in San Francisco.
London, Mar. 2H. 4 a. m. Again
there is a persistent rumor that
Mafekiug lias been relieved. It is
even asserted that the War Oflioo
has received a dispatch positively
announcing the relief, but that publi
cation of it is withheld because tin-
form of the message admitted the
possibility of a mistake. The War
Oflieo. however, savs there is no con
firmation of the rumor and that no
further news on the subject is at
hand. No attention is paid in any
ouartcr to the wild Doer rumors of
Commandant Oliver's victory over
General Gataere, which are only de
signed to revive the drooping spirits
f the burghers.
It seems certain that Mafeking's
only chance lay m relief by tin
column supposed to to advancing
from the south, or in the possibilitj
that Colonel Bladen-Powell is still
strong enough to attempt a sortie
with a view of capturing the Boei
guns at a tune when (.ommanurnl
rynman has withdrawn bis men to
ipposo Colonel Plumer's advance.
All reports regarding the British
operations in the Free State continue
most satisfactory.
Nothing has developed regarding
General Bailor's intentions, but it
seems hard to believe that he it-
again embarking, General Warren's
division.
It is reported from Louren::o Mar
ines that Pretoria is prepared t
stand a siege of two years, and thai
the 15 er women, frantic at the re
verses in the- Boer arms, are en
treating to be allowed to shoot tlx
British ofliccrs imprisoned at Pre
toria, It is also announced from the Trans
vaal capital that the Italian Govern
ment has declined to intervene.
KiMiiEKi.KY, Thursday, Mar. 2'.
There was a smart artillery due
near Warrenton yesterday morning.
A battery under Major Blewitt.
supported by the- Kiniberley Liglr
Horse, located the Boers, who em
ployed four guns, two of which usei"
cordite, but ii.e.fc e.h'oly. Tho Brit
ish battery replied with eli'cct am.
silenced tho Boer lire, The Boer-sent-
two shells near tho railway sta
tion, which was not damaged.
A .scouting party got too close U
he bank of the river and encoun
tered 11 hot fire. The men wereun-
able to get away and it was impossi
ble t J relieve them without loss, the
party being oblige I to wait for dark
ness m oruer to escape, ine party
retired with only one wounded.
This morning brisk firing was re
sinned at Warrenton about (!:i0, but
it has now slacked up. A detach
ment of fusili ers has arrived.
Two Vryburg inhabitants who have
been imprisoned by the Boers, were
sent into Warrenton under a white
flag, after being taken from laager
to laager around the district. They
say that the flag gun from Kimberley
ha i been taken through Christiana
to Pretoria. There are women and
cl il Iron in nearly every laager.
Trains now run within eight miles
of Warrenton.
Wakhexton, Thursday, Mar. 22.
The Boers have vacated Klipdam
and Windsor ton, which are almost de
sorted. Their wives and families
have tied with them. The sank the
pouts, or ferry boats, at Riverton
and Windsorton. The vaal river can
only be crossed by swimming. Tin
country this side of the river is well
patrolled by the British.
Maseiu: (Basutoland). Thursday
March 22. Several thousands of
Boers, with a hug"' convoy of wagon.-
have been passing from Smithficld
and Weponor toward Ladybrnnd
during the la't two days. It is sup-
nosed that tho Boer forces have re
tired from Nervals Point. Bothnia
and Stormberg on their way north.
The Government ofliccrs are taking
observations at the nresent moment.
Paramount Cli'ef Lorothodi has ar
rived hove with a l.;rge following and
is conferring with the British agent,
Sir Godfrey Lagden.
A (lis'tatcii to t:,e "limes f.1,111

"Th" date of the departure of tin
Mafckmg column from here has not
vet been fixed. The head of tho 1
way has rcaehel C 1: t 'lit.' about
thirty-live 'nih's north of Kimborle"
The pout at Fourteei Streams is
guarded by our troops. Skirmishing
of the British In South
continues around Warrenton. The
Boers are reported to have four guns,
but this is doubtful."
B1.0KMF0vrr.iN, Mar. 22. General
French with a brigade of cavalry
and mounted infantry has arrived at
Thabanehu and opened heliographie
communication with Maseru. Hi
reports all well.
Loxiiox, Mar. 23. A dispatch to

March Jist, says:
' "General Gataere and his staff arc
still here. He is most strict regard
ing tho private property of the
Boers. Some Kafiirs who had looted
Boer farms have been tried and
severely punished, to tho astonish
ment and gratification of the Boer
resident.
LosiioN, Mar. 21. With Co'.onei
Baden-Powell and his gallant soldien
starving in Mafekiug, and women
and children dying of hunger and
ever, a storm of ii'dignafion broke
m General Lord Methuen's head to
day when a telegram from Kimber
,ey was received stating that tin
relief expedition was stalled at Four
teen Streams.
Day after day the public has wait
ed, with hone keenly tampered hi
v.ixiety, to learn of the rescue of tin
Viivo. Tho relief army started 01
m its march of 22.'$ miles two weeks
igo, and in that time it has marched
o.ily forty-eiyht miles.
Little hope is left for Baden

LAHAINA LOCALS.
Jcprnes-; Strike ot Lahalnr.
Aliout six hundred Japanese are
on a strike at Lahaina and abwut
two hundred at Olowahf. They are
all asuemblod in the" Court House
yard nt Lahainr, and the Lahaina
Japanese also have a place fortified
back of tho town near the Church.
Manager Hanr.el org states that
the only known cause of coinphv.nl
.vhich the Oiowalu Japanese have is
that they a.-e not paid oil promptly
on the last day of the pmptli. It is
a physical impossibility to do this,
however as several days are neces
sarily consumed by the bookkeeper
in making up the pay ro'l.
Seveal causes also led up to the
present troub'e. The Japanese
hive wanted an indemnify for the
two Japanese who were killed by tho
Tailing of a chimney, some some time
since, and they have also made some
complaint about tbeir quarters.
Tho strike of the Lahaina Japan
ese was probably caused by the con
viction of a Jr. paw se on Tuesday last
for having assaulted a luna with a
ane knife and cut t woserious gaslics
in his hand.
