There are rumors of another disaster to | an Estcourt train, and it is reported that twenty-five volunteers who formed the es- cort are missing. There is no confirma- tion of these reports. When dpfinite news from Jadysmith is | available Yt will doubtless b found that | the garrison has been having a lively time. Nevertheless, not much credence | should be paid to the stories of train- loads of Boer wounded taken toward Pretoria as the result of the crushing de- feat at the hands of the British. Exper! ence has shown that those Kaflirgrams, even though emanating from missionaries, are not trustworthy. However, there | seems no doubt that there have been some sharp' affairs. Heavy rifle firing, follow- | ed by an explosion, was heard in the di- | rection _of dysmith before daylight | Thursday, indicating a night surprise, and possibly the explosion of a magazine. The transports, officlally announced to- day as baving arrived at Cape Town, car- ried the following troop: The Malta—Mounted Infantry Reserves | and the Coldstream Guards, total 7 of- ficers and 1587 enlisted men. | The City of Vienna—The cavalry brigade | staff, Twelfth Lancers and a fleld hos- pital; total, 15 officers and 310 men. The City of Cambridge—The Second Scottish Rifles and a fleld hospital; total, 45 officers and %65 men. A dispatch from Pretoria gives the Min- ister of Mines interlm announcement of the gold output for October as a total of | 17,84 ounces, against 426,55 in September and 452,108 in August. The dispatch adds, somewhat Ironically, that some of the companies have not worked the full month. The Standard and Diggers' News an- nounces that 6000 Boers are marching through Zululand. It says that a deserter from Ladysmith reports some anxiety among the troops to escape, and that the provisions are loaded on wagons ready for | the flight of the British.

This force, with that already between Estcourt and Durban, s considered suf- ficlent to enable General Hildyard to ad- vance and to take the aggressive against the Boers south of Ladysmith. According to the latest advices, Lady- smith is holding out satisfactorily, every- thing having been well up to Wednesday. In view of the Boers' destruction of bridges, the War Office has issued orders for the shipments of a quantity of bridge work between this and the end of the year. . It is reported that the British Govern- | ment has purchased the Creusot guns ordered by the Transvaal -Government, | but not dellvered. An officlal dispatch confirms the statement that Captain J. A. Haldane, of the Gordon Highlanders, | attached to the Dublin Kuslleers, and | Lieutenant Frankland and thirty-seven non-commissioned officers and men of the | Dublin Fusileers are missing. Captain | Haldane distinguished himself by his ser- vices in Indla, for which he recelved the D. 8. O. (Companion of the Distinguished | Service Order). He was wounded at Flandslaagte also. ——— LAST MESSAGE FROM LIEUTENANT CHURCHILL NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—4 dispatch to the World from Estcourt, Natal, gives the last cable from Lieutenant Winston Spen- cer_ Churchill before his capture by the Boers.

ANGELS CAMP, Nov. 17.—The local Chinatown Is at & high pitch of excite- ment and the trouble will probably spread to other Chinese communities. The cause of all this disturbance is pretty little Al Quay. Some time ago she went o Tu- lare to live and there she met How Toy, ! an almond-eyed Celestial, . who married her. Life in Tulare was too tame for Ah Quay and her. indulgent' husband moved to San Francisco, . where he opened ‘a tailoring establishment at 1004 Duport street. About this -time Ah Tom, other Chinaman, with an eye for beaut fell a victim to the Chinese maiden's lov- ing glances and shortly. afterward they shook the dust of the - metropolis ffom their feet together and went to San An- | dreas, this county, where the father of Ah Tom is a prominent merchant. . Again Ah Quay’s love grew cold and she left her lately acquired protector and went to Sonora, Tuolumne County, and later to this pla In the haunts of Chinatown she refgned as the belle. Her admir were many and more than once a bitt ht between rival sultors was barely averted. This was the case about three weeks ago | when the young Chinamen who consider- ed them s eligible for her smiles de- clared themsel nd for a time it look- ed as though a bloody battie would be the Gutcome of thelr dectarations. This state of affairs has continued at intervals ever since, but the climax was reached lately when her legal husband made his appear- ance among them. He expressed his (n- ention to regain his lost spouse and take her to his home in San Francisco.

How Toy was determined. and decided to u: force. He told of the great amount money Ah Quay had cost him and he wanted satisfaction in some way. Stormy interviews took place between them fre- quently. Finally, on last Tuesday morn- fhi, AR Quay fied o her lover in despair and together Lom Loon and his sweet- heart took a carriage and drove to Valle Springs. From there they went to Lodl and disappeared to the world. When How Toy discovered that he had been outwit- ted he was furious, and started in hot pursuit. He has declared that he will recover his lost_property or wreak vengeance on the | head of the despoiler of his domestic life. It i1s thought that he has invoked the assistance. of the highbinder element, and the outlook Is bad for Lom Loon.
