Paris. March S.-The news OF the ca
pitulation Of General Cronje arrived on
Mardi Gras and served as an occasion
for demonstration against the Brit
ish- The crowds parading the boule-
wards in the evening raised unceasing
shouts Of ''Abas Anglaisl'' give les
Boers!" Two Englishmen. who were
indiscreetly seated on the terrace Of
cafe IN one Of the boulevards, were
noticed and denounced by some fanat-
les, and in a few moments the merry
throng OF carnival makers was meta
morphosed into a bowling crowd, yell
ing "COnspueZ les Anglaisi"
The EngitShmen were struck and
forced 10 take refuge in the cafe, which
the mob besieged for an hour. until a
strong body of police arrived. The
police charged and dispersed the crowd.
arrestlng SIX persons, who Will be
prosecuted for assault.
The turn Of the tide in favor of Great
Britain in the TTanSvaal has produced
a painful impression here. although all
OF the best organs, while euIogizing
the heroic conduct Of CrOnje's army,
also pay tribute 10 the splendid SOL
dferly conduct shown by Roberts ard
Buffers troops
Talk Of Mediation.
A majority of the newspapers urge
Great Britain TO seize the present on
portunity that her military prestige is
restored, 10 make peace on the basis
or the independence Of the TransvaaL
\ large section OF public opinion de-
mands that the European powers shall
intervene and compel Great Britain TO
accept their mediation for the sake Of
the two plucky republics. President
Mckinley is freely spoken of az the
only chief of state whose Intervention
could be accepted by Great Britain,
but at the same time the ungraciOus
character OF such a task is fully ap-
preciated and the UnlikeIiness of such
a step is recognized. The Figaro saws:
Anything is possible from across the
Atlantic, but the president of the Unit
ed States must feel a deep repusnance
at the role which some people are en-
deavoring TO impose upon him. Lord
Salisbury in this eventuality will ask
reciprocity for England's attitude in
the Spanish war, and everything indi-
Gates that he would obtain it"
Ina Rage With America.
One paper, lie Radical. however. falls
into rage with America because she
refuses 10 FISK burning her fingers, and
exclaimS: "Alasi America, the only
country that can act, does not feel
what is her duty. She has no con-
science Of what she owed TO humanity
Young as she is, she is already gan
creme with ferOciOus AnglO-SaxOn self
ishness."
The foregoing savage criticism of
American unWillinguess to NEEDLE with
other peoples affairs is an isolated in
cident, however, and must be cOnsid-
cred as such.
French admiration for General CrOn-
je has found vent in a subscription
opened by Henri ROehefOrt in L'Intran-
sigeant to present to General Cronje a
sword Of honor. II de RoUlede has
sent 100 francs, accompanied by a char
