Severe fighting between the British and the Boers the Hume Uno' has since been reported, and it is regarded in some quarters as QUITE POSSIBLE that Hen. Joubert, always noted tor his porn-OHM courage and coolness. may have dangerously exposed himself in a personal reconnaissance of the Brit- ish position. Even lieu. Joubert's most bitter "ttratios admit that he fought squarely and fairly, and his action when Gen. Hymons died, In expressing his sympathy, elevated him to the high regard of all soldiers. it is claim- ed that the death ot Joubert would be likely to lead to the adoption by the Boers of holder and more active tut:- tles, as he had considerable difficulty in restraining his hot-lmmled follow- ere.

It, is claimed, although there has been no official announcement, to that affect. that the British authori- ties have inniposed three days' deLay on ali telegrams allowed to come through from South Africa. As a matter ot fact, most of the messages offered for transmission are peremp- toriily refused by the censor. It is stated that this action has been taken because, early in the campaign, when the correspondents :x:.i others were allowed considerable liberty, apparently innocent messages miivnyed secret information. There is now a block on the cable, but tele- grams passed by the censors are promptly forwarded. The course of tho Government in refusing trantunitr- sion to diplomatic telegrams between the xmwers and their representatives at Pretoria has brought out protests, but the British authorities point out, what is undoubtedly n fact, that this privilege has been abused in Hovernl instances, and therefore it has been cancelled. The detepatcheri from l‘ortn- mil to the Governor of the Dolagon Buy dietriet, however, are allowed to puss through. Except at r:stcouvt, Natal, despatches offered by none- J/Gila/til "Grd" now refused at all points In South Africa. This embargo will probably be lifted shortly. b'llr'.rl h1TATEith", WiTHDitAW1NG I' L'vlated dosputches from Ladysmith, dated Nov. 7th, tell of a languid bom- bardment. and a native rumor that the anutos are on the warpatlt, which is supposed, according to one Iurrrespondent, to have had the effect of inducing some of the Orange Free State troops to abandon the siege and to return to their own territory', and also to be accountable tor the slack- ness or the attempts on the Lady- mdth defences.
