London, March 2O-The issuance
of parliamentary papers on the nego.
tiations between Lord Kitchener and
General Botha is delayed. General
Botha's refusal to accept the peace
terms offered him is commented upon
with an evident sense of relief. The
idea that Lord Kitchener initiated the
negotiations instead of General Botha,
as has been supposed, is unpalatable
to the British press.
The Daily Mail, under the editorial
caption Our Rejected Suit asks
why the government instructed Lord
Kitchener to sue for peace after the
murder of the peace ENJOYS, and con-
cludes as follows:
Let the war be pressed to the ut
most and let further reinforcements
be prepared, for they may be needed,
but, above all, let us have no more

iAedFeuW OTtl, han., March 2O.-Tle
insurrection of the convict miners at
the state shaft at Lansing, which be.
gan Monday by the convicts selling
the IS guards, stopping work and
taking possession of the mine, was
brought to close at 1880 o'clock p.
NJ, and the mutinous convicts are be.
ing placed in their cells as fast as
they can be brought to the surface.
The imprisoned guards have been re.
leased and are again above the sur
face.
The warden and every available of.
flcer had gathered around the mouth
OF the mine, each ldan heavily armed.
Hunger had begun to tell upon the
mutinous convicts and they began to
parley with the warden. They sent
him word that if he would promise not
to inf1ict punishment for their action
they would surrender and come up.
To this the warden would not con-
sent, sending down word that the sur
render must be unconditional, the
question of punishment to be consid-
cred later. The warden then held a
consultation with his officers and it
was decided to attempt a rescue of the
guards and also to overawe the con-
victs and force their surrender. Sc
lecting his men, the warden, with sew
en- or eight guards heavily armed, en-
tered the hoist and were soon speed
ing downward. When near the bot
tom of the pit,
Heavy Fusilade Was Opened,
the shots being fired toward the top
of the shaft. This took the convicts
by surprise and thinking that the
shots were intended for them, they
hastily fed;~ leaving the guards, who
were soon Joined by their comrades,
after which they were sent to the top.
The armed guards then started after
the convicts and soon had the ring
leaders under arrest. The others
gave in and surrendered.
The first outbreak in the mine took
place shortly after the noon meal, and
was started by the convicts in Division
No. 8. Of the 10 men in this division,
16 seized the guard and overpowered
him, and announced that they had de-
cided to strike. They told the guard
that they had decided to mine two
instead of three cars of coal as a days
work in the future, and that they pro-
posed to have better food. This guard
was left in charge of two Of the con-
victs in the mutiny while the others
marched to the adjoining division and
spread the revolt and called on the
convicts to join The convicts were
soon marching through the mine from
one division to another, yelling and
swinging their lamps and picks.
Other desperate convicts entered into
the spirit, while short term men Of
ferred no opposition to the mutineers
and quietly joined them: So far as
can be learned no opposition of any
kind was offered the convicts. The.
officers, not carrying firearms, were
helpless, and the life of anyone would
have been forfeited had he tried even
to check the mad spirit of the con-
vfcts.
