Kitchener.

Bondon., March 2O.-Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
has just informed the house of COM
mons that, Gen. Botha has rejected the
peace terms offered him.
Gen. laotiia, Mr.. Chamberlain said,
had conveyed the information in . let
ter to Gen. Kitchener, in which lean
nounced, that he was not disposed to
recommend the terms of peace Gen.
Kitchener was instructed to offer him
to the earnest consideration OF his
government. Gen. Botha added that
his government and it's chief officers
entirely agreed with his view. Mr..
Chamberlain added:

London, March e0.-Thc issuance
of parliamentary papers on tho nego-
t;alions between Lord Kitchener and
Gen. Botha is delayed. Gen. Botha's
refusal to accept the peace terms Of
fcred him is commented upon with
ar evident sense of relief. The idea
that Lord Kitchener initiated the ne
gotiationS, instead of Gen. 1;otha, as
had been supposed, is unpalatable to
the British press. The Daily Mail,
under the editorial caption, "Our Re-
,cctcd Suit asks why the govern

sue for peace after the murder of the

needed; but. above all, let us have no
more negotiations.

out all the humor that can possibly be
extracted from the South, African stu
;tion, says, the Washington Post. That
this is not Intentional on his part, and
that it ADDS to rather than detracts
from the enjoyment OF: the thing. need
hardly be argued. The spectacle of
this dull-wtted butcher unconsciously
| filling the world with merriment is
quite the most ridiculous spectacle on
earth.
For example, the press reports on
Afondao: morning brought us news
from Kitchener to the effect that "our
post at Medderfortein was
attacked by 1000 Beers. The relief
columns sent out from Krugersdorp
failed to prevent the fall Of the post.
No dt,tailS yet Mt hand, but officers and
men captured ut the post are arriving
at NrrScniging." We ask all men who
| have had experience of real war
whether. in their experience, they ever
heard of a military report comparable
to Ghis. Here is Kitchener, said to be
one of England's greatest captains
as no doubt he is-tclegraphing home

army posts. lie admits that his efforts
IN avert the disaster We're fruitless:
:, lie volunteers the information that he
has no details as to the affair: vet he
confidently asserts that the Beers were
1000 strong! And finally. in the most
innocent aud artlcsS way imaginable,
he tells us that officers and men cap
turcd Ivy the Beers. and. according to
custom, promptly releasing unharmed.

too much to suppose that Kitchener
would not in ali probability have
heard of the Metldcrfontcin incident
for several weeks to come had not the
Beers released their prisoners and sent
them back to tell the nrws?
Not content with this display of stu
pidity. Kitchener nfterward sent an
amended statement as follows: "Our
casualties at Mcddcrfontcin were o
officers killed and two wou's.td. 1t
appears That the post was rushed on Il
pitch durk night in heavy rain, the
enemy numbering 100, with two

Wnldcrsee's Plan to, Settle Dispute-
at Tientsin Rejected by Britt
ish and Russians,

Tientsin, March 20,-Count Won Wal
dersee arrived here from Kiao- Chou,
at four o'clock Tuesday. He was met
at the station by Gen. Wogack, Gen.
Campbell and the other general Off
GERS. The field marshal had long and
separate conversations with the Rus
sian and English commanding gener-
ais. He verbally renewed the PROPOSE
lions which had been made by tele-
graph, and which the Russians had de-
clined to entertain. Gen. Wogack de-
cllned to discuss the question of own
efship until the British had withdrawn
from the ground claimed by Russia
and occupied by his forces. Gen.
Campbell stated that under his, in
structions he could not withdraw from
the position. The deadlock therefore
continues. Count Won Waldersee is
vislbly depressed at the failure to ar
range the question, the seriousness of
which he seemed fully to realize. After
an hour he returned to Picking.
There. has been much fighting dur
ing the day between French and Brit
lsh soldiers, but up to the present
there have been no serious results.
Gen. Voyron has ordered out wend-
armes, who. together with the Austri-
ans, are now guarding the settlement

entering.

Negotiations on the spot are at ar

Tientsin, March 2O.-The excite

A company of British troops and
company of Russian soldiers remair
encamped on either side of tn,
trench, looking at each other. TIL
Russians have orders to fire on any
one commencing work.
Gen. Wogack says the trouble wa
caused by the unwarrantablc inter
ference of the British in the affair
OF the Russian concession, and h
adds that the siding will not be cor
tinued unless he receives orders from
his own superiors.
