New York, March 14.—A special to
The Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington cays:
The German ambassador, Dr. Von
Holieben, had a long coniereuce with
Acting Secretary of S ate Hill in which
the latter was presumably informed
that a demonjtration in China might
be expected from Russia shortly.
The chief of tbe bureau of w naviga
tion, Hear Admiral Cruwninshield,
sought Secretary of State Hay and
found him at the Hay residence, alter
which tne navy department auuonuced
tnat a Chinese squadron will
established and tnat Hear Admiral
Keiupff, now commandant ac the Mare
island navyyard, wiii be sent to Manila
to take this >quudron for cruising the
Chinese and Japauese coasts, also that
Hear Admiral Homy, in charge of the
Asiatic station, will maintain the naval
base at Manila.
It is understood that Hear Admiral
Kempff's squadron will consist of the
Oregon and Baltimore, now at Manila,
the Iowa, Philadelphia and Marblehead,
now on the Pacific coast, and the Mont*
itomery, now attached to the South At
lantic station.
It is believed here that the formation
of the Chinese squadron by the United
States is to be a spectacnlar warning to
Rnssia and France that American in
terests are involved in any change in
the conditions in China. Presumably
Germany will make a similar demon
stration.

Tuesday, March 6. It is believed that
only a single bridge southward has been
destroyed and that otherwise the rail-
road is intact within S miles of Mate-
king. Colonel Planter has alrtady dis
persed sovpral Baer police posts in the
neighborhood and is actively poshing
his advance sonthwerd.
Mafeklng can scarcely hold ont much
longer. The news of Colonel Planters'
approach has given substance to the rn-
mor of its relief, bnt those best injormed
are inclined to think the relief is more
likely to beeome accomplished by Colo
nel Peakmnn’s column from Kimberley.
Private advices have, set forth that
Colonel Planter had almost given up
hope of accomplishing anything more
than harToulng the Boers, though since
these were writteu it is possible that
the diminished numbers of the invest
ing force msy have rendered Plnmer’s
task more feasible. Judging from tbe
lack of news everything it qniet in

statement that the total collapse of

Lord Salisbury Firmly Declined With
Tilnnks — Correspondence Passing
Through State D.’p irtmrot Differ
ent From Direct Appeal.
Washington, March 14 —The answer
of Lord Salisbury to tbe massage from
Pre.ideuts Kroger and Steyn, wbioh
was transmitted throughout oar gov-
era men t, was received at a late honr
last night by Secretary Hay throngh
Mr. White, oar charge de affaires at
London.
As indicated in the London dispatches,
tbe answer was a declination of tbe ap
peal It bas been transmitted to Adel-
bert Hay, United States eonsnl at Pro-
toria, wbo will submit it to the two
presidents This marks the end ot tbe
first overtnre towards peace. It is be-
lieved bere, however, that another
effort will soon be made by tbe Boers to
attain peace, tbongb recourse may be
bad to some other ageney than the
United States.
The president has dooided that it it
not proper at this time to make pnbllo
the text of the commnaioations which
have passed between Pretoria, London
and Washington relative to the peace
negotiations. It it stated, however,
that the press dlspatehes have indicated
tbe salient features of the correspon
dence with enffloientaoenraoy and abont
the on ly omission, so far as can be learned,
was the failure to develop the faot
that the appeal of the Boer government
that the United States might be al
lowed to intervene was accompanied by
-an earnest expression by the president
of bis willingnesi to do any thing within
hie power to bring abont tbe termina
tion of the war, which he hoped might
be attained. Lord Salisbury's reply,

CONSUMPTION.
Tlie germs of consumption are every
where. You may breathe them in with
the air, drink them with water, eat them
with your food. They are not dangerous
if you are in per
fect health but if
you have a slight
cold, or cough, or
if you have inher
ited weak lungs,
or if you are weak
and run-down gen
erally—look out!
Once
consump
tion gets a strong
foothold it is al
most impossible to
dislodge it. The time to cure it is at the
beginning or liefore it starts. If you are-
run - down — build yourself up. Make
every tissue so strong and well that con
sumption germs ennnot find a foothold.

New York, March 14.— The Journal
end Advertiser saye:
Presidents Kruger and Steyn have
apparently made a shrewd diplomatic
move, for it caonot be supposed tbat
they expected Lord Salisbury to content
lo peace on any such terms et they pro
posed.
auey have, however, obtained from
the Britteh premier a tangible state
ment of the lutention of England, and
her determination to take from the two
republics their independence.
Tbit gives (bam something on which
they may appeal to the powers, asking
if the letter will stand by and'eee them

predation of the commeudable senti
ments whioh inspired the president’s
utterances.
Inasmuch as there appeere to be some
confusion in the pnblio mind respeoting
the various efforts made by the Boers
to end the war, It may be stated that
this particular corrcspondenco, passing
throngh tbe state department, was sep
arate and apart from the note addressed
by Presidents Kroger and Steyn t(
nearly all tbe continental powers be>
lieved to be in sympathy with their
cense, and was also distinct from the
appeal addressed direct to Lord Sells-
bury by the two presidents, which with
his lordship’s answer formed the sub
ject of the communications made yee-
torday by the parliament.

Boer presidents appeal to tbe powers
against the premier’s nltimatnm and
ask them to interfere to prevent the po
