(P Ized, and their ambulance arrangeâ€" ments are very defective, but the commissariat is fairly good. A maâ€" jority of the Boers are unwilling to fight, but are quietly confident that they will overrun Natal, attacking It from both sides in the neighborâ€" hood of Ingogo or Ladysmith.

London cable : The Daily Mail‘s received here toâ€"day from George W. Steevens, the wellâ€"known special war correspondont of the Daily Mail, dated Majuoba Hil, Tuesday : who took part in Jameson‘s raid, and men from Natal and the Cape Colony. INVASION OF NATAL. The correspondent claims that he has seen enough to convince him that General Joubert has 15,000 men beâ€" tween St. Anderton and Volksrust, with whom he will invade Natal. The burghers from the Orange Free State will help the plan, the two columns enclosing and capturing all places held by the British to and including Ladyâ€" smith. Certainly serious and bloody actions are impending. Mr. Burleigh does not doubt that women, children | and unmarked citizens wi be treatâ€" ed well. | He adds that Pretoria, despite its f five wellâ€"armed forts, is hopelessly | weak. There is no grass yet in the Transvaal, the crop being a month late. The Boers‘ medical arrangeâ€" ments are practica ly nil, and their transport service is ‘ittle better. Disâ€" ! clp‘ine as the British understand it is m:nfixist,ent. The vounteers loot at ; wh.ll.

A HUGE GUERILLA MOB. The correspondent describes the Transvaal forces, all of whom _ are mounted, as " a huge guerilla mob of 20,000 men." Their ammunition is genâ€" erally without an official stamp. It is stated that they have a few dumâ€"dum bullets. It is also said that their Gerâ€" man cartridges, which were defective, have all been recalled, and fresh amâ€" munition made in America substitutâ€" ed. Most of the men wear ordinary el‘otl}es agd bal_ldol_iera, but thousands The corre:pondent nevertheless de. clares his conviction that half of the burghers will not offer serious reâ€" sistance. The burghers of the Orange Free =tate have made relatively limâ€" itead preparation, and the correspond. ent doubts their ability to put more than a thousand men in the field unâ€" ti! that Republic is seriously threatâ€" en«ad with invasion. He declares that terror reigns in the Transvaal. Comâ€" mandering does not spare _ the burghers any more than it does the Uitlanders. _ No private property has escaped. _ Many foreigners, includâ€" ing Englishmen, have professed â€" to yleld their possessions willingly and joined the Boer levies, but they have done so as the best means of csCape. ant General and Viceâ€"President Jouâ€" bert as saying that he had long foreâ€" seen that the triumph of the Afriâ€" kander Bund in Cape Colony _ would precipitate war. He says Great Britâ€" ain will have to send thrice two army corp: to overpower the Boers, who will die to a man in defence of their country. London cable: The following was the Daily Telegraph‘s experienced special war correspordent, dating his despatch from â€" Charlestown, Natal, where he arrived Tuesday from Preâ€" toria, says: "The Boers intend to begin war this week, probably toâ€" morrow or Thursday. Ther leaders are very confident of scoring the first successes. They profess ability to clear all the countr; down to Durâ€" ban." The correspondent adds that thirtyâ€"six trains, full of troops,. left Pretoria on Sept. 30th. Discussing the questions in disâ€" pute, Mr. Burleigh says possibly halt of the burghers in the Transvaal enâ€" tertain absolutely broad views in favor of giving the Uitlanders libâ€" eral terms of citizenship.

London cable: Mr. Gavin Brownâ€" correspondent at Lorenzo Marques reports that H. M. S. Philomel has gone to Durban for the purpose of landing 100 men and a gun. Comâ€" ment‘ng editorially on the foregoing despatch, the Daily Mail says it conâ€" siders that the action reported indiâ€" cates qgrave danger.

Uttawa, Oct. 5.â€"The new spaper reâ€" ferences to the offers of the services of a Canad‘an contingent for the Imperâ€" ‘al army in the Transvaal relate to the unoffical proceedings of our miliâ€" tary men rather than to officlal acâ€" tion There is a widespread interest in the movement, and there is no doubt that if the cCrecumstances seem to reâ€" yuire it such a force can be raised in the Dominion. As pointed out by Sir Wilfr‘d Laurier, there is no Parliaâ€" mentary appropriation for the expenâ€" diture that would be required for the equipment of such a force. But if, in the judgment of the authorit‘es the necess‘ty for off‘cial action arises, the Covernment would doubtless be susâ€" tained by publ‘c opinion in whatever measures might be found necessary to evercome that d‘ eulty.

He had taken the responsibility of toâ€"day telegraphing to the Premier of the Dominion the hope that a body of Canadian volunteers would be offered for service in South Africa, and assurâ€" Ing him not only of his support, but of the belief that the project would hbave the enthusiastic support of all Canadians. ‘ ABOUT CANADIAN AIDP.

New York, Oct. 6.â€"A specia. to the Hera‘d from Boston says: It . was earned _ toâ€"day that _ sixtyâ€"seven transâ€"Atinntic steamers have been chartered by the British Admira‘:ty to transport troops and supp.ies to south Africa. That the Co.umbian and Chicago of the Furness Line had , been taken confirmed toâ€"day. It is also said that the Oakmore of the Johnsâ€" ton Line, which leaves here toâ€"morâ€" row, will upon the discharge of her cargo in London, be turned over to the Government. Mr. Wyilis, the local agent of the ‘ine, has received no ofâ€" ficial advices of the charter. The steamer Nomadic, of the White Star Line, has been taken, also the new Allan Line steamer Bavarian, which has made two trips to Montreal. Freights havs advanced nearsy 50 per cent. on account of the remova‘ of so much tonnage from the Atlanâ€" tic seaboard, and there is every inâ€" dication of a sti‘l greater advance. Grain charters closed Saturday at 3â€" 3â€"4 pence per bushe, and fixtures made yesterday were on a basis of 4 pence per bushel. The rate to Liverâ€" pool Saturday was 2 1â€"4 pence, while yesterday 3 1â€"2 pence per bushe was quoted.
