The war office toJay reeeired two despatches from General Roberts, both being dated Bloemfontein, March 20, the important parts of which are as follows: "Kitchener occupied Priest yesterday without resistance. The rebels are laying down their arms. The Trari vaalers are escaping across the, fiver. We have taken 123 prisoners, 200 stands of arms and some suppUesand- explo sives. The Boers on the Bastrtoland border have begun to srender. Steyn is circulating by despaleS riders in reply to my proclamation a notice to the effect that any burgher who signs delaration not to fight us will be treat ed as a traitor and shot." STETN'S REPLIES.

Steynt denies the chaises- and 'refers to three . instances InciuniJng Spionkop and the last battle of the Tugfelay'ieeiiere lie declares the British fired on the English who surrendered and the Boers who went forward to receive them. Steyn explained the presence of ex plosive bullets found in Cronje's laager and elsewhere by saying that they were captured from the British. Lord Rob erts closes the dtespatch by stating that as he knows Steyn' s statement is un true, he -will not further pursue the matter; - NO NEWS FROM MAFEKING. London, March 21. Roberts' de spatches to the war office contained the principal news that has been re ceived from South Africa. There are no reports of important operations and, Roberts seems to be aiming at- the pacification of the region (behind hiip. before further advancing. The Morn ing Post's correspondent at Bloemfon tein telegraphs that the Free State Boers are surrendering as fast as they can. The only news in "reference to Ma f eking comes from Pretoria, under date of March 15. It ann ounces that Colonel Plumer is unable to advance south of Lobatsi.

During this war talk on both sides the channel the St. James Gazette goes so iar as to print a eeriee of editorials headed "Our Coming Peril," in which it is maintained that France is eager to attack England and is preparing to do so. GERMANY ALSO. Some suggestion of the way people regard the outlook is found in the fact that a public meeting ha been adver tised to take place to Queen's hall short ly to urge the government to increase the naval preparations to a greater ex tent than is provided for in the naval estimates recently announced by the first lord of the admiralty. The com mon run of Britishers are suspicious not only of France, but of Germany as well. They speak bitterly of Lord Salisbury s action, in the matter of the seizure of certain German vessels . near Delagoa bay, concerning which Ambassador von Hatzfeldt used sharp language In ad dressing the British government. It is declared that Lord Salisbury took . ad vanced ground, from which subsequent ly he retreated when the German1 gov ernment became aggressive. WALLACE WRITES A ROMANCE.
