The British press continues in the

affairs brings home the enormous diffi

in patrolling and policing duch im
mense tracts of country, even when
the Boers shall be finally subdued.
The Daily Mail, which makes a strong
appeal to the government to "face the
facts and send Lord Kitchener more
troops," says: "There is a real risk
in being lulled to sleep by carefully
censored messages."
Lord Kitchener, according to a dis
patch from Johannesburg, has issued a

It ia questionable whether his proc
lamation will have mnch effect until
General Dewet ia captured. - The Boera
are likely to regard it aa a sign of
weakness and to have a wholesome
dread of vengeance if they surrender. 1
The proclamation is approved by the
party at home that favors ooncilitory
terma to the Boers as a step in the
right direction.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has an
proved the proposal to izistitnte a new
order of knighthood to reward officers
who have served in Bouth Africa.
The order will probably be called the
Star of Africa.

Honolulu at the time of the .bubonic
plague outbreak. It appears that the
Chinese claims are less than was at
first estimated, and that the totak of
the Chinese and Japanese claims are,
approximately, 91,800,000. The Chi
nese government has not been in a
condition, of late, to exert preasnre in
behalf of the claims of its citiaens, bnt
the Japanese authorities have been ac
tively looking out for the losses sus
tains.! by their countrymen, and now
seem to be in a fair war of securing
partial remuneration. Governor Dole
suggested a short time ago that the
matter be referred , to the Hawaiian
legislature, and this 'was approved by

adjusting the matter. There app-rs
to be little doubt tbat the legislature
will authorize a settlement.
