the Request of the Boers-British Gov
ernment Will Settle the Terms OF
Peace to Their Own Satisfaction.
LONDON (By Cable).-In the House OF
Lords Tuesday, the premier, Lord Sails
bury, read the British Governments reply
to Presidents Kruger and Steyn. The con-
Guiding sentence Is as follows:
"Her Majesty's Government can only
answer your honors' telegram by saying
that they are not prepared to assent to
the independence OF either the South
African Republic or the Orange Free
State"
The United States Government, at the
request OF President Kruger and President
Steyn, offered to the British Government
its services as mediator, with the view, OF
bringing about peace In South Africn, but
the offer was declined.
No desire to Interfere was shown in the
representations made by the United States
Government. Tue communications from
Adsibert 8. Hay. the United States. consul
at Pretoria, were transmitted and assur-
ances were given that everything Wnlcn
the State Department mt Washington could
do IN the interests OF peace would be un'
dertaken gladly.
y The suggestion OF mediation sprung
from Pretoria, where Mr.. Hay, with the
other consuls, subsequent to the dispatch
by Presidents Kruger and Steyn OF their
peace cable to Lord Salisbury, were asked
to endeavor to enlist the good offices OF
their respective Governments, apparently
with the view OF bringing outside influence
to bear on Lord Salisbury's reply to tue
Boer oyertures. The efforts OF all the
European Powers representatives. In tho
Transvaal capital appear to have been
fruitiess, but the report OF the United
States consul was Forwarded on Monday,
from Washington to the United States
embassy in London. with the proier as
before outlined. Mr.. White, the charge
d'afHaires, presented them personally to
Lord Salisbury, who received them cor
dially, but did not commit himself to any
definite expression OF opinion. Later MIR.
White waited on Lord Salisbury and re-
! ceived the formal reply declining the offer.
As the Boer overtures had been an
swered to the effect that no propositions
Including the retention OF the republics
independence could be considered, the
presentation offhe American offer was too
late, but the Premier, apparently, deemed
TT matter OF sufficient Importance to put
himself on record with formal answer.
