4.30 A. M. No news has boon received from South Africa save the announcement of the arrival of transports, unless a despatch from Mafeking, rlated Oct. 31 and forwarded by a runner, can be so termed. This says that during the afternoon Gen.

Cronje, the Boer commander, sent an envoy to Col. Baden-Powell under a Hag of truce to declare that he did not consider the Geneva Convention authorized the flat' the Red Cross Society to fly oni several buildings at once in the town, and that, in his opinion, the employment of natives ne'alnst whiles and the "use oS dynamite mines were both opposed to the rules of war. Col. Baden-Powell replied that the Geneva Convention did not stipulate as to the number of Red Cross stations permissible, and that the, Boors were onQy required to respect the convent, the hospital and the women's la.aKor, all of which were beyond the town limits. IMHn.es, ho said, were rocognlzoil adjuncts of civilized warfare and that the defenses of Pretoria were, extensively mined.

Moreover, ho reminded Gen. Cronjo that tho Boors luul fired tinun Watives, burned their IcriuUs and raided their cattle, and that the natives only defended their lives ami property. Despite three warnings from Col. 33aden-Powell the despatch continues, the Boers continued deliberately to shell the hospital and the women's laager. The sending: of the Boer envoy was regarded as a mere pretext for pcnctr.it- Fng- the British lines at Mafeking.
