Fighting at Aparrf.

Generals Young and Hood are asking Major General Otis for re-enforcements, and battalion of the Forty eighth regi- ment has been sent to Aparri. Other troops will follow. The rebels recently consistently attacked Aparri for several hours, but were finally driven away. De tails of the affair are lacking.

It is believed that the insurgent Generals Tinio and Flores have been driven by General Young into General Hoods district. The fact that General Young is unable owing to lack of troops to maintain gnrrisons in all the towns occupied has had a bad ef- feet on the natives.

No power whatever has displayed the slightest intention to intervene in any way. Berlin, Paris, Vie and Rome have all notified their representatives in Pretoria that they cannot interfere.
 Mediation Very Improbable.
 As regards mediation, it is considered highly improbable that any of the Flu ropean powers will take the initiative and put the question to Great Britain whether mediation is desired. The kali sers government has replied that Ger many would be ready to cooperate in any movement for mediation as soon as it became clear that both parties desired it.
 News of Lord Roberts entering Bloem- foutein is now expected at any hour.
 General French on Monday evening oc- cupied two hills commanding the town, 21a miles to the south of it. He met op- position and was apparently unable to capture the railway station, which it was important to take on account of the roll ing stock found there.
 Lord Roberts followed General French with the Third cavalry brigade and mounted infantry, and the rest of the army was marching on Bloemfontein yes terday, so that apparently the command CT i'll chief is only waiting for the infan- try to come up before moving into the Free State capital.
 The seizure of the railway will isolate the Boer detachments still in the south, facing Generals Clements and Gatacre.
 It is not thought likely that the Boers will make any further attempt to contest the entrance into Bloemfontein, but will go off to the northeast to protect the line to the Transyaal.
 It was rumored yesterday that Mafe- king had been relieved, but up to a late hour last night the war office was with out any information confirming the re- port The probability is that the town is no longer severely besieged.
