London. May $3.50 a. m.-The Trans

spondents at Pretoria that 1t has not con-
sidered and does not intend TO consider
unconditional surrender. but will fight TO
a finish.
The foreign consuls have been informed
that johannesburg VIII be defended and
the government announces that It VIII
not hold itself responsible for injury TO
person or property resulting from the
defense measures.
Pretoria dispatches affirm that President
Kruger President Steyn and all the most
prominent leaders of both republics after
prolonged interchange of views, are
determined to continue the resistance,
but that a minority Of the leaders advo-
cate surrender without terms.
Nevertheless. according To The Daily
Chronicle long messages in Dutch have
been received by the British government
by way of Amsterdam, I'm which President
Kruger seeks peace. According to one
account President Kruger surrenders I'M
conditionaly; according to another. he
asks for terms.
There seems to be good reason for be-
lleyine that he is earnestly endeavoring
TO secure terms but cable inquiries fail
