THE ANGLO-BOER WAR. KRUGER’S DECISION. London, March 7 Boer delegates attract little attention in Washington. They have telegraphed to Kruger advising him to recommend generals to confer with view to arrange terms. Kruger is bitterly disappointed at Roosevelt’s reply, and says he ■will seek no further for intervention, but let the Boers fight to a finish. A VALUABLE FINE? Remington’s column discovered in a cave near Reitz 300,000 rounds of Martini-Henry and 10,000 rounds of Lee-Metford cartridges, hundreds of shells and fuses, a Maxim gun, two heliographs and a quantity of miscellaneous stores, which are supposed to be De Wet’s reserve. MORE CAPTURES. Capture of Truther, with 500 men, is important, as he was a great leader. Some rebels were surrounded in the Vryburg district. Six were captured', but Commandant Vandermerwe escaped. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. During late sweep British guns had to be lowered over precipices. One column among the mountains was 3 days above the clouds without food. War Office order allows officers and soldiers to wear spectacles. The Lords, by majority of 79, negatived a motion for return giving particulars of contracts for- supply of wines and spirits for troops in South Africa. Two irregulars court-martialled and shot at Pretoria for shooting surrendered Boers.- .
