1.-The administration yesterday for the
first time came out openly In favor OF
army liquor selling on its merits Hitherto
the plea has been that the administration
could not suppress canteens because the
law of congress was ambiguous This
attitude has now been abandoned and the
secretary OF war, whose acts and words
the courts declare are to be taken as,
those of the president. has come out in
open advocacy of liquor selling canteens.
General Corbln. in declaring that pro-
addition cannot be made effective in tho
army forgets the success of railroads In
securing abstinence and his reference to
the benefits of canteens in Manila is par
ticularly unfortunate for his case, I'm view

KRUGER ASKS FOR PEACE
London Times Publishes tho Story
Very Prominently.

London. May H.-3:l0 a. m.-Displayed In
the most conspicuous style in The Daily
Express is the dominant war news of the
morning:
1--WE have the best reason for stat
ing that In the last twenty-four
hours a telegram has been received at
the foreign office, addressed person
ally to the prime minister, from
President Kruger, proposing terms of
peace. The exact terms of the mes
sage cannot be stated, but we believe
it is couched in an exceedingly hum
BILE strain"
1t is inconceivab.e. OF course. that Lord
Salisbury can have sent any reply except
the one that stands ready on the lip OF
every Briton-unconditional surrender.
The situation I'm the field has changed
but little since Friday. Lord Roberts's
troops are in fine form and abundantly
supplied. Indications seem to point to
an early movement His cavalry, riding
over several hundred square miles in n
semi-circle beyond Kroonstad, have re-
ceived the submission of hundreds of
Free Staters.
II now appears that the Dewet who
offered to surrender with 900 men was
not the well-known General Dewet, but
Commandant Dewet He stipulated that
his men should be allowed to return TO
their farms. Lord Roberts replied that
the surrender must be unconditional
The BOtha who was captured the other
day was Philip Botha. Those surrender
ing are solemnly warned that II they
break the oath of neutrality their houses
Will be burned and their farms confis-
Gated.
