KITCHENER „ • 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.

Amid many 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.
