The Boers Contest Every Foot of His Progress. Natal Situation Is Brighter. London, Nov. 27.-5 a. m. No further news respecting Lord Methuen's advance nas been received, and the absence of ofn cial details regarding his losses creates the greatest suspense, especially since the publication of the sacrifices endured by tne naval brigade. JNo alarm, however, is felt as to his position, despite the evi dence that the Boers intend to contest every foot of the way. It was known that, in the absence of sufficient cavalry, he would be compelled to advance very slowly, and he has a preference for njght or early dawn attacks, whieh events seem to have justified the Boers in being decidedly averse to darkness for their op- The fact that in the Gras Pan action one British battery fired 500 rounds, proves the desperate nature of the fight, ana tnere is little doubt that the casual' ties were heavy- It is now known that no ? guns I were captured in the Belmont engagement. Meanwhile the news from Natal is dis tinctly more hopeful from the British point of view. The details are rather vague, but it seems certain that the Boers are retiring; that railway communica tion is being reopened, and that the Bnt- ,isn reliel forces are joining hands. All this, with Gen. Buller's arrival at Pietermaritzburg, is expected to make matters move briskly very soon. Gen. Hildyard's reconnoissance is praised as a work of great diflttculty, and admirably executed. . . The. Cubans are showing continued op position to a civil governor general.

Attorney Rouse's Opinion Is That Act Under ' Which Bonds Were Voted Is Valid. Another Effort Will Be Made to Dispose of the Bonds. After a delay of several months, a defi nite. answer was received Sunday from Stafford & Co., who had contracted to buy the bonds of the town of Kinston. They expressed much regret that they could not dispose of the bonds, and as signed the following us their reason: The constitution of the State of North t'aroliua requires that for municipalities to issue bonds, an act authorizing a vote upon the question must bo passed by the legislature, and that the act must pass three readings in each legislative hall. up on three separate days, and that at the second and third readings the nyq aiul nnv vote must be taken. The record of the laws passed by the last legislature showed that the act au thorizing a vote by the people of Kinston on the question of issuing bonds passed the lower body of the legislature accord ing to law. The senate record showed that the bill passed its first reading cor rectly, but passed third reading twice. The senate record does not show where it passed its second reading. This error was discovered several months ago, and to try to remedy it, alfl davits were secured from Mr. C. C. Dan iels, chief clerk of the senate, and from the State librarian that the bill passed its several readings correctly. ; ' The law firm who had contracted to take the bonds did not consider that this could remedy the error, and cited that the courts of North Carolina had decided technical errors in other cases against bondholders. Yesterday afternoon a' meeting of the town aldermen was held, and it was de cided to make an effort,to place the bonds with other parties who nad bid tor tnem The technical error in the law passed by the legislature is due, to the careless ness of the senate clerks in engrossing it wronir In the senate loarnaL;! , The failure to sell the bonds has placed our town aldermen in ..somewhat of a dilemma. No steps will: be taken until the question is definitely settled as to whether the bonds can be sold or not. The attorney for the town, Mr, X.J Rouse, holds the opinion that the act un der which the bonus were voted is valid, and would be so held by the supreme court. The town aldermen have done their full duty in the matter, and no blame can at tach to them in the least. The error, throwing thedoubtexpressed by Stafford & Co. upon the validity of. the act, is a clerical error, made by some incompetent cleric ra the clerical department or tne last legislature. ; , f Xfc"Hnary Prrcn'jtlon.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 26. Sunday brought a lull in the political situation to all outward appearances. There were no significant developments from Goebel headquarters, though Goebel and his managers remained in conference during the day. There is a general impression outside that some important move is to ' be made by the Goebel side this . week, ' and it is generally supposed that a man datory injunction suit to prevent the state election . board from counting the ' vote of Jefferson. Knox and Johnson . counties will be part of it, though this is not confirmed by any one in authority. It is doubtful if Gov. Bradley would recognize Goebel as governor if given a certificate of election by t he State election ' board unless its action was in obedience to a ruling of the court. In that event ' it is believed he would resist no further, but would ask Taylor to contest before1" the legislature. Neither Bradley, Taylor, nor any of the Republican leaders, how- ever, believe that the Court of Appeals, in ' the face of its decision m the Nelson county case yesterday, will grant an injunction,' and are today more confident than ever that the State election board will give Taylor a certificate of election. In Taylor circles it Is claimed that two of the three State commissioners, Ellis ' and Pryo, are sure to vote to stand fcy the vote in every county as it appears on ' the face of the re turns.' 1 Used By British Soldiers In Africa.
