Athletic Sports. During the recent operations in the Freener and unfounded imputations contained in State, and the rout of the Boers near Poplar's Grove, President Kruger was present. We strove by every means in his power to rally and stop the flight of the Boors, but utterly failed, the Free Staters particularly being thoroughly demoralised and disheartened.

Peroo overtures.

A telegram received dated March 11th, say's that reports continue to come in regarding the wish of the enemy to make peace.

The Central Neies says definitely that the two Presidents have sent no less than five telegrams asking for our terms.

The telegrams were discussed at the Cabinet Meeting on Wednesday,

the protests.

The publication of these State document has excited considerable feeling in the country, and The Times, states that the correspondence throws light on the brutality of the German Press, and the insults to which English visitors have recently been subject at Dresden.

Germany's Roason for Non-

Intervention.

The German Government denies the state- ment that it declined to intervene between Great Britain and the South African Republics because it was in nowise, concerned' in the conflict.

given.

LONDON, March 11th.

The rumour that the Presidents of the South; African Republics are suing for peace is goin ing ground, and some papers muke definite assertions on the point.

The Daily Mail states that at Pretoria the highest officials believe that the plain uncom promising statement of the British intentions reveals that the basis of negotiations made the independence of the two Republics imperative

LONDON, March 12th.

The Standard states that Government will shortly athrm the impossiblity of a perpetual recognition of independence of the Transvaal and Free State, as it was that condition which led to the war.

There now appears to be a deadlock in the Regotiations, and the war will continue, unless Presidents Kruger and Steyn find that public opinion in both the Transvaal and the Free State is too strong to resist.

It is stated that the Boers, especially of the older generation are anxious for peace at any price, and many are already returning to their farms.

The Fines correspondent, wiring from l'op- lar Grove, says that the submission of the Free State is expected within a week.

Preparing for the End,

The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Cape Town wires that the Boers are sending enormous supplies to Spefouken, on the ex treme, north of the frontier, to put General Joubert's any in readiness for a final stand. Alleged capture of Mafeking Forts. The Boers claim that they have captured ali the outside forts defending Mafeking except one, and; regarding that, the capitulation ofthe garrison is hourly expected.

No news has yet been received of the force which left Kimberley to relieve Mafcking.

The Presidents Confer. Presidents Kruger and Steyn, conferred on Monday, and, an arriving at a conclusion,

The Boer Presidents' Appeal.

LONDON, March 14th. - The appeal of the Boer Presidents is an unclutoys and insolent document. It reiterates the incontestable independence of both Re- publics as Sovereign States. It demands an amesty for all participators in the war. confident in God, who lighted the inextinguish Otherwise, it proceeds. "we will persevere, able love of freedom in our hearts. He will accomplish His work in us. We hesitated so long as the advantage was on our side, fearing to hurt the feeling of the British, but, now that Dritish prestige is assured by the capture of our forces, we are obliged to inform the world of the conditions whereon we are ready to restore peace." +

The Premier's Reply. Lord Salisbury, in reply, ignores, the allusion to amnesty. He insists that the war prepara tions in the Transvaal during the peaceful nego ciations concerning the serious grievances of British residents were so enormous that the only possible intention must have been to use them against Britain.

Suddenly, after an

insulting ultimatum, the Republic declared war, and it was joined by the Orange Free State, wherewith there had never been any discussion. Our penalty for acquiescing in the existence of the Republics has been the inva sion of two British Colonies, great destruction of life and property, and a costly war entailing the loss of thousands of lives resulting there. from. The British Government are not pre- pared to assent to the independence of either Republic.

This reply was read in Parlament umid unbounded applause, but the conclusion is generally regarded as short of the mark. ***

General White.

General White is apparently going to East London, joining the Fifth Division. His re- ception at Maritzburg, though informal, was enthusiastic. He is described as lame and fee-

it is stated they received a reply that the terms proposed were impossible.

General Joubert Resigns.

It is reported from Cape Town that General Joubert has resigned the chief command of the Hoer Army, and has been succeeded by Gene- ial Botha. No reason is assigned for the step, but it is haleved that the Boers lieve quite lost confidence in the old leader's ability to successfully oppose the progress of Lord Roberts.

Another version is that General Joubert and President Kruger have quarrelled as to the proper conduct of the campaign.

Independence Impossible.

The Standard states the Home Government will shortly affirm the impossibility to the per petuation of the independence of the Transvaal and the Free State, as it was that condition which led to the war.

It reported at Cape Town that General Joubert has resigned the command to Com. fandant Botha, General Joubert and President Kruger having quarrelled over the conduct of the war.

White Flag Treachery. Lord Roberts and several members of his staff witnessed on Sunday a gross abuse of the white flag and the treachery of the enemy. A large force of Boers was in imminent peril of being annihilated, when they hoisted the white flag. The British advanced to receive their surrender, whereupon another section fired repeated volleys into our men,

Lord Roberts has sent a strong protest to President Kruger and President Steyn against such dastardly conduct, threatening to disregard the white fag in future. He has also requested the British Government to communicate his protest to the neutral Powers,

Boer Mobility.

The enemy'a mobility and adroit and skilful moving of their guns were most remarkable on Saturday, and defeated the strategy of Lord Roberts. He attempted to turn their flank, but the movement began too lato and our ammuni.. tion ran short. The consequence was that the enemy escaped complete annihilation,

Mediation Asked:

LONDON, March 13th. It seems clear that the Boers have addressed appeals for help not only to Germany, but to the whole Continent and America.

The news has excited a strong feeling in England, though no foreign country has yet shown any inclination to help the enemy.

The Times, in the course of a strong leader on the subject, says: We are glad that Ame rica and the Continent understand that offers of mediation would be distinctly repugnant to, and wholly inadmissible by, the nation. Wa mean to settle this business in our own way."

Canada and the War.

LONDON, March 14th Perhaps the most important debate that has ever taken place in the Candian House of Commons was that on the participation of the!! Dominion in the war in South Africa. The -enthusiasm was immense,

ion has entirely turned in his favour.
