PARIS. June 2-The question OF the re-
establishment OF the constitution in Cape
Colony, according to the Temps, "offers
menacing dilemma. If self-government
is suppressed, South Africa will be
thrown into a struggle infinitely more
dangerous for British supremacy than
was the war just ended. The re-estab-
lishment of the constitution means sur
render into the hands of the Afrikan-
ders."
The Journal des Debats, alluding to
Lord Kitchener's expression, surrender, -
says:
In reality, if the Beers accepted Eng
lands conditions, it is because the latter
only advanced such conditions that the
Beers declared they were ready TO ac-
cept. The interesting question now IS
whether the imperialist spirit engenders d
by the war viii survive or disappear with
the conclusion Of peace"
THE HAGUE, June 2.-The news of the
conclusion of peace in South Africa was
received here with very mixed feelings
While there is general satisfaction that
the war is ended, unvaryin ing regret is ex-
pressed at the loss of Boer freedom The
Boer delegates here are in a particularly
trying position. 1t has been learned here
on good authority that the British gov
ernment at the moment refused to allow
the Beers in South Africa to communi-
cate with their leaders in Europe, thus
the delegates on the continent were en-
tirely shut out OF the negotiations and
were ignorant even Of tic terms of sur
render, except as they learned Of them
through the newspa pers.
A Dutch official referring to the news
from South Africa said:
The delegates made a great mistake in
~ ~1rrrvv .
the Dutch government at the time Of the
overtures made by DR.. Kuypar, the
premier, which was that they apply for
safe conducts TO South Africa
AMSTERDAM, June 2-The Dutch
newspapers declare that Great Britain
will gain nothing from this UNJUST war"
and that her difficulties in South Africa
are now beginning. The papers generally
express admiration for the courage of the
Beers and remark that the sacrifices have
proved to be in vain.
BERLIN, June 2-The business classes
of Germany are glad that the war IN
South Africa is over, and expect TO share
in the new impulse to the business Of the
world resulting from the revival of hnan-
cial confidence in London. Some South
African orders which were placed with
Berlin houses during the month OF May,
conditional upon peace in South Africa,
will now be filed.
The Vossische Zeitung today publishes
an article in which it cautions its read
ers against indulging in over expectations
of the new condition in South Africa, be-
cause, the paper says, Mr. Chamberlain,
the colonial secretary, seems intent on re-
serving the colonial markets for the
mother country"
Opinions expressed by other newspapers
emphasize the idea that although the
war is ended political uncertainties in
South Africa will hinder development
there.
Almost all the newspapers today print
eulogies Of Boer valor and steadfastness,
and lament patheticalIy that the Boers
succumbed to a power a hundred fold
greater than their own.
BRUSSELS, June 2-The press here is
unanimous in declaring that the an
ncuncement Of peace In South Africa viii
be hailed with relief and satisfaction
throughout the world. lie Steele re-
marks: Great Britain win now have an
opportunity of displaying her magnanim-
ity and Of converting her late brave foes
into faithful and efficient allies
VIENNA, June 2-The news of the
signing of terms Of peace in South Afri-
ca was received here with general satis-
faction. The Austrian minister Of COM
merce. Baron Carl zu Rosenburg und
Kulabach, in an interview, said:
There is no question that the news
VIII create the greatest satisfaction, not
only in Austria-Hungary but through
out Europe. which is bound to snare in
the benefits of trade development IN the
Transvaal under British rule. The Aus
trian Lloyds will undoubtedly soon re-
sumo it's steamship service TO South Afrf-
can ports, which was interrupted BY the
war
