HONOLULU, May 24— Interest in the price of meat has been aroused /in .the Territory of Hawaii, owing to the striking advance recently made on- the mainland. For many, years it has been customary for Honolulu to obtain a large part of its meat | supply from j the Pacific Coast, as meny; as; 300, carcasses of beef and 1000 of sheep coming; down In the refrigerating chambers • of each regular steamer. At the present time harmy any. meat Is ob tained from the mainland. ' \ Supplies on , these islands have been gradually increasing and there is now sut rtcient stock on the, hoof in sight to feed the total population' for more than four months to come.'.* It is hoped that the sup ply has not ceased, but that Hawaii has at last I become independent . of the main land for its- prtneipar staple' food. . Comparing the .wholesale and retail prices. of meat this year in Honolulu with u year ago, there has. been an advance of a cent: and a half per pound in the whole sale price for dressed Deef; of half a cent a . pound, for dressed mutton and of one cent. -a pound for veal. Retail prices show an, advance of two cents for sirloin steaks, of five cents: for porterhouse and of; two; and a half cents, tor round steak. Mutton at retail is practically unchanged and the same may be said of veal, while perk has advanced two cents a pound at retail.,,:. - . ,,-•....¦ • •"-.: 'A familiar figure In Rotten row, the old bark Sebastian Bach, startled the water front folk this morning by going to Davy Jones' locker.

BRUSSELS. May 3O.-It Is said here that the Boer delegates in Europe now admit that peace in South Africa jhas been secured and that the settlement be* tween the Boers and Great Britain will 'be signed in the names of the former citizens of the two South African republics who are now in Europe, includ ing: Kruger*. thus preventing the irrecon cilables from continuing a guerrilla war fare on the pretext that they are obey ing the orders of the Boer delegates in Europe.

LONDON, May 20.— In connection with the resignation of Dr. J. \V. Smart, Com missioner of Public Works, from the Cape Colony Cabinet, which was an nounced from Cape Town yesterday, an interesting sidelight of the difficulties likely 10 confront the British administra tors of South Africa after the conclusion of peace is furnished by an article which will be published in to-morrow's Empire Review, the editor of which claims to have exceptional sources of information. The wilier of the article points out that Cape Coicny will present a most serious problem after the close of hostilities. The province, which is nominally self-govern ing, is now deprived of a constitution, is urder military law and is honeycombed with disloyalty from end to end. The au thor of the article declares further that if an attempt is made to restore the con stitution the Afrlkanderbund will surely dominate the political situation and that campaign speeches will fan the existing race hatred to a worse state than before or during the war. The only safety for the whole of South Africa, according to the Review, lies in smothering the last spark of sedition and in transforming the Cap .t l Pw a crown colony and governing it on tna. basis for several years to come. Speaking at Leeds to-night Lord Rose bei-y advised the leaders of the Liberal pcrty j to postpone the announcement of the programmes until there was some Im meoiate prospect of getting them carried out. Lord Rosebery said the first and greatest question before the public was p?ace. which he believed would be an nounced in a few days. He said he hoped aiat all might be able 1 to support the Government's policy of pacification, but warned his hearers that the Ministry was not concluding peace with a crushed foe. to v. horn no further attention need be paid. The speaker said he hoped the Oovernment would be wise enough to adopt a generous policy and convert brave foes into brave friends. This certainly could not be done, said Lord Rosebery. on the lines heretofore sketched by Lord Salisbury, th" Premier, who said: "A resolute Government might be required for generations." Referring to the present financial policy of the Government. Lord Rosebery said he thought the tax, on corn was a prelude to a sort of zollverein throughout the em pire. He said he could not summarilv dis miss any proposal for the closer union of the British empire, but the advantage must be <Jemcnstrably great to justify such a departure as a zollverein would necessitate, and that this departure would moan giving up the control of Great Britain's financial system to the British colonies. . . Thf> -Government has not yet received the decision from the Boer conference at Vereeniglng, Transvaal, which was ex pected to-day and which was to enable Balfortr. the Government leader, to make his statement concerning peace next Mon day A dispatch received from Pretoria says the British columns in South Africa, especially the cavalry, have been greatly benefited by their long rest. Lord Kitch ener will again take the field if there is any delay in the acceptance of Great Britain's terms by the Boers. In the meantime preparations are being made for the repatriation of the Boers on the termination of hostilities.
