In Oerraany Realy to Assist In Mediation When the Condition Shall Present Themselves. Betbulle, March IU. Gon. Gataere's scouts hare occupied IKprlnsjfonteln. The eouiitry in clear of the enemy. The main colutuu is following the coins. Vanzjl. March hi. The brld-je over the Orange rivor lre ham bwu completttl. The BrilUli forces have crossed and they are Livouackii on Free State soil. Ithiemfontfin, March 1G. It Is safe to say that the Itoers have couiletely colluixeU in the Free State south of this jKiut. The ISritisU cavalry patrols, going as far as the M udder river have found no hIkii of the enemy. The briiljje is untouched. Altogether 400 lioers have come In here to surrender. I-oiiflon, March 17. With the railway co nun nnii a Hon to the Cape intact Lord Kolierta will in a very few days be In a position to legin the advance on Pretoria. His deep political intuition, combined with his bold strategy, ' Is having the result desired in the southern sections of the Orange Free State, which are rapidly calmiugdown. Mafcklng is now the only point for anxiety ami as It is known that a force has left Klmtterley, Its relief may le announced N-fore many days pass. The efficiency of the relieving eolumn Is heightened by the fact that It is partly composed of regulars. In the lobbies of parliament lat ev ening it was rumored that Iord Rob erta la nlxnit to Issue a proclamation announcing that the former system of government in the Orange Free State Is niHiIislifil, and promising Free Hfaters who Immediately surrender due consideration. It Is understood that all the continental powers, with one exception, uncompromisingly refused to Intervene. The exception was Kussla, whose reply was eonched In less firm language, although. like the others, she declined to Interfere. It Is said that the pope was also appealed to, but that he declined to do anything beyond writing a letter to the o;neen. appealing to her to stop the f :j-ther effusion of blood. tnuta. Johannesburg Is still discussed here, bnt It is believed that the French and German shareholders would offer a strong protest. The latest advices respecting the surrender of Rloemfontein show that the approach of the Hrltlsh caused a stampede. Thirteen trains, each composed of 40 cars, and all crammed with Boers, hurried northward just before the line wns cut. Mr. Steyn would have been compelled to surrender, but he pretended that he wns going to 'visit one of the outposts, and at midnight took a carriage which was waiting for him outside the town and thus escaped. The P.oers got the bulk of their wagons and military stores away. Ijort! Itotvrta Dispatches. Ljondon. Marcn 17. Lord Uoberts has sent the following dispatch to the war offlce: Iiloeinfontein.

"The resident commissioner of Ba utoland reports that tM Itoers lately arrived from Bloemfoutein. and a further contingent from Aliwal. North was only waiting to know the terms of my proclamation to surrender. They had refused to attend a council at Kroenstadt to which President Steyn bad summoned them." Canse Is Hopeless. London.

Pretoria. via Lorenzo Marines, March 16. The German consul has handed - the following dispatch tc President Kruger: The government of Germany and the emperor will be glad and ready to assist in friendly mediation as soon as the fundamental conditions to such are apparent; as soon as it is demonstrated that both opponents desire mediation. Whether the desire already exists on the British side can be found by. the republics on direct Inquiry at London or through the good offices of a third 30VC.-1. -"eat. which has no important interests of its otui to con-

silT In Sonfh Africa. The'Iatter assumption Is o"a"fi-d with a number of nations In and outside Europe, but not with Germany.'' Any such step on the part of the German government would awaken suspicions and have other than a humanitarian view. The Inorised mistrust thereby engendered wouM nt promote a peaceable settlement. The request of the repnbllcs to transmit their appeal for mediation to the An.sTro-IIuturarlan and Swiw SorerrimenfB. whose Interests are watched by tbe Herman consnlafe, has lecn lminisllately fulfilled."
