War in South Africa.

Conflicting Reports Received of EnToking and Vrybure Bald to Have Surrendered- -KimberJoy Burrounded. Reports of engagements between the Boers and English in South Africa have been received daily since Friday, but the wires are down and all reporte lack conArmation, The first story received stated that the Boers had blown up an armored train, killing 15 British soldiers, but this statement: has since been denied. The Boers have undoubtedly attacked Mafeking. One report has been received that the water supply has been out off, and another that the city 'has surrendered. The London Mail had a despatch yesterday saying Vryburg had surrendered.

It is known that the Boers have surrounded Kimberley, where the greatest diamond mines in the world are located and where the British have force of 3000 men. Cecil Rhodes, ex premier of Cape Colony, is supposed to be shut up in Kimberley, and the Boers are said to have offered $25,000 for him, dead or alive. despatch received in London from Cape Town Tuesday stated that 300 Boers and 18 British have been killed in a battle at Mafeking, Col. Baden -Powell made a sortie from Mafeking in force and attacked the Boers, who were investing the town, After fierce fighting the British carried the day. From Colesburg came persistent reiterations of the report that the Boers have attacked Mafeking, being thrice repulsed with heavy losses.

From other towns on the border similar reporta are redived. Refugees who arrived Tuesday at Lorenzo Marquez, Portuguese East Africa, from the Transvaal reported that the Boers had been repulsed at Mateking, sustaining heavy losses. Several other reports were received in regard to fighting near Mateking but their is questioned. A despatch from Kimberley, dated Monday, says that an armored train while reconnoitering near Spytfontein engaged the Boors, killing five and wounding seven. The British had no losses.

The armored train, with a detachment of the Lancashires, approached unmolested until within range, when the Boers opened fire. The Maxims were instantly set to work and did great execution among the burghers. The latter also used artillery, but ineffectively. The armored train returned to Kimberley unharmed. The crew of the armored train said the Boers fired 18 shella, but not single shot struck: the train.

The Orange Free State burghers are opparently threatening to invade Cape ColNorth, both of which are at their mercy, if ony, by way of Norvals Pont and Aliwal they possess artillery. Solar as is known, the only British force stationed at Aliwal North is a detachment of the Royal Berkshire regiment. Passengers arriving from Johannesburg Monday were forced to leave the train north of Norvals Pont and to make detour through the veldt, under cort, joining the train farther south. This is understood to be due to the fact that the Boors have undermined the line. It was reported Wedneeday that the Boars were massing their forces in Natal colony, and that a battle was in progress in the neighborhood of Ladysmith.

The siege of Mateking continues, and the report that white flag has been displayed indicates that the place may have surrendered to forces.
