THREE ATTACKS BY BOERS No Doubt, From tho British Polit of View, That the Situation In Natal Is Rapidly Improving With the Arrival of Fresh Troops. LoNDoy, Nov. i3.-The simultaneous attacks on Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley, which were opened Thurs day, manifest full recognition by the Boers of the fact that every day lessens their chances of a successful onslaught on any of the three British strongholds. General Joubert's chances of reaching Pietermaritzburg can be said to have vanished. This is already reported to be admitted by Colonel Schiel, the Ger man officer commanding the Boer artil lery, who is supposed to have been largely the author of the Boer plan of pV.paign and who, in an interview, is alleged to have said: "The Boer intention was to have cap tured ?ietermaritzburg and then to dic tate terms. Bdt all hope of accomplish ing this must now be abandoned." There is po doubt that fro.-i the Brit ish point of view, the general situation In Natal is improving. Nearly 8.000 troops reached South Africa during the last 48 hours and by the end of the week 1.000 more will be added to the British strength in Natal. This will probably be pushed forward to Estcourt, bringing the British force there up to 20,000 men, and making a general attack on Lady Bmith by General Jcubert very hazard ous. As the cavalry and artillery belong. ing to General Methuen's division wiil not have arrived by then, the advance from Estcourt may be delayed. But If it is deemed essential to open communication with the be'eagured town at the earliest possible moment, General Methuen, it is believed, may decide to replace the regular cavalry and artillery by the Natal and Uitlander mounted forces and the naval guns, in which case, it is claimed. it ought to be possible to accupy Colenso and stretch out a hand to General White by Mon day, though, it is added, the course to be followed by General Methuen must nec essarily be dictated entirely by official knowledge of General White's position and resources. The experts hope General Methuen will be able to await the concentration of the whole division before advancing and thus have a better chance of dealing a tellifig blow to General Joubert's in army, which, it is asserted, will b caught between two British forces and coinpelled either to fight a general action or retire. The only official dispatches from the front made public today contained a list of the officers and men wounded in the engagements around Mafeking, Kim. berley and Ladysmith. A special dispatch from Durban, Na tal, dated Thursday Nov. 9, evening, says: "Native runners who have just ar rived here report that the Boers suffered a severe defeat at Ladysmith this morn ing. The Boer guns were silenced after four hours' fighting, during which the Boer losses were heavy. No details have been received." BOARD SUM NS DOUTHIT. State L~quor Commis sion May Be Re moved From Offie,. COLUMMIA, S. 0., Nov. 13.-The dis pensary board of control has formally adopted a letter summoning State Liquor Commissioner J. B.

HUTSvILE, Ala., Nov. 13.-A corres pondent writing from Birmingham to a local paper says: "In conversation with Admiral Schley Tuesday I asked him if he did not think the construction of the Nicaragua canal would mean great things for the United Sttes. The admiral replied: "'I consider it imperative that the ca nal be built at once. It would then en able us to mobilize our fleets on either coast on short notice and would facili tate our defense in case of war and ren der the American navy invincible. And then it would open up the way to the Orient, where a ready market can be found for our cotton, iron and coa.'" IClash Between Railroads. CERAw, S.

Bamford Weds Mrs. O'Brien In Washington City. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-An interest ing sequel to the well remembered Ro meyn courtmartial at Fort McPherson, Ga., in the early part of 1&97, occurred in this city Saturday last, when Lieu tenant Frank Ellis Bamford, Fifth in fantry, was married to Mrs. Mae Ken dall O'Brien. These two persons played as promi not a part in the trial of Captain Henry Iomeyn, now retired, as that officer himself. In fact, it was Captain Ro meyn's caustic comment on the alleged improper conduct of Mrs. O'Brien and Lieutenant Baniford that led directly to the assembling of the courtmartial. Lieutenant Bamford was engaged to Miss Nina Romeyn, and while the be trothal still existed the lieutenant paid court to Mrs. O'Brien, wife of a fellow officer, and at whose house he lived. Captain Romeyn did not think Lieuten ant Bamford's conduct the proper thing for an engaged man and so expressed himself freely. connecting the officer's name with that of Mrs. O'Brien. Lieu tenant O'Brien hearing of this accosted Captain Romeyn at dress parade one afternoon and demanded an explanation. Captain Romeyn responded by knock ing the junior officer down. The courtmartial followed and Cap tain Romeyn was convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and prejudicial $o the good of the service, but was al lowed to retire without punishment. A short while ago Lieuter.ant O'Brien died after a number of escapades and many narrow escapes from courtmartial. After her husband's death Mrs. O'Brien came to this city to live, where she has a number of relatives. Lieu tenant Bamford, who has been stationed at Omaha, Neb., came on to this city last week, secured a license, and on Sat urday afternoon was wedded to Mrs. O'Brien at her residence. 721 Nine teenth street, N.

The survivors had been without food or water for W0 hours and suffered great hardships. having chewed the leather of their shoes to keep from starving.
