In the absence of important news from
the seat of war, speculation is rife re-
garding the probability Of an early peace.
President Kruger's appeal to Lord Sails
bury for a cessation of hostilities, an
nounced on Friday is taken as foreshad-
owing that the end will soon /: in sight.
The Governments views are probably
enunciated in the followinf semi-official
statement, issued last night:
1T is understood that the Government
does not consider that the time has yet
for any authoritative statement as
to the ultimate terms of peace, and no
member of the Cabinet has authorized
any published statement on the subject.
1T is, of course, generally understood
among all political parties in this cOun-
try, that so far as the South African Re-
publics are concerned the status quo
ante-bellum cannot remain unaltered
after the close OF hOstilities. Their part
in the system which involved a large
measure of political and military i%ndepen-
dence, will, of course, be materially modi-
fed as a result Of the war, but the grow
ing prospects of restored peace must be
further advanced before Her Majesty'S
Government can either finally formulate
proposed terms of settlement or make
any announcement of their plan

generally believed this p~recaution was
altogether unnecessary. The excitement
began 10 subside by II O'Clock The rail-
roads are closely watched, however, and
any attempt at rescue would result serl-
ously. Secretary of State Powers was
bleeding profusely when taken TO his
cell. He said he had been struck on the
head with a club after reaching the in
side OF the jail. presumably by one of the
arresting officers. There is much sup
pressed excitement among the local Goe-
bel politicians, as if q coup were in pros
pect, but it is impossible TO learn its true
inwardness. The Jail is carefully and
guarded during the night. Pow
ers and Davis would not be allowed bail
All the soldiers mat accompanied DAVIS
and Powers went on through on the same
train, presumably to Ashland, KY. They
were not molested by the officers, and
Lieutenant Peake was taken because of
his effort to resist the arrest.
THEY SAY HE RESISTED.
DIT. Helms, city physician, dressed the
wounds of Secretary OF State Powers.
The officer said he showed fight and re-
sisted arrest, and was dubbed in the car
and not in jail. Powers showed no con-
Germ for the bowling crowds along the
street. but Captain Davis was apprehen-
sive violence. The distinguished pris-
oners are kept in separate cells and not
allowed to see each other or to see other
prisoners or any one except their guards.
Previous to the arrival of the train the
sheriff was teIephoned to from Frankfort
that he would get a reward Of 81 900 for
Powers and $500 for Davis if they were
unprecedented here. 1t is thought that
they will be taken back to
without delay, possibly tomorrow.
