KITCHENER TO MINTO.
OTTAWA, June I. -His Excel-
lency the Governor-General receiv-
ed the folloveing cable to -night:
• Pretoria, June ist.-Peace was
ssignec1 last night. •KITCHENER.
London, June 2. -Peace has been
-.declared after nearly 'two yeas and
-eight niontbs of war, which tried the
British empire to its • uttermost, and
which wiped out th-e Boers from the
list of nations. The war has come
to an end with Lord Xitchener's an-
nouncenient from Pretoria that he,
Lord Miluer and the Boer delegates
had signed . "terinslif surrender."
0.'his announcement has been antici-
dfor several days, and it was
•definiiely forecast in.' these des-
patches; but its receipt on Sunday
.afternoon. took the nation by •sur-
prise, as everybody has confidently-
• believed that the House of -Commons
would hear the first new to -day.
THE KINGS MESSAGE.
The edge of the anticipation with
Which Great Britain awaited the pro-
inised statement in the Renee of Com
mons from. Mr. Balfour, the govern-
ment leader, was still further dulled
by the following message from King
Edward to his people, which was
is-
ued after Midnight:
• "The Xing has received the we'-
.
tome news of the cessation of Jibs-
tilities in Smith Airiest with infinite
'satisfaction mid His Alajesty trusts
that peace may speedily be followed
by the restoration of prosperity in
his hew doreinions, and that the
-feelings necessarily engendered by
war will give place to earnest co-
operation on the part of His Maj-
esty's South African subjects in pro-
moting -the welfare of their common
country."
How greatly Xing Edward's in-
sistence that peace in South Africa,
be secured prior to his coronation
influenced the present agreement will
probably never be known until the
private .memoirs of the present re-
gime are given to the public.
XRUGER IS SURPRISED. .
According to a despatch from The
Daily Espress from Utrecht, Hol-
land, Mr. Kruger was informed that
peace had been declared, shortly af-
ter eight o'clock last night. Mr. Kru-
ger had been. asleep. "My God," he
said, "It is impossible!" Mr. Jiro -
ger and his enteurage, the' despatch
. continues, hope to be permitted to
return to the Transvaal. 'This, how-,
ever, isquite unlikely.
The news which Great Britain was,
so arusiolisly awaiting came charac-
teristically on an entirely pacific and
uninteresting Sundity afternoon,.
when London presents a sadly dead
and deserted alipectrance. Very late:
Saturday night, a despatch was,s4-4:
misted from Lord Kitchener;isneeliieh
he said the Boer derogates evere com-
ing to Pretoria., that they had ac-
cepted Great Britain's terms, and
that they were prepared to sign
terms of surrenber. Mr. Brodrick,
the War Secretary, personally com-
municated this inessage to Xing Ed-
ward, who was at Buckingham Pals
ace. But the government, declined to
take any chanes, and nothing Con -
corning the receipt of this message
• Was allowed to leak .out.7.
• OFFICIAL MESSAGE.
At. about 1 o'clock Sunday after-
noon; the War Office received the fol-
lowing. despatch from Lord Kitch-
ener, dated Pretoria, Saturday, May
31, 11.15 o'clock p.
'A document concerning terms of
surrender was signed here this even-
ing at half past 10 o'clock by all
the Beer representatives, as well a$
' by Lord Milner and myseit," •
The elerk on duty at the .1VOi. Office

cheers the 'Lord Mayor made a short
speach, in whiel. he expressed his
hope that London would show its
appreciation of the good news by
behaving itself decently and in an
orderly manner. •
FOR A HAPPY PEACE. .
• "Let Us," said the Lord llesiyor in
conclusion, "now pray for a long
and happy Peace."
At this statement the assembled
crowd, which was in no humor for
praying, yelled lustily, and at the
instance of the Lord Mayor gave
hearty Cheers for Xing Edward, fol-
lowed by 'cheers for men who bled
in South Africa since the war com-
menced.
CITY WENT 11TILD.'
Ily 8 o'cleck last night the news
had become generally known. 7kfew
belated extra editions of newspapers
Were peddled about the streets, but
before their appearance the enterpris-
• ing hawkers, who for a long time
past had kept Union Jacks, feathers
and horns, stored up in anticipation
of the present event, were much in
evidence.. The. efforts of the hawkers
received lucrative rewards, with the
result that until long after midnight
the national flags were waved indis-
criminately by well-meaning royston-
;*s. There was scarcely an oninib.us
or a cab which was not adorned
with • the national emblem. Impro-
vised processions marched up and
down the Strand and Piccadilly.
Sporadic clicering• and nruch • horn -
blowing atoned for the slimness • of
the crowds, which, had their •volume
been greater would doubtless have
rivalled "Shifting Night.," As
it was the demonstrations of • the
night resulted in a genial and hatm-
lese sort of jubilation, which Con-
tinued long after midnight.
'Outside of BuCkingham Palace.
where Xing Edward kept himself .111
wise seclusion, a crowd of
good proportions 'gathered and here,
as elsewhere, the national aethem
Was sung Itistily.
SENTillES GUARDED MESSAGE.
Two sentriee and many policereen
guarded the hiStOrie inessege Out-
sideof the War Office, which could
scarcely be read bythe flickering
gas -light. After • reading this notice
the people passed on in eager crowds
into the more ettetern distriets •of
London, where there. were no ilium -
/nations such as Made the clubs on
Pall Pfeil noticeable.
"Good Olcl Xi•tchener," and
"We're blooming glad it's 'over,"
were eanoug the phraSeS shouted •
by
the croWd.
A largo number of those who had
relatives at the front. participated.
in to -night's etpeot scenes and lent
a serious and Often pathetic touch
to , Whet would otherwise have
beenan. amitsing joiliTreation. "Dear
