BY THE BOERS
Report That Move Was Mads to Bor¬
der Was Erroneous.
WAR FEELING IS INTENSE
English Reinforcements Con¬
tinue to Arrive In Transvaal.
A London special of Thursday was
to the effect that nothing important
developed as to the Transvaal situation
during the day. The Daily Telegraph’s
di spatch announcing that the Boers had
invaded Natal and seized Laings Nek,
now seems to be without foundation.
The government has received noth-
ing to justify the report, although
such a move on the part of the Boers
would naturally causo little surprise.
The British position in Natal was
considerably strengthened by the ar¬
rival Thursday of Indian transports
with reinforcements of about 2,500
infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of
which will be promptly sent to the
front by train, and with their arrival
at Gleuoovo and Ladysmith, the Brit-
ish advanced camps and lines of com-
muaication will be practically safe¬
guarded against the risk of a success¬
ful dash across the frontier by the
Boers.

OPiNION flADE FOtfCiJ.
Finding of Attorney General In the
Carter Case Glven.Out.
The opinion of Attorney General
Griggs in the case of Captain Oberliu
M. Carter, of the army, upon which
the president approves the finding of
the courtmartial, was made public at
Washington Thursday. minor
After dismissing certain of the
charges as unproven, the attorney gen-
eral took up the more serious questions
involved,first considering the objection
that the charges npon which Captain
Carter was found guilty were 1 incon¬
gruous. He says that, unlike the or¬
dinary criminal procedure, the mili¬
tary usages and procedure permit of
an indefinite number of offenses in
one and the same proceeding.
“It is not necessary,” he says, “to
discuss whether this practice is wise,
or whether it is prejndi*i al in the
rights of the accused. It appears to
be established by long continued prac¬
tice, and, so far as I am able on in-
vestigation to discover, without pre-
vious challenge.” well
But even if this objection were
founded, the attorney general says, he
does not think the accused should be
allowed to avail himself of the objec-
tion now, beeause he proceeded to
trial without objection to this alleged
misjoinder, and permitted the court of the to
enter on the investigation of all
different specifications, and himself
brought forward his defense as to
each of them. The objection should
have been promptly taken to be made
available.

FIGHT WAS SANGUINARY
Twelve Americans Wounded;
Rebel Loss Is Unknown.
Advices from Noveletn, Island of
Luzon, dated Ootober 8 , states that
General Sohwan’s column, consisting
of the Thirteenth infantry, a battalion
of the Fourteenth, two troops of cav¬
alry, Captain Reilley’s battery of the
Fifth artillery arid Lowe’s soouts, ad-
and occupied Cavite Viejo aud Nov-
elela.
The American Iosb was three offi¬
cers and nine privates wounded, one
of the officers being mortally hurt.
The loss of the enemy is unknown,
but the bodies of three Filipinos were
seen.
There were tw’o sharp fights near
Noveleta. Lowe’s Scouts first encoun¬
tered the enemy near Cavite Viejo aud
soon put them to flight, continuing

Captain Saffold battalion of the Thir¬
teenth regiment, with two companies
of the Fourteenth and a number of
Tagalo scouts, came upon the enemy
in a strongly intrenched position on
the road between Cavite Niejo and
Noveletn. A fight lasting half an hour
followed, resulting iu tho euemy’s be¬
ing driven back.
The American foices sustained con¬
siderable! losses in this engagement,
the men beiDg shot from trenches and
shacks along the road.
The columns then pressed on to
Novelets, which they found deserted.
The mnnnes aud naval forces co-op¬
erated with the troop*. The gunboats
Wheeling, Petrel and Callao lay off
the shore near Novelota and threw
shells into that town and Banta Crna
for an hour, preparing the way for the
marines to land.
DOUTHfT STILL OUT.
Carolinf Board of Control Would Not
Reconsider Action.
A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says:
Thursday morning the state board of
control upon assembling took up tha
Douthit case, and voted do^n a reso¬
lution by Mr. Williams looking to a
further hearing for Mr. Douthit. The
division of the members was the same.
As soon as the official notice of
removal is served on Mr. Douthit hia
attorneys will serve a paper on the
board setting forth that Mr. Douthit
declines to vacate the office until
“legally removed ”
This will doubtless ca«se the whole
matter to be aired in the courts.
