bility of a termination of nostilities was
discussed. Another dispatch, dated the

interest and there are favorable expec-
tations as to the probable outcome. Ac-
oording to the Sun the surrender of Boz
ina would have been an accomplished
fact before now had Kitchener been in
la position to conclude the terms of the
surrender. When the surrender occurs.
The Sun adds. it will include the surren-
Ger or the entire suppression of Dewet
and will involve the termination of the
war
London. March s.-Official circles re-
gard the announcement of an armistice
an South Africa with the greatest satls-
Faction. They point out it must hava
been granted on the solicitation of the
Beers and take the view that Kitchener
v ould never have consented to it unless
he felt practically sure ii would result
in an important advance towards tho
termination OF all hostilities.
IT is calculated. according to the cen-
sus returns just issued, that the popu-
iation of the central provinces of India
decreased 100000, due TO famine.
