the French government would defeat Its
own object and instead of opening a way
TO honorable peace would act as oil on

NO ANSWER RECEIVED YET.
Consequently the Government ut
Washington VIII Make No Pub
lie Statement,

WASHINGTON, March i3.-Up 10 the
time the cabinet meeting adjourned today
no answer had been received from the
British government 10 the representations
made through Mr.. Choate touching the
restoration OF peace In South Africa. II
was decided by the cabinet upon an ex-
PLANTATION of the case by Secretary Hay
that 1t would not be proper at present to
make any statement relative to the part
which the United States government il
taking in the effort to terminate the war.
Ii Is stated on the highest authority
that in Its present capacity the United
States government Ia not a mediary, but
is simply a "ro-between."
Not q single proposition to serve as
basis OF peace agreement between Great
Britain and the South African republics
was set out in the communication to Lord
Salisbury All that was ventured in this
first overture was an inquiry as to what
Great Britain was likely to demand as the
price OF stopping the war. To have gone
farther and have proposed terms on our
own account might have placed the United
States in the position OF an unlimited me-
diator.
The cabinet also discussed the resolution
OF Senator Allen calling for information
as to what steps had been taken to bring
about peace In South Africa
1t was decided that no statement on the
subject could he given at present. owing
TO the fact that the correspondence in
Germany Holds Aloof.
BERLIN, March is-It is semiofficially
announced that when the orange Free
State and the Transvaal addressed TO
number of the larger and smaller states a
request for friendly mediation, the Ger
man government replied that 1t would
willingly participate, provided the essen
tial conditions of such mediation were
present, namely. the certainty that both
belIigerents desired IL.
