WAR MUST GO ON.


Offers 10 aid in bringing about peace
III south Africa have been respectfully
declined by Great Britain. Lord Sails
bury has rejected the Kruger Steyn
proposition to end the war.
The United States government, at the
r,equest OF President Kruger and Presi-
dent Stcyn offered to the British gov
crnment its services as mediator, with
the view Of bringing about peace in
South Africa.
The United States charge d'affaircs,
Henry White, saw Lord Salisbury at
the foreign office Tuesday evening and
received formal reply from the British
government, declining tho good Of
fees OF the United States in regard to
peace.
The representations made to Great
Britain were so put that they assumej
nothing OF a desire to intervene, but
simply transmitted the communications
made to United States Consul Adclbert
5. Hay, at Pretoria, with the accom-
panying assurances that anything the
state department could do in the inter
csts OF peace would be gladly undertake
en-. The well known aversion OF the
British government to any foreign in
aroused, and while Lord Salisbury was
unable to comply with the offer. he ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the United
States efforts in behalf Of humanity
The offer of mediation sprang from
Pretoria, where Mr.. Hay, with the 9TH
cr consuls, subsequent 10 Presidents
Kruger and Steyn sending their peace
cablegram TO Lord Salisbury, were ask
ed TO endeavor TO secure the good Of
flccs OF their respective governments.
apparently with the view OF bringing
outside Influence TO bear upon Lord
Salisburys reply to the Boer over
lures. These seem TO have been fruit
less, except in the instance OF the Unit
ed States consul. whose representations
TO Secretary Hay were forwarded to
the United States embassy in London
with instructions outlined above. These
Mr.. White, the charge d'affaires. per-
sonally presented to Lord Salisbury,
who received them cordially.
AS the Boer overtures had already
been answered to the effect that no
propositions including the retention OF
the republics independence could be
considered, the presentation OF the
American offer was already too late.
but the premier apparently deemed il
matter OF sufficient importance to put
himself on record with formal reply.
The government will not allow the
KrugerSteyn appeal to influence in any
way their determination not to spare
any effort to prosecute the war. There
will be no dminution OF measures cal
culatcd to maintain the full efficiency
OF the field force. and whatever rein
iorcements were previously considered
advisable will still be sent out.
Lord Salisbury's reply meets with un-
animous approval among Conservatives
and it is the universal opinion that the
Beers. by their extravagant claims and
canting tone, meant to influence for
cign powers, have again overreached
themselves, as they did by the ultima
tum
