OUR LONDON LETTER.

(From our own Correspondent.)

LONDON, January 31st. THE PROPHECY OF MR. CECIL RHODES,, of which montion was made in the last letter, has received a measure of falfilment mors

Mr. Balfour made his brief announcement in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon, the general public has entered with enthusiasm into that feeling of expectation which has been noticeable in the precincts of Parliament, ever since the session opened.

"Mr. Labouchere having asked if His Maj. esty's Government had received any applicas tions in regard to proposals for the termination of the war, since the negotiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha," the First Lord of the Treasury replied:→

"No overtures for peace, fave been received from anyone authorized to speak on behalf of the Boers. A communication was however received late on Saturday last from the Dutch Government, which is now under consideration." I propose to lay on the table as soon as I am able to do so, a copy of the communication, and of our reply,"

It cannot be said that this pronouncemeat is particularly definite or encouraging, but un- doubtedly a hopeful feeling exists, though, un- loss the 'Dutch Premier is speaking with the consent, and so to speak, on behalf of the Gen-

erals in the field, it is difficult to sea in what way

his intervention differs from those other offers of kindly offices, which have from time to time emanated in n guarded way from Foreign Governments. The Bocta in Europe deny that Dr. Kuyper was in any sense speaking for them, It is of course true that since Dr. Leyds makes this statement, the probability of its incorrect. ness is greatly increased-otherwise the dispas sionate onlooker would be inclined to agree that the Kruger entourage has nothing to gain and something to lose by the proclamation of peace, and that therefore overtures from Hilversum are unlikely. There is however, the chance that the Dutch Premier has heen in communi. cation with Botha and Schalk Burger, a chance which I find to be more generally accepted as probable than on the face of it would seem likely, It is also freely rumoured both in military and political circles that peace pro: posals have reached Lord Kitchener from the Commando leaders. If this be really true then

Dr. Kuyper's part in the scheme is obvious--- he was acting the part of advance guard in Europe, in order to give weight to the condi- tions which it is evident the Boers still hope to get from us. Military events are progressing so rapidly in South Africa, that if. formal na gotiations are ever to be initiated by the enemy it will have to be very soon, or the process of

attrition will leave no one to conduct them.

So many statements-allon excellent out- hority "have been brought forward as to the terms of submission which Dr. Kuyper is understood to have submitted, that it is not

is almost extinct. At the Admiralty-in- deed, the officials stoutly maintain that the re-appearance of the missing vessel is still anticipated, and that ships-of-war have been. fast sight of for much longer than eight weeks without the worst fears being realized. But the discovery of a ship's boat, and the recovery of some personal effects of an officer, has greatly added to the gloomy forebodings of the public, and the terrible anxiety of the relatives of those rio gallant fellows who formed the crew, and some of whom it is still permissible to hope may have survived even if the vessel herself is lost.
