I BOERS ARE STIRRING ALL ALONG THE WESTERN FRONTIER. / - ii Hampered by Transport ot Big ii Ordnance. How Boers Will Re li treat?They Find Food Scarce. I London, Nov. 13?4 :30 a. ni.? ^ . T There are signs of greatly increased Boer activity in Natal P and along the western frontier. ? All the dispatches tend to show 1 that the British are holding out a ably. It is beginning to be proved that the acquisition of artillery, a which has destroyed the former ^ mobility of the Boer forces, has a also failed to give them any com ^ pensating advantage. On the con- ^ trary the reserve is the case. It is held here, that, if the Boers had * not been hampered by the trans * port of heavy guns and their res r cue from tight places, Gen. Jou- ^ bert might ere this have been in 1 Pietermaritzburg. It is believed that the Boer re- ^ treat will be made over the Dry- c kensburg range into the Zout- * pansberp district, where every preparation for provisioning and maintaining the Boers is said to have been made for the last stand, | and where it will be difficult to g dislodge them. Already it is ru- a mored that they are in straits for r food around Lauysmith and may, 8 therefore, be obliged to abandon v the siege. [ Dispatches from Estcourt indi- ] cat-j there is no foundation for thi fear that the Lyddite ammunition at Ladysmith has been exhausted. Some officers seen in J Ladysmith indicate the Doer bombardment has to some extent been effective. Strong bids are being (3 made by the Boers for the eup- 1 port of the Cupe Dutch, but witn- r out inucii success so lar. r roin t Stormberg it is reported that the f Free State forces are working 8 slowly toward Dordrecht, with a view of attacking Queenstown and cutting oil' the towns in the f northern district of Cape Colony. ?

Even now Athens people are slow to accept the . explanation, but the figures on > the books seem to leave no room r for doubt on this mystery of " months. ' How or why Mr. Benedict came ? short is not known yet; but the 1 facts that there was trouble in I hi8 accounts and that he knew his i bank was virtually wrecked is too evident for dispute.
