In the meanwhile the fate of Mafe i in? remains unknown. The revolt of he Cape Dutch in the l ithcast seems to have had its back 1 re ken and it is likely General Kitch < m*r w ill soon resume his place besidv his chief.

The caucus on the tariff will be gin work today.

His deep politna* intuition, combined with his bold stiat egy, is having the result desired in t southern sections of the Orange l Ftate, which are rapidly calming down Mafeking is now the only point fot anxiety. and as it is known that a fone has left Kimberley its relief may announced before many days pass. 1 he t fflcacy of’ the relieving column heightened by the fact that it is parti* composed of regulars. In the lobbies of parliament Iasi evening it was rumored that Lord Ron erts is about to issue a proclamation announcing that the former system ot government in the Orange Free Stat* i< abolished and promising the Free Staters who immediately surrendered due consideration. It is understood that all the conn nental powers, with one exception, un compromisingly refused to intervene The exception was Russia, whose re ply was couched in less firm language although, like the others, she decline ’ to interfere. It is said the pope aL > v as appealed to. but he declined to e. > any thing beyond writing a letter to the queen, appealing to her to st >p the further effusion of blood.

Londoners Confident tlint Hostilities Will Cease in May. LONDON, March 19.—Predictions and bets are being made that the war will be ended bv the middle of May. The news from Sooth Africa today is entirely satisfactory to the British public. The relief of Mafeking is not yet announced, but this may have been already accomplished by Colonel Plu mer’s advance. Lady Charles Ben tmek, at Capetown, has received a tele gram from her husband in Mafeking oaten March 12. saying that he ex pected to join her shortly. The actual relief movements have rot been publicly developed in detai’, but it seems that Lord Methuen onlv started very recently and is rather en gaged in dispersing the Boers of th .* district than aiming at actual relief.
