SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.
ASSTOP IN PROCEEDINGS.
Lonpon, March 22.—Possibly the moat important war news today ie contained in this despatch from Cape Town to the Daily Mail :
“] bave just arrived from Bloemfontein I was informed that no further movement is probable for some weeks as negotias tions were proceediog. I was unable to learn the nature of these negotistions, or whether Sir Alfred Milner’s departure had @oy connection with them.
There is, however, every sign that Free Staters are anxious to give up, and it would not be eurprising if the war col- lapsed quickly, for though there are no definite indications of the feeling of the Traasvaaiers many stories are afloat that they are anxions to cease fighting.
The opinion is held by some here that Sir A. Milner’s mission relates to the form- ing of a temporary administration for the Free Staie.
The whole of the southern Boer re- public, according to despatches,is believed to be willing to submit. It is thought pro- bable here that the negotiations referred to concern the Transvaal government.
Lonpox, March 22.—Iu well informed political circles the impression is gaining ground that the Government contemplates a great coup in July should the war in Sonth Africa be brought to a successful termination by that time.
It is believed that Lord Salisbury tends not only to dissolve parliament and appeal tothe country, butalso to bring forward a scheme for Imperial Federation by which the great self-governing colonies will be given representation ut West- minster.
Chamberlain is said to be responsible for the latter portion ofthe programme. It is pointed out that all Parliamentary business is being so shaped as to make provision for the possibility of a general election in July.
One strong factor in favor of the early dissolution of Parliament is the belief in ministerial circles that there will not be found, even among the Liberal leaders any strong opposition to the policy of annexa~ tion of the Boer Republics should the war continue.
Beyonce midsummer, however, there is little probability of a general election this year.
Lonpoy, March 22.—A despatch to the Standard from Bloemfontein, dated Tues~ day says: ‘Four thousand Transvaalers from Colesberg trekked on Saturday and Sunday from the south of Dewetsdorp to the northeast, apparently in the hope of escaping northward by hugging the Basutoland border.
It is quite probable they will be caught in one of the passes.

ARKIVAL OF THE STANLEY.
————
She Came to Charlottetown From Pictou Yesterday,
Charlotietown harbor is egain open. The Stanley, the old reliable Stanley, was royally welcomed as she came into port yesterday afternoon. From ten o’clock in the morning, when she was sighted away out by Point Prim, she had been anxious- ly watched by many persons from roofs of buildings and other points of vantage in the city. At times it was feared that sbe was making vo progress and might have to turn back; but she kept everlast'ngly at it—onmce the crew actually had to cut her out—and after dinner it was seen that she would get in all right. Shortly after three o’clock the word went round that the steamer was inside the harbor’s
mouth, and hundreds of persors at once gathered at Connolly’s and the other wharve: to welcome her
Crowds were also out on the ice, and some gentlemen got on board as she came along. Of course the ice in the harber did not bother her except when she wae being docked, and as the tide was ruoning out this was a matter of considerable difficulty. As she came alongside the wharf three cheers were called for Captain Brown snd the good ship Stanley, and three cheers and a tiger were heartily given.
She brought over four passengers, Messrs. T A McLean and George E. Auld, representatives of the Board of Trade, and two others. Her cargo consist- ed of one car oi], one car malt, three cars flour and upwards of a car of sundries.
The Stanley sailed again thie morning. She took a full cargo, conisting of six cars of oats, one car of potatoes, one car turaips, one car of condensed milk, ten horses, and @ quantity of miscelianeous freight.
Last year the Stanley made her first trip toe Charlottetown on April the 17th; in the a(tefnoon. The harbor ice was then all
‘broken up.and the Princess had gone to | Picton the same morning. The Minto made
her one and only trip to Charlottetown this season On January 3rd. The harbor was therefore closed this year for seventy-six days.
On Tuesday the Patriot contained the following :
“A prominent Con-ervative of this city decided to take passage by the Sianley yesterday morning in preference to the Minto, ae he had urgent business on hand and did not care to incur the risk of de- tention in the latter boat, He arrived in Pictou a sadder but wiser man.”
The facts of the matter are these: On
neceessry arrangements for the accommo- datioa there of Cronje and other banished Boers.
Loypon, March 22.—Several selegrems have passed between President Kruger and the British Government in addition to the Salisbury~Kruger correspondence al- ready published.
The foreign office received a despatch from Pretoria yesterday. The contente of these communications cannot vet be obtained.
So far as the military situation is con- cerned thereis practically po change, Lord Roberts is quietly making prepara- tions forthe next move.
As pecessary to a beginning Generals Gatacre snd Brabant are safely moving from point to point in the southern dis- tricts of the Free State, dispersing or ac- cepting the surrender of any remaining Boers, thus ensuring the safety of Lord Roberts’ communications before starting
towards Pretoria.

Sunday night Mr. T. A. McLean, eviden:- ly the prominent Coneervative referred to, went to Georgetown, a» a representative
!of the Board of Trade, with the sole and
only purpose of crossing to Pictou and coming back to Charlottetown in whe Stanley. His “ urgent business” was to oall in his power to have the Stanley brought to Charlottetown. On Tuesday Mr. George E. Auld crossed io Picteu :n the Minto and returned yesterday in the Stanley, aod he was also a re- presentative of the Board of Trade.
As regards the crossing of the eteamer on Monday, about which the Patriot bad something to say yesterday, the facies are these: The Stanley had been lying at the wharf all winter. Everything was more or Jess oat of joint. Certainly her engi- neers would not be expected to put her to ber full speed. They were not out on a race. The sailors and firemen were all new men, and not p*re-y iuto their dues, The cleame. was got unijer way at Georgetown at 9.25 and arrived at Pictou light at 1.30, noi- withstanding the fact that she was “‘actu- al'y stuck” in the ice for nearly an hour. And the ice that the Stanley was stuck in was far tothe southwest when the Mioto passed along two hotrs and a half earlier. The men did come to the rescue and cut the steamer free. What would the Patriot have them do? Leave Ler high up on the ice or wait for a change of wind.
It is of no use for the Patriot or anyone else to belittle the noble work of the Stanley. The‘Minto has not yet shown herself to be a better boat than her pre- deceseor.
