White's Report of Mon- day's Disaster. Stampede of Mules Said, to Have Been, The Chief Cause. LONDON TIMES THINKS THAT THIS STORY IS INCREDIBLE 4 'AND SUGGESTS - THAT NATIVE , DRIVERS .MUTINIED IN SYMPA THY WITH BOEHS. iLondon, Thursday. Nov. 2. General White's depatch of Tuesday is the lot- est news regarding1 the situation in Natal. The silence imposes a pain- i ful strain on public anxiety, for it is the geneflal belief that. White is in an 'awkward positioni.- It is arimoumced that fthe cessation of press despatches is due to a break in one of the cables, and the fact that the other cabWe is occupied with govern men despatched aJid. orivate inquiries from friends to troorjs. Many fear that it is more likely due to the enemy hav- Lin.g got south of Lady Smith and sev ered communicaion . Inview of the 'fact that the earliest reinforcements are yett a week distant, from Durban the public derives comfort from the belief that the warships have eent several detachments inland besides the con tingent at ' Lady Smith. It is sbaited that a strong naval force holds the bridge across the Tusre'la ' river at Cofi en so. . ; " There is comprete absence of news respecting Kimberley and Mafeking. GENERAL VHtTi: S REPORT; London Nov. 1. The British war of fice today made public-a despatch re ceive?! fromi General! Sir George Stew art White describing Monday's opera tionis. It is as follows: Lady Smith. Oct. 31. I took out from i Lady Smith a bnisade of mount ed troops, two brigade divisions of the Royal arti'l'lory .a Naitial fieldi battery and two brigades of infantry to re connoiter in, force the enemy's posi tion to the north, and if opportunity should offer,' to dapture the hill behind Farquahar'si fjarm. which on the pre vious day was held by the enemy. "In connection wilth this advance a column consisting of the Tentih moun tain artillery, four companies of the Gloucesters and six companies of the Royta1 Irish fusilteers, the whole'' under Iiieuten&nltColonel Carlton. . . THE PLAN OF ATTACK. Major, Adie, deputv assistant adju tant general, was despatched to march by night up Belspruit and seize Nich olson's Nek or some position near Nich olson's Nek, thus turning the enemy's right flank. The miain advance was successfully carried out, the objective of attack was found evacuated and aa artMery duel between the field 'bat teries and the enemy's guns on the po sition and the Maxims is understood to have caused heavy lss to the ene my. ' The reeonnoisanee forced the enemy to .disclose their position, and after a Strong counter attack on fur right, the infantry brigade and cavalry, wre re pulsed, the troops were withdrawn to Camp Picketts on the, Heft of the ob servation. - 'i "Lalte in the engagement the nava! contingent came into action and silenc ed the enemy s guns. MULES STAMPEDED. "Colonel Carlton seems 'to have - car ried out the night march unmolested unitil within two miles of- Nicholson's Nek. HeTe ' ;two ibouilders were rolled from the hill and "la few rifle , shots atjampededl the infantry . ammunition- mules. ! .. "The stampede spread to the battery miiles. which broke loose from ithe leadens1 and got away with practically the whole gun equipment and a great er portion' of the reerimientair small arm ammunition." The - reserve iJkniiarly loet. The Shfaintry Taattalions fixed bayonets, and aecomipanied by the per-: somnel of the artillery seized "the hill km. the left of the road with liltle'op positionr" They remained unmolested until dawn, the time peing occupied in onganftzin'g a defense of the hill and consructing stone sangars and wall as a cover (from the fire,. -"At flawna skirmish attack .upom our position was ' ccninei:ed - by ? tne ' ejie- myeurict strong reinforcements 'enabled in "rush .the attack, with great energy.

ESCAPED CAPTURE. ' London, Nov. 1. A despatch. to .the Exchtamg Telegraph company from Pietermaritzburg, dated October 31, says thaft stragglers from the Glouces- tersmre regiment - ana a number - or mules, which formed 'oart of the mounr tain ibatteryf captured by the Boers', are arriving at Ladv Smith.. HAMILTON AND ROSEBESRY SPEAK. London, Nov. 1. Secretary of State' for India Hamilton, in Ealing today, declared that the disaster in South Af rica wia far from dismaying to the British. He said that when the Victory was won and the victor's terms known, even the conquered would see that England had not embarked in a con troversy for pebuniarv benefit or ter ritorial aggrandizement. Speaking- tonight at a farewell, din ned to Scott's Greys and Gordon High landers at Edinfburg'. ex-Premier Rob bery said that ngrlishmon must be prepared for reverses such as occurVed at Lady Simith.: The English had ex perienced many of them and managed t)o extricate themselves. In the long run the war would cost more thai it had 'already and the loss might be more than yet dreamed, but the British had to .see it through. NAVAL STRENGTH OF BRITISH. 'London, Nov. 2. The newspaper express relief over General White's in formiation that the lost column did not yield until it was practically defence less . The government does not allow any definite statement regarding the naval strength in South Africa, but it is believed that there are eight vessels of various classes iat Capeltown 'and its neighborhood and six at Durban. THEORY OF LONDON TIMES. London, Nov. 2.-The Times finds it difficult to 'believe in the story of the mule stampede, it declares that a itirained battery of imaiips were never known to stampede. ,They have re peatedly made night marches in India without mishap. It assumes that Co lonel! Carietion's mules were under na tive care. It recalls recenttly the re ported mutiny of native muleteers and suggests that the Boers or their sym.' pathizer 'tampered with the drivers and the rolling of 'boulders, was the signal for thw, to desert. It suggests the alternative that the natives be came panic stricken and bolted with the animals. BANISHED RESIDEtNTS. Durban, October 31. (Delayed.) A train load of banished residents of La dv Smith aried today. IToWy pas sengers arrived fromi Delagoa Bay. Half of them ,were refused permission to land on the ground that they were undesirable.
