been s'ince Thursday, when; the latest news arrived from Lady Smith, so the Boer advance from Dundee i southward and from Bes tor's station eastward, evidentlv proceeded siteadilv t during the interim. THE CAPTURE OF DUNDEE. " I Fragmentary details are arriving of of the occupation of Dundee by the Boere. It is alleged that twenty men of the town guard occupied an out- the men fled to a neighboring hill, where 300 B'oers surrounded them and shdt the majority. The Boers then entered Dundee, dragging several ci- in'il io nc nut T hoi r Vi n l T r: 'i n Tiic;iftll(-wl them m the streets . A story comes from Capetown to the effect that several cases of dumdum, bullets were found by the Boers at Dundee, which the British abandoned on flight. Some of the Boers wanted to use dumdums in the next battfe, but President Kruger vetoed. . The bullets were destroyed. i ' LOBATSI LOOTED Further details from Buluwayo, Rho desia, show that an armored train from there on October 17, sent towards Mafeking under command of Lr&uten ant Llewellyn, got within seven ' miles of Lobatsi, where the British found the railroad badly damaged. The Boers were visible on the hills in the vicinity. Lobatsi had been looted. The train en- General Sir George Stewart White. THe British forces in1 Na'tal have fallen back from Glencoe and Dundee to concentrate at Lady Smith-. only when menaced by overwhelming num -bers of the enemy. That a battle is impending near Lady Smith seems cer tain, and if General Sir George Stew art White can maintain! his foothold there against the Boers until reinforce ments reach him -ill be an importanlt victory for British arms. All tihey have to do no- is to hold on and wait for reinforcements. Unle he Boers can riddle ithem with artillery fire or can attack them in such heavy masses as to rusn. thei"- -lines, without regard to the slaughter wrought by the Maxims, it is reasonable to think that White can weather the storm. countered Boer three miles south of Crocodile Pools and the British opened with Maxims and drove the Boers back to the hills, whence they advanced. Besides eight men killed, the Boers lost eleven horses. . AUSTRALIAN TROOPS.

Paris, Oct. 28. Further inquiry in diplomatic quarters tends to confirm the report that the powers are arrang ing for intervention between England and the South African republics. This; action is not taken in any spirit of hostility against England, and the' "re sult is to be achieved through 'the' me diation of President McKinley. The departure of the Russian foreign min ister for St. Petersburg is believed ;to be connected with the matter. It , is thought he wiW report to the czar the results of the pourparlers which have been exchanged in Paris. It is be--lieved in stemi-official c'ircles now that the powers 'are practically unanimous in respect, to 'the steps to be followed. The selection of McKinley as media tor is a token of the intention of the powers to respect England's amour propre. ... OPPOSED IN HOLLAND.

TO OBSERVE THE WAR ENGLAND DOES NOT WISH FOUR OF OUR OFFICERS TO ACCOM- . PANT HER ARMIES. Washington, Oct. 28. The govern ment, has ascertained that England is not disposed to grait Sts request that four American army officers be per- minted to observe the British opera- tions in the Transvaal, and that re- Quest m&y withdrawn. England has no oojecwon to allowing one officer, captain Slocum, military attache at t : cil in j. - a-l Berlin, 'to accompany General Buller, and permission has already been grant ed him.

Senators Sewell and Cnllnm Speak On the Subject. Washington, Oct. 28. Senators Sew ell and Cullom are here today. Sena tor Cullom said it wTas uncertain whether congress would make a decla ration in regard to the intentions of the United States in the Philippines. He expressed a doubt as to whether any declarationi by congress would have any effect on the Filipinos. He de clared that the proper action for 'the I United 'States was the one it is now pursuing, through the enforcement of iits, authority. Senator Sewell declared that the first thing was to suppress the insurrection. The only way to deal with the Fili pinos, Vie said, was with powder, ba1! and bayonet. This was the only au-thor-" they would respect. The sooner we showed the insurgents we are in earnest the sooner reace would toe re stored. The president is alive to the situation, Mr. Sewell said, and is handling it skillfully. FIGHTING IN LUZON, Washington!, Oct. 28. The war de partment today received the following from Otis: .

Lse Conley Will Be Asked to Give Names. In the Criminal court yesterday Lee Conley, colored: was broughlt up and asked to explain why he toad not paid a certain bMl of costs. With a marked degree of assurance, Conley stated that Doth parties" had informed him that the costs had been oaid. For some reason this "both parties" story did not seem altogether definite to the court, and the sable delinquent Was pressed for someithing more tangible. The answer then came that both po litical parties had eiven attention to the matter. Conley's assertion of political aid made an 'impression on the attorneys present, and Solicitor Webb "and D. M. Luther called on him to give names. This he could not, or did not do. Thursday the case will again t brought up, and Mr. Luther intends to make a strong effort to v induce Con ley to tell the court who assured him that the costs referred "to had been set tled.

EX-CUBAN OFFICERS REFUSE PO SITIONS APPROXIMATE ESTI MATES OF HAVANA'S POPULA TION GIVES CITY A QUARTER OF A MILLION INHABITANTS. Havana, Oct. 28. The dismissal of. General Rivera is c'ivil governor has stirred up 'the revolutionary elements. Secretary of State Capote is held re sponsible for the trouble and i3 bitter ly attacked by the revolutionary press. Rivera still occupies the -governor's of fice, and stays he has neither resigned nor received notification of dismissal. The Cuban, veterans' (association is taking advantage of 'the row to re new their agitation against the gov ernment. Their organ attacks every thing American. A number of or-Cuban officers, since (the trouble, have refused to accept of fices offered them by Capote. Their refusal 'is probably the result of agita tion on the part of he veterans' asso ciation! 'to prevail on all members the organization to refuse positions from what they term .an intervening government. Major Gastellanos. a notorious anti American, tried to start a demonstra tion, against Americans at the Regala tonight. The police prohibited the meeting.

THE REVOLT IN COLUMBIA Panama, Oct. 28.

There has been no out break in this vicinity, and business 'is going on as usual. Even the financial conditions are unchanged. The bridges on the line of the Cartagena & Mag dalen railroad, which were partly de stroyed by the insurgents by being blown up with dynamite a few days ago, have been repaired. So far the efforts of the insurgents to develop a general revolt against the rovprnment have' been unsuccessful. 3 An attpmtt. was made to seize General Jose Santos, the minister of war, but without success.
