LoUsET At ToULoN.
Met by Duke OF Gtnoa ami Their Greetings
Are verj Cordial.

Toulon, April 10.--Thc town is filling
up fast and is gay with flags and fes-
toons of French and Italian colors. The
Duke of Genoa visited the mayor of
Toulon. this morning, and was every
where greeted with cheers. Enormous
crowds on the quays watched the ar
rival of the squadron cscorting Presi-
dent LOubet.
The land batteries and the Spanish
ships Joined in the general salute to
President Loubet as the st. Louis en-
tered the port, passing the Italian SHIPS
whose sides were manned by their
cheering crews. while the bands played
the "Marseillaise."
The Duke Of Genoa and his staff. on
the bridge Of the Lcpanto exchanged
salutes with NJ. Loubet and his minis
ters The President landed at o'clock
and drove in a landau through streets
lined with troops to the Place d Armes,
where he bestowed decorations on a
number of military men. Thence NJ.
Loubet repaired to the prefecture.
The Duke of Genoa and his staff left
the Lcpanto at 8 O'Clock. all of the 40
ships in the roads firing salute. On
his arrival at the arsenal the duke was
received by the officials and conducted
in a landau to the maritime prefcc-
ture. where he was received with mil
itary honors.
President Loubet has sent numerous
decorations of the Legion Of Honor to
the Italian officers. and he has also be-
slowed Legion of Honor decorations on
three of the officers of the Spanish
battlcship Pelayo.
At the prefecture the duke. who was
in full uniform, was presented to Pres
ident Loubet. They cordially convcrsed
for 20 minutes, after which the duke
handed NJ. Loubct the collar of the
Order of the Annunciata. The suites
were then introduced to one another

turned to his flagship with the same
ceremonial as observed on his arrival.

And Words Of Brotherly Love
Exchanged at TouIon.
Pres. loubet Arrives and Is Greeie d
by Duke Of Genoa.
Equally Loving Demonstrations With the Rus
slams at WIleiranchc.

Paris, April 10.-The important feS-
tivities attending President Loubets
visit to the Riviera were brought to a
Climax today. in the double naval
demonstration at Villefranche and
Toulon. Both proved splendid specta-
cles. The profusc decorations at Tou-
lon, the notillas of pleasure boats fit
ting about the harbor the gayly dress-
cd warships lying in the roadstead and
the animation of the immense crowds
of strangers jostlng one another in the
streets and along the wharvcs impart-
cd color and picturcsqueness to the
scene which out-vied the situation at
Villefranche.
The French people. however, derived
as much pleasure from the incidents at
Villefranche as from the meeting cf NJ.
Loubet and the Duke of Genoa at TOu-
Ion. NJ. Loubct fully appreciates the
value of the French set word ally in
connection with the relations of France
to Russia. and he again took an OPP
portunity to pronounce it on board the
Alexander II, this morning. When ac-
cepting tea from Admiral Birileff he
said:
II am very much pleased that His
Majesty. the Emperor, has sent a
squadron to salute the President of the
French republic. l am very grateful
for this mark of sympathy and / raise
my glass to the health Of Their Ma
jcsties, the Emperor and Empress and
to the friendly and allied Russian ma
ton and to the prosperity Of the Rus
sian navy"
The ceremony of decorating Admiral
Birileff with the cross of the Legion of
Honor was performed in the presence
of the whole crew. NJ. Loubet then
embraced the admiral. and expressed
regret that the previously fixed hour
for his arrival at Toulon prevented him
making a detailed inspection of the
Russian flagship. All the officers Of
the flagship were presented to NJ. Lou
bet. who shook hands with them all.
The Alexander III was the first to
fire parting salute as the St Louis
steamed out of the bay and the crews
manned the Russian warships when
the St Louis passed. shouting seven
times "Niye la Republique," or raising
seven hurrahs. simultaneously the
trumpcts blared and there was great
beating of drums.
The general program at Toulon was
carried out without a hitch. The Duke
of Genoa. the Italian officers and sail
OrS met with q flattcring welcome, the
French scamcn fraterniEing with the
Italians on shore. Every desire was
shown on both sides to cultivate a mu-
tual good feeling.

T,o Much for Him. So U-dcrtak S 10 ac.c-
tia!e for Whole irry.

Cape Town, April 1c.-Gen. Botha has
rcopcned gotta tions with the British
for peace. AS explained here, this ac
ton was determined in part by Gen.
Gen. Eotha's discovery at a recent
meeting that Gen. DcWet's intellect
had weakened. and that his influence
with his followers was diminishing and
that continuance of the campaign. in
view of Gen. DeWct's responsibility,
rested with Gen. Botha alone.
1t is understood that although Gen.
DeWet at his recent interview with
Gen. Botha refused to- surrender, Gen.
Botha, regarding him as irresponsible.
undertakes to negotiate in behalf of the
entire Boer forces. The British author
ties here consider that if Gen. Bo.ha
surrendered. DeWet's following can be
easily taken.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1901-04-11

correspondent of the Daily Telegraph.
that Gen. Botha has had another in

he informed him that he has seen Cen
DeWet. who still refused to entertain
the idea of surrender on any terms
Gen. Botiia. however, regards DeWef
as no longer responsible for his ac-
tions. and seeks n modus vivendi on
behalf of all the burgher forces"
The report that Gen. Eotha has re-
ncwed the negotiations with Lord
Kitchener. is not yet officially report
ed. but it is generally credited and re
ccived with satisfaction except by the
ultra jingoes. who fear that the gov
ernment will renew the terms recently
rejected.
Regarding Gen. DcWets mental con-
dition, reports have been very con-
iiCtirC for some time. His recent in
activity points to there being some
truth in the rumorS which allcge tnat
