London, Oct. 14.?Further do tails are at hand regarding the destruction of the ar/nored train at lCraaipan. These show that O'apt.

Nearing Krua ipan fhe train dashed into a "Divert that had been blown up by th& Boers, who were lying in wait foV thfe train. The Boer artillery immediately opened fire and a desperate fight appears to have ensued, lasting four hours, with the odds greatly against the Brit ' Uh. The precise details are un certain. It seems, however, that a police patrol, attracted by the firing, ap pro&ched within about 5,b00 yards of Rraaipon, saw the train ditched, with the Boer artillery stilt pounding at it, but noticed no response. The Boers seemed afraid to approach until the wreck was complete, ahd the police patrol feared, as there was no itKt ---- .< - c-.^u ui Hid near me train. mat the entire force had perished in a desperate attempt to get ihe train back to Mafeking, where they knew it. was anxiously awaited with its load of guns and ammu nition. It is reported that the Boers loftt heavily, but tttiire is no means of verifying this. Two miles of tails were torn up.
