The commands engaged was impeded Owing to the want of artillery, which was i subsequently obtained from Gen eral Croupe.. 1 Hue r Prisoners Flreed. !

Today's news from the western bor der probably f educes the alleged heavy fighting at Mafeking to ordinary pro portions, i Apparently ,the earlier sensa tional story originated in the skirm ishes between the arnioned train and small detachments of Bders, although eince then niuch jnay have happened to the little garrison. It is difficult to understand how refu gees arriving at Lcrepzo. Marqnez 6hould have come into possession of news of serious Boer loss3 at Mafeking. At the same time it must be remem bered that much news from the Trans vaal 4s likely to come by the way of Ddlagoa bay, as most other channels are strictly censored. . Dundee Is Evacuated.

' I The Boers are resting, preparatory,? it seems, to completing their encircling movement for an attaclf upon Dnndle.
