LORD sALIsBURY'S REPLY.
Only a Go-Between Arrangement Was
Proposed-well-Kn Known Aversion of the
British Government to Foreign Inter
vention Does Not Appear to Have Been
Aroused-ORer Presented by Mr. White


London, (By Cable. )--Prime Minister Sails
bury, on the part Of the British government,
politely declined an offer Of the United States
government to serve as mediator, win
view to bringing about peace In South Africa.
The representations OF Presidents Kruger
and steyn to Secretary Hay were forwarded
by cable to the United States embassy IN
London. Henry White, the charge d'anaires'
presented them to Lord Salisbury.
The representations made to Great Britain
were 80 put that they assumed nothing OF
desire to intervene, but simply transmitted
the communication made to United states
Consul Adelbert s. Hay, at Pretoria, with
the accompanying assurances that anything
the State Department could do In the inter
ssts of peace would be gladly undertaken.
The well-known aversion Of the British gov
eminent to any foreign Intervention does not
appear to have been aroused.
The offer OF mediation emanated from Pre-
toria, where Mr.. Hay, with the other con-
suls, subsequent to Presidents kruger ana
steyn sending their peace cablegran to Lord
Salisbury were asked to endeavor to secure
the good offices OF their respective govern
ments, apparently with the view OF bringing
outside influence to bear upon Lord Sails
bury's reply to the Boer oyertures. These
seem to have been fruitless, except In the IN
stance of the United States consul, whose
representations to Secretary Hay were Tor
warded as above stated. Lord Salisbury
courteously received the representations
When Mr.. White called at the Foreign once
by appointment, he received formal repiy
from the British government, declining the
good Offices of the United States in regard 70
peace. The reasons the Prime Minister gave
were the same he made in reply to the cable
grams of President Kruger and Steyn, whicD
were that Great Britain is not prepared &c
assent to the Independence either Oh the
South African Republic or the Orange Free
State.
The interview between Mr.. White and Lore
Salisbury was very brief, the Premier con
fning himself to q courteous verbal deciina
ton. without entering into details.

at the proper angle and forced forward
by battery of hydraulic jacks. AS
the drill goes deeper and deeper the core
is forced out, more tubing is coupled on
and the increasing length Of pipe is
showed out toward and finally under the
river. When the sands are reached the
water percolates under pressure through
them is forced through the tubing, to
which a brass strainer is attached to
keep out the grit and allow the free
passage of the water.
After the well is finished suction
pump, or 'air-lift,' is installed, and as
long as the strainer is kept in order,
fair water is obtained. In wells of this
type the air lift is most desirable. BY
this system the water is forced out of
the we'll by means of column Of COM
pressed air which is driven to the bot
tom of the well.
Sometimes the well tubing becomes
bent and DIVORCES from a true angle.
If the curve is very great the chances
are the strainer will not rest in the sand
at all and the water will not be pure.
But as a general thing these horizontal
