Press Censor at Capetown. London, Nov. 12. Complete silence has again fallen upon affairs in South Africa. The British public must perforce per-force be content with the brief, stereotyped stereo-typed report which the censor allows to filter through from Cape Town. That this condition of affairs "is no longer due to pressure of work or defective de-fective cables has been amply proved. The Eastern Telegraph company reckons that the real delay in transmission transmis-sion is about two days. It is evident, therefore, that the Censorship is responsible respon-sible for the other two days of delay which seems to befall all the dispatches. dis-patches. Moreover, the Daily Telegraph announces an-nounces that its "inappropriated" dispatch dis-patch from Ladysmith, dated Monday, which the war office published on Tuesday, Tues-day, was not delivered in Fleet street until yesterday morning. It is believed be-lieved that the war office received fur. ther dispatches last evening, but nothing noth-ing has been published.
