THE WAR. FLIGHT FROM DUNDEE. LOOTING THE TOWN. A CORRESPONDENT CAPTURED. TERRIBLE TIME FOR THE REFUGEES, j (Central News Special Correspondent). Umsinga (Natal), Friday, 8 p.m.—I have already advised you from Glencoe of the events which followed the Boer Bombardment of the British camp. The enemy's guns, it is held, were throwing 501b. shells, and from their position on the Impati Mountain their missiles were alighting amongst the cavalry stationed near Rowan's Farm. There was then no reply from the British gunners. Our dead and wounded from Friday's battle were all lying in the temporary hospitals on Smith's Hill. Early in the evening of Sunday it was evident that the British camp was being struck with a view to the removal of the forces elsewhere. At the same time it was observable that the Boers had taken up apositioll. on the hills to the west of Dundee. Then the shelling of the camp and town from their heavy guns begiin again, and it was at once apparent that the range of their guns was such that it would be absolutely necessary to evacuate the camp. This was accord- ingly proceeded with in all haste, the shelling of the camp continuing from the two hills upon which the Boers had established their batteries. From both positions the shells were entering the camp, but the cannonade did not last long, the British forces retiring quickly beyond range. The camp and the hospital were left behind, with a great quantity of stores. The retirement of the Imperial forces created, as might be expected, much excitement, amongst the townsfolk of Dundee, and when the report was circulated that General Yule had advised j the chairman of the Local Board to see to the immJ- diate evacuation of the town the prevailing excite- ment was considerably increased. On the Sunday evening news was received at Dundee that reinforce- ments under Sir George White had arrived at Glencoe, and would probably join the force at Dundee in the morning for a combined attack upon the Boer position on the neighbouring hill. This report, however, did not stay the exodm of the people, and nearly all the remaining inhabitants of t Dundee prepared to leave. The postmaster closed the Telegraph OCace. My own despatch was one of the last landed in. Amongt those who fled from the place was the Hon. Harry Escombe. The flight of the refugees on that memorable night was a most terrible experience. It was pitch dark and heavy rain fell incessantly. People ik-d from the town on horseback and on foot, hardly knowing whither they were going. Some found their way to Rowan's Farm others made for Do Keker's Farm. Both of these arc under the Iuhambane mountains. The poor refugees reached these places as I afterwards learned in the most miserable plight. Both home- steads were crowded, many of the Dundee Town Guards having sought safety there. During the flight some of the riff-raff of the town rifled bandoleros on the way, distributing the loot amongst themselves. At De Keker's Farm some detachments of the Imperial for-es were found bivouacked. Their position was then several miles south of the old camp. About midnight Mr Ridley, the chairman of the Dundee Local Board, arrived at De Keker's Farm with the information that he had seen General Yule, who had strongly advised the refugees to retreat instantly upon Ladysmith as the Boers were all around Dundee. The excitement then gave place to a veritable panic. Hurried consultations were held, and as a result small bands of the flying people commenced the long and weary tramp towards Ladysmith, walking right throughout the night drenched to the skin by the torrents of rain. Altogether, as I learned, there were about 300 Dundee refugees in this retreat, among them several women and children. The picture as described to me was a most heartrending one, and the difficulties of the journey terrible in the extreme. They formed a long travelling line, plodding hour after hour over the sodden veldt. A few stopped on their journey at the foot of the Inhambane Mountains, passing the night in a Kaffir kraal. Others made their way round the Iuhambane Mountains to Umsinga. thence travelling to Greytown and Pietermuritzburg. The whereabouts of the others I have not yet learned, but so long as memory lives the awful experiences of that memorable night will not be forgotten by the folk who took part in it. As for myself I remained at Dundee. A few shells were thrown at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening without accomplishing much. On Monday morning the few inhabitants who believed that the British forces would still be found in the neighbourhood were startled to find the evident fact that the column had retired during the night from the neighbourhood of Dundee, whilst it was made perfectly clear th■»t they were falling back quickly upon Ladysmith. The equanimity of the few who had held on to the last was now en- tirely gone, and they made rapid preparations for flight. By this time the Boers were seen swarming up the surrounding hills. They were in great force on Smith's Hill, from whence they had been driven by our gallant fellows on Friday. The enemy opened fire ag?iu from the Impati, one shell striking amongst the hospital tents, which were still left standing upon the site of the old camp. Thereupon a small party was sent from the hospital with a dag of truce to the Boer position informing the eommandant that they were shelling the hospital which contained their own and our wounded. The commandant, who happened to be Erasmus, expressed his regret, and immediately gave orders that fire should cease. He said in extenuation that he had mistaken the Indian hospital attendants for soldiers. About 10 o'clock a small party of Boers entered Dundee. These were almost immediately afterwards followed by a large number of others, all mounted and armed. A riotous scene followed, the burghers shouting, yelling and running through the streets, com- mandeering every horse they culld find. Soon afterwards a more diciplined contingent arrived carrying the Transvaal ensign, with which they proceeded to the Court House, taking possession of the building and planting the Transvaal flag outide the door. Dundee was now taken and in the hands of the cn^my. The Boers informed the few inquiring residents that they would do nu harm ¡ to anyone. They had taken possession of the town and needed provisions badly. It was not long, then, before the Burghers got entirely out of hand, aod wholesale looting commenced. Most of the stores in the town were broken open, and the contents were either appropriated, scattered about, or handed to onlookers with impartiality, irrespec- tive of nationality. The scene was a most extra- ordinary and humiliating one to the British onlookers, but the Boers evidently enj oyed them- selves hugely. Man after man of them were sent right off with all manner and style of objects attached to his saddle or held in his arms. Amongst other things taken in this way I saw bags of biscuits, ladies' clothing, drapery, and parasols, while every man seemed to think it incumbent upon himself to have a bottle of liquor slung on either side of his saddle. The most interesting incident in the way of loot was a Boer, who, after loading his pony with every conceivable kind of plunder, en- deavoured to pack a bicycle in front of him. He succeeded in doing it. AU Monday attern on Boers came and went—came in empty and went out full. Some of my old acquaintances were amongst them, and they recognised me as a former enemy. I w,.s taken as a prisoner towards their camp, but loot on the road ani-I or in their bott.les were too strong fur them and I easily slipped away. I wanted still to see the whole tiling through, and went back to Dundee. The enemy had mostly retired from the town in the evening, but a decent set of fellows remained, nearly all the looting haviag been done by the Boers, who had got out of hand and came in with the sole object of plunder. No exception could be taken to the behaviour of the Boers, who formed the town guard in Dun.loo. No one was molested. Indeed, for that matter, so far as I could learn, only stores were pillaged. In the evening our spirits were further damaged by the knowledge that General Symons had succumbed to his wound, and was now lying dead in the camp hospital. He passed away about 5 in the afternoon, dying as a soldier should. He had fought a good fight and we all regarded him as what a British officer shou'd be. We buried him on Tuesday in the Cemetery attached to the English Church at 10 in the morning. There was no colfiu. His body was simply enshrouded in thn Union Jack, the emblem for which he fought so gallantly. There had been a short burial service in the English church half an hour previously, wMeh was attended by only a handful of us. The sceue was impressive to a degree. Meantime the Boers had made some semblance of governing the town. Thoy appointed a town guard and patrols moved round continually. A proclam- attion was issued promising safety to the well con- ducted and ot-deriii, all the inhabitants to be indoors by eight o does at niht. The tÎrst duty was to deal with some Kaffir coolies who had been arrested on the previous day for looting. Whatever was permissible to the white man was certaiul" v Jlot allowable for tne Kaffir, and, accordingly," Boer justice was meted out to them. The Boer com- mander had been by no means idle.. He blew uo the railway bridge close to the old British camp by dynamite..Scouts were sent off to Lucas Mover informing him of the turn events had taken, and" in response theret) he brought the men who had been so thrashed on Friday back to Dundee to reinforce the commando under Erasmus. The Boers on the Tuesday afternoon again came into the town in large numbers. They secured much more liquor, and under its influence became excited and quarrelsome. They started parading the streets in batches, singing derisively Soldiers of the Queen." Having witnessed the occupation of the town, and seeing no further good now in remaining, I started with two friends, MrDundas Simpson and Mr David Croombie Grieg, to seek more congenial surroundings, but this was much more easily conceived than carried out. We were stopped on attempting to leave the town, and told that we could not depart by any road with- out first securing a permit from the field cornet in command of Dundee. This official was at Blesbok Laagte, a place about five miles from Dundee on the Helpmakaar road, the Boer officer who was chief of General Botha's staff, stated that he had imperative orders to permit no one to leave without a permit from Lucas Meyer, and said it would be useless to endeavour to see Meyer on that day. Thereupon we returned to Dundee. About one hour after our return to the town a field cornet, with six armed Boers, came and arrested one of my companions and myself on a charge of being spies. He announced his intention of taking us before the general. Our journey thither was a most remarkable experience, and a tremendous thunderstorm prevailed. We had to drive sometimes to walk over rough ground a dis- tance of six miles. During that time we had constant attention from crowds of the enemy, who were most abusive and threatening. The Boers in charge of us looked upon us as a nuisance, and cursed us for fools. Some more prisoners joined our party. On the journey our guard openly discussed the policy of fliooting rather than taking us any farther. Their tempers were not improved when it was found that Meyer had removed his quarters six miles away, and we went on amid bitter and coarse abuse. There my complaint ends. When we found General Meyer he treated us with courtesy. He satisfied himself that our explanations were genuine. He identified Simpson personally, and though he looked at me keenly he did not reopen old sores nor ask any questions that would have discovered my indentity and connection with former Transvaal troubles. We all sat on the top of a large boulder, and he wrote out the necessary permit that made us practically free men. The whole proceeding was carried out amidst drenching rain. The accompanying Boers who observed General Meyer's attitude towards us immediately changed their own demeanour. The Boer commander mad e the permit available until Thursday, by which time, he said, the Kalpmakaar road would be clear. On Wednesday we made our arrangements for departure, and en Thursday left Dundee, reaching Umsinga on the road to Ladysmith in the afternoon. There we found the telegraph office open and ourselves able to communicatc with the outside world. We met with a few Boers on the journey, but our permit was respected. Indeed we were only called upon to show it once. One definite fact I ascertained at the Boer camp, and that was that many of the burghers were becoming tired of the campaign and were returning home. It was not what they expected. There were no Boers at flelpiii ikair. The place was deserted. The women and children had left for Umsinga. Mr Joseph Dunn the writer of the foregoing graphic description of events following General Yule's retirement, is the correspondent who got through the first news of the victory of Glencoe. It was the first big battle of the war. Mr Dunn is a Scotsman, who was in the Rhodesian Horse in the early days of the Chartered Company, and then accompanied Dr. Jameson's raid. He was then a prisoner in Pretoria. His acquaintance with Boer tactics led Mr Dunn to stay at Glencoe last week, when all the other correspondents were at Ladysmith, and thus to beat his rivals. Since that day he has sent graphic details of the British movement.

LAIOYSMITH GAUT IN. ENEMY'S GUXS BETTER THAN OURS. SIR GEORGE WHITE HAS TO ATTACK. HEAVY BRITISH LOSSES. The following despatch was issued by the War Office shortly afcer 8 ou Monday evening:- From General Sir George White to the Secre- tary for War (received October 30th, 6.15 pill). Ladysmith, October 30th, at 4.30. r employed all the troops here to-day except an obligatory garrison from the works. I sent lu Mountain Battery, with the [oyd Irish Fusiliers and the Gloucestershire Regiment, to take up a position on the hills to clear my left flank. The force moved at 11 p.m. last night, and during some night firing the battery mules stam- peded with some of the guns, which, however, I hope to recover. "The two battalions have not yet returned, but are expected this evening. I detailed two brigade divisions Royal Field Artillery and five battalions infantry, aided by the cavalry, under General French, to attack a position on which the enemy had yesterday mounted guns. We found this position evacuated, but our force was attacked with considerable vigour by what T believe were General Joubert's troops. "They had many guns and showed in great numbers. Our troops were all in action, and we pushed the enemy back for several miles, but did not succeed in reaching his laager. Our losses are estimated at between SO and 100, but that of the enemy must have been much greater. the fire of our guns appearing very effective. After being in action several hours I withdrew the troops, and returned unmolested to the canton- ments. "The enemy are in great numbers, and their guns range further than our field guns. I now have some naval guns, which have tem- porarily silenced, and I hope will permanently dominate, the enemy's best guns, with which he has been bombarding the town at a range of over (5,000 yards."

AniarScasi Opinion. TRIBUTE TO BRITISH BRAVERY. FRATERNAL PRrDE AT WASHINGTON. NEW YOEK, Oct. 28. A Washiugtou telegram to the Journal says "The position of the United States is described authoritatively to be as foli,,ws: -Tiif,, United States will not participate in any effort to bring about mediation. It will not participate in any note of interrogation regarding Great Britain's ultimate in- tentions. It will regard European intervention as a menace to the well-being of all nations, and as likely to disturb general commercial relations. It believes that intervention would lead to a conflict of the nations, thus involving all questions of national supremacy, disturbing the balance of power, and raising the Chinese question, in which the United States has important interests. It wdl not consent to any change in the existing conditions of China without consultation, and will stand at the gateway of China as a matter of national duty to preserve the status quo there. It cannot be indifferent to any demonstration of interference in South Africa by a nation not directly involved in the Transvaal war." WASHINGTON, October 27. Mr Breckinriige, a former American Minister to Russia, said in a speech this afternoon that what now concerned America was the possible attempt of one or more of the European Powers to make the present ernbarassment of England in South Africa the occasion for au assault on the integrity of the British Empire. la that event the supreme interests of America would justify, if not actually require, that by speaking loudly in the good American way the country should give an assurance at the first scent of danger of where it would stand. N'EW YOltK, October 27. Many of the newspapers pay high tribute to the bravery of the British officers and men engaged in the Transvaal campaign. The Washing-ou Post," in its leading editorial, says NVe take a fraternal priue in the personal gallantry cf the British Army, and especially in the aim lantastic dating of the f^ritisli officers, who are ■ 1 ly repeating the exploits of English chivalry in the world— of centuries ago. They are doing in Africa what their forefathers did at Acre, Ascalon, Fontenoy, Balaklava, and on a thousand fields made glorious by the splendour of English bravery. From them King Arthur stiil survives, and Galahad and Lancelot are living entities. The Templars are their models. As branches of that magnificent stock we arc proud of them. No race has ever produced their equals in the fearlessness and splendour of their bravery." The Philadelphia Record," which is the only paper in the United States owned and conducted by the National Government, for it belongs to the Treasury Department, publishes an outspoken editorial on the-community of English and American interests were England threatened by a European combination. The "Record" says: "The presence at Manila of our most powerful vessels, which are useless against the Filipinos, in- dicates that it is our purpose to protect our interests in that quarter by force if necessary. These interests are similar to those of Great Britain, and are becoming practically one with them. If we nre menaced by Germany, France, or Russia, we will maintain in Asiatic waters a fleet which, with that of Great Britain, will excel the fleets of Germany, France, and Russia combined. These fleets will back the demands of the United States and Great I Britain for the maintenance of commerce in the Far Last.

Thomas) wrote recom- mending that the sum ot £ 27 liSs. be paid to Air Thomas for the work of painting the outside of the House. The work had been very well done. He also recommended that the inside of the House be painted, as it was very much needed. Mr John said the matter had been before the House Committee, and they had decided that the work should be done. THE TRAMP WARDS. Mr John said they had not yet started to use their tramp wards on account of the stone not being ready for them to break. The contractor (Mr Davies) had not supplied them, and ha moved i that they employ Mr Warlow to cart twelve loads of stone to the House, in order that they could start using the wards at once. The tramps were already getting less, and when they opened the wards no doubt they would be fewer in num- ber. The Board accepted the resolution, the Chair- man remarking that it would not pay. "tir John That was said about the wood. The Chairman But we had never tried wood before, and we do know what stone is. WHO IS TO BLAME ? Mr John called the attention of the Board to I the fact that two of the pillars for tlie new tramp wards were unsatisfactory, and had sunk in the ground. The Chairman, Mr Eaton Evans, Mr J. LI. Davies, and Mr J. George considered the architect and builder were responsible for this, as it was new work. Finally, it was resolved to leave the matter in the hands of the House Committee, who should approach the architect on the matter, and require him to make good the work for which he had given his certificate. Mr George remarked that it would be cheaper for them to engage a handy-man at the House to do little repairs, &e., than be continually paying other people for those things.

Love T¡lIag3dy at EarPs CU[.I Lc?eT?s?e? a? Ea?g  FRENCH COM KDIAN AND ITALIAN j HARPIST. ATTEMPTED MURINE Li AND SUICIDE. Shortly after one o'clock on Sunday morning a singular Jove tragedy occurred at Earl's Court-road, the central figures being a young Frenchman, named (George ilosteau, 21, a comedian, and a young Italiau lady, Miss P. Cairozz!, aged 19 years, a harpist engaged at the Queen's Ilall, Langham- place, and living wkh her mother and another lady at 112, Earl's Court Itoad, W. Hosteau had no settled residence in this country, but he is well-known in musical circles in Paris. Recently, it is stated, he has become infatuated with Miss Cairozzi, but it appears that she had not appre- ciated his overtures. Early on Sunday morning: Hosteau was waiting oil the door-step of the house adjoining Miss Cairozzi's residence, when she came to the door, presumably in answer to a knock, which Hoeteau had given. He immediately, it is said, pulled out a live-chambered revolver from his pocket and fired twice at her. 0ne of the shots struck her in the left check, just under the cheek bono, enter- ing inwards and upwards. She collapsed on to the stone steps. A detective officer and a uniform con- stable were on duty not far away from the scene of the tragedy, and they had their attention drawn to the pistol reports, but before they could reach the house Hosteau had turned the revolver on to him- self, failing dead, shot through the temple. i Medical aid was at once summoned. rllsS Cnirozzi was found to be still alive, and site was removed on a police ambulance to the hospital, where it was re- ported on Sunday night that the bullet had not been located, but the house surgeon entertains the hope that, although the wound is serious, it may not prove fatal. Madame Cairozzi, who is devotedly attached to her daughter, has been in attendance upon her ever since. JIdlle. Cairozzi is an Italian very highly connected, her father being all officer in the Italian Array, and her brother occupying an important position under the Government. She is a musical enthusiast, and was solo harpist at Queen's Hall.
