SITUATION IMPROVED.

Great Uneasiness, However, Still Prevails
in Frankfort,
FRANKFORT, Ky., March 1S.-The SIT
uation in Frankfort shows a radical i'm
provement from that of "a hours ago.
Public excitement, worked up to the
highest pitch by the arrests of Secre.
tary of State Powers, Captain Davis
and the others accused of completely in
the assassination of Governor .Goebel,
and by rumors among the Republicans
that the hastily organized militia of
Governor Beckham was to attempt to
take possession Of the state buildings OF
arrest Governor Taylor, and among the
Democrats that the state militia would
attempt to arrest Governor Beckham,
died away almost entirely when it be-
came evident that neither side had any
intention Of initiating hostilties. New
ertheless great uneasiness still exists,
especially among the Republicans.

terday was occupied in fighting. The
Beers maintained stubborn rear guard
action along q running front Of twelve

At Dreifontein, about eight miles

task harder than they had expected.
General Broadwood, with dogged per-
severance, moved altogether six miles

get round, but the Beers followed be-
hind rising ground and even attempted
to outflank him.
Meanwhile the Sixth division Of in
fantry, advancing on the Boer left,
slowly forced the enemy to retire. Had
the infantry been able to move faster
the Beers would have been enveloped.
The last shot was fred at 7:80 p. m.

reason to believe the United States gov.

store peace between Great Britain and

not taken the shape Of an offer Of medi-
alton. That would be distinctly re-
pugnant to Great Britain, and accord
ing to the rule of international law,
which has without exception governed

not be volunteered by us until it was
known to be acceptable to both parties
to the war. >- -s.~~...
But the United States might very
properly serve as an intermediary to
transmit an appeal for peace, and the
The United States successfully served
in this capacity in the past, notably in
the termination of the China-Japanese
war, and it is believed it's good Offices
in this line are now being extended.
If this belief is well founded, then Adel-
bert Hay, United States consul to Pre-
