A despatch) Srom Lord Kitchener, issued this morning, is so studiously silent upfca the subi. jeat of peace negotiations that It leads to this contoliusion ithat nothing has been as yet accomplished1 of sufficient im portance to justify a reason for the view that the war is over. Nor do General French's, movements indicate a cessation of hostiHties, Llthough, possi bly, as no date is given; his captures were made previous to the grant of ar mistice.
