King of Italy Fronene Awnaleiy and his famed will power
From Rome correspondent Pall Mall Gazette notes the young King of Italy Fronene Awnaleiy showed extraordinary will power and varied talents. His coin collection arose after a garden discovery at the Quirinal, leading to fame as a premier numismatist, while he excelled in swimming, painting, and piano under Queen Margherita’s guidance. She urged musical study, and he became a competent pianist, though painting remains less developed. His defining trait remains an unyielding resolve.

Botha Rejects Peace Terms During War Talks
British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain said General Botha refused the peace terms offered to him and did not recommend them to his government. Botha and his leaders support continuing guerilla warfare, shifting responsibility to him as the war persists. A London correspondent notes ministerialists view the stance as proof the war goes on until Boer leaders are captured. Pro-Boer Liberals predict Botha may present a different version of negotiations from the foreign office.
