"LIKE PIGS ON A POLE.n
Col. Jack Chinn Tells Wh.S They Are Going to Do When They
 Get squared Around.

Lexington, Ky, March 16.-Col. Jack Chinn is quoted as having said: Wait until we get squared around at Frank fort and we will hang republicans like pigs on a pole"
 Warrants have been issued for 30 prominent republicans in Kentucky and also for four Brown democratic leaders, charging them with being ac- cessories to the murder of Wm Goe. bel. Twelve have been given to detec- tives and but four of them have been served.
 Realizing that an attempt to arrest several of the more prominent repub- licans would result in a bloody riot and civil war, the Goebel managers have held them up, and only four more will be served, the plan being to have the April grand jury of Franklin county return indictments and then make the arrests.
 Gov. Taylor and United States Sena- tor Deboe are on the list of those to be indicted. Attorney Tom Camp bell, who figured in the Cincinnati riot in 1884, and has since lived in New York, is managing the Goebel prosecu- tion. His plan is to prove that confer ences were held by the republican leaders, at which the best method of putting Goebel out of the way was dis cussed
 Alonzo Walker, the official stenog- rapher of the $1o0,0 reward commit tee, has the sworn statements of about 20 witnesses to establish the basis for the charge that plot existed.

END G FIRST OVERTURE.
The Answer of Lord Salisbury to the Message of Presidents
 Kruger and Steyn.
VAS SENT THROUGH OUR GOVERNMENT.
Make Public the Text of the Cont n,unfcattons Which Have Passed Between Pretoria, London and Washington.

Washington, March 15.--The answer If Lord Salisbury to the message from Presidents Kruger and Steyn, which was transmitted through our govern ment. was received at late hour Tues ssny night by Secretary Hay, through Mir. White, our charge at London.
 As indicated in the London dis patches, the answer was a declination of the appeal. It has been transmit ted to Adelbert Hay, United States consul at Pretoria, who will submit it to the two presidents.
 End os the First Overture.
 This marks the end of the first overture towards peace. It is believed here, however, that an effort will soon be made by the Boers to attain peace, though recourse may be had to some ether agency than the United States.
 The president decided that it is not proper, at this time, to make public the text of the communications which have passed between Pretoria, London and Washington relative to the peace negotiations. Therefore. the Allen res olutions, 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.
 The Press Has Covered hct Saifcuts.
 It is stated, however. that the press dispatches have indicated the salient features of the correspondence with sufficient accuracy, and about the only omission, so far as can be learned, was the failure to develop the fact, that the appeal of the Boer government that the United States might be allowed to intervene, was accom- panied by an earnest expression by the president, of his willingness to do anything within his power to bring about the termination of the war, which he hoped might be attained. Lord Salisbury's reply, while firmly declining the request of the Boer gov ernment, conveyed his appreciation oi the commendable sentiments which inspired the presidents utterances.
 To Remove Confusion.
 Inasmuch as there appears to be some confusion in the public mind re- specting the various efforts made by the Boers to end the war, it may be stated that this particular corrc- spondence, passing through the state department. was separate and apart from the note addressed by Presidents Kruger and Steyn to nearly all the continental powers believed to be in sympathy with their cause, and was also distinct from the appeal ad- dressed directly to Lord Salisbury by the two presidents, which, with his lordship's answer, formed the subject of the communication made by him, Tuesday, to parliament

FIGHT AT ABRAHAM's KRAAL.
COmntander De Larey Says the Boers
 Fought Like Heroes.

Pretoria, Tuesday. March 13.- Com mander De Larey's report of the fight at Abra hams kraal, Saturday, says:
 ''rhe British were estimated to num- Der 10000 men. Their first assault was repulsed. Only two Boers were wound ed. The second assault was made on the hills to the left of our position. These hills were of great strategic i'm portance. Approaching this. l and 300 men defended the position from nine in the morning until sundown. The burghers fought like heroes, and three times repulsed masses of the British, who kept relieving their tired men. Every attempt to storm was de- feated. At sundown there were not 50 yards between us. The British lost heavily. No accurate returns of our loss are available"

QUESTION OF A FEW HOURS.
lord Roberts, Occupation of Dloem-
 fontein Seen,s Assured.

fOntetu Seems Assured.
 London, March 14, ? p. m.-A few hours should bring important dis patches from Lord Roberts. No word has come from Bloemfontein today. although sharp fighting is believed to have occurred since the commander in-chief was last heard of. London confidently expects the occupation of the Orange Free State capital will oc- .ur to-day. as previously forecasted.
 Attention Turns Co sInfes&ing.
 In the meanwhile, attention turns to Mafeking. That hamlet of the plains can scarcely hold out much longer. The news of Col. Plumer's ap- proach has given substance to tae rumors of its relief, but those best ir- formed are inclined to think the re- lief is more likely to become accom- pliShed by Col. Peakman's column from Kimberley.
 Had Almost Given Up Hope.
 Private advices have set forth that Col. Plumer had almost given up hope of accomplishing anything more than harassing the Boers, though since these were written, it is possible that the diminished numbers of the in- vesting force may have rendered Plumer's task more feasible.
 Quiet in Natal.
 Judging from the lack of news everything is quiet in Natal. while from Herscbel comes the statement that the total collapse of the insur- gent colonists is imminent
 Gen. Cronje. according to a Cape Town special. sails for St. Helena, March b. accompanied by all the Paar- deberg prisoners.
 Cecil Rhodes Sick.
 Cecil Rhodes is suffering from ca tarrh of the stomach, and is unable to sail fer England.
 Natal dispatches recount the great est satisfaction is felt here at Lord Salisbury's reply to the Boer presi- dents peace overtures.
 Feeling of Relief in Natal.
 A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg, published in the second edition of the Times, says:
 "The reply, especially the last para graph, relating to independence, has been received in Natel. with feeling of great relief, and is dispelling all doubts.'
