IlrltUh Make Msht AttneKn. LONDON , Nov. Ifi. A dispatch to the Dally Mall from Mafoklng , sent by way of Magalapye , because the runners sent south ward were unable to traverse the Doer lines , gives an Interesting account of the firing In the last week of October. The message saya : "After the failure to reach the town Gen eral Cronjo had recourse to the tactics em ployed during the sclgo of Potchofstroom In 1S81 , making an advance to the town by a succession of trenches in Echelon. Such a move had been nntlMpated by us for some time and for that reason there had been ecnt out parties to worry the Doers Incessantly by night attacks. "Thcso tactics the enemy disliked , but ho contented himself with n dally shell fire which exposed him to little personal risk. Then Colonel Daden-Powell played his trump card by sending out Fltz-Clarence's party to worry the occupants of the trenches. The little force stole out silently In the dark ness. No shot was fired and the men with fixed bayonets , creeping rather than walking along , gradually approached the chief Doer position. Then na they closed In thcro was a shrill screech. H was Fltz-Clarence'fl whistle and the signal for an onslaught. Ilnjonct Sleeping Ilocm. "A ringing British cheer , which the listen ers back In camp caught up , was the only reply as the party dashed Into the trenches. There was a fearful struggle , the attacking forces catching and bayoneting the Doers under the tarpaulins where they crouched crying for mercy. At least fifty bayonets got to work and tbe havoc they wrought was terrible. "For just a moment there was no sys tematic return fire , but then a perfect hall- storm of bullets poured In from the trenches to the rear. When again Fitz-Clarcnce's whistle sounded , it meant , 'Scatter and homeward. ' The Drltlsh force scattered silently , creeping back under the furious flro In the darkness to the appointed rendezvous , where the roll was called. "Colonel Daden-Powcll met and congratulated * ulated Captain Fltz-Clarcnce and his men on their splendid work , saying that It was a heavy price to pay , but that the Doers had to be stopped making rifle trenches within range of the town. The members of the party nro the envy and pride of the forces. Even the Doer commander expresses ad miration of the action and added he would take Mafeklng before long , for he meant to do ono thing or the other. " "Sunday parsed quietly , the v6lunfoe'r band in ' ! " ' ' playing the women's"lJiaRef. 'All Sunday night the Boers poured a rjfjq re , ' Into the to'wn. It was set 'going after din ner Sunday evening , when Colonel Dadon- .Powell hoisted ared lamp on the i commonage menage , which was the scene of. tCapfaln ' Fltz-Clarcnco's midnight attack , Thp ruse ' answered splendidly. The moment the light appeared the Doers opened flro and their fusillade latcd the whole night through. "There has been a tremendous waste at ammunition , indeed It is estimated that 30- 000 rounds of ball cartridges were wasted on the occasion of the night attack on the a ! Deer trenches. Double rations have been | 1 served out to the men who are under shcl- ' ter , EO as to be on the safe side , if the Doers should sweep the town by a long j1 range rifle fire. The garrison Is banging on finely. "Colonel Daden-Powell has the greatest confidence in everybody , especially In the matter of Implicit obedience to the order to hold the fire until the Doers get to close range. "Tho shelling continued nil day Sunday at Intervals. About 4 o'clock in the after noon General Cronjo sent In a flag of truce , giving Mafeklng the last chance to sur render. While the flag was reelvlng pt- tentlon the heavy bombardment continued. " DcNcrllitlnit of Cronje'n Attack. The dispatch then describes Croqje's at tack of Monday , the details of which have "been " cabled to Colonel Daden-Powell. "Tho end came , " says the correspondent , "after five hours' fighting. The enemy re tired , being heavily beaten for nil tliiio , EO far as Mafeklng Is concerned. It was the hottest day of the siege and the firing was terrific , the Doers evidently recognizing } hat the way Into Mafeklng , If any. Is by n kopje , ' which was gallantly defended by Colonel !

All tbq men were killed by bullets or shells. The lookout toner was ehot to pieces , whllo oven the saddles of tbo horses wore fear fully battered about. The whole place was simply smashed up by the concentrated fire of seven guns and a thousand rifles , "The Doers at first held on to their ad vance plucklly , but they could not live when they came to short range , the men being shot down nt 300 yards. The enemy Is expected to draw off early In order to de fend Pretoria. Thcro la still no news from the Eoutli. As I send this message 000 Doers have gone south with wagons and have commenced shelling.

The troopship Ha- warderi Castle , with the Second battalion of the Royal Irish Fuslleero , has arrived at Durban , bringing the number of relnforco- raontri that have landed them 'up to 5,227. Five other troopships are now cnroute from Capetown 'to Durban : Tbo total reinforcements that have arrived In South Africa since Friday are 10,000 men , chiefly Infantry ; nearly 13,000 borers and mules , three batteries cf Held artillery and a number of quick-firing Maxim guns. The fact that the Drltannlc proceeded for East London Is taken to mean that General Duller Is satisfied that the troops which have al ready landed or are now on the way to Dur ban will be sufficient to carry out hla plans for the relief of Ladysmlth , TriiimnortH IlVacU C'upetim n , LONDON , Nov.

LONDON , Nov. 15. If the news contained In the Pretorla dlnpatch , of Thursday , No vember 9 , by way of Capetown , Friday , November 10 , Is correct , and thor.e is every reason to believe It la accurate , ns the Doer dispatches have almost Invariably hitherto rendered fairly accurate accounts , It Is as serted here that It Implies a general assault on Ladysmlth was pending when General Joubcrt's report was sent off. Attention Is called to the fact . .that the date , November 9 , Is assumed to'bo the t date of General White's late pigeon-post message announc ing a Renewal of. the- bombardment , since which nothing has been received , except ' rumors frcm Estcpurt , that the bombard ment was suspended November 10 , It Is asserted that If the Doers got their forces within l.BQO yards of the Drltleh posi tion It shows they fully realized the neces sity of utilizing the brief Jnterval before the arrival of the Drltlsh reinforcements to make a determined attempt to storm General AVhlte's position.

It musthowever " * , have been patent to General Joubert that Ladysmlth would not fall to Iho fire of his artillery , and , therefore , ho had no choice but to assault the place or retire to" the passes of the Drakons- burg In the hope of Involving the pursuing Drltlsh In the .Intricate fastnesses of the mountains. The- cessation of the cannonade mentioned In the' dispatch and the opening of musketry flro Implies , It Is said , that the Doers were obliged to" stop their artillery for fear of hitting their own men , and that nothing further has bbcn heard from this movement la regarded "here as an Indication cither that , the thrcalened assault was post poned or that the result was Indecisive , otherwise , it Is said , something further would have leaked , out before now. IMxcrcdlt KrcncH Slorlen. A Paris paper today gleefully announces the fall and capture of Ladysmlth , but re ports from this sotlrce no longer cause a ripple of excitement- Nevertheless there will bo conslderable nnxlety here until the war ofllco or some Independent version of the latest developments at Ladysmlth Is known.

The details of 'the' fighting nt Mnfeklng re ceived by way"of Capetown and Magalapye relate to the engagement of October 25 , al ready reported. The story , however , Is pleas. ant reading to the British , ns It shows the garrison was cheerful , well provisioned and confident. The possible revolt of the Dasuto chief , Jocl/'who , It has been announced , may Join the Doers , Is attributed to tribal Jeal ousy. There has been a long feud between the half-brothers , Jonathan and Joel , the latter refusing tqi recognize his brother's nomination as chief. Joel therefore took an anti-British , side U ajnst Jonathan In 1880 and committed mosl hideous atrocities.

CHICAGO , Nov. 15. The federal authori ties today took cognizance of the reports which had been made concerning the alleged fraudulent business of the Hoard of Trade firm of McLaln Dros. & Co. and arrested Charles K , and Albert L. McLiln of the firm. The charge was using the United States malls an n scheme to defraud. The prisoners were taken bcforo United States Commissioner Humphrey , where they waived examination on the charge and were held to the federal grand jury In bonds of $5,000. The ball was what Is known ns n joint and several bond , the whole of which will bo forfeited , If cither or both of the defendants fall to appear in court when called upon. The two Doard of Trade men are said to have run their operations with customers In various parts of the country two years ago and It Is claimed they realized (500,000 through their "bucket shopping" scheme. They will not appear In court again until next spring and not then unless the federal grand jury finds true bills on the charges. The firm of McLaln Dros. & Co. has stopped all operations on the market , hav ing transferred its trade. The case which will be presented before the next grand jury Is said to show most flagrant violations of the Doard of Trade rules , as well as offenses against the postal laws. The firm's busi ness consisted principally of deals for coun try customers. The members of the firm are eatd to have "matched" buying or sellIng - Ing orders from customers with the reverse trade on Us own account and the work Is said to have been carried on so quietly that many customers lost money on the fictitious sales. The evidence In the case Is In the custody of the postplllcc inspectors and Is made up of a bundle of several hundred letters writ ten by the defendants to their customers. Some of thcso customers were : F. A. 'Hykc ' , Luverne , Minn. , H. M. Lloyd , Sterl- , lng , Knn.j J. J. Stevens , Dalton , Kan. ; Hun ter Milling company , Wellington , Kan. ; A. C. Mains , Philadelphia , 111. The warrant for the arrest of the McLaln brothers was based on the alleged swindle of L. A. Hyko of Luverne , Minn. , who seems to have lost about $20,000 In his dealings with the firm. The Doard of Trade rules pro vide that when sales or purchases are made for n customer the firm must furrtlsh _ the former with memoranda , giving the natno of the firm from which the purchases were made or to which the commodity was soli ) , as well ns the prices at which the deals were made. The evidence consists of letters and | memoranda of transactions made with cus tomers and shows that while an effort wnfi made to keep within the letter of tbe Donrd of Trade rules , a conspiracy existed among certain local firms to violate them. It Is eald thcso deals , which were made by the McLaln brothers for customers In the west , were "bucket shopped" and never reached the grain pit.
