The dispatch says that Joubert was .killed in the action of the 9th Inst. No de tails are given. That was on the day the British reconnoisance from East court revealed the fact . that Lady smith was undergoing a fierce general bombardment. The place was seen to1 be thickly enveloped in smoke, fires having been started at several paints in the town by exploding shells. IS JOUBERT DEAD? London, Nov. 16 A dispatch re ceived today from Pietermarltzburg, dated 11th inst., says it is rumored there that the report that Joubert was killed in action is a fact. The news comes from two independent sources. This makes many here believe it is true. MOVEMENT TO RELIEVE KXMBKRLEY. Cape Town, Nov. 16 A movement to relieve Kimbe ley has begun.' As fat as the troops have debarked from the transports they have been sent north on trains. Their destination is kep t a secret, but De Aar, 146 miles from Kimberley. is th suspected Brit ish base.

Boers have been sent to Pretoria from Mafe king as a result of the fl-st engagement at the latter place, wh-n Col Baden Powell fired the mines of Lyddite under the Boer forces. RAILROAD DYNAMITED. Eastcourt,' Nov. 13 (de'ayed) The Boers are steadily drawing closer. A number of Boer commanders have been seen south of Tugila. The activ ity of the Boers indicates a possible attack upon this place. The signal corps, under command 01 Uapt. Key- ser, has been out all day trying to communicate with Ladysmith. The attempts were unsuccessful. A force of about 500 Boers stezed Chieveley station and dynamited the railroad in I two places. They withdrew at the ap proach of the British pat ol. J OU BERT'S DEATH NEEDS CONFIRMA TION. London, Nov. 16 Though the re port of Joubert's death comes from different sources it obviously needs conformation before being accepted. At the same time many believe the re port well founded, as his death is said to have occurred on the 4th inst , when the Boer riflemen were understood to be within fifteen hundred yards of Ladysmith. As severe fighting oc curred the same day, it is regarded in some quarters that it is quite possible that the general was always noted by English sharpehoo ers. number of highly respectable people live there and are com patent and capa ble of performing the functions of postmaster, yet Mr. McKinley's ad ministration goes to Troy, ight miles away, and appoints one A F. Sanders as postmaster to succeed the present incumber t, Mr. Martin, who has been postmaster ever sinoe the otfloe was established years ago, and was first called Filo- Mr. Martin did not suit the revenue gang who are running af fairs now, so 'they Imformed him. They charged that ha was' an aotlve democrat, and was In the employ of democrats, none of which charges Mr- Martin denies. Therefore he was con sidered an Unfit person for postmaster in th town of Blseoe, where there are no white republicans. 80 they go off eight miles to the neighboring town of Troy to get a postmaster. Twelve months ago they wouH no doubt have selected a negro, but since the last election and with te amend ment proposition staring them in the face, republicans are not appointing so many postmasters.

And Think It Would Be Fo'ly for the Democrat to Oppose It at ' Next Year's Election, Special to The Telesram. . WashingVMi.D. C , Nov 18 Senator Sullivan, .of Mississippi, has just re turned to the city, having come for the session of congrese which .will con vene next "month. The senator while here Is .stopping at the Riggs House. In conversation the senator expressed the opioioQ that the election just held was without special significance. He thinks there is no reason why either party thould feel over elated or over depressed at the results. For instance, he says, that he expected Ohio would go republican, and that Nebraska would go democratic In Maryland, he admitted that the result as of an encouraging nature to the democracy , and he expects to see that state remaiu in the democratic column next year. Senatof Sullivan is an ardent sup porter of President McKinley's foreign policy, and is an advocate of expan sion.

The senator says that in his opinion to antagonise the policy of the presi ent in the Philippine matter next year will be folly for the democracy. As for bimelf, he says, he believes thai ibe doctrine of expansion is the only right one, and that there . will .be no sagacity In opposing the issue simpiy becaneeit first happened to become the policy of the national administration.
