Pretoria, April 18.—As soon at the Berne award in the Delagoa Railway arbitration was published, the Transvaal government offered to end Portugal the amount she was condemned to pay ($5,000,000), which, however, was courteously de- dined, the statement being made that the money was already provided. The government is receiving many memorials from burghers on the sub- ject ot sending the Boer prisoners to 8t. Helena and will formally protest to Great Britain on the subject. Secretary of Stahe Reitz says the Transvaal government is not taking any resolution regarding the destruc- tion of the mines.

London, April 18.—The govern- ment has chosen this as the moment to publish adispatch from Lord Rob- erts pronouncing centure upon Sir Redvers Buller and Sir Charles War- ren, two of his most important sub- ordinatecommanders. This dispatch, written Feb. 153, ius beenin the hands of the war office for five weeks. Just why it is published now, in the middle of the campaign, is not understood, unless it is expected that Gen. Buller and Gen. Warren will ask to lieved of their commands. The revelation of their incapacity must tend to undermize the conti- dence of the troops in their leader- ship.
