NO EFFECT ON BOERS.
Not Surrendering in Response to
Proclamation.
• A. despatch from London says: -
The effect of Lord Kitchener's-or ra-
ther Mr. Chamberlain's-eprodlamar
-Lion is not distinctly noticeable in
SouthAfrica. There are rumors of
a renewal of negotiations ,between
Gen. Botha arid Gen. Kitehener, but
these are probably :fictitious, like the
vagaries respecting Mr. Kruger's let-
ters of. marque to privateer's. The
number of voluntary surrenders has
not increased, but possibly it is pre-
mature to look for a result of this
kind when the prOCIaniatiOn allows
several weeks in which. the Boers' can
reconcile themselves to the idea of
submission. Practical military men
have little confidence in the efficacy
of the proclamation as a peace -mak-
ing agency, but admit it Will be uSe-
ful.to have .a convenient date for an-
other manifesto, Withholding bellig-
erent rights and changing the ciratace
teae of the military operations. There
has been no material change in the
operations during the y ast week. The
Orange River' Colony is more peace-
ful than any other section, but his
is because the country has been thor-
oughly cleared and the combatants,
have been driven north and soath
for ammunition and food. Pout -

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT,
5 Perish in 0. Burnin' crib at
Gleve1884.,
A despatch from Cleveland. Ohio,
ays:-Fire early on Wednesday de-
stroyed a temporary water works
rib two miles out in the lake, re-
sulting in the death of at lease ten
men, while two others were probably
fatally injured. In addition to a
large number of workmen who were
in the crih, eleven others were at
Work in the tunnel leading from it
two hundred feet below the bottom
of the lake. The air, which was
pumped from the crib to supply the
men working in the tunnel, was cut
off as a result of its destruction,
and it was at first supPosed that
these men had all perished.
Subsequently, however, nine of the
melt in the' tunnel were rescued. Fire
and harbor tugs with rescuing par-
ties on board reached the crib soon
after the flames broke out, but when
they arrived the structure Was a
nothing now*: of flames, anti all hope
of saving it was abandoned.
Alen could be distinguished swim-
ming and floating in the water,
shouting for help. Others were cling,
lug to ropes, which they bad hitched
or tied to the rafters, but the flames
were burning the ropes away and the
men, who were naked, were falling
one by one into the lake.
After an hour's hard work the ilames
were diminished: enough so that the
firemen Could climb up the charred
steps and fight the fire from the in-
terior. Then the horror of the ca-
lamity was first realized. Every-
thing was a total wreak..
After two hours' work five charred
human bodies were found burned be-
yond recognition. Two . were in the
attitude of prayer.
