ENGLISH-BOER WAR.' i The Clash in South Africa has Come and War Has Begun.

Tbt knnai dtel .ration occurred at 10 o'c'ock this morning. Yryburg, Cape Cidony, Oct. 12. Afternoon. A bdy of Hoers have cut the border fence, advanced to thL railway and cut the telegraph wires. Two thousand Bnrrs are now occu pying the railway line. London, Oct. 12.-Wheti the cabinet meets at noou to-day it is evident the Roer advance will be in full swing. Judging from present appearances, the Boers are preparing for a simultaneous invasion at live separate points Lamp's Neck, Kimberlv, Yry burg, Alafekiog, ud L&bati. Therefore it is almost impossible to guess the plan of campaign So far as news received thus far shows, no shot has as ret been fired. The evacuated dis trict between Charletown and Newcastle, Ntal, has an area of 230 square miles nod consists chit fir H hilly moor land sparse ly populated. The facohsdftl commando of th?

Other wise the presence of 3,000 Boers between Matekiag and Maribo go is incomprehensible. It is possible however, that they hav merely cut the telegraph wire and taken postession of the line. Maftklng, Cape Colon t, Oct 13 As the Boers in strong fore? threaten this plp.ee, the situation is so serious that all non-com-bntcnts have been notified tliot they will be taken away at the expense of the imperial rovern ment and housed at Cape Town.

A camp will be formed and the men will be dis tributed at various points. The banks closed early in order to allow their employes to attend the parade. I'ortihc4tion3 and earthworks are still being rapidly construct cd. The news of the ultimatum was received with satisfaction The telegraph line between ICraainan and Maritzana south o Mafekino;. has been cut, and a strong commando of Boers has occupied the Kraatpan Railway siding. London, Oct. 14. According r di?Datchcs from the front, the Boers have made several attacks upon Mafekiug, all of which have been repulsed. As Mwfektng is cut Git tele graphically, the stories from that point are generally of Kaffir origin and must be regard ed with suspicion. The Boers, it is reported, have seized the railway station north of Fourteen Streams, between Yryburg and Kimberlcy. Fight- ds is still continuing in tnc neighborhood. A dispatch from West Darkly. Bechuanaland, says the Dutch farmers along the Transyaal orders are showing the inten tion of joining the Boers. Two months ago the secretary oi state ior war, iut .uaiiu,a " Lansdowue, offered Buller com mand of the projected array corps. Sir Rcdvers gave a poinc blank refusal unless the war fiice would guarantee htm between C0.000 and U,UUU men. lie is quoceu as uaou5 said on that occasion: "I shall not be handed down in history cs another Sir George Colley." The reference, of course, was to the defeat at Majuba Hill. He also said that if he were to go it must be on the distinct understanding that he could select his own staff, and would b? entirely uninterfered with by the war office. Southampton, England, Oct 14 The airivttl and embarka tion of Gen. Sir Redvers Buller, wno win nave tne cnier com mand in Afitci. was the occa sion for n scene of frantic en thusiAsm. Thousandsof towns people end visitors swarmed near the quay, where the mayor of Southampton welcomed Gen. Buller, amid dafening cheers and the wavini; of handker chiefs, hats, aiH walking sticks Sir Redvers stalling acknorvl edged the demonstration, and went imeirdiatelv on board the steamer, entering the captr.tn's cabin, herf be bade farewell to Lady Buller and his daughter Cape Town, Oct. 15 The Boers are concentrating nt Ncv cattle, probably preparatory to attacking Ladysmlth. From the north and west, bodies of well equipped Boers are moving toward Newc stie, skir mishes with scattered British io'ces being reported from sever al points. The Boers posses Braktval Station, 23 miles v,tit of Lndz smith, and detachments have also been seeu by carbineers at Besters, two stations nearer. Two Imperial officers also dis covered a column of 400 Botrs going in the direction of Modder River bridge from ohannesbmg. London, Oct. 10 The Daily Mail's Cape Town correspond ent, telegraphing Sunday even ing, says. "Kimbetly is beseigrd, and the Boers are massing in force. No details, however, are obtaina ble" "The Boers have cut the rfil way at Belmont, eelzed the Spy fontein Railway station and con structed fortified earthwork. There are strongdefendingforec at Modder and Orange River bridges. "The object of thete .ncrgetic operations is belie-ed to be the capture of Cecil Rhodes. Kira brrly is now isolated, both rail way and telegraphic communi cation being cut." The Insurgents Scattered. Washington, Oct. 14 The fol lowing cablegram was received to-day from General Otis: "Manila, Oct. 14. Scbwan's column swung into Imus from Das Marinas yesterday morning; camped at Bcoor last night; has scattered insurgents, who are probably retiring by detach ments on Indiang. Condition of roads prevented fur ther pursuit; 125 men of the Thirty-Seventh Yolunteers, Ma jor Cheatham, drove insurgents south and westward from the lake town of Muntinlupa yester day, pursuingthem several miles, and retired to Bacoor last night by Zapoto river roads; leos, three men killed, two wounded, one missing. Schwan's move ment was very successful; in flicted heavy loss on men and property of the southern insur gent army; he reports their cas ualties as two hundred killed and four hundred wounded; their stored supplies destroyed.

A poor man died suddenly in the ity of New York. The news papers have been telling about it since. He had a hard struggle lor happiness. He was poor in deed. There was trouble in his home constantly. Death took his oldest boy at manhood's threshold. Another son was estranged and lived apart. A brother's home was clouded in scandal. Paralysis put its grim touch upon hl3 own body and he walked these years nerveless and limp. He scoured sea and land for rest, worked overtime and spent ten minutes only for a full lunch hour. His home was threatened by envious fools. His small possessions a few millions, more or less, of money brought him care and vexation. Insomnia banished sleep. Rheu matism racked his frame, and at the board meetings he sat as lifelt ss as a mummy in its grave clothes. His name was Vander- bilt. and his poverty was great. There are a hundred men in this eood town of Orange who had greater wealth than he who held railwaj'S in his enfeebled grasp larger wealth in all that makes life worth living. And now death has claimed the poorman Yesterday a millionaire and wor shipped by the silly fools whom gold dazzles as the candlelight the moth; to day a pauper, and to-morrow, dust. A sick, slave has died. And the whole world struggles madly for his empty place. Orange Observer. GENERAL NEWS. Admiral Sampson has been de tailed at commander of the Bos ton Navy Yard and has already taken charge. A monument to the memory of the Confederate soldiers of the Eastern shore of Virginia will be unveiled to-day at Parks- ley, Accomac county, Virginia. Arrangements have been made for the unveiling of the monu ment in Hollywood Cemetery at Richmond, Va.. to Mis Winnie Davis. Hon. B. B. Munlord, of Ricbmemd, has been cboseo ora tor for the occasion, which is November 9th. A convention of delegates .roai socialist women's organizations which began Sunday evening in Faulhaber's Hall, in New York, was brought to an abrupt close by the death on the platform of Mrs. Florentine Cantius-Lange, who was stricken with apo plexy while she was addressing the meeting. A dispatch from Batavia, capi tal of the Netherlands Indies, Jaya, says that a violent earth quahe has visited the south side of the island of Ctram, next to the largest of the Moluccas, be twein Booroo and Papua, com pletely destroying the town of Amhei and killing, it is estimat ed, some 4,000 people, as well as injuring some f00 others. The Bridgeport line steamer Nutmeg State was burned in Long Ieland sound off Sands Point, Long Inland, at sun rbe Saturday morning, and ten per sons, including three passengers, were burned to death or drown ed. Most of the passengers who escaped suffered nothing more than a shock from immersion in the chilly water, and only four persons were sent to the hos pital. I?our masked robbers seized the operator In a switch tower on Northwestern Railroad forty eight ni!es from Chicago Frida? night, dropped the red light on the signal tower and stopped the fast mail. They overpowered the crew, dynamited the safe of the American Express Company, and took twenty-five thousand dollars in cash, besides jewelry. They then ran the locomotive two mile and escaped. Wiison, La., a little town on the Yazoo und Mississippi valley railroad 125 miles above New Orleans, was the scene of a lynching Sunday, f. L. Smith, white, a former resident of the place, but late of the Buffalo Creek neighborhood in Wilkin-1 son county, Mississippi, was strung up to a limb of a tree after being wrested from the town marshal by a posse of citizens, bmith was charged with having been the leader of a cattle stealing gang that had in fested the county for year. Mail advices say that Bal- donaero Aguinaldo, brother of the Filipino leader, recently stole ,$80,000 from the insur gent treasury and with hye ser vants escaped to the American lines. While Baldomere was asleep the servants took the money from under bis pillow, divided it and escaped. Fearing to go to Manila penniless, Bal- domero returned to the Filipino capital and was imprisoned by orders of his brother, who de clares that he will not alter the death sentence when Baldomero is found guilty of treason. With the able assistauce of a chorus trained to burst into songs of thanksgiving at appro priate places the Rev. A. B. Simpson collected for his Chris tian and Missionary Alliance at its convention in Carnegie Hall, New York, Sunday morning, $15G,000 in pledges, and $400 in cash and its equivalent in goods. Under the head of equivalent were reckoned sever al watches, and a hat, coat and overcoat from an enthusiast who would have divested him self still further in the interest of the naked heathen but for the remonstrances of some cooler headed persons in his vicinity. In justice to the well-trained chorus it should be said that i: bursts into paeans of praise over a pledge of $1 as well as over one of $5,000. It didn't sing for a $100,000 pledge because the Rev. Mr. Simpson expressed a mild doubt as to whether that promise to pay wasn't too good to be true. At the afternoon cpcinn nhnnt 5RR OOO more n ns (pledged. STORY OF THE BOERS. How They Came to Settle the Transyaal. Gen. Piet Joubert, Vice Presi- elent of the South African Repub ? c, andcommander-io chief of its r rmy, tells the story of the Dutch Republic in the following lett er to the Chicago Record. With considerable surprise I c te in the newspapers that his ht nor, President Kruger, ' as been asked from Amerxa for his view of the present crisis Now, Mr. Editor, I would a&k. Who is i ii position lo so in icily de scribe the course ot events in these critical times that it would be intelligible to the genera) reader? One would have to be gin with the year 180G, when England took the Cape Colony Holland, whereby the Boerfe came under its control. To this they could not be reconciled, that control not being according to the traditions jf the African Boer, and so entered into con flict with his morality and cus tome that It could not be other wise than that a collision should occur between Boer and British rule. The consequence was that the Boer resolved to go inio the wilderness of South Africa rather than remain under Brit ish au tbority. PURSUED INTO THE WILIJEUXESS. That the Boer did, perhaps much against the liking of tbe English, but just as Israel left Egypt in the days of old, so did the Iloer leave Britain's territo ry. lie went forth to b: free, but was pursued by the power of Great Britain. When be found fair land to inhabit be was again overwhelmed bv Brit ish power, beaten and driven anew, until exhausted ar.d im poverished, he reached what is now the Orange Free State and tbe Transvaal, a land apparent ly so bad, so poor and so unsuit able for habitation by civilized people as net to be worthy of bi-mjr ruseu unaer England'' civilized and luxurious govern ment. Therefore it was good enough to be It ft to the despica ble and stupid P.ocr, and Great Britam renounced all claim to the north of the great (Orange) river nnd to the north of the Yaal river, and the- two Boer Republics were established in 1852 and 1854. The Boers, n.,w free uom Brit ish interference and control, ex tended their hospitality to every nationality, trusting the alien as implicitly as their own kith and kin, an evidence of which was the admission of "raw" Americans, Englishmen and oth ers ignorant of the Dutch lan guage to the voiksraad of 1875 and other periods. GOLD ATTRACTS SWINDLERS. Eventually, in this worthless country, gold and diamonds were found. This attracted swarms of English capitalists and fortune hunters. What did they? Not alone did thev strive jy their cunning to swindle the: Boers of their land's riches, but they found the government un suited for their purposes, the gorernmeut which had rescued the country from barbarism, made it habitable and subjected it to civilized law! Now they would have the control of the country in their own hands, and for this purpose England must be used. hat better than that the "oppression" of the alien be complained ol? Then the whole world will cry "Shame, shame. against the Transvaal' lben Mr. Chamberlain screams about suzerainity that the Boers will cot understand and on top of that he brings the franchise. Surely that finishes matters, for then the whole world hears of it! Yea, surely, for now the Transvaal, deserted by all civil ized or great powers, is unable to get an impartial investiga tion or arbitration, and must therefore bow the knee to Cham berlain and concede to his de mands, thereby losing its inde pendence, or set South Africa ablaze. That is the true position ol affairs. We hope and pray for peace, but we will not abandon our Republic and our independ ence so long as we live, cost what it may.

Frank Stanton Fillpinoa Plan to Take lloilo. Manila, Oct. 16. Mil advices from lloilo state that there is a great tension between the Vis ayans and Tagalos, growing out of the Tagalos holding Ara netea, a leader of the Yisayans, a prisoner, since the threatened Vlsayan revolt against Tagalo domination a month ago. The Visayans are incensed to the point of rebellion. While the Tagaios nominally control only tbe military organization of so called Filipino Republic, they have crowded out the Visayans from the civil branch, whereat there is great discontent. The Tagalos are reported to be con centrating troops on Panay at Santt Barbara, where Delgado, chief of the revolutionary gov ernment commands, with a yiew , to putting themselves in a po?i tiou to suppress the Visayans. Four thousand Tagalos who have been held in reserve at Capiz, in the northern part of the province of Panay,last week embarked in cascoes, the fleet's purpose being to land at Concep tion, where the troops would match tc Santa Barbara. Ad verse wind prevented the land ing, however. General Palion's forces from fcuena Vista are also reported to be going to Santa Barbara. The insurgents will have 12, 000 men and three or four thou sand rifle there. General Mag bann, according to letter, plans to attack the suburbs of lloilo with this force, to carry the city and slaughter the Americans. A body of Tagalos crossed from Santa Barbara to Esca lante, on the Islaad of Negros, for the purpose of aiding Inte papueio's bandits in keeping un der tbe inhabitants who aie friendly to the Americans. The insurgents made an attack upon Angeles at half pat two this morning. One American was killed and seven wounded. The Filipinos used artillery, a few shells exploding. The Sev enteentb, Nineteenth and Thir tieth regiments engaged the enemy, who retired at half past fiyc. From Treo to Printed Page. People whose business takes them to the stock yards delight iu telling how rapidly a live hog is converted into bacon, sausage and tooth brush, but the most improbable stories they tell do not equal the exploit of the em ployes of a paper mill not far irom Chicago. Quite recently three trees standing near the mill were felled at 7:30 a. m. and hurried to tbe manufactory, where tbey were sawn into pieces about one loot long. which were furtuer decorticated and split. They were then con veyed by the elevator to hve dc- fiberators to do their worst with, and the wood pulp which resulted from the contact of the chips with the dsfiberators was run into a mat, mixed with the not, altogether harmless but necessary chemicals and the pro cess finished. The liquid pulp wa3 sent to the paper machine, which at 9:34 turned out the first complete sheet of paper, one hour and filty-nine minutes after tbe first tree was felled. The manufacturers, accompanied by a notary public, then took the paper to a pnntiug establish ment two miles away, and by 10 o'clock, or in two hours and twenty-five minutes, the trees had been converted into news papers ready for delivery.
