While the wires to Ladysmith are cut. the optimism of the war ofiicials yesterday evening in refusing to believe that Ladysmith was completely iavested or Cofenso cap tared appears to be justified, as this morning it was asserted that the rail road is still open, though traffic has been conducted with the greater cau tion. What, however, whs only a ru mor yesterday evening may, it is as serted be a reality at any moment, as General Joubert with a large force, is expected to detach a body of several thousand men and make a dash at the railroad. Rumors of all kinds are springing up here. It is even asserted that General White has been compelled to fall bacic an Pietermantzburg. leaving his wounded b-hind. Probably such ru mors have their on?m in tne recollec tion of the ominous silence whieh pre ceded the evacuation o Dundee. But on the other hand it is asserted that the conditions are altertd and the British ?uns now seem more than equal to the artillery of the Boers, thus enhancing the difficulty of any assault on the British lines. A Capetown dispatch reports a tp pulse of the Boers by the British yes terday. While there is a habit here u assume that news of Boer victone emanating from the continent cannot be true, uecause cf the censorship, the ract is fonrotten that foreign govern ments ar" fully pnvilecd to send and receive cipher messages to and from uieir repi cScntaives in South Africa. The list of casualties among the non commissioned officers and men at Far quhar's farm shows the Gloucesters lot thirty killed and fifty-three wounded the Fusileers lost ten killed and forty-one wounded and the Tenth Mountain battery two wounded, before thev surrendered. The captured, whr are siren uncer e uu " j - ....i.- -1- - 1 I ..o?,n- are civiaeu as iuiiu vju-..j..-.-, 19 officers and 350 men Tenth Moun tain battery 5 officers and S4 men Fu sileers not yet reported As a matter of fact the rumors of the capture of the Hussars, the occupa tion of Dundee and the disaster of Monday came first from Berlin, from which city also, came the first news of the Jameson raid. So tidings of any British reverse are as likely to come from ther as from anywhere General White's position is acknowledged to be so precarious that th landing of a big naval brigade to go ro his assistance is lunj: advocated. While yesterday s rumors of Boer and British victories are taken here to indicate that same serious operations have been carried out it is generally recognized that most of the news at present is largely surmis and must be acceptrd with great caution. ESTIMATE Of BOER LOSSES. MiMt of Tbm BAlil to Be Du- to Artil lery Fire. LONDON. Nov 4 Belated dispatch es from the British camp at Ladysmith. Natal, add little information regardinz Monday's fight eicspt the estimates cf the Boer losses which are now said to be ninety-five killed and 20o woundeu. mostly victims of arallery shells. which have done such great havoc that it is said General Joubert. the Bnr commander m chief has written a let ter to General White, the British com mander protesting against the us of lyadite. According to all accounts the presence at Ladysmith of the 'onz range naval guns and the splendid shooting of the bluejackets have ma terially improved the position of the British. A temporary armistice was declared Monday evening to allow of the collecaan cf the dead and wound ed. A dispatch from Kimberley dated October 22 said all the wounded were doing well. Small bodies of Boers, about 400 strong, were then frequently seen. They apparently came from Mafekxng. for the purpose either of as sisting in The attick of Kimberlr- or to resist the advance of reinforcement-.

Special to the World-Herald. There was a breathless interval then, a bis brass gong classed out the signal for the ) opening of hostilities. The champions looked the picture of pnysical condi tion, and subsequent events substan t tiated it. But. what is Uie use of going over the battle by rounds. So far as the boring contest is concerned, it . was a burlesque en modern gladitorial work, a rough and tumble, typical bar i rcom fight, in which only biting and : kicking was barred.

They came together like a couple of mad bulls, and there was nothing but pulling and hauling and rnanlfng untJ the finish. The only wonderful leature about the affair was the mar velous endurance of the two big brutes. Sharkey is a demon, and had he the bulk of the boilerauker the rowdy proceedings would have speedily- ter minated. Sharker is one of the pluckiest and most resolute and aggressive. He was after Jeffries every minute of the bloouy time. There was no let up. It was rush and grunt and clash, a bruis ing of flesh and a crunching of bones nothing else. Sharkey's left ear was hanging to tne side of his head, while Jeffries expansive nose was flattened lik-j an Ethiopian.

White's force is still beleagured at Ladysmith. This war has suddenly become the most mo mentous in which England has en gaged in since the American revolu tion. General Jouberts movement to cut off White from Colenso is being carried out and it is regarded as quite probable that Maritzburg, the capital of Natal will fall into his hands before Buller and his reinforcements arrive. Mr Chamberlain, who had proposed to take his ease at his country seat near Birmingham while the Transvaal was being conquered, has found it necessary to come to town and is in constant communication with Milner. Lord Lonsdale proposes to take out to South Africa 208 men of tne West moreland and Cumberland yeomanry, of which he is colonel, also three Max ims and two fully equippeu ambulance corps. He will place himself in the hands of the war office authorities, to whom he will make his offer almost immediately. The Daily Mail correspondent a; Pietermaritzburg, October 31, says. "It is reported that the Boer force from Koomatiport with guns is making its way through Zululand. it intends to visit each" magisterial district aad hoist the Transvaal flag in it.

I found the Boers in possession aad was accorded safe conduct over the field. The engagement took place on the top of a high mountain, where our infan try had thrown up entrenchments. The ' mule battery had stampeded earlier, while the Boers were engaging the Fu sileers and the Gloucestershires from the hills facing the precipitous front ! of the mountain on which our men were entrenched. Another party of the enemy crept up a gentler slope cf the same eminence and thus our men were . virtually encircled. They surrendered at 2 p. m.. after seven nours continu ous fighting, counted over twenty of ' ous fighting. I counted over twenty of which forms the summit of the hill. Quite a hundred wounded were collect- ! ed during the morning. Eight hundred t and seventy British prisoners were I sent to Pretoria." vES GERMANS TO TAT1ENCL Ceriln laper Say Samoa to Certain to Be G:eu Cp. BERLIN. Nov. C The Vossiche Zeitung says- -We learn from a well mformefl source that the Samona negotiations for a definitive settlement are drawing to a close. Germany has made stren uous efforts to secure the main island, but the hopes for success are very slight. Germans must learn to rec oncile themselves to the idea that it is impossible to keep Samoa. Great Britain cedes the Gilbert aad Solomon islands in compensation, the whole Micrcnesian group, except Guam, will be German, and the New Guinea protectorate, by the addition of this group, would become a valuable nossessian which could not be ex- changed for Samoa.

I I GBvaraar or Nebcaaka la Territorial Dbtb FMmi Away. OMAHA. Neb.. Nov. 3. Ex-Governor Alvin Saunders died at his home in this city at the age of 35 years. He paase.l 1 away easy and naturally and his death seemed to the members of the family gathered around the bedside as though he had merely gone from perfect con sciousness into a gentle sleep. His end has been expected almost hourly for the last ten days. His strength first began failing about six months ago, when his heart showed signs of giving out, and the members of the family knew that his death could not be long delayed. Governor Saunders was appointed, by President Lincoln territorial governor of Nebraska March 25, lSn. At that time the erigencies of the civil war and the hostility of L gome of the Indian tribes on the bor ders of the territory made the office of governor one of exceptional-responsibility. When most cf the able-bodied men of the territory were in the txaioc araay the Indians desolated the frontier and TirriMcred- men. women and children. Governor Saunders promptly issued a proclamaMon calling for volunteers to protect tne frontier and his energetic measures were cheer fully supported. The difficulty wa emphasized by the fact that there were no funds in the territorial treasury, but all the difficulties were overcome and the savages were effectually re pulsed. Governor Saunders was one of the earliest and most enthusiastic advo cates of a trans-continental railway and in his first message to the territo rial legislature in lafil. he said "A i mere glance at the map of the country !
