Intimation by Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, Chancellor
of the Exchequer.
REINFORCEMENTS HELD BACK
LORD ROBERTS SAYS NO MORE Ar
TILLERY rs NECESSARY.
Kruger and Steyn Make Peace Over
lures to SaIisbury-Independe of
the Republics, However, an Indis-
prnsnbIe Condition Evidence of
ROers' Decentralization.
Roers' Generalization.

+ London, March 10-4:15 a. m-Sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the
exchequer when explaining to the
bankers the terms of the new loan,
gave an intimation that the government
considered the end of the war near.
''Since the estimates were prepared" he
have changed the situation; and proba
bly, not all the money will be required"
Whatever the government may know
or intend, unofficial opinion seems
everywhere to think that the Boer pow
er is collapsing. The Eighth division
has been under orders to embark for
several weeks, but these orders SO far
as the artillery contingent is concerned,
have been recalled, Lord Roberts hav-
Ing reported that no more artillery from
home is necessary. This is the first
pause in reinforcements since the war
began. Sir Redvers Butler, second in
command in the field, and Lord Wolse-
ley are understood also to consider that
no more artillery is needed. Lord Rob-
erts has altogether 452 guns, including
siege-pieces.
1t is quite clear that General Butler
will not try anything large in the fu-
ture, as he is to lose Sir Charles War
rem and the latter's ten thousand men,
who have been ordered to join Lord
Roberts. 1t is the expectation of the
war office that Lord Roberts, notwith-
standing the necessity of garrisoning
his depots, will be able to operate a
constantly increasing force until by the
time the Transvaal frontier is reached
ne will have seventy thousand troops.
His kilograms, dealing with non-essen-
tials, are taken to mean that he is up
to some mischief, as his apparent mac
tivity usually spells uncommon activ-
ity.
Mafeking, as a beleagured, town at
tracts much sentiment and sympathy.
Nothing has been heard from there
since February 10. There is a rumor
this morning that Colonel Baden-Powell
has been relieved, but this cannot be
traced to any substantial basis.

nm ABANDONED BABE.
Found I'm Woods lin Meriden Late Inst
Night.

Meriden, March 9.-An abandoned
baby apparently about four weeks old
was found in theNwoods off Crown street
about 10 o'clock tonight. The place is
in the outlying district and very few
persons traverse that section. John
Ibotson and wife were returning home
when they heard the babys cries and
ON investigating found the child lying
there. 1t was very scantily clad. They
brought it to the police station and later
it was taken to the hospital. 1t is
thought that the child must have been
in the woods two or three hours. 1t is
believed by the police that whoever
abandoned THU child wished to have it
die, as the place was SO isolated that
the chances of it being found alive were
remote.

RUMOR OF A NEW DEPOT.
President Hall says That Plans Have
Not Been Adopted.

A rumor that has been quite preva-
lent in railroad circles during the last
week is that he plans for the proposed
new depot of the Consolidated road in
this city are ready and that the man
agement of the road after long delay,
has at last decided to erect the new
station. The report was denied by
President Hall yesterday. He stated
that there was not only no foundation
for it, but that the building is no nearer
erection than it was several years ago
when the report was first circulated.
He said that some future day there
would probably be a new depot. but
that so far it has not been seriously
considered.

BELGIUM REGRETS
That Princes Assailant So Easily Es-
 capped Punishment

Brussels, August 3.-In reply to the note of the British government expressing re- great that the proceedings against Sipido, the assailant of the Prince of Wales should have had such an utterly inadequate end ing, the Belgian government says that as a strict observer of the laws it was una ble to violate them, however strong its desire to proceed vigorously against the culprit.
 According to Belgian law, the reply points out, Sipido, like any other young man placed at the disposal of the govern ment and having a legal domcile in Bel gium, had three days to appeal to the court of cassation. Living with his pa rents, he had legal domicile, and there fore, he could not be arrested for three days. He profited by the delay to take flight. The Belgian government says it regrets the incident, but cannot be held responsible for It.

 When Esteve and Widmar were told of this boast of an Italian, Esteve said that the whole tale was false. He said neither he nor Widmar knew Bressi was going to Italy. They had never talked with Bressi about murder. They had talked with him many times over how to spread the teach ings of anarchy through the systes.
 Esteve said tonight
 The American who says these things lies. There was no such meeting. He says he hates me-. He must, to tell such lies about me. Some Socialists may hate me. Last winter Dr. Romandiod Cassato, Ital- ian Socialist leader and member of the Chamber of Deputies, was here, and there were debates. I took part in them, and I always bested the Socialists who spoke against me. Some of these men whom I beat may hate me, and take this way of hurting me. 1 shall stay, and so will Wid- mar, to meet any accusations. The police need not watch us. We will be here If they should ever want us. We fear not"
 Widmar said there must be mistake in the information that his brother had been arrested in Europe in connection with the killing of Humbert. He said he had but one brother, who was employed by the Austrian government, and he was not an anarchist,
 Michael Aretta, silk dyer's helper, 30 years old, had his scalp split open today by Pietro Marcolli, 40 years old, and an avowed anarchist Aretta loudly condemn ed the anarchists said he hoped Bressi would be tortured well as killed, and that he loved King Humbert a great man and a good one. Marcoll rushed upon him with club, hit him with the weapon and laid open the scalp.
