Under this schedule they will convey the first rmy corps of 0,000 men and they will leave daily until the entire corps is cm barked. London, October 14. The Roers have occuplod New Castle, Natal. The War Department has received au otilcial dis- atch from General While stating that a reconnoiterlng party was sent yesterday i the direction of Van Reenans pass, he Boers made no attempt to come through the pass and attack. The Bril- sh forces returned to Ladysmith where they now remain. There was no en gagement between the two farces. London, Oct. 14 The war orlice to- ighl issued a statement regarding the destruction of the armored trains. One train was destroyed at Kraal Pan. The other train reported from Kimber ly as missing returned later in safety. rom the train that was destroyed the Kimherly engineer and one native es caped from Ihe train. The engineer i oumlcd in the hand. Captain Nesbitt was slightly wounded and a number of icn were captured by the Boers. It is nkiiown but it is believed thai ihey were not Injured. London, October 13 A dispatch by way of Paris late this afternoon says: The Boers, with 12 guns, are preparing o assault Mafeking." Makkkinu, Bechuannlnnri, Oct. 18 Vs the Boers, in strong force, threaten his place, the situation Is so serious that nnncombnlants have been notified that Ihey will be taken away at tho ex pense of the Imperials Government and oused at Cape Town. Ivimukiu.ky, Cape Colony, October 13 Cecil llhodes rode out to the camp ere this morning. Lie suys he assumes that mining and lighting will proceed iumltaneously. Tho town guards paraded at 4 o'clock Llits afternoon. A camp will be formed and the guards will be distributed at tixed stations. The banks closed early in order to allow their employes to attend he parade. Fortifications aud earthworks are still being rapidly constructed. The news of the ultimatum was received here with satisfaction. London, Oct. 14. The Times this morning discussing the war situation, ays: II is idle lo ignore ihc fact that if the Boers make a determined advance on a large scale into Natal, as appears to be the case, a sustained condition of master ly inactivity might become hopelessly out of the question. 'Wo have no means of estimating ex actly the number of troops at Ladysmith, Ulencoe and Dundee, and If we had it would not be expedient to discuss the point. But If 12,000 Free State troops are to be reckoned In, addition to Com mandant-General Joubert's contingent, the situation is undoubtedly graver than t seemed yesterday and further details will be awaited with anxiety. A point. In favor of the defense is that the Free State and Transvaal Boers are not accustomed to working In unison, and that any attempt on their part to apply the principle cf converging col umns to an attack on Ladysmith would not be likely to meet with complete suc cess. 'If you scour the world you will never find a remedy equal to One Minute Cough Cure," says Editor Facklcr, of the Micanopy, FJa., "Hustler." It cured bis family of La Orlppe and saves tbous ands from pneumonia, bronchitis, croup and all throat and lung troubles. F S Duffy BOER IDEAS OF WAR. Set a Price On the Head of Cecil Rhodes, the Great South African. London, Oclolier IB South African reports declare that President Krugcr's Government has put a price af $25,000 upon Cecil Rhodes' head as be Is re garded as having had more to do with bitnging on tho trouble with England than any other man in South Africa. Tho Government, of the Transvaal will glv this money to any Doer who will take Rhodes dead or alive. An excellent chance to capture Cecil Rhodes was lost by tho Boers on Wed nesday, while Rhodes was on his way to Klmberley. Tho train was delayed by a slight accident, and bo passed aiodder River three hours after tba ultimatum beautiful lives. Not long ago Mr. Lacy expired.

The Daily Tcl eraph's war correspondent semis the following, dated Lady sin i t i i , Natal, Sun day: "All is quiet along the front. The Iioers on the western side are still keep ing near the passes, though within the Natal border. Fine weather and moon light nights may induce a forward move ment on their part, or at any rate some raids. "The only shooting so l;tr has consis ted in an interchange of -hots between patiols on the Dundee side, and a party of Boers who had tom il the lluffalo river, hut no losses occiii red. "The British camp :.t Ladysmith is in a splendidly defensible situation. It is n a healthy place and the British men aud horses aro in good condition. Iloer patrols havu been seen occasionally, but they wcie 1-' miles from tiie camp." "Boers are strongly fortifying in trenched position in Van lieenan's l'ass and down .-is far as Brakwal." The Daily News correspondent nt Cape Town Iris interviewed r.nrineer Flow erday, of the armored train destroyed at Kraalpan. lie says the iioers opened lire from a holiow close to the laiiioad. A party of i." men took shelter in the ar mored c ir, and a heavy rifle lire was kept up all night. When morning broke, the Boers brought up artillery. The de fenders hung out Hags of true, but these Flowerday says, were disregarded by the Iioers, who continued tiring for a qiiar ter of an hour more. Then they ceased Several of the British were wounded Flowerdav savs. but lie believes none were killed. London, Oct. 15 At 0 o'clock this evening the Government had received no new of a battle In South Africa and did not expect any, believing that no battle is nrobable for a few days, except at Mafeking, communication with which place has been cut aud for which con siderable anxiety is felt. Elsewhere il is believed that the Brit ish will remain chiefly on the defensive Heavy rains and snows are reported, which hamper tho Boer movements. They are perhaps finding that they be gan too lale to obtain the initial succes ses counted uiion. They evidently find the advance upon Ladysmith dillicult is said here; as Gen. Sir Oeorge Stewart White's reconnoisauce seems to have Biifliced to deter them for the present. The peaks of the Drakensberg range on the edge oi Natal, are now snow cov ercd, and the storms which have occurred must have caused the Boers great dis comfort, which probably explains their failure to attack General White London, October 15 The Daily Mail's Cape Town correspondent, telegraphing Sunday evening, says "Klmberlv la beseigned and the Boers are massing in force. No details, how rever, are obtainable. "The Boers have cut the railway at Belmont, have sei.ed the Spy to Fonteln railway station and south of Kimherly and constructed fortified earthworks "There are strong defending forces at Modder Bridge and the Oiange Klvcr Bridge.
