transmitting this communication, took
care to declare that it did not assume
the responsibility for the initiative in
mediation.
The London correspondent of The
Matin says;
~ learn that United States Am
bassador Choate received last even
ing long and important cable from the
United States government relative to
South Africa, which he will communi-
cate today TO Lord Salisbury
WASHINGTON, March 13.-There is
reason to believe that the United States
government is using its good offices to
restore peace between Great Britain and
the South African republics. This has
not taken the shape Of a proffer of medi-
alton. That would be distinctly repug-
nant to Great Britain, and, according to
the rule of international law which has,
without exception, governed the state
department. in the past, could not be
volunteered by us until it was known to
be acceptable to both parties to the war
But the United States might very
properly serve as an intermediary to
transmit an appeal for peace and the
terms upon which peace can be secured.
The United States has successfully
served i'll this capacity in the past, nota-
bly, in the termination of the China
japanese war, and it is believed its good
offices i'll this line are now being ex-
tended. If this belief is well founded,
then Adelbert Hay, United States con-
sui to Pretoria, has been the instrument
for transmitting to the British govern
ment, through the double intervention
of the department of state and Ambassa-
dor Choate, an application from Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn TO be informed
as to the terms upon which the war can
be ended. The facts in the case will be
fully developed in day OF two.
Lord Pauncefote called at the state
department and spent about half an
hour with Secretary Hay. IF he was
made acquainted with the tenor of afiy
communications relative to peace that
may have come from Pretoria he gave
no sign of the fact. The officials of the
department also maintained a reserve
respecting this subject that was impen-
etrable and all that could be obtained
from them was AN injunction to await
the developments of the "a hours. 1t
is surmised from this that the depart
ment is restrained from discussing the
subject by regard for the diplomatic
proprieties, and especially because of the
requirement that the person TO whom
note is addressed should be permitted to
receive it before its substance is made
public. In such case. presuming that
Mr.. Choate received a note Monday, it is
probable chat he would not be able to
inform the state department that he had
delivered it TO Lord Salisbury before
today.
THE HAGUE, March ID. - 1t was
| learned from reliable source that Presi-
dent Kruger, through the eonsuls at
Pretoria, appealed for the intervention
of the great powers in the Transvaal
war and has also appealed to the gov
ernnlents of Belgium, Holland and
/ Switzerland.

Iowa and Philadelphia Ordered

San Diego, Cal, Dec. s.-Admiral
hautz has received orders to sail with
out delay to South America and in ac-
cordance with these instructions prepar-
ations are being hurriedly made for both
the Iowa and the Philadelphia to leave
this port at once The cause for this
hurry is not made public, but came as
great surprise to Admiral Kautz and all
naval officers here Orders had been Civ
en- to put 900 tons Of coaIson board the
flagship for her cruise south, but this
was cancelled when only half the order
had been delivered.
The Kosmos steamer Hather, which
has arrived here, was threatened with
bOmbardment in Colombian waters, if
the captain persisted in making for
Buena Ventura for which place the
steamer had freight. The town is loca-

steaming along this waterway the Off
Ger and crew were surprised to have
cannon ball wTizz across the bows The
vessel was stopped and three revolution
lists came aboard with the statement
that a blockade had been declared of the
port of Buena Ventura, and that the
Hather would have to turn back.
When asked what would happen if
they kept on up the river the reply was
that the vessel would certainly be she'll

OMINOUS SIGNS.
Queen Victoria Shows Symptoms
of Failing.
Falls Asleep While Sitting at
Her Meals.

New York, Dec. S.-A World dispatch
from Windsor, Eng, says:
Much anxiety again prevails in court
circles respecting the queens health She
has broken up noticeably since she was
informed that the Empress Frederick
was suffering from cancer of the throat
and cannot live many months queen
Victoria, who invariably eats and sleeps
well. has now lost her appetite and pass
es sleepless nights For years she never
missed her morning ride in a donkey
chaise around the private gardens until
the last two weeks, when this was for
hidden by her doctor, who ordered her
instead to drive through the park in a
closed carriage
Sunday last the queen kept her room
the entire day, a thing she has not been
known to do for years and the report
goes at the castle that she said she
would not be surprised to hear of the
death of the Empress Frederick any day
as the doctors were afraid to perform an
operation.
It is also whispered that her majesty
falls into dose mealtimes and the other
day when putting on a brave front and
teers, she fell fast asleep in her carriage.
rapidly driven home.
A belief undoubtedly prevails among
those around her that the queen is fail
ing.
The papers of London assert that the
queen is in her usual health but the
above are the true facts on the subject.

PARSONS LOSES.
Supreme Court Decides in Clay
Center's Favor.
In the Bitter and Prolonged
Asylum Case.
MANDAMUS REFUSED.
Parsons Loses IT'S Greatest and
Most Important Hope.
Supreme Court Decides Every
Point For Clay Center.

Clay Center has won the sixth legal
battle in the Parsons asylum case, the
supreme court having today refused the
writ of mandamus asked by Parsons to
compel the state board of charities TO
begin the construction of the asylum at
Parsons.
The opinion which was unanimous on
the part of the three judges of the court
was written by Chief Justice Frank
Doster. The syllabus follows;
''Mandamus will not issue to compel
the performance of an act the doing Of
which has been enjoined by another
court vested with jurisdiction over the
subject matter and over the parties to
the injunction proceeding, except, that It
may sometimes issue in behalf of one
who is not a party to the injunction and
whose rights can only be secured by its
allowance"
The court held that the manner in
which the case was brought to the su-
preme court was irregular, and sums
the matter up in the closing para graph
of the opinion, by saying:
This matter is within the province Of
the district court OF Clay county to in
vestigate and determine and not for US
to undertake to decide except upon pro-
ceedings in error from the judgment
that may berendered in that case should
it be brought to this court. The peremp-
tory writ of mandamus will be refused =
The following additional opinions
were handed down by the court:

Aliwal North, Cape Colony, Friday.
Dec Cen. Dewet appears to be in a
most dangerous position and to need all
his strategy to extricate his force. With
strong British columns on three sides
and two swollen rivers barring his front,
the British commanders begin to be
hopeful that the great chase by four col
umns which has been one of the most
exciting operations of the war, will re-
suit in the capture of Dewet. Definite
news of his whereabouts was first re-
ceived December 2.
