They Capture Patcneffstr0n and Direct.
~ After Sign an ArnaasCtce.

New CASTLE, March 29.-A messenger
from Patcheffstrom reports that the place
surrendered to-day. Peace was signed after
hard fighting, in which IS British soldiers
were killed and 80 wounded. The Beers
captured 5000 pounds of ammunition and
two guns.
LONDON, March 29.-The report Of the
surrender OF the Pacheffstrom is confirmed.
The provisions sent under conditions of an
armistice, reached there "a hours after the
surrender.
Boer messengers state after the surrender
Of Patchefstrom the Victors reinforced the
besiegers of Pretoria, and the joint force,
with two captured guns, repulsed a sortie by
the Pretoria garrison and drove them into the
fort, inhicting much loss.
LONDON, April 1.-The first attack on the
governments policy in Transvaal was made
by Lord Cairnes, a conservative in the House
of Lords last night. He alluded to the an
nouncement in the Queens speech at the
opening Of Parliament, that the authority Of

Transvaal, and he asked whether the authori-
ty Of the crown had been INDICATED at all.
He entertained grave doubts that in thus sur
rendering territory the prerogative Of the
crown had not been stained. He emphati-
cally protested against sending a hundred
thousand British subjects back to as bad a
system of slavery as existed in the world. He
argued that we had no security that the Beers
would accept the decision Of the royal COM
mission, and asked how we were to enforce
them it the Beers did o accept them when
our reinforcements quilted the country, as by
the terms of peace ammunition is not to be
supplied to the garrison in Transvaal. They
would be merely hostages in the hands of the
Beers. Lord Cairns concluded by a general
denunciation Of the terms Of peace in a pero-
ration Of striking eloquence, which elected
an outburst OF cheering.
Lord Kimberly, Colonial Secretary, replied
that there could be no doubt if the war had
continued, the greater part of South Africa
would have been involved in it.

bonds, the belief being that by rsserVing a
short time option Of payment the government
will be able to discharge the bulk of its fund
ed Indebtedness within q comparatively brief
period by means Of the constantly accumulat-
ing surplus revenues. It is, therefore, highly
probable that Secretary Window will con-
clude to issue 4 per cents, and that with
these and q portion of the present surplus in
the treasury, all the maturing 6 per cents will
be taken up.
