Otis Xovt Trylnjr to Corner and Captare the Rebel Lender. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. A special to the Herald from Washington fays: "With force aggregating more than 30,000 fighting men Generals " Iaw ton, MacArthur and Wheaton are now closing in on Agulnaldo's atrr.y. General Otis set Nov. 5 and 6 as the dates for commencing the campaign 'all along the line and the War Department has Information to-day that the programme Is being carried out. General Otls's dispatches are optimistic in the highest degree, and the officials are predicting that the rebellion will tre crushed before the end of the present month and that Important victories will be announced within a few days. The military situation was thus analysed to-day by in official farr.lll;ir with General ' Otis' s plan of operation as reported to the War Department: " Agulnaldo. with his army greatly reduced, owing to recent disintegrations. Is at Bayambang, twenty miles north of Tarlac, which was hia headquarters and' the objective of Lawton'3 and MacArthur's armies t!p to a fortnight ago. General MacArthur moves northward along the railroad to Bayambang. takins the towns of Tarlac. Panaqu. Moncoda and others as he goes along. General Lawton moves northward from Colanatuan a his base, and with colurnni swerving to, the right and left to sweep the country to the Rio Agno and to head off Agulnaldo's escape to the mountains through the Rio Agno valley. At last accounts detachments from his command had taken Allaga. west of hl base, Talavera being to the north and Bayamtrung to the northwest. General Wheaton moves southward from Dagupan to Bayambang. His movements up to this time have been kept from the public, but now that the campaign Is in progress I am liberty to mention that he headed an expedition sent out on transports for the gulf of Lmgayen last week. The navy s tasK was to eneu the towns on th southern part of the gulf, so as to effect the safe landing of his expedition. " "Unless Agulnaldo has escaped to the eastward through tin Rio Ano xalley he ought to be caught between General "rVheaton's forces from the north and General MacArthur's from the south within the next forty-eight house, as Bayambang. where he is supposed to dc located, is less than twenty mile from Dagupan and about forty miles from Angeles. Although General MacArthur's main forces were at Angeles at last accounts It is believed that one or nis columns nas reacneo ana lunen Tarlac before this, that the railroad to that point is now in control of the American forces and that it is only a question of a few days when his command will reach Bayamburg. From the plan of campaign mapped out AgulnalrVs only possible means of escape would t rem to be to the eastward through th Rio Agno valley into the mountains, as the forces under Generals Iawton and MacAithur moving northward are keeping scouts we'l out to the front so as to prevent the enemy from escaping southV ft I'll "It seems to have been figured cut by the authorities that Agulnaldo would not attempt to cress the mountains to the north-eastward, because when he got on the other side he would be among people quite as hos tile to Tazais as tne American iroops. ie northern part of the island of Luzon is cut ofT from the central by high ranges of mountains. The other Fide is peopled by mixed races. Malay. Chinese and Negrito. It is said they are friendly to the United States and particularly bitter against the Taeals. "The War Department has not been advised as to the exact number of troops row engaged under Generals Lawton. MacArthur and Wheaton. but It Is estimated that of the 41,000 which General Otis reported he had yesterday at least are engaged in the campaign north of Manila. According to recent dispatches fmm General Otis there has been a general scattering of Agulnaldo's force, and one report Ptated that be did not have more than 2,000 men -with him at Bayambang. "General Otis expressed the opinion that the disintegration of Agulnaldo's men meant they were getting tired of war and predicted the surrender of a large number of bands In a short time. Some of the military experts fear General Otis la oversanguine on WEATHER FORECAST. Fair In Indiana and Ohio To-Day Light Easterly Wind. WASHINGTON.

LICIT. MOLACK'S V1KWS. lie ThiiiUn hnnld C.rt lttd of Hie Salu ArcIilpelfiKo. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: "We shall never be able to make anything cut of the Sulu group and they will prove a veritable white elephant. If we could exchange them with Holland for the Island of Curacoa, In the Carrlbean, for a consideration we should tv fortunate and it. would also secure us a good neighbor in the Philippines.' " "The?e are the concluiions of Lieut. Niblack, now cn the battleship Oregon, In an article which appears in the proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, a publication which has the ofncial sanction of the Navy Department. 'As for the Sulu group.' Lieut. Niblack observes. thf Spanish have never ben able to collect any revenue.q and their occupation has only been effective In the last few years. We shall be obliged to police tha. Islands by means of ftunbeats. Th Dutch have a talent for handling these East India people and besides they ha native troops an;l police. "It Is evident from Lieut. Nihlark's information that If Aguinaldo and his followers are driven much further north by the American troops he will meet with little sympathy and may have to suffer from the enmity of the tribes occupying that section of Luzon. The northern part of Luzon, he fay?, 'cut off. as it i. from the central by high ranges of mountains. Is peopled by numerous trlbo.t of mixed races, varying in different proportions of Malay, Chinese, Japanese and Negrito. They are not all friendly, by any means, either to one .inother, or with the Tagalos." FIMI'INOS 1 1 ATK AULI.ALDO. They Say He In n Tyrant and In Deluding His Follower. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 6. Two Filipinos have arrived here on the bark Calburga, which reached thte port with a cargo of hemp from Manila, after a voyage of 147 days. Their names are Caferino and Morrison, and both express extreme hatred of Agulnaldo. In speaking of the war In the Philippines Caferino said: "The Filipinos are losing ground and I do not think the war will last much longer. Agulnaldo is a tyrant. He fools hla poor, ignorant followers and makes them believe that if the Americans win and get possession of the islands they will be treated worse than they were by the Spaniards. Many of them still think they are lighting Spaniards and do not know any better. When there are any signs of weakening among his troops Aguinaldo whips them back Into line by threatening to kill them. He and his lieutenants have thousands of Filipinos who would be ?;ood and peaceful citizens if they were not orced to fight and help him get money. In Manila and other places where the Americans are In control everything Is quiet and peaceful. The people like the open-hearted way In which the government Is carried on and are anxious to see Aguinaldo crushed." Shortage of Food In (iunni. CHICAGO. Nov. 6. A special to the Record from San Francisco says: "The transport Ohio, which arrived from Manila, brings news of a shortage of food in Guam, both among the natives and foreigners. The Ohio reached Guam on Oct. li. Pui?r Hedges went ashore and was Uterally besieged by the members of the military colony, foreigners and natives', who pleaded with him to have sufficient flour, potatoes and other food necessities sent ashore to last until relief could be sent by the government. Owing to a shortage of provisions on board the Ohio was unable to leave anything at Guam." Retnm of Offleern. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Nov. 6.

"The general commanding the line of cornmunlcatlon with Maritzburg has arrived with his staff at Estcourt." Telegraphic communication north of Estcourt is entirely stopped. The natives report that the Boers received a crushing blow at Ladysmlth on Thursday. This Is not officially confirmed, but It Is generally believed. "Later, Evening The British forces at Ladysmlth, it now( appears, were engaged twice successfully on Thursday and on Friday. It Is reported that the cavalry scored heavily and that the Infantry did great execution with bayonets, the Gordon Highlanders carrying the principal Boer position at the point of the bayonet. The Boers lost heavily In killed and wounded and a numir surrendered." .MAY UK IX A I LI til IT, Defender of Ladynniith Likely to Run Short of Ammunition. LONDON, Nov. 7. The War Office announced at midnight that no dispatches had been received beyond those already mado public, and that nothing further would be issued before noon to-day. Thus not a solitary official item of news has been posted for nearly twenty-four hours. This has given rise to a crop of rumors that Ladysmlth's ammunition is exhausted; that Sir George Whlteis mortally wounded; that both facts are being concealed, and that other unlucky happenings have taken place. For all of these reports there Is absolutely no foundation. At the same time the Britisher has had little to stimulate him within the last twenty-four hours, except the news of the confident attitude of the Ladysmlth garrison and its slight successes last Thursday and Friday.. Advices from other parts of South Africa are distinctly unpalatable and everything points to a critical situation in Natal and the northern portion of Caie Colony. Nobody dares to think General White will capitulate. Rather than that he is expected, as a last resort, if Ladysmlth becomes untenable, to make a desperate effort to cut his way through the Boers back Into lower Natal and to Join hands with the garriso.i there, which Is now almost certain to vc reinforced by the tlrst arrivals of the army corps from England and to be nreJ?d lciward to renew touch with him. It is generally assumed, however, that General White, with the aid of the naval guns, will be able to cope rvith any Lombardment, and the idea that the Uoers tould take Ladysmlth by assault Is scouted as f.bsurd. The defense thus depends u:'.n the uninterrupted working of the : aval suns. Right here arises the impo.'taot Question upon which the alspatches have thrown no light whether the naval gun?, whlcn themselves only arrived at the last moment, have with thtm sufficient unvnunUi'.m 10 ieply to a bombardment lasting possibly several weeks. If not, it is har.Jly JiUely that works exist in a small town like LiUyti.uth for casting the special inell oe-idrd for the 4.7 guns, and, moreover, there is- n nur.uc n of stores of lyddite at Iadysmith for recharging these shells. Mea:iw:iile Ague remarks in the dispatches point t.j 'ne Impending arrival of further big Bo:r tuns from Johannesburg, to be .nount?d a mens the hills within range of Ladysmlth. Such considerations explain ihe .iny'oiy felt regarding General White's menv: tus and position, not only by the public, but m official circles. MAY riTAND AT ESTCOt'RT The Erltlsh retirement to Estcourt has given the impression that it is Intended to make a stand th?r-. Estcourt is the last important town between the Boers and the capital of Natal, and if the Boers sweep pist Estcourt nothing can stop them from 1amg Mege to PjvterinaritzburK, which cannot be expected to make u protracted defense, .while Its fall would be a tremendous blow ft British prestige thieughout South A (ilea. . 'ready the British retirement south of Coieno has jlven the Boers an opportunity to make a bid 'for -the active support of ulsaffecU-d Dutch in Natal by proclaiming

the annexation of th upper Tugela section. Thu far the Dutch colonists seem to have confined their sympathy with the invading Boers to a platonic emotion. Except for surreptitious assistance there Is no evidence that thf y have yet joined the Boers openly In any appreciable numbers. The reported British retirement from Stcrmberg Junction, however, will be followed doubtlessly by a similar Boer proclamation annexing the portions of Cape Colony lying directly youth of the Orange Free State. These proclamations", as In the case Eechuanaland, have been and will be immediately followed by British counter-pr lamatlons, but to the eyes of the Dutch farmers the presence of one Boer commando Is probably more Impressive than the expectation of tho arrival of the whole British army In tho more or less distant future. The British newspaper published a list of the transports due to arrive at Cape Town from to-day. According to this some twenty thousand men should reach the Cape by the end of next week, but the Admiralty issued a chilllrg warning last evening to the effect that no disappointment must be felt b the public if the transports phould not arrive at the dates mentioned, dates which the War Office says "are based in many cases upon too sanguine expectations." The French press has been cheerfully announcing the issue of letters of marque by the Transvaal government and predicts the havoc which privateers may work among British merchantment and even transports. In thi., Tarls journalism finds In part an explanation for the mobilization of the British special service squadron. The view taken by the German press of the same matter is interesting. Berlin Journalism treats the suggestion of privateering with skepticism. The Vosslsche Zeltung says: "Privateering la no longer recognized by international law, and the Transvaal Is not In a position to issue letters of marque, as It possesses neither ports nor harbors. Attempts at privateering must consequently be regarded, not only by Great Britain, but by neutral powers as unlawful warfare and be treated as common piracy." The American hospital fund is increasing steadily. More than 11,000 is now in hand. Including 1,000 from Mrs. Samuel Newhouse and 100 each from Mrs. Eugene Kelly and Mrs. C. P. Huntington. The executive committee has decided that the whole personnel of the ship, doctors, nurses and crew shall come from the United State.. An allied fund will be opened In Paris. Mr. Harges. cf Drexel. Harges & Co., has Issued a call for a meeting to form a committee. Lady Randolph Churchill has sent him the following telegraph: "The executive committee thanks you for your co-operation and hopes you may work as affectively as we are working here." Last evening her Majesty wired in reply to a telegram from the Crimean veterans' banquet at Portsmouth: "The Queen vividly recalls your campaign, and feels sure that the Crimean veterans must feel proud of their younger comrades now fighting in South Africa." The Queen has contributed 1.000 and the Prince of Wales 262 to the Transvaal war fund.

Aorvnln Tont Bridge SeUed After Surrender of the Cape Tollce. LONDON, Nov. 6. The Telegraph's Cape Town correspondent, under date of Nov. 1, cables: "The correspondent of the Cape Times telegraphs that a large command of Free State Boers attacked Norvals Point bridge at 3 o'clock this morning. They then surrounded the camp of the Cape police, who, being greatly outnumbered by the enemy, were obliged to yield to the demand for surrender. The telegraph station at the bridge Is in the hands of the enemy." A dispatch from Aliwal North, date Nov. 3. says there Is no confirmation of the report that the Boers have gone up the river towards Herschel for the purpose of crossing the Colony. Advices from Kimberley, dated Oct. 31, say a strong reconnolssance, made by Col. Scott-Turner, discovered the enemy posted on a kopje. The Boers fired thirteen shells, none of which took effect, and the reconnolterlng party returned to Kimberley. Advices from Cape Town, under date of Nov. 3 say martial law has been proclaimed. In - the districts occupied by the British troops between the Orange, river and De Aar. The premier, Mr. W. P. Schreiner, has sent a circular to the magistrates and others, warning all persons against statements to the effect that the parliamentary institutions and constitutional government will be lost or detrimentally affected. He adds that the proclamation of martial law Is only a matter of temporary urgency In some districts and does not compel the burghers of the colony to participate In the "deplorable hostilities." Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-Hol-steln. grandson of Queen Victoria, and a captain in the King's Royal Rifles and other officers have left Cape Town for Ladysmlth to replace the dead and wounded. The Boer prisoners have beqn taken on board the British cruiser Penelope. They number nine officers and 180 men. The Dutch farmers of Aliwal North have passed a resolution making a strong protest against the allegations of disloyalty of the Dutch in Cape Colony. An official notice posted at the Landrost's office, at Vryburg, Oct. 28. referring to the bombardment of Mafeklng. says: The big Iretorla gun wrought great destruction, but the enemy obstinately holds his own." Other advices from Vryburg says the British flag still floats over Kuruman. but that a Boer force Is about to proceed hither. The Doiarlss command has been reinforced by three thousand Boers and has gone to Kimberley. A dispatch from Maseru. Basutoland. dated Friday evening, and received at Cape Town to-day. says: "Since Magistrate Lagdem's warning that their Interference with the Basutos would cause an uprising, the Boers have been letting the Basutos cross the river into Basutoland. The natives, however, continued to complain that they were being robbed of their savings by the authorities. There is no disguising from the natives that the British suffered a reverse at Ladysmlth. It has been explained to the Europeans as a mere incident of the war and they are regarding it as Insignificant. It was thought better that everybody should know, the dispatch adds, and not follow the republic's methods of coucealing reverses both from the Europeans and Basutos. who have implicit faith in the Imperial government. The repulse of the Free State forces on Och 27 Is claimed by the Boers as a brilliant Boer victory. Thev say that at Elandslaagte the British fled, atd at Ladysmlth the Boers retired because they had expended their ammunition. The Boers also assert that General White was Killed and that certain documents were found on his body. Certain residents of Colejburg are freely communicating with the Boer force ncrcss the river. RETt'RX OF OLTLAXDEHS. Scenen in Jnhnnneubnrjr Described by FtiKltlven from the City. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The Tribune's London correspondent says: "The rear guard of the English representatives of the mining companies of the Rand has straggled into London by the last steamship arriving from Cape Town. Its leaders give fantastic and dram- tic accounts of the closing scenes t Johannesburg when the mining camps, crushing mills and the gold hunters' city wre abandoned by the English residents. Evacutitlcn had been In progress for weeks before the final signal for war, and then the English rear guard of confidential advisers and trusted employes of c'very great mining corporation was ordered to go. The richest goli fields In the world, with the costliest mechanism for crushing and chemical treatment of the sandstone, conglomerate and deep-level mining, were left under charge of foreign underlings and native bervants. Palatial residence were turned over to caretakers, and their occupants locked and barred front doors and drove to the station, convinced that their furniture and art treasures would be looted ieforc the end of the war Strange as had been the mushroom growth of this English mining city, with Its tawdry splendor, its sudden desertion was a grotesque marvel among the vicissitude. of human fortune. "The tolerance with which these returning pilgrims from Johannesburg speak of President Krueer astonishes their London friends. He, is credited by them with a clear conception of the inevitable outcome of the war, whatever may be the earliest results of the conflict. President Steyn Is described by them as the evil genius of 3outh Africa, as a shrewd, intelligent, ambitious man. overt dtica ltd In seme respects, but half trains In other points and essentially 111balanccd. The rear guard camo away frcra

Johannesburg with the conviction that President Kruger had been dragged into the war against his will and judgment, and that Steyn had Involved the Orange Free State in a fatal struggle, in which it had everything to lose and nothing to gain, and that he had no other Incentive than a dream of a vast, powerful Dutch republic. "A representative of one of the largest mining properties said after his arrival from the Transvaal that many Intelligent burghers were bitterlv opposed to the war. He quoted Johannes Rlssik, who surveyed tho city named after him. as s-3'ing that he himself would gladly have granted to the outlanders all that they had asked, and these concessions would have been merely equitable. Rlssik and other Boers who shared his views of what would have been a just and reasonable solution are now fighting strenuously on the Dutch side. Risslk Is described as having no Illusions respecting the ultimate result, but also as forecasting hard fighting by the Boers and great destruction of life." - 1VOLSELEY SCORES UOERS.

Sayn They Are the Mnt Jisnornnt People He Hnn Ever Met. LONDON, Nov. 7.-General Lord Wolseley, the commander In chief, who was the guest of the Authors' Club last evening, said that the short service system In the British army had at last been acknowledged as the right om even by its moat strenuous opponents. Discussing the situation in South Africa the field marshal remarked: "In my various commands I have learned much of the Boor character; and I can say truthfully that the Bocra as a people, are the most Ignorant with which I have been brought into contact. Their aspiration is to rule the whole of South Africa. This is a point the English people must keep before them. There are ups and downs in warfare, and tho disappointments we have suffered are having the good effect of bringing the English people closer together." Fenrn of Lord nerenford. LONDON. Nov. 7. Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, speaking at Sunderland kst evening, confessed that he regarded with great apprehension what might be the attitude of the blacks toward the vanquished when the British had conquered the Boers. "I mut repeat." ild Lord Charles, "that in vl?w of such a contingency, the government hi not even, now sending out sufficient troops. As to the possibility of foreign intervention, I consider that the great naval, military and financial resources of the empire are calculated to ward off any undue European dictation. Whatever hope may have been Indirectly held out to the Boers refore the war. it is a great mitter that we can now, more than ever, count upon the affection and" sympathy of the great American nation, the lastest and one of the mot touching examples of which Is the American ladies' hospital ship." THREATS OF BOERS. If Conqnered They Will Make Sonth Africa a Hell for Brltoim. LONDON, Nov. Bennett Raleigh, the well-known war correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, writing under date- of Ladysmlth, Oct. 6. says: "The primal grounds of the Boers is that the country Is theirs by right of grant, conquest and occupation, and only with the unbidden consent of the burghers shall anybody else have a voice or the right to rule In the land. As Intelligent men. though they declare they may be able to witnstand such forces as England can send against them for a season, yet should Britain put forth her whole strength and no European powers intervene to aid the Transvaal, they admit they must be overpowered. 'But.' said Mr. Smuts, the state attorney, to me, with the approval of Mr. Reltz and others, 'when you have conquered the Tran-svaal it won't be as another Ireland to England. I promise you. Ireland shall be as a peaceful country compared with what we shall make of the- Transvaal to England. ' It will be a hell on earth to you of shooting unrest. Only the biggest armies will maintain you In the country." CLOSE STATES. - (Conclnded from Flrnt Tage.) by both the leading. parties and the chairmen of both state committees express confidence in polling a comparatively full vote for an off year and. each' claims victory. The three minor parties In the field do not hope to more than maintain their organization. Chairman Weaver, of the Republican committee, estimates! that the plurality of his party will run from 40.C0O to 43,000, while Chairman Huffman Is satisfied with saying that he believes enough disaffected Republicans will refuse to vote or will vote the Democratic ticket to give a small plurality to the Democratic ticket. In any event he hope, if d-efeated, to cut down the nominal Republican plurality to such an extent that the Democrats can claim a Republican defeat. The best estimates on the Legislature are that the Republicans will have an overwhelming majority on Joint ballot and elect the next United States senator to succeed John H. Gear. There is doubt, however, about tire friends of Mr. GAir being able to re-elect him. the A. B. CummingH forces claiming they already have enough votes pledged to elect him senator. Iilaht Vote Expected. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 6. Any forecast on the election In South Dakota tomorrow la pure prophecy, as not a township in the State has been polled and tut one thing is certain and that is that a light vote will be polled. Chairman Kldd, of the fusion committee, thinks 70 ner cent, of the vote will be cast and Chairmin iiarricK. or the Republican committee, agrees that this estimate is about right. The Pepulists have snt thousands of circular letters over the State criticising decisions cf tit? KepiUican judges, who are all renamn tted, tut aside from this no active campaign has been made. Unless there is a landslide the result will not be known until Wednesday or possibly later, as on account of the absence of local contests the returns will be slow. Movement) of Steamers.

SUCCESS OF THE HOLLAND.

Submarine float Demonstrates Her Ability by n Final Test. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. The submarine torpedo boat Holland was successfully tested In Peconic bay. I. I., to-day. At the close cf the test the members of the board of Inspection, Rear Admiral Rogers, Commanders William II. Emory and Charles H. Rllocker and Naval Constructor Washington E. Capps shook hands with John P. Holland, the Inventor, ami congratulated him on hi j success, lie had waited twentyfive years for victory and tears streamed down his cheeks when the naval officers greeted him. When all was ready the Holland sank to a depth of ten feet while going at full speed, which was attained almost Immediately. This left the tips of tho fiag poles on her deck expend. But for these It would have been impossible to trace the course. She made the distance from start to turning point in nine and or.e-half minute. Arriving at tho end of the mile, she shot to the turface, her turret coming into view. Ten seconds later she had again disappeared. Within the ten seconds she corrected her course, having deviated only seventy feet from the true course, and fired a regulation Whitehead torpedo weighing S40 pounds, which went spinning off towards the target 800 yarda away. Meanwhile, as the deadly missile whirled, true on Ita course, the Hollard swung about and started back. She turned in a radius of seventy-five feet, or about ono and one-half times her own length. She was lying back to starting point before the missile had run its course. The return trip was made in about the same time as the outward run and was equally a success. Commander Emory and Captain Lowe then left the Holland, and Commander Capps and Lieutenant Henderson entered the boat,. and another trip was undertaken. Th-a results were the same, except that Instead of rising to the surface to discharge the missile, the Holland fired It while submerged. Almost before tho torpedo reached the surface the Holland had turned partially about, and by the time the missile was well on its journey the Holland was on its way back. The missile was well thrown, and came so near the flagpole used as a target that It was evident that no vessel would have escaped If In the path of the torpedo. The boat shot to the surface beween the starting flags. At no time was there any error of mere than a few feet made in calculation as to the distance traveled. DEWEY SHOPPING.

PENNSYLVANIA 8T KIMBERLEY'S FATE. Wlmt It Is Like nnd Its I'msnects of Withstanding the Mewe. London Dally Telegraph. The last news recelvfd In the city from Kimberley was contained In a cablegram dIspatcheJ on Saturday, Oct. 11, which informed the London office of the De Beers Company that the town had,bern cut off from the north, and that communication, with the south was threatened, with tha consequent stoppage of supplies. Since that message came to hand the wire and the railway have been wrecked by the Doers at Modder river, twenty-five miles south of Klmbcrlfy, and the town of diamonds has fallen into a state of siege. Inquiry in wellinformed quarters, however, discloses that it was foreseen that the Boers would da their utmost to lsolale Kimberlcj-, and the belief U that their deerminatlon has leen strengthened by the knowledge that Mr. Cecil Rhodes is there. It appears that .with him are Mr. and Mrs. Magulre, who also went up at the lart moment from Capa Town. The Intention has teen fonmd to work the mines without Interruption, tha natives remaining in their compounds. Until Saturday, Oct. 14. the practice had be n successfully carried out of remitting to saf custody at Cape Town the diamonds found daily, so that there is no accumulation of precious stones to tempt the looting propensities of the enemy. The demand for diamonds never ceases. Notwithstanding the rise of price the stones are quick to command purchasers all ove-r the world, and the De Beers mines at Kimberley constitute the chif source of supply, with an output of I.XXMoi) In value per annum. Not improbably, an effort will be made. In spite of the Boers, to maintain the regularity of consignments, and should the siege last for some time, we may expect to sea established a new form of blockade running. In order to brln the diamonds within reach of buyer. Should they fail, thenj diamonds may bring still higher figures than they do at present. As to the safety of Kimberley though th anxiety felt in regard to Mafeklng. which is in ar. admittedly perilous position, is greaterthere will be much apprehenscon entertained for a week or ten days; and. probably, fears both for the person of Mr. Rhodes and the . property of the mining companies will not be wholly removed until a re'lef column has arrived and d'!en back tho invaders. The expectation Is that som weeks must elapse, before the troops and batteries from England can be on the spot. In the meantime, the information as to the actual defenses of Kimberley has not been brought down to date, owing to the military censorship. A fortnight ago Kimberbrjr had 2,70) mu fully armed. Including volunteers and regulars, and these forces had nine Maxim guns and twelve field guns. The regulars were the North Lanca shire Regiment, but a detachment has since been, forwarded to Mafeklng. The volunteers ar mostly in the employ of the De Beers', and are fine fellows. The Town Guard, which has been mobilized, is also well armed, and forms a serviceable body. Before telegraphic communication ceased it was known in the city that the military authorities had thrown up earthworks, protected the Sanatorium, where Mr. Rhodes is staying, wita sand bags and crowned the heaps of rubbish from the mines with guns. These heaps are sixty feet high. and. as they rise from the veldt, which Is totally flat for miles around, they command wide range. In addition, the risk of night surprise U minimized by the use of the most powerful electric searchlights in existence, t'enj.,who know th Boers' ways are iersuaded that they will not attack an intrenched position. Will Kimberley be able; to withstand a prolonged flege? The hoje Is expressed that having anticipated what was coming thsj town haj been well stored with provisions. There has been no rush of refugee from the place, and the pres?rvt population is estimated not to exceed 2O.U0O people In normal times it has been fed by rallwav. and largely drew its supplies from the Orange Free State, It has no resources of its own, nor Is it surrounded by farms which might yield provender to succevful sortl parties. The beleaguers are at a similar disadvantage, and phould they be wanting in commissariat they must depend njwn blltorg, or sundried tlesH, with meal, the i ?ual fare of the Boer when In the Faddie. for tho game has long flnce disappeared Iron the district, and the rlndrrpejt carried off all the cattle. Kimberley is the center of the diamond fields situated in territory known as Grlqualand West, which became British territory by cerslon from the Grlqua pooi in 1S71. and remained a separate colony ui.tll October, 1). when It was annexed to Oai-c Colony. The first diamond -as found by accident, in 1V,7, and parsed through rrar.y hands before Its value was KUtpected. The existence of Kimberley dates from 170. when diamonds were first discover! on the farms cf Du Tolts Pan and Bulfontein. and the rush which followed spWy created an extensive mining camp, whh-h in course of years gradually developed into a township. Irregularly built, and having none of the straight streets, crossing at right englea and at eqjal distances, so generally found in South Africa. It is interesting to recall that the Orange Free State, upon whose borders the dlamondlferous area lies, and within whose boundaries the Jagersforvteln min exists, disputed the proclamation of 1871 declaring Oriqualand West to be Britih! territory, but Its claims were settled in 1S7 by the payment of JL.0A Sir Donald Currie having acted as arbitrator. Railway connection with Cane Town was completed in ISM. Kimberley Ls $47 mile from Ctie Town, and 4V, from Port Eiixabeth. De Aar Junction, which unites the western and midland vsUms, Is 117 miles south of Kimlerley. The line is now carried northward beyond Kimberley to Bulawayo, in Rhodeyla. but at the present moment the railway has been cut in two rlaces. with the result that Kindx-tiey hs net communication with the outer world. Rhodesia Js !n a similar plight. Shrewd rie5e arc mad In the city that the- transports about to take troops to the Cape will not all proeoed to Durban, hut land a number of them at Cape Town and Port Filznlieth. to form a column for service ujhjh the western frontier of the tKUicerrnt republics. It is here that the danger lies, it li paid, until tne reinforcement ar in the Held. The confident expectation ts entertained that Kimberley will te able to hold out. whatever Mafeklng. n3 iri!e further northward, may do. Should both fail into the bands of the tncmy. considerable commandos of Boers would be released to push their why northward to Ilhodola. and. imless checked by timely pursuit, tfw-y might lay waste Bulawayo ar.d Salisbury. It la possible nn NiTtio people think, ir. the city their plan of campnlrn mav In.iude t letting hrse of the MMab'Je upon the re malnlng white", but should they arrive at the point of cirrjlng out thi ioMey ww rhould be Justified in allowing the Basutos, who ore now held in hand by us, to ravartf tho Orange Free 6tate.
