RELIEVED AT LAST.
London Set Wild at News That
Mafeking Siege Is Lifted.
millions of People spent Half the Night
In the Streets-Nevvs of the Relief
Came Only from Boer
Sources

London, May ia special dis
patch from Amsterdam says a teIe-
gram from a Boer source announces
that Mafeking was relieved Tuesday.
The recipient of the telegram is cred
tied with having heard of the re-
lief of Ladysmith before it was an
nounced.
A Boer Account Confirms IT,
Pretoria, May lot was officially
announced that when the laagers and
forts around Mafeking had been Sc
verely bombarded the siege was
abandoned, a British force from the
south taking possession of the place.
President Steyn left for the Free
State last night. Addressing a crowd
on the platform, he urged them to
be of good cheer.
It is reported that 100000 British
troops have surrounded Christiania
and Londrost and other officials have
been taken prisoners.
The British Empire JubHant.
London, May 19.-London's millions
spent half the night in the streets
singing and cheering and there We're
crowds in front of the Mansion house,
Marlborough house, the clubs on Pail
Mall and the war office and in parlia-
ment square, waving flags and joining
in the national airs over the reported
relief of Mafeking. Conventional
family parties stopped at street cor
ners to take part in singing "God
Save the Queen and Soldiers of the
Queen" The provinces were not be-
hind the metropolis. Although Lon
don had the start by few minutes,
the great industrial and surrounding
towns soon burst into patriotic dem
onstrations. From all parts of the
empire comes the same story. Bonn
bay, Hong Kong, Colombia and the
Australian cities are rejoicing. Con-
tinental cities, as the press kilograms
abundantly testify, received the news
sadly.
Gen BOtha Prisoner.
London, May lot is officially an
nounced that Gen. Methuen entered
Hoopstad yesterday unopposed, that
Gems. Duprey and Daniels and 40 men
have surrendered and that Gen. Broad
wood occupied Lindley yesterday. It
is further announced that Hutton's
mounted infantry yesterday surprised
and captured Commandant Botha and
% others, 80 miles northwest Of
Kroonstad.
Details of operations tend to con-
firm the view that the end of the war
was within measurable distance.
From Kroonstad comes a story at
tributed to excellent authority that
a peace party is being formed at Pre-
toria, while reports from Pretoria
itself indicated encouragement at the
recent reverses and the possibility Of
an early suing for peace.

ASKING FOR PEACE.
President Kruger Wires Salisbury
About Terms of CapituIation.
Message Said to Be Conched in Exceedingly
Humble LanguAge-fs.,erF For. "a AJAfe-
King Captnred-yVhI Led the Coz
umu into MAreKing?

London, May 21.-DispIayed in the
most conspicuous style in the Daily
Express is the dominant war news
Of the morning: eve have the best
reason for stating that in the last "a
hours telegram has been received at
the foreign Office, addressed personally
to the prime minister, from President
Kruger, proposing terms of peace.
The exact terms of the message can
not be stated, but we believe it is
couched in an exceedingly humble
strain"
Reports flow into Lord Roberts at
headquarters of the encouragement
of the Beers and of their willingness,
even in the case of the Transyaalers,
to give up. President Steyn is de-
scribed as having lost his head sew
era1 times recently.
The Daily Telegraph is advised that
plot has been discovered at Pretoria
to depose President Kruger and to
surrender the Transvaal during the
present month. Progressive Dutch
men and members of the judiciary
are asserted to have been parties to
the movement.
A Cape Town correspondent reas-
serts that the Irish-American ambu-
lance corps from Chicago suffered
heavily during the fighting at Kroon-
stad, and that United States Con-
sui Hay has protested vainly to Pres
ident Kruger against using the corps
on the fighting line.
Celebrating the Relief of MafekinG.
London, May 2O.-The whole Brit
I'll. L.
feet by the news of the relief of MAIZE
king. Even the demonstrations on
Ladysmith day pale before the spon-
taneous traspOrts of delirium recorded
in cablegrams from all parts of the
world where floats the union jack.
Overstrained feelings have found vent
in an expression of heartfelt enthusi-
asm which, starting from various
news centerS, spread like a prairie
fire through the united kingdom and
the colonies and converted every COM
munity into aggregatiOns of shouting,
cheering, singing, half-frantic, but
for the most part, orderly humanity.
The commanding officer of the col
umn that reached the Mafeking goal
has not been mentioned. One theory
is that Gen. Kitchener was in COM
mand, and was bent on relieving the
prime minister's son; another is that
Mai. Baden-Powe1l volunteered for the
work and was put in charge of a colo
NAL column. If one brother has re-
lieved another, Gen. Roberts has pro-
vided most dramatic surprise. Gen.
Roberts has clearly redeemed his
promise made to the garrison. He
named May Is as the date, and Lon
don received the news in the nick of
time.
