CALLED ON KITCHENER.
Said to Have Been Eard-Pressed by
 the British for n Week.

Pretoria, March 23.-Acting Presi- dent Schalk-Burger, r. W. Reitz, eX- secretary of state of the Transyaal, and Commandants Lucas Meyer and Trough, with their secretaries and attendants, arrived here yesterday, March %. at 2:O4 p. m, on a special train from Balmoral, about fifty miles east of here. They came into Balmoral under a flag of truce.
 Upon arriving here Mr. Sehalk-Bur- ger and his party drove immediately to Lord kitchener's headquarters, where he had an interview with the British general.
 The Boers afterwatd proceeded to the railroad station and entrained at five o'clock for kroenstad, whence they will go out under a safe con duet.
 For week past Mr. Sehalk-Burger and his colleagues have been sta toned at Rhenoster Kop, north of Balmo<al, where they have been close " pressed by British columns. Dis patch riders entered Balmoral Friday night, and notified the British of the approach of Mr. Schali-Burger and his party.
 It is reported that the Boer posi- tion at Rhenoster Kop had become al- most hopeless and that Mr. Schalk- Burger once narrowly escaped cap ture.

The News in London.

London, March 24.-The news that the wandering Boer 'government" had entered the British lines is re- garded as having but one meaning, namely, that another attempt is be- ing made to negotiate peace. The fact that the censor passed the news of this movement is accepted as con firmation of this opinion. Nothing is actually known here of the intentions of Messrs. Sehalk-Burger, Reitz, Meyer and Krogh. It is possible they have only sought permission to traverse the British lines in order to consult with Mr. Steyn and the Boer Generals De Wet and Delarey. But whatever their object the news has been welcomed in London as pointing to the possibility of peace.
 Some correspondence, which was seized short time ago when Mr. Steyn narrowly escaped capture, proved that he and Mr. Schalk-Burger were anxious to conclude peace. No eXtrayagant hopes, however, are be- ing built on the outcome of the move ments of Mr. Sehalk-Burger and his companions, chiefly because it IS feared that Delarey, in the flush of his recent success, will refuse to be a party to any negotiations.
 The war office has informed a rep resentative of the press that it has received no official information either confirming or contradicting the news. Commandant Krogh is one of the sec retaries of the Boer government

They reached Balmoral under flag of truce. After short stay here they proceeded for the Orange River colony. It is be- lieyed they intend to see Lord kitch- ener, who is directing the operations against Delarey.

The Cholera at Manila.

Manila, March 24.-There have been four more cases of cholera here and two more deaths from the plague are reported. The health authorities be- lieve that their rigid precautions have averted an epidemic.
 As Gen. Chaffee did not want the men of the Third infantry to run the risk of cholera as result of con tact with the city, that regiment has already been taken aboard the Unit ed States transport Grant, which will sail for San Francisco ahead of time.
 Five cases of cholera have been re- ported from the provinces.

A half century ago the sword was consia- cred the best known weapon in warfare, but it is now being discarded hy the British sol diers and the modern rife is substituted. Many people throughout the country are also discarding old methods of trying to cure headache, nervousness, insomnia, indiges' tion and dyspepsia, and are using Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters, the old reliable rem edy for these ailments.
