Lomiii.n, March 11, 2 :tiO a. m. In this

seat of -.vr.r, rpt dilution ib rife regarding
the probability of an oar) y ponce. Preti

(or n cessation of lioBtilitii'B, announced
Friday, ih taken b foreshadowing that
the ond will fcoon bo in Bight. The jjov
crninunt'a views aro prohiibly enunciated
in tho following Henii-ofliuinl statement
issued last night :
"It in understood f hut the government
does not consider that tbu time hna yut
euiati for any authoritative statement hb
to ultiniato tornm of pence, and no mem
ber of the cabinet has tuithorirjd any
linblie statement on tho eubjeet. It ie.
ofcotiw, generally undurBtood among
all political parties in this country that
eo fur an tho South African Republics
are concerned, tho Htntue quo ante helium
oamiol remain unaltered after tho close
of hostilities. Their part iu tho Bysteuj
which involved a large measure of po
litieal and military independence will,
of course, be inatoriully modified us a
result of the war, hut tho growing pro
epectB of ruutored peace must be further
advanced before Her Majesty's govern
ment can either finally formulate pro
posed tortus of settlement or make any
Announcement of their plan."
Olijert or lluller'a Move.
London, March 10. Spencer Wilkin
son summarized the situation in South
Africa, for the Associated Press, at mid
night, ae follows :
"Tho lighting reported near Help
makaiir i probably ouly the result of a
reconmtieBnnce, and it seems to me to be
premature to ussume that any move
ment iu lame force is iu progress in that
direction. General Duller, as soon as
communications are in order, will cer
tainly do what lie can iu order to keep
tho Lour force in Natal engaged, and
to prevent thorn all from being uaod to
reinforco the army resisting Lord Ro b

The actiou of the committee effectually
tables all leasing propositions, as well us
the plans proposed for ceding the public
domain to the respective ftatc., nnd
practically forestalls any such legislation
during this congress. Consequentully,
the leasing bills of Senator Foster and
Representatives Mondell and Stephens
ore dead issues, bo far 113 the present

dispel nil anxiety ovr the anticipated
danger consequent upon the withdrawing
from settlement or the leasing of public

London, March 11. Several papers
announca that the government Tuesday
received five messages from President
Kruger and President Steyn, in Dutch,
asking upon what terms u cessation of
hostilities could bo brought about. The
meesagefl surprised and delighted the de
partment concerned. While their tenor
was understood, it was found necessary
to summon persons thoroughly capable
of accurately interpreting the messages,
all of which were filed at Bloemfontein.
Tiie cabinet convened Wednesday to
consider the messages, and it is believed
an uncompromising reply was sent,
which is known to have readied Bloem
fontein by the same meanB as the Boer
cablegrams reached tho government. The
nature of the reply was such as to lead
to a further but gradual retirement of
the Boer forces,

weak I could'nt even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. 1 expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. I continued to use it,
and now am well and strong. I can't
say too much in its praise." This

and lung trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents

I'urpiMH of Krucfcr'ii Offer,
New Yoiik, March 10. "President
Kruger made his offer to eeasa hostili
lies in order that Great Britain mav be
responsible for the slaughter which is
inevitably coining to her troops," said
George Van Sicklen, of counsel to the
Boers in this country, today. "The
Boers have given England a chance to
retire after t he recent successes, and
Mr. Chamberlain's letting go the oppor
tunity makes him responsible for the
terrific carnage of the English soldiery
which must inevitably ensue. TheofTer
to cease hostilities was made in good
faith, ot coarse, but I have definite in
formation that it had this double pur
pose." Keinarkaule Cure of ItlieiiuiallNin,

A REPUBLI
CAN CAUCUS
The Porto Rico TarifT Bill is Giving tie
Politicians Trouble.
Washington, March 10. A Republi
can caucus will most likely be called to
organize the Republican members of the
senate on a definite, cogent line of action
and policy in regard to tho Porto Rico
bill and amendments. Senator Davis'
amendment was a veritable bombshell
in the usually quiet atmosphere which
has prevailed in the senate chamber, but
"sober second thought" convinces many
of the Republican senators that it meets
more happily the present exigencies
than any otiier substitute that could be
offered for the tariff on Porto Rico. Tfio
amendment extends the constitution to
Porto Rice by act of congress, and thus
harmonizes Republican principle. But
it immediately invites Democratic op
position, which contends that the con
stitution already operates in Porto Rico.
But the Porto Rican discussion is as yet
in its infancy in the senate, and any
'amount of developments may now be
expected. It is not unlikely that (he
Republican senators will agree on a plan
such as suggested by Senator Davis.
Another compromise suggested is to pass
the pouse bill introduced by Representa
tive Cannon authorizing the president
to apply the $2,000,000 collected from
duties on Porto Rico, and thuB tide over
the present emergency in the island.

is tiie ouly thing that lias done any
good whatever. I have used one bottle
of it and the chill?, cold and grip have
all left me. 1 congratulate the manu
facturers of an honest medicine." For
