The Secretary CT State this morning re-
ceived the answer from the British Gov
ernment to the overtures for peace which
ne Department transmitted in behalf OF
the Boer Governments. Lord Salisbury
thanks the United states for its interest

thanks OF Her Majesty's Government for
the interest taken in the matter OF bring
ing about peace by the United States. and
said that Her Majesty's Government was
rot prepared to accept the Intervention
OF any nation on the terms proposed by
the Beers in the message forwarded by
the State Department.
The term Intervention. % which in diplo-
macy suggests a resort to force. was used
by Lord Salisbury in his answer to Mr..
White because IL had been contained in
the communication from the Boer Govern
