KEENAN, Saw the Crater.

The story related by Mr.. Clerc is
also quite interesting. Mr.. Clerc says:
Mr.. KEENAN, and his party have
been with me. We got around the
mountain and reached the new crater
not far from Ajoupa Bouillon We
discovered that it had broken out at
the very head of the River Falaize,
and about 200 yards from the high
road. Our party rode directly
to the edge of the crater
as it was then quiescent. We saw that
a great slice of mountain had fallen,
leaving exposed perpendicular cliff.
In this cliff were five huge tunnels,
which were not smoking. The crater
is a great, sloping oval depression,
from which smoke issues, as it does
from the great crater, with the excep-
ton that here and there were few
ashes in the smoke. The River Fa-
laize is boiling hot and so muddy that
one quart of water weighed four
pounds. Volcanic stones of the nature
of pumice float in this water
Mr.. KEENAN, witnessed the explosion
of Monday night and was much in
terested in the phenomena. The ex-
piosion was accompanied atintervals by
bright light, which lasted for hall an
hour at a time. This light was steady
and Illuminated, the entire mountain

this light. l left Mr.. KEENAN, and his
party in good health and in
safety. They seemed TO be in no hurry
to come back to Fort de France
Yesterdays Explosion.
The explosion of this morning was
accompanied by an enormous column
of smoke, which rose fully three miles
into the air, but which was largely
hidden from the view of the people of
Fort de France by a heavy cumulus.
There was consequently no panic here.
This column of smoke was seen from
the British cruiser interchangeable while
she was at sea. The interchangeable ar
rived here this morning to make an
other attempt to recover the body of
the British consul at st. Pierre, Mr..
Jepp and the archieves of the con-
sulate. With this end in view, the
British cruiser proceeded this after
noon for St. Pierre but the explosion
of this morning has probably made it
impossible to effect a landing there.

WILL TERMINATE THE WAR.
But Daily Chronicles Information
Does Not Seem to BE OfIiciaI.

London, May 29.-The Daily Chron-
icle this morning declares that the
negotiations. which will practically be
concluded in the course of the present
week, will witness the termination of
the war in South Africa The paper
says it understands that the govern
ment has declined to grant the rebels
unqualified amnesty or to fix a date
for the establishment of self-govern-
ment, and that English will probably
be the official language in the two col
onies.
Against this idea of a speedy an
nouncement of peace is the decision.
reached in Parliament yesterday. to
debate the education bill next Mon
day and to postpone further the de-
bate on the budget which seems to
show that affairs in South Africa may
require a greater period of time for
settlement.
1t is now regarded as certain that
the amberlain party will be victori-
Gus and that the government has de-
cided to retain the tax on grain. Mr.
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
is again indisposed and some people
believe his indisposition merely dip
lomatic."
