ENJOYS Preparing Account of Confer
ence With Secretary Hay.


Upon returning from the White House to
the hotel the Boer delegates refused to see
callers, sending down word that they would
admit one until late this afternoon. 1t
is understood that they are engaged in
preparing account of their interview
with Secretary Hay. 1t is stated that the
account already given to the public is that
of the Secretary and it is thought proper
by the Boer delegates that they should also
give their version of the affair. 1t is said
the forthcoming statement will be confined
strictly to what took place when they saw
Mr.. Hay, and that they will make obser
vatons the official course pursued to-
ward them. 1t is said by some who have
warmly espoused their cause that an ap
peal will be taken to the people of this
country and that the end has not yet been
reached.
While no definite plans have been an
nounced. it Is believed the stay of the dele
gates in this city will be short. They have
received Invitations from over one hundred
cities in this country to visit them and be
the recipients Of receptions in their honor.
and it is quite likely they will accept as
many of them possible. Meetings have
been arranged for them in Baltimore and
in other places. and when they leave here
it will be to begin a round of visits in re-
Spouse to invitations.
