DUUBAN , Oct. 11 , Morning. There nro persistent rumors In Pletermarltzburg that a largo party of Free State Boers have en tered Natal. The rumor , however , lacks confirmation. LONDON , Oct. 11. U the latest reports which arc confirmed from various points In South Africa , arc true , the llocrs have noi waited lor me expiration 01 me inuu iimu but have alrcadj crossed the border , an they would bo entitled to' do both Invirtue of the notification contained In the last paragraph of the ultimatum and also of the British acknowledgment , which reached 1'retoria so speedily as lo Justify a belief amounting almost to certainty , that the war party In Great Britain , while welcoming an net which has deprived the countiy o : all peaceful alternatives and given It the great superficial advantage to be derive ! from the fact that the adversary has volun tarily assumed the stigma of virtually de claring war , was eagerly awaiting its chance. A dispatch from rietcrmarltzburg , Natal says Intense excitement prevails there owing to persistent reports that the Orange Tree SUte troops linvo already crossed the border and arc advancing" upon Ladi-smlth. A later dispatch from Pletcrmarltzburg says the Invaders entered Natal by the 1m portant pass of Cundy Clough , thirty-seven miles southwest of Newcastle. i : n u I n ml Uniir There will Inevitably be a long period o suspense , together with a great deal o chafing , U delay , as all Indications go to show that Great Britain Is no unprepared as .0 bo compelled to i matn on the defensive for some weeks. All the aggressiveness must come from the Boers. It seems highly probable that the "tongue of Natal , " aa far as Newcastle , will be In the hands or the 3oers before many hours , rrom that point iowe\er , In the event of a further advance : hey would probably find Brltali forces a Ladvemlth and Dundee capable of repelling their attacks. AI Lanysmun tno garrison , wnlcn has to ; uard against an onslaught from the Qrang Free State , was reinforced yesterday uy th Gordon Highlanders and a strong contlngen of the Indian troops , and the authritlus ar now confident of their ability to deal out ai unpleasant ourprlse to the Boers'in the even of an attempt to rush the position , At Dundee there are , about 6,000 men , Thl force ought to bo sufficient to stem a Bee advance by way of Zululand and to maintain the line of communication with the base a Plotermarltzburg , the headquarters of Gen ural Sir George Stewart White. On th Bcchuanaland border the situation seems t jive the Boers a temporary advantage , Ther Is considerable nnxlcty In the districts o Voburg and Mafoklng , although It Is hope < that the reinforcements recently dl patcbei there will bo nufllclcnt to protect the rlc town of Kimberloy.

A curious story Is in circulation regardIng - Ing Lord Rosebery's silence , unbroken unit today. It Is said that the real object ot It was to lead President Kruger to believe that Loid Rossbery and his followers might come to the assistance of the Transvaal thus stiffening President Kruger's b-xck to resist British demands. According to this explanation Lord Ilosebery'a fears had been that President Kruger would yield , whlcl from his lordship's point of view -would have been fatal , as he Is fully convinced that the only road to permanent peace Is the defeat of the Boers ? .
