BEGINNING OF THE END MAFEKINU RELIEVED AN1) COMMANDANT BOTHA CAPTURED. London's Millions Wild With Delight Overtlu?Suppression of Homo Rule. London, May 19.?London's millions spent halt the night in , the street, and even at 4 tins morning troops ot young men are promenading, singing and cheer ing, and there are crowds in front of the Mansion House, Marlborough House, the clubs and P.ill Mall, and the wai office and in Parliament square, waving flags and joining in the national aiis. This sustained bellowing and uproar of hundreds of thousands amazes the Englishmen who ceases for a moment to be an actor and becomes merely an observer. Nothing haR quite equalled tonight's hundred pquuro miles of almost furious demonstration. Smart women in broughams waved union jacks out of the windows. From every 'bus in London fluttered a union jack. Conventional family parties slopped at street corners to take part in Ringing "God Save tin* Queen" and Soldiers of the Queen." Everywhere was good feeling and an astonishing roar of human voice . It was all brought about by a 20 word telegram from Pretoria that Mafeking had been relieved. Col. Baden-Powell's brother, in London, has received a telegram from a Dutch friend in Pretoria, saying that, Mafeking haa been relieved. KMINKNTLY APPKOPRIATK. At Carlton Lintel, which is tilled with Americana, the bands played "Marching Through Geor gia," which has been recently adapted to an English song, entitled "Marching to Pretoria." "Dixie" and other American aira were played. Ten thousand people stood in front of Mrs. Baden-Powell's honse, in St. George's place, cheering and singing. TO COL. BADUN POWKLL. The lord mayor sent the following to Col. Badon-l'owell: t'l'k A A? f? A ?/? A f I ~ ? -J ? i no uiii^nun ui iiUiMiun are relieved. They rejoice in the good news received. Your gallant defence Will long live in the annals. Cable me what money ir wanted for the needs of the garrison and * inhabitants aftef long privations." , In unrestrained jubilation the provinces were not behind the metropolis. From all parts.of the Empire comes the same story. Bomboy, Ilong Kong, Colombo and the Australian cities are re joiciug. Continental cities, as the presH telegrams abundantly testify, received the news sadly. A Lourenzo Marquis corres-< pondent, telegraphing yesterday, says;"New peace proposals will probably be put forward by the Boer Government. The recent . reverses are uausing despondency. There was a prolonged meeting of the Transvaal executive at Pretoria Thursday, and the de struction of the mines \vag again considered. It is understood'that the Government does not intend to destroy the mines." According to the other advides from the same point President Kroger and the otheY high ofli rials purpise leaving almost immediately for Lydenburg. The British prisoners will be conveyed there and the foreign consuls at Pretoria and leaving for Lydenburg. "IT 18 SAID." In Kroonstad it in Raid that President Kruger will surrender when Lord Roberts crosses the Transvaal frontier. Lord Roberta in accumulating immense quantities of supplies and the preparations for another movement are well advanced. The next atop will he At Johannesburg. There are 12.000 Boers at Rhenoster Spruit. Reeonnoitering parties are sighted daily by the British patrols. The Boers havo dynamited Being's Nek tunnel and the railway is completely wrecked. The work of repairs will occupy many weeks. The Boers now hold the . lN CAS t / LA bent positions for defendiop the pass. COMMANDANT llOTIIA CAPTIIRBD.

It has tired of living on past ;reatness and determined to make i long, sturdy stride towards the lead of the procession of growing tnd prosperous cities, and thai top is the holding of a gram!

At a nass meeting held in the Audi orium, the citizens of Charleston vith one voice said to the men vho had undertaken the prelimnary work, "go ahead ; we are vith you". Since that meeting it the close of March, the work >f preparation for forming an Ex position company has gone on with remarkable activity. With n less than two months subscriplions of $ll(t,000 have been rereived to the capital stock and mid they continue to come in at the rate of five to eight thousand per week. The amount already received does not include any thing from the railroads or larger corporations?the idea being to leave these large subscribers for the last. This is proper as the business men and citizens gener ally should be allowed first to ex press their financial opinions on the project the result has certain !y been gratifying to the men who have so far engineered the work. Hut Charleston is not alone interested. An Exposition such as planned will help every section of South Carolina, it will bring immigration, increase manufacturea ami give came for greater activity in every branch of business. South Carolina has terig of thousands of arable acres now idle that might well be employed ; mining lands that have never been prospected, square miles of virgin timber never yet touched by woodman's axe.
