HARMONY OF THE POWERS
Chancellor Won Bulow's Speech on the
Situation in China.

Belin. March 15.-The imperial chan
cellor, Count o BuelOw, in a speech
in the reichstag today admitted hat
differences of opinion bad arisen be-
tween the powers in regard to the Chi
nese affairs, but he hoped they would
be overcome. Although it had not been
easy to secure an agreement, owing to
the naturally conflicting interests of the
different governments, it has been pos
sible to draw up a reasonable peace
programme. The harmony OF the pow
ers. thus far. had been preserved, n
hope was entertained that the feeling
of solidarity among the civilized ma
tiOnS would suffice to overcome the diff
~ferences Of opinion which had lately be-
come apparent in regard to matters in
China.
The chancellor alluded 40 the Anglo
German agreement, saying its tendency
was to preserve the integrity of China
50 long as possible, and to protect Ger

contain secret clauses. Count Won
BuelOw continued:
Just as good as our relations with
Russia and Great Britain, are our rela-
ton with the United States, France
and Japan. The United States is TAX
ing her part zealously in the negotia-
tions and is especially displaying the
keenest interest in the maintenance Of
China's integrity"

THE WAR NOT TERMINATED
Dispatches from Kitchener show Hos
Utilities still In Progress.

London. March ia dispatch from
Lord Kitchener issued this morning is
so studiously silent upon the subject Of
the peace negotiations that IL leads
to the conclusion that nothing has yet
been accomplished of a sufficiently def
mite character to justify lending off,
cial support TO the view that the war
is over. Nor do General Freachs
movements indicate a cessation OF
hostilities, although. possibly. as no
date is given. his captures were made
previous to h granting OF the armis-
tice.
Lord KitcheneTs dispatch. which is
dated at Pretoria last evening. reports
as follows:
"DeWet has reached Senekal on his
northwar progress
French, in addition to his previous
successes, reports 10 Beers killed or
wounded, 146 taken prisoners and sur
renderd, with 500 rifles. 3,700 rounds
OF ammunition, 2.400 horses. $500 cattle
and 400 wagons and carts. beside
mules and trek oxen.
"Methuen has arrived at Warrenton
from k~leerksdorp, bringing in prison
ers and cattle.
The weather is wet. DELAYING the
movements of the columns"
A dispatch from Pretoria, after not
ing General deWet's arrival at Senekal.
Orange River colony, says that though
he has eriy a small following deWet is
nearing a district where he is likely to
receive considerable achievements.
and probably intends to pick up rowing
bands of republicans who are ever
present in the Dornberg and Koranna-
berg districts.
General French, the dispatch adds,
had been detained by swollen drifts in
h Pietretisf district but 10 now able

GENERAL DeWET GONE MAD
British Prisoners Declare that He has
Succumbed TO Recent Mental Strain

Roemfontein. Orange River Colony,
March 15.-Prisoners Who have late
beer released by General deWet say
they think he is a mailman. TheE
aver that the terrible fatigues he has
undergone, his anxieties and the inten-
sity of mis- feelings have unhinged his
mind. Apart from this view of Gen
eral deWet's mental state, some of his
peculiarities are that ne rarely sleeps
within the pounds of his camp He
seeks rest outside, with a few trusted
followers.Thus. the orderlies of his sub
ordinate commanders are frequently
unable to find him TO receive orders.
His secrecy is extreme. He absolutely
imparts his plans to no one.
General deWet redudiates the peace
negotiations which are going on. He
has declared openly to the men under
his command that no terms except in
dependence will satisfy him.. A recent
utterance attributed to General denver
is that after the British he hated the
T~ransvaalers.
The whereabouts of General deWeS
during the last two or three days is I'M
known. nor is it known whether Presi.
dent Steyn is with him.
