THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The United States. government
through its representatives in London
offered the British government to sc'
as mediator for the restoration of peace
10 South Africa, and transmitted TIE
communications of Presidents Kruger
and SteyD. Prime Minister Salisbury
courteously received the represents.
tiOns, but declined the offer, on the
ground that Great Britain was not pre-
pared to assent to the independence
either of the South African Republic OF
the Orange Free State.
The offer of President Mckinley YVES
presented by Mr.. Henry White, charge
d'affaires of the United States at LoL
don, 10 the absence OF Ambassador
Ohoate, who is at Cannes, France. A
London csblegram states that Mr.
White, besides presenting as inter
mediary the proposition of Presidents
Kruger and Steyn, gave an assurance
that any thing the Uni ed States could
do In the interest of peace would he
gladly undertaken. This is the ofler
which Lord Salisbury declined.
A Washington dispatch states that
the action of Mr.. White may pave the
way for further efforts. As to the atti-
tude Of the other powers, Russia and
Frsnce are declared to be waiting q f. :
vorsble opportunity, but consider the
present an inopportune time to act.
Germany is willing to act only 10 case
that both belligerents desire it. French
hostility toward England hos been in.
tensfed by the decision to send General
Cropje to st. Helena, thus recalling
memories OF the frat Napoleon's fate.
Great Britain, according to the vie"
expressed in Government circles 81
London, intends to fight the war to g
finish and will not deal with the BOers
through any third party. This view is
strongly endorsed by the war party in
England.
General Brabant, with q column o.
British troops, has crossed the Orang
river at Allwal North, entering Free
State territory. General BraDant'r
forces attacked and drove back the
Beers from near Allewal.
General J0ubert is at Glencoe. The
main body of the Boer army in Natal lie
at Biggarsberg,
Trouble is brewing between the chiefs
10 Zlluland, which the Beers are trying

lief of that place and continue to give

Osski YukiO introduced q bill making

of justice for bribery and corruption.
The House killed the bill. 1t is stated
that Koyama Kinnosuke still sits in
the House, though he has openly ad.
mitted that he received brides and has
brought law suit to recover q claim
growing out of q corrupt transaction.
A member of the privy council declares
that every bill introduced at the last

allies to ask what price the government

London War Gossip.

London, March 14.-News of the fall
of Bloemfontein is expected here hour
ly. Possibly General Roberts capture
OF the capital is delayed by plan to
flank the Beers, cut of their communi.
cation northwsrd, and thus bag the de.
Tending force with the town.
The correspondence between Sails
bury and the Boer presidents, which was
made public yesterday, Is the chief topic
discussed today. Some say that the
Beers now see the hopelessness OF their
struggle, inasmuch as Epglsnd's declara-
ton disregarding their desire for indie
pendence comes almost simultaneously
With the powers, tscit admission thai
Eogland can have her way. On the
other hand, most diplomatists believe
that the Boer presidents will fight the
war TO q finish, conscious that their
peace overiures and England's reply
have strengthened their cause both
abroad and among their own people.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAR, IA, 1900

THIS GOVERNMENT, so it said yes
terday, did not offer to act as medi
ator between the belligerents 10
South Africa, but only forwarded to
the British government the peace pro-
possls made to that government by
the Beers. As was expected, notwith-
standing the alleged alliance OF this
country and Great Britain, the pro-
posals were rejected. but. what is lit
tie strange, the manner In which they
were rejected evinced scant courtesy
for this government, by which they
were presented. Great Britain. 1t is re-
membered, was one OF the nations rep
resented at last summers famous, but
ridiculous peace conference at The
Hague. II the planets be iohabited'
