NO SURPRISE IN FRANCE.


PARIS, March 15.-The occupation of
Bloemfontein caused no surprise here.
Most of the papers had predicted the event;
and they now express the opinion that the
war is about TO enter a stage more rude
than ever. The advanced press is indig-
nant at Great Britain's intention to annex
the South African republics.
The Matin says: THE English are now
going to undertake the siege, not OF forti-
fed town. but of an entire country which
is organized at the present time like
vast intrenched camp"
On the other hand. M. Valfrey, the WE'LL
known political writer OF the Figaro. con-
siders that the issue OF the war is certain
despite the difficulties ahead. Referring to
the declaration OF the British government
on the conditions Of peace he says: "They
far exceed Lord Salisbury's original en-
gagements. AS for the projects OF Ameri-
can or European Intervention. these can
not be taken seriously Indeed. II the SUBJ

has been accomplished with comparatively
he is the hero OF the hour in England.
All the newspapers eulogize him and con-
graduate the country. They talk of the
Free State as having passed out of exist
ence and as now being one of the shadows
Of history.
1t is not doubted that there may yet be
heavy fighting, but the genius Of Lord
Roberts is looked to for victory over all
difficulties. His grim reference to the
'late" President Steyn is understood to
show that there shall be no ambiguity as
to the position assumed toward the re-
publics. The fact that Mr.. Frazer. late
chairman of the Free State Rad, and
leader to the opposition to Mr.. Steyn.
came with the deputation to surrender the
keys. is regarded as extremely significant
OF considerable difference Of opinion
among the Free Staters regarding the war.
1t Is said that President Kruger hates
Mr.. Frazer on account of his sympathy
with the outlanders. The demonstrations
of the Bloemfontein inhabitants also
regarded as a good augury for the future
of the British supremacy.
1t is interesting, in connection with the
rapid advance of Lord Roberts, to learn
that the Russian military attaches with the
Beers, who were captured by the British,
sent the following telegram to the Gar:
II am perfectly amazed at the energy in
action and the endurance Of the British
infantry. / need say no more
There Is still no news as to whether Lord
Roberts has captured any rolling stock. If
he has not, then he will be obliged to wait
until the repairing of the bridges over the
Orange river enables him to bring rolling
stock UP.
The British continue pressing their ad-
vances on the Orange river. The Beers
still hold Bethulie bridge. on the north
side OF the stream, but their trenches are
dominated by the British artillery. Heavy
firing is in progress and there has been
some skrmishing.
Lord Kitchener seems to be very sue
cessful in reducing the extent of the Dutch
rising.

LONDON. March ia dispatch to the
Daily Chronicle, from Bloemfontein, dated
Tuesday evening, says:
"Bloemfontein surrendered at 10 o'clock
to-day. 1t was occupied at noon. President
Steyn, with a majority of the fighting
burghers, has fed northward.
General French was within five miles of
the place at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon.
He sent a summons into the town, threat
a. m. Tuesday. A white flag was hoisted
Tuesday morning and deputation of the
Town Council, with the mayor, came out
to meet Lord Roberts at Spitz kop. five
miles south of the town, making formal
surrender of the place.
Lord Roberts made state entry at
noon. He received a tremendous ovation.
After visiting the public buildings, he went
to the official residence of the President,
followed by a cheering crowd. who waved
the British flag and sang the British na-
uonal anthem. They were in condition of
frenzied excitement.
ION Monday afternoon. previous to the
surrender, there had been a little sniping
and shelling, but the enemy then retired.
Lord Roberts has his headquarters at

BERLIN, March 1.-THE weekly re-
viewer Uf the Kreuz Zeitung, who is a
well-known professor, and entertains close
relations with Count Won Buelow, asserts
to-day that Emperor Nicholas. at the be-
ginning OF the war in South Africa, gave a
formal pledge that Russia would not take
advantage OF England's complications for
a further Asiatic advance. The Kreuz
Zeitung declares that this information is
authentic. In high political circles here no
surprise was felt at Lord Salisbury's reply
to the Kruger-Steyn proposals. Doubtless,
such an answer was expected. Nor is II be-
lieved In the same circles that the war viii

PEACE PROPOSITIONS.
President McIkfnley's Rejected Ap-
peaI-Another Overture Probable

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE answer
of Lord Salisbury to the message from
President Kruger, which was transmitted
through our government, was received at
late hour last night by Secretary Hay,
through Mr.. White. our charge at Lon
don. indicated in the London dis
patches, the answer was a declination Of
the appeal 1t has been transmitted to
Adelbert Hay, United States consul at
Pretoria. who will submit it to the two
Presidents. This marks the end of the
first overture towards peace. 1t Is be-
lieved here, however, that another effort
will soon be made by the Beers to attain
peace, though recourse may be had to
some other agency than the United States.
The President has decided that 1t is not
proper at this time to make public the text
of the communications which have passed
between Pretoria, London and Washing
ton. relating to the peace negotiations
Therefore the Allen resolution, adopted by
the Senate calling for the correspondence,
must remain unanswered for the present.
though there is reason to believe the cause
for maintaining secrecy on this point will
soon disappear. 1t is stated, however, that
the press dispatches have indicated the
salient features of the correspondence with
sufficient accuracy and about the only omis-
sion, so far as can be learned, was the fall
ure to develop the fact that the appeal
of the Boer government that the United
States might be allowed to intervene, was
accompanied by an earnest expression by
the President of his willingness to do any,
thing within his power to bring about the
termination OF the war. which he hoped
might be attained Lord Salisbury's re-
ply, while firmly declining the request of
the Boer government, conveyed his appre-
citation of the commendable sentiments
which inspired the Presidents utterances
Inasmuch as there appears to be some
confusion in the public mind respecting
the various efforts made by the Beers to
end the war. 1t may be stated that this
particular correspondence, passing through
the State Department, was separate and
apart from the note addressed by Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn to nearly all the
continental powers believed to be in SYM
pathy with their cause, and was also dis
tinct from the appeal addressed directly
to Lord Salisbury by the two Presidents,
which, with his lordship's answer, formed
the subject Of the communication made
by him yesterday to Parliament.

Kruger Says Death Only VIII Still the

NEW YORK, March IA dispatch from
President Kruger to the Evening Journal,
dated Pretoria, March 13 p. m, via Ber-
lin. says: ''The burghers will only cease
fighting with death. Our forces are return
ing in good order to our line of defense on
our own soil. The Natal campaign was
longer in our favor than we expected. The
British will never reach Pretoria The
burghers, Steyn, Joubert and myself, as
well as all the others, are united. There
are no differences. God help u.s."

NEXT MOVE BY ROBERTS.

tein. In any case, after pause to COM
plete the reorganization of his communica-
tions. Lord Roberts will move his troops
southwark on the restored railway line to

Bloemfontein will precipitate the retreat of
the Boer forces from the Orange river dis
trlcts The Free State forces are evidently
we'll beaten, and small blame to them. The
outside estimate Of their numbers before
the war was 10000, of whom a few thou

themselves to eght another pitched battle,

tingent to the Transvaal army. unless, as
seems likely, they desert to their farms"

NEW YORK, March 15-Montague White
confirms the rumors that the Beers will
utterly destroy Johannesburg If forced to
do so. Pretoria could not be defended, he
says, if johannesburg were permitted to
remain. He hopes that something may be
done to satisfy the legitimate aspirations
of both belligerents before such catastro-
phe to civilization happens. But the Beers
will sacrifice johannesburg and its beauti-
full buildings and modern adjuncts to civil
ization IL they are forced to do 1T. Then it
will be fight to the last drop of blood for
