MoRGAN's BIG DEAL.

London, April 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette today, discussing cabled sug-
gestion that Mr.. ]. Plerpont Morgan's
visit to Europe concerns not only the
steel trust but the Panama Canal pro.
ject, considers it probable that the
strong feeling of British ship.owners
In favor Of the Panama route has had
some influence with Mr.. Morgan, and
says:-
"Mr. Morgan has now the chance Of
bringing the great moneyed people and
ship owners of Great Britain and those
Of the United States together on this
questl N Of an inter-ocean canal. His
presence In this country may consoli-
date the ideas on this question and
bring about working arrangement
suitable to the maritime nations Of
the world"
The White Star Line officials have
issued special orders that no reporters
are to be allowed to board the Teu-
tonic at Queenstown, owing to the
presence of Mr.. Morgan on board.
On account OF the heavy easterly

Unbalanced
Report Of DeWet's Men
tai Condition
WILL NOT YIELD
The Crafty Boer General May
Be Insane

London, April 1.-THE report that
Gen. Botha has renewed the nego.
tiations with Lord Kitchener is not
officially confirmed but it is generally
credited and received with satisfaction
except by the ultra-jingoes who fear
that the government will renew the
terms recently rejected.
Regarding Gen. Dewet's mental
condition reports have been very con-
tlicting for some time. His recent
inactivity points to there being some
truth in the rumors which allege that
long continued hardships under the
harrassing British pursuit have un.
hinged his miod.
On the other hand, a correspondent
of the Times quite recently acknowl-
edged the "WOnderful foresight and
fertility Of resource" which character
lied Gen. DeWet's retreat from Cape
Colony.
As during the previous abortive me-
gotions the British press again loudly
insists on unconditional surrender"
but, with the budgetary necessities
staring the country in the face, If ne.
gotiations are reopened In the Beers,
as the Daily Chronicle remarks edito-
rally, "May reckon on fair treat
ment" at the hands Of the British.
London, April, 11.-"It is semi
officially asserted here'' says the Cape
Town correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph ''that General Botha has had
another interview with Lord Kitchen
er in which he infor med him that he
had seen General DeWet was no long
er responsible for his actions and seeks
a modus vivendt on behalf Of all the
Burger forces. =
London. April i - Reuters des-
patch from the Cape to the effect that
DeWet Is mentally irresponsible, is
ridiculed. The Echo says Reuters
agents have gone SO far astray In it's
during this war that
no sensible person will accept such a
report.
OAmsterdam April 11.-Kruger dis
believes the report that DeWet is
mentally unsound. He says the re-
port is based and prompted only by a
desire of the British to demoralize
the Boer commandoeS in Cape Colony
which lately achieved several success.
