NO NEW CASES IN HAWAII.
Property Destroyed in Stamping Out
BubOnic Plague.

San Francisco, March 13.-The steamer
Gaelic, from the orient via Honolulu,
brings the following advices from Homo
lulu under date of March 5:
mo new cases of plague have developed
for three days. One new case has been
reported from Mahului, Maui. The sit
uation in this city is better than it has
been for a month.
THE big Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company's store at Kahului, con :
tanning $l25,000 worth of merchandise be-
sides a large amount of lime fertilizers
and cement, together with all the ware
houses at Kahului appertaining to it are
under guard, awaiting the determination
Of the health authorities whether IL shall
be burned or not. All the employees and
their families are in quarantine. This
has been done aus the result of finding
plague-infected rats In and about the
warehouse and the presence of large
numbers of rats there
AT a meeting of the presidents of the
various insurance companies and their at
torneys. ii was decided not to pay losses
on buildings destroyed by the civil au-
thoriues, In an effort 20 stamp out the
plague. This action on the part of the in
surance companies will result in many
claims being made against the govern
ment for losses sustained in the fires"

SITUATION AT MAFEKING.

London, March H,-Lady Sarah Wilson
wires to the Daily Mail from Mafeking
under date of March g. by native runner
to Lobatsi March 9, as follows:
"On Saturday March 8, the Beers furi-
ously bombarded the brick fields and
trenches about a mile from the town for
three hours, killing one and woudng two
colonials
"On Monday, March 5. they made de-
termined attack. Owing. to misunder-
standing the colonials evacuated the fore
most trench. This the Beers Occupied, but
reserves were called up and the trench
was recaptured with a rush. We had no
casualties.
The Beers continue Very active and 1t

SEVEBEsT FLOOD IN YEARS.
plinOis and DesplRincs Rivers Al
most Overlooking.

Chicago, March 1S.-The most serious
flood in years is raging in the Illinois
river The Desplaines river Is almost
ready TO leave its banks, hundreds of
farms down the valley are inundated,
aud a number OF canal officials in Chicago
were deluged to-day with telegrams of
complaint that the trouble Is due to the
drainage canal.
The sudden thawng of vast quantities
Of snow has flled the tributaries OF the
Illinois and the Desplaines river At Riv-
erside tonight the water was within a
few Inches OF the top of the spillway ana
was rising steadily. Within twenty-four
hours the streams have risen ten feet
above normal and rushed in a torrent to-
ward the drainage channel.
Chief Engineer Randolph of the drain
age canal this afternoon, as a precautiOn-
airy measure, raised the bear trap dam az
Lockport and reduced the flow through the
controlling works $4,000 cubic feet "A min-
ute. This is the first time 1t has been
found necessary to check the flow at the
controlling works because of floods.

NO ANSWER FROM ENGLAND.
She Has Not Replied 20 the Request
for Peace Terms.

Washington, March 1S.-Up to the time
the cabinet meeting adjourned to-day no
answer had been received from the British
government as to the represent ations
made through Mr.. Choate touching the
restorat ton of peace in South Africa.
In view of this fact it was decided by
the cabinet, upon an explanation of the
case by Secretary Hay that il would not
be proper at present to make any state
ment relative to the part which the United
States government is taking in the effort
to terminate the war.
1t is held that whatever matter is to be
made public touching the peace negoua-
tions must emanate from sne of the prin-
cipals, Great Britain or the South African
republics, and the United States being
nothing more than an Intermediary is not
justified in betraying the secrets of the
principals.
1t is stated again on the highest author
ity, that in its present capacity the Unit
ed States government is not mediator
but is simply "go-between."
Not single proposition to serve as
basis of a peace agreement between Great
Britain and the Boer republics was set
out in the communication to Lord Sails
bury All that was ventured in this first
overture was an inquiry as to what Great
Britain was likely to demand as the price
of stopping the war. To have gone fur
the and have proposed terms on our
account might have placed the United
States in the position of an unlimited
mediator
Secretary Hay was almost speechless
from severe cold, and when the cabinet
meeting adjourned he was obliged to so
home and go to bed. If any answer
should be received during the next few
hours, it will, therefore, probably be dealt
with directly by the President.
There is belief in some quarters here,
founded on our own history that the
British reply to this overture will be
polite reference of Presidents Kruger and
Steyn to Lord Roberts as a person fully
authorized TO make known to them the
terms upon which the British government
is willing 10 cease hostilities. In such case
the first answer of Lord Roberts is eX
pected to be unconditional surrender"
That however, does not signify in the
opinion of the officials here that other
terms cannot be made
While it is felt that 1t is doubtful
whether or not peace win follow this
movement in which the United States has
taken so prominent a part it at least
makes the initiatory effort TO attain peace
and in a measureable degree makes easier
the way for a further and may be more
successful attempt.
The cabinet also discussed the resolution
of Senator Allen calling for information
as to what steps had been taken to bring
about peace in South Africa 1t was de-
'cided that no. statement on the subject
could be given at present owing to the
fact that the correspondence involved 9TH
er nations.

intervene II would tend TO destroy the
harmony of the continent. Most OF the
Powers have interests in Africa, and their

United States would have nothing 10 gain
except the preservation of the two sister
republics. and no selfish interest could be
imputed"

THE ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.
Cannot Take the Initiative in Offer
ing Mediation.

Paris, March 13.-A representative OF
the Associated Press has secured from a
responsible mouthpiece Of the French gov
ernment the following exposition Of
Frances attitude in the matter Of inter-
vention in the Anglo-TransvaaI war,
which, it is said, has been solicited by
President Kruger. The official In ques-
ton said:
1--WE believe IL IS true the Transvaal

Intervention, though up to this morning
President Kruger's message has not
reached us. AS far as France is con-
cerned, she certainly will not take the in

will Russia, for the dual alliance Is natur-
ally working together In this question.
1--WE feel that in The present excited
state OF public feeling in England. and
especially as regards ourselves, any step
taken by the French government would
defeat its own object and instead Of open-
ing a way to honorable peace would act
as oil on flames and probably create fresh
complications. We consider that overtures
for mediation can emanate from some
Power whose cordial relations with Eng
land prevent such a suggestion being con-
strued as an unfrlendly act
