London, March 29-"I still believe,

w. L. Stead:
DIR. Leyds said to me: What have
we to lost by the prolongation Of
the war? You have transported
and penned up our women and
children; you have burned our houses
ard our crops and denuded our country
of domestic beasts. We have nothing
left but our lives and our freedom, and
these we shall defend until you grow
extremely weary of the contest.

The Beers fully appreciate the mag

ing that we lose everything and they
nothing by the continuance of hostili-
ties, they will adopt negative of wait

long lines ofscommunication and will IL
tack them where they are weak They
will fall upon our conveys and isolate
Earrisons and snipe our troops from
hidden positions We learn from the
Zines correspondent at Pretoria that
our columns often march for twenty
Gays, constantly under fire, without
catching sight of a single Boer.
General Frcnch's sweeping move
ment has utterly failed TO clear the
eastern Transvaa of the enemy. He
still abounds there, and cuts our lines of
communication apparently at will
The Beers are aware not only of our
great financial difficulties. but they also
know that our foreign relations perpet-
tally hold for them the promise OF sal-
vation. They know as we'll as does any
Englishman that We should get into any
trouble with any first-rate power we

Be Opposed.
Washington, March 29.-The Kansas
congressional delegation has decided To-
urge the president to appoint Funston
q brigadier general in the regular army
as a reward for his daring capture Of
Aguinaldo. This afternoon Senator
Norton and Representatives Long. and
Curtis. the only members of the dele
cation in the city, will call upon the
president for that purpose. They would
not be surprised if considerable opposi-s
ton to giving Funston brigadier gen
eralshlp should develop at the war de-
partment. There is no disposition in the
regular establishment to belittle Funs
sons exploit, especially since the re-
lceipt of MacArthur's dispatch giving
full credit to Funston, but there natur
ally will be opposition to jumping
volunteer officer 35 years OF age into the
grade of brigadier general, and the
Kansas delegation recognizes this fact.
Another important dispatch wes re-
ceived at the war department today
from Macarthur. 1t did not refer to
Aguinaldo or Funston. but in the opin-
ion of the war department officials II

relating to those two leaders to the eff
feet that the end of the rebellion is near
at hand. This dispatch chronicles the
surrender of considerable number of
rebels and military arms and the inn
rortant feature of 1t is that the surren-
der marks the complete stamping out
of the insurrectior.
The dispatch avs assfollows:
Manila, March 29.-Brig. Gen. Kobbe
reports the surrender at Sunulao. Min
danao, of nine officers and 100 men. 1871
