( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The Times of Natal , In Its Sat urday edition , publishes a report from native sourcea that the British In Ladysmlth en gaged the Boers twlco successfully on Thurs day and Friday. The cavalry Is reported to have scored heavily and great execution was also done by the Infantry with bayonet work. Many Boers were killed and wounded or taken prisoners. The reports appear to ba authentic. Thd Morning Post's St. Petersburg cor respondent says : "Rumors lately current that certain continental powers have been meditating eomo sort of combined action to the detriment of British Interests have not been without foundation. " ' " "I have learned from a Russian source , 3nd can rely on the accuracy of the Information , that a definite attempt has been cnado to biing about the combination between Rus sia , France , Germany and Spain with the object of embarrassing Great Britain In the eettlemcnt of the Transvaal question. Not merely have unolllclal suggestions been made by ono power to another , but the pro posal has been formally discussed by the various governments co.icerneJ. "Russia , Franco and Spain , as Couat Mur- avlolt found In the course of his recent Journeys , were agreed as to the desirability cf intervention , but the success of the move ment was wrecked by the refusal of Germany , the only one of the four directly Interested In South Africa , to take the part proposed to her. " Hoc Hntl Friendly Advice. ( Copyright , 1S93 , by Pre.ss Publlnhlng Co. ) LONDON , Nov. 6. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Lord Charles Beresford , member of Parliament , in a speech lost night said that he regarded with great apprehension what might be the atti. tude of the blacks toward the vanquished , when the British had conquered the Boers , that ho had already said and must repeat that In view of such n contingency the gov ernment was not eVen now sending out euf- ficent troops to South Africa. Probably when the government calculated what was necessary for the campaign it did not reckon upon so early an accidental cap ture of two battalions or of the poastblo ac cessions of Capo Dutch to the Boer side or ot the possible action of the natives or with regard to the possibility of European dic tation. He did not himself believe that the Boors would have ventured to go to war agalnat the united forces and the resources of the British empire unless they had received some friendly advice , quite unofficially , of course , that they would faro better If they fought than if they did not fight and that by fighting they would afford some ground for certain ether countries to Interpose In the way of arbitration. WITHDRAW FROM STORMBERG "rltluli Forci'H Hetlre ( o DuiieiiiiK- tonn , n Junction Town on Kimt Iioniloii Hiillroml , ( Copyright. ISM. by Press Publishing Co. ) EAST LONDON , Capo Colony , Nor. 6. ( New York World Cablegram Special Tele gram , ) The Boer efforts to Incite the Ba- suto chiefs to fight agalnat the British have eo far proved a failure and In fact the British clllclals have much difficulty In re straining the blacks from attacking the Free Stato. The British forces have been withdrawn from Stormbcrg Junction south to Queens- tmvn , alto a junction town on the East L-JI- dbti railroad running to Allwnlnorth , on the Free State border. While this movement has alarmed the In- habltantB and has produced a bad effect locally , It wnb absolutely necessary from a strategic point of view , as the troops were not numerically strong enough to oppose tbo Free State forces , which have seized Allwulnorth and are moving couth down the railroad. \ Officials here are quite confident of the ability of General White to hold out at Lady- smith until General Buller's army Is ready for work. Everything here and elsewhere through the Cape Indicates a fierce and bloody strug gle with tbo two republics , All opinions agree that tbo Boers will light to the end and It la believed the Impeilal government la not lens determined , LIEUT. WINSTON CHURCHILL. Imil ) xiiiltli Completely Siirroiinileil , LONDON , Nov. 6. The officials of the British war office , when shown the dispatch from Durban of November 3 , paid they had no further newH regarding the military sit uation in Natal , but thought no undue slg- r nlflcnnco should bo attached to the conclud ing phrnec. They could not sny whether the railroad to Ladysmlth was Intact , but they admitted that Lndytmlth Is now com pletely surrounded. BRITISH PUBLIC IS RELIEVED AflMiirniit'e tltnt I.ndjoinltH In Snfc Mftft Welsh ! of Anxiety from Mind * or KiiKll > i. LONDON , Nov. C. An Immense weight was lifted from the public tnlnd by a brief dispatch published this morning by which the ) continual stories of disaster at Lady- smith were proved to be false , although the dispatch Itself revived the anxiety of the moro timid In another direction , as It Indi cated that General White , Instead of ell- 1 ting tight and acting wholly on the defen sive , as It was held In many quarters he ought to do , pcrsltts In making sorties and risking another Nicholson's Nek disaster. Generally , however , the cheery tone of the dispatch showing that thcro Is no anxiety at Ladysmlth ns regards the ability of the bcloagurcd garrison to hold Its own , has had nn excellent effect en the country. From the fact that General White Is able to take the offensive and shell n Boer camp It seems that Ladysmlth is not to closely besieged as was supposed. Not much Im portance , however , la attached to the shell ing of the Boer laager , as the war office has no conflnmatlon of the story that the Ornngo Frco Staters camp ut Bester's has been captured. Were this true It might have considerable effect on the future at titude of the Orange Frco State , which la not so directly concerned In the conflict aa the Transvaal. The movement of Boers Into Capo Colony is beginning to awaken British fear that they tnvo greatly underestimated the forces they will have to meet and that oven General Bullcr's task may not bo BO easy ns anticipated. It | s becoming apparent that all the British calculations , based on 'tho loyally ot population , are hopelessly at sea or there has been a very serious leakage of Dutch eraypnthtzers from Nntal and Capo Colony. Othtrwlfio , there is no accounting for the largo forces ot burghers reported from all directions. The was office , consequently , Is being urged to have more troops In read- Ineas for all possible demands. ° Wltliilriiwnl Still Uiicxnlnliica. The evacuation of Colenso and the re ported withdrawal of the British force from Stormberg are still unexplained. The former may bo duo to cither the Boor artillery rendering the place untenable , or to the fact that pressure elsewhere , possibly at Pleter- . has necessitated Ihn pnncnn m. tlon at n threatened point of all available troops. It Is said that It the objective of the Boers traversing Zululand was rioter- marltzburg , they ought shortly to bo heard from. That the position Is regarded as seri ous Is apparent from the fact that British cruisers arc hurrying to the Capo station. With regard to Stormberg it Is claimed that if It turns out to bo true that the place has been evacuated , it may cither bo duo to the Impossibility at present of pro viding an adequate garrison to defend such Important supplies against the Boer raids , or to a change In General Buller's plans whereby General Methuen's division will be landed at Durban to relieve General White. If the latter plan Is decided on , the nearest available stores are those at Stormberg and the quickest method of mak ing the necessary provision for an advance will bo to railroad 'thpso stores to East ( London , whence tfiey would reach Durban before the first troopship. A dispatch frcm.Portland says that the " ( special service"quadron has been Instructed to coal for , a voyage and that no one con nected with the squadron Is permitted to ' Bleep outside the jpprf.

Schrelner , has eent a circular to the magistrates and others warning all persona against statements to the effect that the parliamentary Institutions and constitutional government will bo lester or detrimentally affected. Ho adds that the proclamation of martial law Is only n mat ter of temporary urgency In some districts and does not compel the burghers o ths colony to participate In the "deplorable hostilities. " Prince Christian Victor of Schleswlg-Hol- eteln , grandson of Queen Victoria and a cap tain In the King's Royal Rifles and other officers have left Capetown for Ladysmlth to replace the dead and wounded. The Boer prisoners hav been taken on board the British cruiser Penelope. They number nine officers and ISO men. The Dutch farmers of Allwal North hnvo passed a resolution making a strong pro test agalnet the allegations of the disloyalty of the Dutch In Cape Colony. An official notice posted at the Landrost's office at Vryburg , October 28 , referring to the bombardment of Mafeklng , says : "The big Pretoria gun wrought great de struction , hut the enemy obstinately holds j Its own. Other advices from Vryburg say I the British flag still floats over Kuruman , but that a Boer force is about to proceed thither. The Dolarlcs commando has been reinforced by 3,000 Boers and has gone to Klmborley. I DURBAN , Natal , Nov. 3.

A dispatch from Maseru , Basutoland , dated Friday evening , eays that slnco Magistrate Lngden's naming that their Interference ! with the Basutos would cause an uprising , the Boers have been letting the Basutos cress the river Into Basutoland , The natives , however , continued to complain that they were being robbed of their savings by the authorities.

" The rcpulde of the Free Stnto forces Octo ber 27 la claimed by the Boers to have been n brilliant victory and they say at Elands- laagto the British ( led and that at Lady- smith the Boers retired because they had expended their ammunition.

CcMoncl Miner welcomed the officials on behalf of the United States. In the course of his remarks he said : "Negros leads in the van of civil gov ernment In the Philippines. Your honor lies In adding n new star to freedom's flag. " General Smith , during a speech , said : "Your future promises as brightly as Japan's , which today Is recognized as among the civilized nations of the world. " Senor Scverlno , In replying , said the best thing for the future of Negros was the con tinuance or close relations with the United States. General Smith then announced the grantIng - Ing of freedom to the political prisoners In commemoration of the event. General Hughes , In command nt Hello , tendered a congratulatory speech over the eastern cable from that place. General Smith In an Interview remarked that It was of the utmost Importance that the Filipinos should be taught to recognize the sovereignty of the United States. "Tho graveet danger , " he said , "threaten ing a peaceful administration is Intrigue among the Insular politicians , " nnd he de clared that the United States government must for years keep control of the Philip pines to prevent such conditions. The members of the Sixth Infantry , which Is divided In thirty garrisons throughout the Island of Negros , ore undergoing great hardships. A recently organized revolutionary move ment has been discovered In northern Ne gros and the leaders have been forced to withdraw to Panay.

The Insurgent force Is estimated at 1,000. Colonel Smith first encountered a small force entrenched a quarter of a ratio beyond An geles , which soon retreated , leaving two of their number dead.
