FreiM-u WTniMncr of, Rloenifuiitciu ily Mean a ew Phase of OjH-ratious at Front. London, March 14. In tbe bonne of fords late jeaterday tbe premier, Lord BalUbiwT. read tb Itrltinb government'a reply to Presidents Kruger and Bteyn, wbieb ia in part aa follows: I .nave the bonor to acknowledge your Donors' t e lepra m, of wbicb tbe purport la principally to demand tbat bar majeaty'a government shall recognise tb Inconteatlble independence of tb Booth African republic and tbe Oranire Free State aa sovereign international states, and to offer, In tbose term, to bring tbe war to a conclusion. "Her majesty's government can only answer your honors' telegram by saying It la not prepared to assent to tbe Independence of eltber tbe South African republic or tbe Orange Free State." Tbe United States government, at the request of President Kruger and President Steyn, bas offered to tbe British government Its services as mediator, with tbe view of bringing bout peace In 'South Africa. Tb United States charge d'affaires, Henry White, saw Irl Salinbury at tbe foreign office and rcelved a formal reply from tbe British government politely declining tbe good offices of tbe United States in regard to peace. Tbe Times, commenting editorially this morning upon tbe reply of Lord Salisbury to tbe message from the Boers' presidents, says: 'The government was given tbe ouly conceivable reply to the extraordinary Kmgerfciteyn telegram, a reply which will be balled with profound satisfaction throughout the empire. We are sincerely glad to see the attitude the liulted States bas assumed in transmitting tbe proiosals. Washington's services of course have been declined." To Dally Chronicle says: The worst enemies of tbe lioers could not have anticipated the full extent and audacity of their demands. President VlcKlnley haa Ik-cii forced -by the exigencies of his position to approach Lord Salisbury with a harmless intimation of his readiness to exercise his good offices. When he reads tbe correspondence he will feel thankful that be has not compromised himself with gm n that is now resolved Into tb arrogant eSMrreAnfrZirRfir. -1 AFFAIRS AT BIXKMFONTEI! gatrlltgenoes Heirardins; Gen. French' Entrance Vague but Conclusive. London, March 14. Nothing can be said of the advance ou Bioemfontein beyond Lord KoIktIs' own dispatches, announcing that Gen. French had arrived there. Nothing more has been permitted to come through. Doubtless Lord Huberts himself Is fully occupied with important military operations. The dispatch from Cape Town saying that Gen. French has "Arrived nt Bioemfontein," probably does not mean tbat he bas entered tbe city. Lord Roberts' messages may mean ttber tbat the Boers have cut the railway to the north or tbat the British cavalry have done so. If the former then It may be presumed that no rolling stock has been seized, but by general assumption the latter Interpretation Is regarded as correct. This would greatly facilitate obtaining supplies from Orange river, an Important tuatter. as Lord Roberts' Hue of communi cation at Modder bridge Is now 110 miles long. Tbe Boers may make another fight but there is little doubt that Lord Roberts will occupy Bioemfontein to day. Tbe Boers retiring from Orange river will flud themselves between two British armies and their guns are almost tiound to fall Into the hands f the British, while the occupation of the capital of the Free State will strain the alliance of tbe two republics to the utmost. The government will not allow the Kruger-Steyn appeal to influence In any way their determination not to spare an effort to prosecute the war. There will be no diminution of measures calculated to maintain the full efficiency of the field force and what ever reinforcements were previously considered advisable will still be sent out. Lord Salisbury' reply meets with unanimous approval among conservatives and It 1 the universal opinion tbat be lioers, by their extravagant claims and canting toue. meant to in fluence foreign powers, have again ver reached themselves, aa they did by the ultimatum. Trouble Between Zulu. Lebotnbo. via I-oureuzo Marques. March 14. Trouble Is expected between Chief Ogelequana and Chief tTmhocase In British Zululand. The Boers are anxious tbat the chiefs should quarrel and they are prepared to support the former, as Is also tbe Swasi queen. Tbe Zulu king, how ver, uphold Umbogaaa. CHURCHILL HAS FOREBODINGS Expert War Correspondent Feels That Darker Fbaae Will xet tome. London. March 14. Winston ChurchIll wires to the Morning Post from Durban, protesting against the cere monious treatment of Gen. Cronje. lie add: Tbe stern decision not to ex change prisoners will undoubtedly ac celerate the end of the war, but It will prove very hard, and perhaps even dangerous, for the British prison era at Pretoria. There is abundant evidence that the Boers are becoming more cruel and the war will enter a darker phase. It ia very doubtful If the Boer government will be able to control the wild passions of the exasperated ruffllans, forming the noisy sjart of tb Bor for la tha exeat

of a lira- ot Psetorti, and tbe position ot tbe HiitlMb prlMonrr would theu be

come precarious. I have visited tbe dam wbieb tb Boers begun on Klip river below Ladj.inltu. If it bad been completed it would bare submarged Intoiubi camp, where titer war 2,000 sick."

We may preserve amicable relations with the United states ana it is to oe hoped we always will do so but alliance is impossible.

TAYLOR! CHARGE i - i .--M ' Kentucky War Cloud Has Happily Blown Orer For the Present.

THE COURT WILL DECIDE In tfce Meantime Got. Taylor Cobtinues to Be Governor No More , Arrests to Be Made. A Perfect Understanding Has Been Arrived at Between the Two - Adjutant Generals. 1 Frankfort. Ky., March 14. The legislature of Kentucky adjourned sine (lie last evening. A conference between Adjutant Generals Collier and Caatleman resulted In a perfect understanding being reached. Gov. Taylo .wul continue to act aa governor. UeT. Beckham will make no move toward securing possession f the state buildings until after the court of appeals has decided the disputed governofthlp. Tbe legislature appropriated $H0.000 for the use of Gov. Beckham in reorganizing tbe state militia. ; Among the more conservative element In each party the opinion prevails that the worst is over, and that when the court of appeals renders Its lecision. the danger of civil war In the amnion wealth, which has been terribly imminent, will entirely have passed away. To the Democratic leaders with a full understanding of the situation, only one cloud appears on tbe political horlson. that Is Gov. Taylor's future course. Gov. Taylor himself will not outline his plan of action, beyond the statement that he will "continue to act as j governor." Republicans In Gov. Taylor's confidence, however, say that he will remain at Frankfort in the diaeharge of his duties until tbe court of last resort passes upon the question at Issue. Then If tbe decision be against bun he will step out at once and turn over the state buildings to Gov. Beckham.' Tbe Republicans will make every effort to carry the dispute Into the federal court in case the decision of tbe court of appeals, the supreme court of Kentucky, is against them, but falling in this, they will consider tbe question settled, though still believing a great wrong bas been done theiu. .The Democratic leaders assert that they .will cheerfully abide by the decision of the court of apppeala. But should the decision be In their favor they will insist upon the occupancy of the state buildings, peaceably, if possible, but forcibly. If necessary, as It was expressed yesterday. Not until that decision is rendered will further action be taken. This much waa decided at the conference between Adjutant Generals Castleman and Col lier, which lasted a greater part of the afternoon and at which a perfect ontaade to allow matters to remain In statu quo at present. By this the Republicans understand that no further arrests will be attempted, and no prosecutions made of the state officers or of tbe sate militia serving under Gov. Taylor. Tbe final adjournment In both houses was taken shortly after 6 o'clock and the evening trains from iankfort were crowded with legis lators retiming to their homes. Today the city is practically deserted by poli ticians, and beyond a few soldiers in the capitol square, little remains tj show how near Kentucky has been to civil war.
