WAR MAY HAVE COMMENCED
England’s Renly Will be a Refusal
OF KRUGER’S DEMAND. PRE- PARATIONS STILLGO ON. And a State of War Probably Exists at This Time.
(Specran to Toe Examrver.]
Lonpon, Oct 11.—It cannot be doubted that Eogiand’s reply will be a flat rejection of President Kruger’s demands and that a quarter after three o’clock this p. m., English time, an actual state of war will eXist, as the British troops continue land- ing in South Africa and are advancing to the front.
It is quite possible according to the terms ofthe Boer ultimatum that hostili- ‘ties have already commenced, as Kruger , bas everything to gain by an instant aa- vance.
Sharp fighting is likely to occur at Mafeking where Colonel Baden~Powell is holding bis exposed position.
Lonpon, Oct, 10.—A despatch to the Times from Lobatsi says:—‘‘As a result of an ipcognito visit to one of the Boer camps at Malmani,I learned that there were 16,000 men oa the Natal border, and that the Repablicis easily able to send 6,000 men west. It does not intend to let the Enoglieh entice all its force tothe Nata! frontier.
A despatch to the Times from Lisbon saysthat many large consignments of ammtuition have recently paseed, and are still akowved to pass, through Lorenzo Marques, East Africa, presumably for use by the Boers. It seems true that most of this ammunition comes from Eoglish makers, and is carried by English ships.
Her Majesty, in Privy Council at Balmoral this morning, assented to the calling of Parliament, the mobilization of reserves, and the continuance in the army of ali soliders now serving who in ordinary circumstances would be entitled to diss charge or transfer to the reserves.
It is rumored at Portsmouth that the Admiraity may organize a flying squadron for the Cape.
Although the impending army corps isa matter of prominent m/l] iary interest, the troops already on the scene of probable action constitute no insignificant body. The original Cupe garrison was 9,000 men. aod this has been increased by 4,500. There are 12,000 men at sea, ov the wav to the Cape, and their arrival wili make the approximate total of British troops in South Africe, prior to the arrival of the army corps, 25.590. These troops do not include the irregular forces, the Cape Mounted Rifles, the Port Elizabeth and Grahamtown Volunteers, the Natal police, the Durban Ligat lofaotry, the Austrajiaa force, nor the regular naval brigade.
The Cape squadron now includes ten warships, all heavily manned; and the British first-class pretected cruisers Terrible ana Powerful will soon arrive, enabling thenavy to Janda brigade ot about two thoasand men.

NO DANGER OF COMPLICATIONS
With the Other Powers of Europe,
PRESIDENT KRUGER HAS MADE A MISTAKE
Alienates
Hostile Action.
{[Seeciat To Toe Examiner ]
Lonpoy, Oct. 11.—Admiralty are con- concentrating transports, twenty-four of which are already in readiness et Liver- pool alons.
There is coasidered to be no longer any question that the Government fears com- plications,
The ultimatum is the absorbing topic of conversation.
At vhe clubs and in political circles the general feeling is expressed thatthe Boers had made a mistake, as their forciag matters would tend to alienate any sym- pathy which might haye been extended to them, had they throwao the steg ma of de. claring waron Great Britain.
Lospox, Oct. 9.—The most important news from South Africa comes from Mate~ King, where twice on Saturday the British camp was aroused. The men stood to their arms, guns were limbered, and pat- rola were despatched i in the direction of the border. No hostilities have occurred as | yet, but the enemy has moved practically to the border, eight miles from Mafeking, in force estimated at least 6,000, compris- ing five commands.
The garris wing ¢n1 fo-tify ng of the town are pract'cally completed. The streets are barricaded, and a perf-ct system of mines have kee: laid. Two armoured trains have arrived at Mafeking, consisting of three bullet-proof cars, the first of which carries asearch igt’,whi @ the sides of the carsare loophoied. Experiments with lyddite in the mines prove that it is an extremely powerful ex; losive.
Col. Robert Stephenson Smith Baden- Powell, commanding the Fifth Dragoon Guarde, has issued a notice that the Boers who are massed on the Natal and Be-~ chuanaland frontiers,hbave orders not to fire until] the British forces begia, aad that the town 1s well prepared for eventualities. But as the Boers may shell the place every endeavor should be made to safe~ guard the womenand children.
An amored train was inspected at Kim- berly on Saturday. A signal station has been erected with a conning tower at the top 130 feet above the tracks, Communication by telephone is had withacentral office, and signals are given to the troops by flag. By this means manoeuvres were successfully conducted on Saturday. The troops uumber 5,000 iacluding the bicycle corps. A train was also successfully tested at Mafeking. It patroiled to the north and pract sed firing at targets.
A despatch from Kimberley to the Cape Tows Argus saysthat 3,000 Boers are en- camped between Boshof aud Kimberley. They are wellarmed, and great religions fer\oris shown in thecamp. The Boers, however, are chafing under the delay, They patrol the border nightly, and have been ordered not to permit a British uniform to approach the frontier.
Lonpoxy, Oct. 10.—Lord Salisbury’s whip to the lords, issned last night, says parliament will deal with matters of grave moment.
The latest cespatch from Lic renzo Marquez relativgto the chasing ot the steamer Guelph by the cruiser Philomel, caused some stir, especially as it was an~) nounced that the Guelph had landed at, Durban 414 cases Of ammunition for the

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND
When the Boer Ultime- tum Was Received
THE DESPATCH WAS SENT TO THE PRINCE OF WALES
Which is Only Done on Very Urgent Occasions.
(SPecraL To THE ExAmIner.]
Loxpox, Oct 11—The Ee’r ultimatum on its arrival was sent with all speed to Lord Salisbury, who came to town at once and the despatch box was sent tothe Prince of Wales, which is only done in cases of special urgency.
Tremeudous excitement reigos in Lon - don and all over Great Britain.
Every department 1s as buey as if hos-
tilities mad begun. The electric dash which aznounced the mobilization of the reserves and the assembling of Parliament followed .by President Kruger’s ultima- tum, set every wheel of the Government machinery in motion. An hour after the gazette appeared ex- ecutive orders were being despatched from the War Office to every section of the Kingdom and the 19,000 bulletins which appeared as if by magic posted throughout the couutry are said to be identical with the { proclamation prepared for use had the Fashoda incident required such steps.
