Overture to Oreut ltritain in the Interests of I'ciu c in South Africa. Washington, March 14. The United States government made certain rep resentation through Ambassador Choate yesterday to the British gov ernment in the interest of peace in South Africa. L'ncle Sam did not offer to mediate, but simply transmitted tho communications made to United States Consul Adelbert S. llay at 1'retoria, with theaccompaiiyin assurances that anything the state department could do in the interests of peace would be gladly undertaken. The offer of media tion sprang from 1'retoria, where Hay, with the other consuls, subsequent to Presidents Krujrer and Steyn sending their peace cablegram to Lord Salis bury, were asked to endeavor to se cure the good offices of their respective governments. apparently with the view of bringim; outside influence to bear upon Lord Salisbury's reply to the Boer overtures. Salisbury reply, as jriven by a brief cable, was -a courteous declination of the good ottices of the United States in the premises, in fact Salisbury had already replied to the Boer propo sition for peace on terms proposed by - Kruger and Steyn by a decided nega tive. Up to the time the cabinet meet ing adjourned yesterday no answer had liecn received from the British government to the representations made through Choate. Iu view of this fact it was decided by the cabinet that it would not be proper at present to make any statement relative to the part which the United States govern ment is taking in the effort to term inate the war; that the United States, being nothing more than an intermedi ary, is not justified in betraying the secrets of the principals. It is stated on the highest authority that in its present capacity the Unit ed States government is not a mediator, but is simply a "go-between." Not a 6ingle proposition to serve as a basis of a peace agreement between Great Britain and the Boer republics was set out in the communication to Lord Salisbury. All that was ventured In this first overture was an inquiry as to what Great Britain was likely to demand as to the price of stopping the war. To have gone further and have proposed terms on our own account might have placed the United States in the position of an uninvited media tor. I'KOPUSAL Ol KltlGKK AND STKTN. 'Telegrams Exchanged Itetneen Salisbury and the lioer Chiefs. London, March 14. A parliamentary paper containing the telegrams sent to the British government by the presi dents of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State, and Great Britain's reply thereto, was issued yes terday after-on. It first gives the telegram sent by the two presidents to the Marquis of Salisbury as follows: "Bloemfontcin. March 5. The blood and the tears of thousands who have suffered by this war and the prospect j of all moral and economic ruin where- with South Africa is now threatened make it necessary for both belligerents to ask themselves dispassionately and as in the sight of the Triune God for what are they lighting, and whether the aim of each justifies all this ap palling misery and devastation. "With this objec t, and in view of the assertions of various British states men to the effect that this war was begun and Is being carried on with the set purpose of undermining her maj estv's authority in South Africa and of setting up an administration over nil nf South Africa independent of her maiestv's government, we consider it our duty to solemnly declare that this war was undertaken solely as a de fensive measure to maintain the threat ti.h! Indeiiendeuce of the South Afri can Republic, and is only continued in order to secure and maintain tne in contestable independence of both re- imblics as sovereign international states and to obtain the assurance that those of her maiestv's subiects who have taken part with us in this war shall suffer no harm whatever in person or property. "On these conditions but on these conditions aloue are we now.as In the past, desirous of seeing peace re established in South Africa; while if her majesty s government is deter ined to destroy the independence of the republics there is nothing left to us and to. our people but to iersevere to the end in the course already begun. in spue or tne overwueimlng pre eminence of the British empire we are confident that that God who lighted the unextlnguishable fire of love of freedom in the hearts of. onrsolres jnd ' of our fathers will not forsake us and ' will accomplish His work in us and In our descendants. "We hesitated to make this declara- j tion earlier to your excellency, as we feared that as long as the advantage was always on our side, and as long as our forces held defensive positions far within her majesty's colonies, such a declaration might hurt the feelings and honor of the British ueoole. But i now that the prestige of the Britlab. j empire may be considered to tn as sured by the capture or one or enr forces by her majesty's troops, and that we have thereby been forced to evacuate other positions "which our forces had occupied, that difficulty is over, and we can no longer hesitate to clearly inform your government and people in the sight of the whole civil ized world, why we are lighting and on what conditions we are ready to re store peace." The Marquis of Salisbury to the presidents of the South African Re public and the Orange Free State: "Foreign Office. March 11. I have the honor to acknowledge your honors' telegram, dated March 5, from Bloem fontein, of which the purport is prin cipally to demand that her majesty's government shall recognize 'the Incon testable independence' of the South African Republic and Free State as lie, of which the object was to obtain redress for certain very serious griev ances under which the British resi dents in South Africa were suffering. In the course of these negotiations the South African Republic had, to the knowledge of her majesty's govern ment, made considerable armaments, and the latter had consequently taken frteps to provide corresponding rem forcementg of the r,rItish garrisons at Cape Town aml in Natal lint l. u wx. - M-m. lu asv j side. Suddenly, at two days' notice, I the South African republic, after Is- suing an insulting ultimatum, declared war ujion her majesty; and the Orange Free State, with whom there had not even been any discussion, took a simi lar step. Her majesty's dominions were immediately Invaded by the two republics. Siege was laid to three towns within the British frontier, a large portion of two colonies was overrun with great destruction of prop erty and life, and the republics claimed to treat the inhabitants of extensive portions of her majesty's dominions as if those dominions had been annexed to one or the other of them. "In anticipatin of these operations the South African republic had been accumulating for many years past military stores on an enormous scale, which by their character could only have been intended for use against Great Britain. Your honors make some observations of a negative character upon the object with which these preiKirations were made. I do not think it necessary to discuss the ques tions you have raised. But the result of these preparations carried on with great secrecy has been that the British empire lias been compelled to confront an invasion which has entailed upon the empire a costly war and the loss of thousands of precious lives. "This great calamity has been the penalty Great Britain has suffered for having of recent years acquiesced in the existence of two republics. In view of the uses to which the two re piiblies have put the position which was given them, and the calamities their unprovoked attacks have inflict ed on her majasty's dominions, her majesty's government can only an swer your honors telegram by saying that they are not prepared to assent to the Independence erther of the South African republic or the Orange Free State."

South Iteiul Ioctor Having' Kinds of Trouble. All Justice Archer Kefatti to (irant Hli Re ((jest to Ilarc August Newman Placed I udrr is Hotid to Keep the. Peace Trouble Brew-ins; Between Two ruc tions In That Village. Justice Arcbsr heard the case of the State of Nebraska vs. F. August New man Wednesday afternoon. This case c:ime up from South Bend the Ken tucky if Nebraska and hss its direct outcome from the cases which are now pend ng against Dr. Isaac D. Jone in justice court. Tho doctor appeared as tho complaining witness agniust tho defendant, and asked that the court place the latter under a pence warrant, tlieging, among other things, that Newman had accosted him on the street at South Bend, while in an intoxic Ued condition, and offered to llht him a duel with pistols, and al-o that Newman had threatened to "meet him again," or words to that effect. For this reason he asked the law to protect him. ' Z T. Jarman, J hn Iltty and D Klein appeared as witnesses for the state. Newman testified that he had heard that the doctor had expressed himself to tho effect that ho would do a little shouting if ho "w:.sn't let alone," and, beinir something of a g od shot him self, he thought ho would ask the doc tor about the matter. They quarreled, naturally, and the testimony showed that Newman had emphasized his re mai ks by placing his fist in c oe prox imity tq tho doctor's nose, but further than that no harm had been done. VVar.eu Burkirk, Oliver Hunter, W. J. O'Brien, F. L. Ill il snd E Stu z m egger were witnesses fo the defence, and the evidence went mainly to show that Newman had na revolver at tae time of the trouble, and th it he haa not been the possessor of one for a number of eari. County attorney Hoot conducted the prosecution and Mitlhew Gerinji nppeared lor the de fendant. Justice Archer britfly reviewed tho testimony, and stated that he c uld and t othing whiih would warrant Lim in placing the dtfecdact under a bond to keep tho peace, nd accordingly or dered him discharged. It i- said there are two factio- 9 at Sou;h Bend licerse and anti-license and the latter are determined to i-.bol-i?h ti e only s.-loon iu that neighbor hood. In the meajirme the commun ity is gradually becoming more stirred up, nnd the outcome cf the contro versy will be watched with deep Inte est.
