KRUGER’S PLEA IS REJECTED
England Declares Emphatically That the War
ITust Go On to the Bitter End.
LORD SALISBURY’S REPLY
Text of Telegram Sent By Presi
dents Kruger and Steyn Ask
ing For Cessation of War.
A London special says: A parlia
mentary paper containing the tele
grams sent to the British government
by the presidents of the South African
republics and the Orange Free State
and Great Britain’s reply thereto was
issued Tuesday afternoon. The tele
gram of the two presidents was as
follows:
“Bloemfontein, March s. —The
blood and the tears of thousands who
have suffered by this war and the
prospect of all moral and economic
min wherewith South Africa is now
threatened make it necessary for both
belligerents to ask themselves dispas
sionately and as in the sight of the
tribune of God for what are they fight
ing and whether the aim of each jus
tifies all this appalling misery and de
vastation.
“With this object and in view of the
assertions of various British statesmen
to the effect that this war was begun
and is being carried on with the set
purpose of undermining her majesty’s
authority in South Africa and of set
ting up an administration over all of
South Africa independent of her ma
jesty’s government, we consider it our
duty to solemdly declare that this war
was undertaken solely as a defensive
measure to maintain the threatened
independence of the South African re
public, and is only continued in order
to secure and maintain the incontesta
ble independence of both republics as
sovereign international states and to
obtain tbo assurance that those of her
majesty’s subjects who have taken part
with us inthis war shall suffer no
harm whatever in person or property.
“On these conditions, and on these
conditions alone, are we now, as iu
the past, desirous of seeing peace re
established in the South Africa; while
if her majesty’s government is deter
mined to destroy the independence of
the republics, there is nothing left to
us and to our people but to persevere
to the end in the course already be
gun. In spite of the overwhelming
pre-eminence of British empire, we
are confident that that God who light
ed the unextingnishable fire of love of
freedom in the hearts of ourselves and
our fathres will uot forsake us and
will accomplish His work in us and in
our descendants.
“We hesitated to make the declara
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 people. But
now that the prestige of the British
empire may be considered to be as
sured by the capture of one of our
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 longer hesitate to
clearly inform your government and
people in the sight of the whole civil
ized world, why we are fighting and
on what conditions we are ready to re
store peace.”
LORD SALISBURY’S ANSWER.'
The marquis of Salisbury to the
presidents of the South African repub
lic and the Orange Free State:
“Foreign Office, March 11.—I
have the honor to acknowledge your
honors’ telegram dated March sth,
from Bloemfontein, of which the pur
port is principally to demand that her
majesty’s government shall recognize
‘the incontestable independence’ of the
South African republic and Free State
as ‘sovereign international states’ and
to offer on those terms to bring the
war to a conclusion.
“In the beginning of October last
peace existed between her majesty and
the two republics under conven
tions which were then in existence. A
discussion had been proceeding some
SNUFF TRUST UNDER WAY.
All of the Big Coinpanln Are Organizing
In tbe East.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says:
The recent negotiations of the Amer
ican and Continental Tobacco compa
nies to arrange for a consolidation of
the leading snuff interests of the coun
try are said to have been practically
completed and anew $25,000,000 com
pany will, it is stated, be organized to
take over all the snuff business of both
the Continental Tobacco and American
Tobacco companies as well as the At
lantic Snuff eompany and Helme Snuff |
company.
mouths between her mnjesly’s govern
ment and the South African republic,
of which the object was to obtain re
dress for certain very serious griev
ances under which the British resi
dents in South Africa were suffering.
In the course of those negotiations
the South African republic had, to the
knowledge of her majesty’s govern
ment, made considerable armaments,
and the latter had consequently taken
steps to provide corresponding rein
forcements of the British garrisons at
Cape Town and in Natal.
“No infringement of the rights guar
anteed by the conventions had, up to
that point, taken place on " the British
side. Suddenly, at two days notice,
the South African republic, after
issuing an insulting ultimatum, de
clared war upon her majesty; and the
Orange Free State, with whom there
had not been any discussion, took a
similar step.
“Her majesty’s dominions were im
mediately invaded by the two repub
lics. Siege was laid to three towns
within the British frontier, a large
portion of two colonies were overrun
with great destruction of property and
life, and the republics claimed to treat
the inhabitants of extensive portions
of her majesfy’s dominions as if those
dominions had been annexed to one or
the other of them. In anticipation of
these operations the South African re
public had been accumulating for
many years past military stores on an
enormous scale, which by their charac
ter could only have been intended
for use against Great Britian.
“Your honors make some observa
tions of a negative character upon
the object with which these prepara
tions were made. I do not think it
necessary to discuss the questions you
have raised.
“The result of these preparations,
carried on with great secrecy, has
been that the British empire has 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 to the existence of
the two republics.
“In view of the use to which the
two republics have put the position
which was given them and the calami
ties their unprovoked attack have in
flicted on her majesty’s dominions, her
majesty’s government can only answer
your honor’s telegram by saying that
they are not prepared to assent to the
independence either of the South Af
rican republic or the Orange Free
State.”
CURRENCY BILL A LAW.
House Passes Heasure By Vote of
166 to 120 and It Is Sent to
the President.
A Washington special says: Tues
day’s debate in the house on the con
ference report on the Republican cur
rency bill brought out able speeches
from two members of the Georgia del
egation—Mr. Lewis and Judge Mad
dox.
The last step in the enactment of
the bill was taken by the house whon
the conference report on the bill was
adopted by a vote of yeas 166, nays
120, present and not voting, 10. The
senate had already adopted the con
ference report, so it remained only for
President McKinley to affix his signa
ture to the measures to make it a law.
Arrangements had already been made
for securing the pen with which the
president signed the bill.
