London. March 10, a. m.--The Beers feel that
their cause is weakening. This is made ap-
parent by dispatch from Mall" correspond
ent in Pretoria setting forth that when Presi-
dent Kruger and President Steyn conferred at
Bloemfontein Monday they drew up a state
ment Of terms on which they would be willing
to accept peace, and Incorporated their views in
a telegram to Lord Salisbury. They deny the
existence of any Dutch conspiracy, and assert
that the Boer occupation of British territory

ever will only be accepted by them on the un-
derstanding that the independence of the two
republics must be maintained and If England
is waging a war of conquest the Beers will

In this connection it is interesting to read in

terms of peace will be conceded which would
involve the continuance of the political and
military independence of the two republics

Cadmus and Merritt were taken from the river.
The exact cause of the explosion will never be
known. but 1t was In all proba bilty due to the
operator of the testing machine. either Merritt or
Cadmus. The explosion occurred In the room

and frame building. in which the metallic car

dropped too strong current turned

and the accident probably due to one of
those causes.
There were two loud and distinct reports, and
then for a half hour a continuous series OF ex-
posions occurred. making 1t perilous for any
to venture near the building. The first explosion
hurled the frame room high into the air. The
bricks were scattered in all directions The
concussion from the second explosion caused
the storage building-a frame structure-about
fifty feet away. to be blown up.

PRESIDENT KRUGER SAID TO HAVE AP
PEALED TO LORD SALISBURY

PRESIDENT hRUE SAID TO HAVE AP-
PEALED TO LORD SALISBURY
London, March 9.-It is learned that the cur
rent peace rumors are founded on the fact that
President KRUGER has appealed to Lord Sails
bury for a cessation of hostilities, offering at
length, by cable. the terms which he is willing
to accept. These, however, are not taken seri-
ously. they include practically nothing more
than what the Transvaal Government offered
prior to the Issuing Of the ultimatum.
Official circles here regard the propositions as
merely a rIse Of the Beers to gain time and do
not consider that President Kruger is yet ready
to consider the sweeping demands which Great
Britain will make reimbursement for the loss
of life and great expenditure
1t Is understood that President Kruger's ad-
vances met with emphatic rejection at the
hands of Lord Salisbury. who is believed to have
said that such attempt to retain the nde-
pendence of the Transvaal can be considered for
a moment by the British Government.
President KrGger is also quoted as having de-
clared in his address to the troops that he ''did
not know whether arbitration Intervention
would end the struggle, but that it would end
quickly, within the next month"; he strongly
believed
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the
Exchequer when explaining to the bankers the
terms of the new loan gave them an intimation
that the Government considered the end of the
war near. "Snce the estimates were prepared"
he said "events have taken place that have
changed the situation. and probably not all
the money Will be required"
Whatever the Government may know or in
tend unofficial opinion seems everywhere to
think that the Boer power is coapsing. The
Eighth Division has been under orders to en-
bark for several weeks: but these orders. so far
as the artillery contingent is concerned have
been recalled Lord Roberts having reported
that no more artillery from home is necessary
