London, Nov. 2S.-The Associated
press learns that the action of Lord
Pauncefote and other British ambassa-
dors in notifying the powers that state
of war has existed since October IL be-
tween Great Britain and the South Afri-
can republics, has prompted inquiries by
the various London embassies regarding
the nature of the hostilities.
The Associated press is officially in
formed that the notification has In no
wise changed the British views as to the
Boer status. But in spite of the ambig-
uous references in the Queens speech
and other official documents at the COM
mencement of the war regarding mill
tary operations and other evasions Of
the usual term war" it appears that
the United States has consistently recog-
nized the Beers as forming practically an
independent state, considering the
claim of British suzerainty too
slight thread to put them i'll the light
of rebels. 1t is tacitly admitted by the
British officials that the usual communi-
cations relative to Il state of war" were
not made earlier, because it was not
thought that victory would be deferred
long enough to make such diplomatic
step necessary. The government main
tains that giving the Beers belligerent
rights does not constitute an acknowledg-
ment OF their claim to independence, evil
denclng aS proof of this contention, that
both foreign governments and the gov
ernment OF the United States treated the
Confederates as belligerents.
