London, March 10.-Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the ex-
chequer in his explanation to the
bankers of the terms of the new loan,
gave them the information that the
government considered the end of the
war near. Whatever the government
may know, the unofficial opinion
seems everywhere that the boer power
is cellapsing. The eighth division has
been under orders to embark for sew
eral weeks but these orders, as far as
the artillery contingent is concerned,
has been recalled, Lord Roberts hav-
ing reported that no more artillery
from home was necessary. This is the
first stopping in reinforcements since
the war began. Sir Redvers Butler,
second in command in the field, and
Lords Wolseley it is understood also
consider no more artillery needed.
Lord Roberts has altogether 452
guns, including siege pieces. 1t IS
quite clear that Gen. Butler will not
try anything large in the future, as he
Is to lose Sir Chas. Warren and the
latter's 10000 men, who have been Or
dered to join Gen. Roberts. 1t is ex-
pected at the war Office that Roberts,
Notwithstanding the necessity of garri
soning his depots, will be able to OPP
crate constantly with an increasing
force until by the time the Transvaal
frontier is reached he will have 10000
troops. His kilograms dealing with
non-essentials are taken to mean that
ne is up to some mischief, as his ap-
parent inactivity usually spells uncom-
ieagured town, attracts much senti-
ment and sympathy. Nothing has
been heard from there since Feb. 9.
There is a rumor that Col. Baden
Powell has been relieved but this CAP
not be traced to any substantial basis.

matches from Poplar Grove confirm the
