The following dls pat l from General Sir George Stew art Whim to the Marquis of Lands- ilow n, secretary of state for war, re ceived Inst evening at 11 o'clock was posted at the war office soon after midnight. Ladysmlth, Oct. 24.-9 p. in. In formation received yesterday showed that the Boors have established them selves In considerable numbers In an exceedingly strong position west of the main road leading from Lady smith to Dundee. I also had Informa tion that the Dundee force, formerly commanded by General Symuns, and since his wounding:, oommpnded by General Yule, was falling back on Ladysmlth by way of the Helpmakaar road Rclth and the valleys of the Waschback. and Sunday rivers and was expected to reach Sunday river valley today. I therefore moved out with a strong force to cover the movement of Yule's column. The ene my was ulscovered about seven miles out of Ladysmlth In a position of great natural strength, west of the road When he saw that preparations were being made against him, he opened lire with one gun with great accuracy. "Our artillery soon got into position and the gur. was silenced. Our troops were ordered to occupy a strong ridge paralle' to th? enemy's position but nearer to the road. "I confined my effeorts to occupying hi niand hltt'ng him hard enough to prevent liir.i taking action against Yule's column, umbers of the enemy lied to tlK west and the firing had practically ceased at 2 o'clock. Strategical Movement. The Cape Town correspondent of the Dally Mall, telegraphing at 0.45 p. m. yesterday, says: "General Yule has performed a bril liant strategical movement. By a swift march to the south, leaving Glencoe empty, he has effected a Junction of his forces with those of Sir George Stewart White, slightly to the north of Ladysmlth. The two are In a position to offer battle. I believe the Ilrst at tack III be made on, the large Free State foice which entered Natal by way of Tlntwa pass, and which has since been harracslug Ladystnlth. The mili tary authorities' decided that by join ing their forces the two generals would be better utile to cope with one large force at a time than by having two smull determents to oppose simulta neously two big I'oer forces. Accordingly, after defeating the Free State troops, they will offer battle to Commandant General Joubert. Only forty miles now separate the two itoer orees Hence the need for swift and I lllwr action. Th' tivo sections of the Iloer army tjgc'hr outnumber the entire Rritish foroe i three to one. Hard lighting Is "ertnln at ;i very early date.

It is evident from the official de spatches that both Commandant Gen eral .Toubort's column on the north and the Orange Free State troops on the west now occupy strong positions and that nothing hinders the Boers from following General Yule's retirement und getting nround Ladysmlth front the southeast. Until reinforcements arrive It seems that General White Is obliged to concentrate on Ladysmlth. Tt Is believed that the government has other despatches that have not yet been published. Cape Town, Oct. 24. A private tele gram from Delagoa Bay says a man who has just arrived there from Jo hannesburg asserts that the Transvaal j government has appropriated 830 beds ; In private houses In Johannesburg for ' wounded troops from the front. The . Boer organs, according to this inform nut lire djimr everything to minimize the Boer losses nnd all sorts of mis statements, and misrepresentations are employed. BOERS NEAR KIMBERLEY. Within Three Miles of the Diamond Fields. London, Oct. 23. The Dally Tele graph has the following from DeAur, Capo Colony, dated Monday evening: "The Transvaal government Is about Issuing a proclamation declaring the district of -the Vaal river, and Includ ing Bcchuanaland, to be Boer terri tory. "Commandant Cronje, who has been twice repulsed at Mafeklng, Is said to bo advancing on Klmberley and to he Impressing men and seizing stores and munitions in British territory. He left a small force Investing Mafeklng. The Free State Boers arc moving westward In order to join him for an attack on Klmberley. "The dispatch riders who are coming down to the Orange river from Klm berley are performing thrilling feats. They ride through the Boer lines under cover of darkness and get to the Orange without taking any rest save for a change ot horses. The distance is sixty miles. One rider who got Into Klmberley last Friday was chased seventeen miles by Boers, narrowly escaping with his life. The same man returned safely with dispatches to Orange river today. When he reached a point thirty miles from Klmberley, his horse fell and kicked two of his lingers against a rock, but despite this painful wound the gallant fellow made a good Jour ney here. He reports that the Boers are three miles from Klmberley but are nfrald to attack the place and are awaiting the arrival of Commandant Cronle. No Boers are to be seen south of Del mont. which is twenty miles north of the Orange river. The defeats in Natal arc taking all the fight out of them and they will not attack the British troops, though they may defend a few positions. Indeed, It Is believed hero that the heaviest battle of the war is over except for a battle near Pretoria. ALL WELL AT MAFEKING. British South African Police Holds Enemy in Check. London, Oct. 21. The war office pub lished tonight a dispatch from Colonel Baden-Powell, the British commander at Mafeklng, dated October 15, and forwarded from Cape Town: "All well here. In a fight today four miles from Mafeklng the armored train, a section of the British South African police and two squadrons of the protectorate regiment repulsed the enemy, losing 2 killed and IB wounded, the latter Including Lieutenant Ben tlnlek. Ninth Lancers and Lieutenant Hruy, of the Protectorate regiment, both slightly. "The enemy's loss Is estimated at fi:i killed, besides many wounded. The mines of our killed and wounded will follow.

Oct. 4 The rotnnlnl unii.u this evening published a cable despatch received fiotn the British high com missioner In South Africa, Sir Alfred Milner communicating a significant despatch fioni Sir Godfrey Lamdeji, the British resident commissioner In Basutolaud. calling attention to the recklessness of the Bastit s, who, he rays, he has been trylny to calm. The resident commissioner adds: "Our policy, however, lias been made dlrllcult by the blustering ot the Boers who have fieely threat) tied to attack I Masuru und other statluns. 1 hose throats, combined with Intriguing, i have contributed to rouse excitement among the natives. T wish to place It on record that the Boers have unwise ly attempted to fnn the agitation of the Basutos and frustrate our efforts toward tranquility. The Boers theret fore, are responsible for any commo tion and for the alarm regarding native invasions which now prevail." President Steyn's Proclamation. London. Oct. 21.

CANADA MAKES AJPROPOSITION FINAL PROPOSAL FOB SETTLE MENT OF ALASKA DISPUTE. Skngway and Dyea to Be Conceded to United States in Exchange for Pyramid Harbor Then the Bdun dary Lino to Be Submitted to Ar bitration Terms Similar to Thoso Agreed on by the United States and Great Britain in the Vene zuelan Border Case. London,Oct.24. The Associated Press Is enabled to give authoritatively Can ada's llnal proposition for it permanent settlement of tho Alaska dispute. The proposal Is very different from he for mer demands. It was delivered to tho t'nlted Elates ambassador, Joseph 11. Choato, by the Canadian minister of marine and fisheries, Sir Louis Henry Davles. the night before the latter left London, and was dispatched today to Washington by the officials of the United States etnbatssy. It Is as fol lows: That the boundary line be arbitrated upon terms similar to those Imposed by the United States and Great Britain over Venezuela, particularly those pro visions making fifty years' occupancy by either side conclusive evidence of title, occupancy of less than that period to be taken as equity allows under in ternational law. That, as a condition precedent to and absolutely preliminary to arbitration, Skagway and Dyea would be conceded to the United States without further claim if Canada received Pyramid Har bor. In other words, Canada gives up much of the disputed gold country lit return for a seaport, but stipulates that she must get the latter before she agrees to arbitrate the boundary line. Propositions of Davies. The propositions of Sir Louis Henry Davles were made privately and were, apparently, the result of an unexpected communication from his government, for Sir Louis, the day previous, ex pressed no Inkling of the fnct that ho had been empowered to make surh sweeping proposals. " The Canadln-i statesman heretofore has insistently denied the United States' contention that Dyea and Skagway must first bu conceded to the United States before further negotiations on the subject, and his sudden chnnge of front and the con cession of two such Important points are apparently intended as a coup. Mt. Choato was found, to a certain extent, unprepared. The only reply he could make was that he would Inform the authorities at Washington and await their advices, as his Instructions did not contemplate such a change of base by Canada. The Associated Press is reliably In formed that Canada's position was In Iluenced greatly by the Imperial pres sure, nnd it can be said definitely that Mr. Chamberlain advised concession as much as possible in order to gain a port of entry free from United States control with the professed rea son that commercial advantages would accrue therefrom. But It is said that the ulterior motive Is to Increase Brit ish naval strength by making Pyramid Harbor a strong naval base. Regarding: the probable action of the United States under the altered con ditions British official opinion is that having been granted Dyea and Skag way, the government at Washington cannot refuse to accept the Identical form of arbitration it agreed to with England in the Venezuela case. This course Is contingent on the United States deciding that the old Behring country Is more valuable than Pyra mid Harbor. Ex-Congressman Lewis, who con ferred with Sir Louis Davles and Mr. Choate regarding the claim? ot the American miners Involved In the dis puted territory, opposed the cession of Pyramid Harbor. He pointed out to Mr. Choate that Canada would ha,ve an Important station for store houses and shipping, whence she could ser iously undersell the United States und Injure the latter's trade In the Orient, and) also that Great Britain would ob tain invaluable strategical advan tages. At the commission's next sitting Sir Louis Davles strongly opposed the consideration of the claims which Mr. Lewis represented In conjunction with the boundary dispute, and Mr. Choato upheld the velw, though Mr. Lewis has succeeded hi obtaining the assur ance that they are to be treated in conjunction with Canada's claims for seal destruction, Forest Fires in Bedford. Bcdfoid, Pa..

FEAR THE BASUTOS. Boers Endeavor to Gain Friendship of tho Blacks. Cape Town, Oct. 24. The following ndvlces have been received here from Maseru, Basutolaud, dated Oct. 23: ' "A reliable native lately visited .a lutiRer of Orange Free State troops just opposite Maseru. He found It to consist of wagons, surrounded by turf piled three feet high. He noticed only a few Mausers. The Boer commandant questioned hint regarding thet feeling of the different Basufo chiefs, principally the paramount chief, Lorothdl, and In order to draw tho commandant, the native replied that the chiefs sided with the Boers. "Thereupon the commandant said the two republics wished to kill the Brit ishers and to take over nnd govern the Basutocs, restoring- to the latter that part of the country which the Free State formerly took from them. As to the Britishers, those whom they failed to kill they would drive Into the sea. "The commandant wished a decision on the part of Lorothodl and the other chiefs as soon as possible whether they would fight the Boers or tho Brit ishbecause his contingent was anx ious to help the Boers elsewhere. He acknowledged that his men were afraid of the Basutocs because their wives and families, as well as their cattle, were within reach of a Basuto Incur sion; nnd he said he was prepared to enter Into nn agreement with the chiefs, signing the same, to give a very substantial recompense to the tribes men for assisting- -the Boers. Falling In this, If the I'.asutoes would give a written undertaking not to assist either side, the commandant said his force would withdraw from the Basutolaud border and go to the'asslstanee of their countrymen where tho fighting wns hottest. The Boers on the Basutolaud frontier, according to the best Infor mation obtainable at Maseru, number about 2,300." ADMIRAL SAMPSON'S SWORD. Will Bo Presented at Trenton, New Jersey, Today.

OUR DISPUTES WITH RUSSIA AN AGREEMENT LOOKING TO A SETTLEMENT. Eight-Year-Old Scaling Claims to Be Submitted to Arbitration A Pro tocol Between the Two Govern ments Has Been Drawn Up and the Final Formalities 'Will Probably Bo Concluded Next Month Amount of the Claims. London, Oct. 24. Russia, It has been learned by the Associated Press, hns at last agreed to arbitrate with the U ilted State the claims resulting from, tho seizure of sealers In the Behtlng Sea, which have been pending for about eight years. A protocol between the two govern ments has been drawn up. tho final formalities It is expected will be con cluded next month. Russia's agreement to arbitrate her Behrlng Sea claims Is a source of great satisfaction to the United States ambassador to Russia, Charlemagne Tower, who Is In London on his way to St. Petersburg. He said to a repre sentative of the Associated Press: "Th relations between Jtusslaand the United States were never iuor close or friendly than they are today. The only difference existing between the two nations Is now sure to b settled on lines similar to the enezulean ar bitration. I return to St. Petersburg on Saturday and the finishing touches will then bo put on the agreement." Mr. Tower was questioned regarding the frequent publication hi British newspapers of the reports that Russia. Intends tn take advantage of tho Transvaal war by aggression on Brit ish territory. He said: "Naturally, It Is Impossible for me to speak of Russia's policy townrd Great Britain, even If I knew any thing. But I can say moat tmphatlcal ly that Russia's attitude toward the United States Is not prejudiced by our filendshlp for Great Britain.'' It was Inferred that Mr. Tower did not put much faith in the sensatibnnl reports of a Franco-Russian active al liance against Great Britain. Another American diplomat said: "The importance of getting Russia to arbltrat. these claims is greater than their material amount Indicates. Frequent efforts have been made to that end. "But," he added, "Mr. Trvor has achieved what others had to give up despairingly. That Is practical evi dence of the friendliness of Russia and the United States and completely refutes the claims, of those who have maintained that we have engendered Europe's hatred by our close relations with England." Amount of Claims. Washington. Oct. 24. The claims against Russia arc. for the seizure by the Russian authorities off the coast of Siberia of three American sealing vessels, and the damages asked for ag gregate alKiut $150,000. The vessels were the James Hamilton Lewis, the Capo Horn Pigeon and the C. H. White. In each case the largest Item of the claim Is on account of the suf ferings of the American officers and crew while under arrest. The cases differ from claims pres ented by British sealers, which were settled by the Behrlng Sea arbitration, in the fact that while the British ves sels were seized by the American revenue cutters on what the arbitra tion declared to be tho high seas, the Russian men-of-war seized the American seaiers within seven miles of the Asiatic coast. It is a matter of Interest that for the llrst time the Russian government contends that marine jurisdiction of a country extends at least that dis tance from the shore line Instend of being limited to a marine league, as laid down by tne older writers on In ternational law. The league was fixed originally because It represented the extreme distance from shore that a shot could be thrown by one of the old cannon used In coast defense, and the Russians hold that the limit should be extended to correspond to the Increased range of modern ord nance. The protocol through which the ar bitration was arranged was prepared In St. Petersburg by the United States ambassador and the Russian foreign olllce. It was agreed by both parties that there should be hut one arbitra tor, nnd the person selected for tint 'post Is Dr. Asser. a celebrated Dutch Jurist, who took a prominent part In, The Hague conference. The case is to be submitted to him just as soon as the papers can be prepared at the state department. Torranaz Succeeds Duran, Madrid, Oct. 24.
