Lonpon, Nov. 13.—A special despatch from Durban, Natal,dated November 9tb, says that native runoers who have just arrived here report that the Boers sutfered severe defeat at Ladysmith this morning. The Boer guns were silenced after eeveral hours fightisg during which the Boer loss was heavy. No details have been re- csived,

Lonpon, Nov. 13.—-Latest advicee from Kimberley say that the bombardment is atill goiog on. Reinforcements are anxiously looked for. There is heavy bombardment at Ladysmith and Mafeking. The Britisk lost at Mafeking six men, in- cluding Capt. Fitzelarence, Third Royal Fusiliers, Capt. Marsham, Fourth Bed- fordshire, and Capt. Petchell, Third King’s Rifles.

Esrcevrr, Natal, Nov 15.—A company

“ofthe Dublin Fusiliers’-bad a sherp brush

with a large force ot Boers, reported to be 500 in number, near Colenso today.

The Fusiliers went out as a reconnoiters ing party On armoured train,and were fired on by the Boers at Fort Wylie.

The British promptly returned the fire and succeeded ia driving the enemy under cover, after which the British retired, hav- ing captured considerable forage. No casualties are reported on the British side. Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 14.—Your cor- respondent has been within sight of the Boer guns, and baa seen the flashes of the big guns as tkey sent shells in the direc~ tion of Ladysmivb.

Despatches from Ladysmith report the present bombardment as being as heavy as that of last Monday.

‘The British patrols around Estcourt are doing good {work. The firing died away about the middle of the day, but was re- sumed agiin at five o’clock this evening. No Boers Lave been seen in the vicinity of Estcourt since November 9. ;

Lonpox, Nov 14.—A_ despatch: to the War Office from Capetown announces the arrival there - of the troopship Armenian, with th ee bavteries of artillery and an ammunition column, and the troopship Muria with the Scots Guards and haifa battal‘on of the Northamptonshire Regi- ment,

This brings the total number of rein~ forcev.ents up to 12,802, of which 6,000 are already on the way to Durban.

Troopships carrying 12,000 are due at Capetowao tomorrow.

Parts, Nov, 14.—There is coneiderable indignation here over the action of the Bri- tish warship Magicienne in overhauling the French steamer Cordelia, off Lorenzo Marquez in Delagoa Bay. In Coneerva-

calmly, the belief being that the captain of the Magicienne was simply overzealous and that the action will be repudiated by the English Goveroment.

In official circles the control of the cables by Great Britain is regarded asa much more serious matter.

Loxpon, Nov. 14.—A despatch from Shanghai says that the relations of Rus- sia and Japan have almost reached the breaking point. The trouble is cauced by Japan’s refusal to allow the Russiaus to take poseession of land held by the Japan~ ese Government at the Corean port of Massam po.

casualties, the arrival of troopships aa!

THE BOMBARDMENT

OAD IU WOE NER ACE I i

OF LADYSMITH.

—_—-—

brief despatches from Estcourt the move- ments of troops: r: unknown, and a beiated despatch referring to earlier arrivals says after regiment arrives, lands aud vanishes up couatry. The men do not know their destination and the officers have only the vaguest idza . of where they are going.

The otber night a naval brigade was slipped agbore, and almost instanily after landing the brigade disappeared as if it had never existed.

The latest news from Ladysmith is the report of a heavy bombardment on Nov. ember 9th, which was heard miles away. This does not tend to relieve the anxiety.

The steamer Dahomey from Weet Africa brings the report that Mr, Thompson, agent of Bristol firm, and five other men were wurdered near Lahore. Thomp- son and four men were killed by netives, and their heads cut off. The sixth man escaped and brought the news to Lahore. One hundred men were s2nt to punish the natives.

Lorenzo Marquez, Delagoa Bav, Nov. 14.~-Father Mathew Mathews, who has arrived here from Pretoria, says that with reference to the surrender of the Irish Fusiliers and the Gioucestershire troops at Nicholson’s Nek, after the mules stampeded the force got hard preseed by the enemy. They would have held out, however, but some subordinate, without instructions posted a flag of truce on his own responsibility. Nothing then remaine ed but to surrender,

LATER.

A Boer Spy Captured—Krugers Wily Order.

Loxpox, Nov 14,—be war news is ecarce and unimportant. (ne of the Boer

leaders named Marke, a close frieid of Kruger, has been arrested ia Ladysmith as a spy.

Aszoon as President Kruger was inv formed of the arrest he telegraphed to General Joubert to shoot sx British offix cers from those among the prisoners of war if Marks is shot.

TROUBLE IN VENEZUELA.

A Bloody Battle at Porto Cabello.

Porto CaBeLio, Venezuela, November 13.—General Paredea, a former comman- der in the army of ex-President Andrade, who had refused the demand made upon him by General Castro and the de facto authorities to surrender the town, even when this was reinforced by the request of the Britiah, American, French, German and Da'ch commanders, surrendered thie morning at 10 o’clock after a terrib'e bat- tle. The aepect of the city is one of ruin avd devastation, and it is estimated that upwards of 650 pereons were killed or wounded during the fighting.

Gen. Ramon Guerra began a I.nd attack upon the town and the position of Geo. Paredes on Friday night. Desultory fight- ing continued until Saturday morning, about 4 o'clock, and the fierce struggle ev- sued. Gen. Parcedes made a stubborn defence but Gen Guerra forced an entrance into the town at five o’clock yesterday. As early as eight o’clock in the morving the fleet arrived and began a bombardment, but the range was too great aod the firing proved ineffective,

Gen. Paredes held the fort on the hill and Fort Libterrador until this mornivg.

(Porto Cabello is about twen’y m les northwest of Valencia, on the Gulf of ‘Triste. It isa spacions, safe port, witha mole and good wharves. The population ig about 9,000. Its import and export trade has been considerable. Leading articles of export are coffee, hider, ekias, fustic, logwood and indigo. Prior to the bombardment it bad a large mupicipa! building, a custom bouse, a hospital, a charitavle institution and many large and well kept warehouses. )
