PAUNCEFOTE CALLS ON HAY.
IL IL Presumed His Visit Had TO Do
with the Negotiations for
Pence

WASHINGTON, March ~. Lord
Pauncefote called at the state department
late in the afternoon and spent half an
hour with Secretary Hay. If he was
made acquainted with the tenor OF any
communications relative to peace that
may have come from Pretoria. he gave no
sign OF the fact.
The officials OF the department also
maintained a reserve respecting this SUBJ
Ject that was impenetrable, and all that
could be obtained from them was an in
junction TO await the developments OF the
next twenty-four hours.
II IL surinised from this that the depart
ment IL restrained from discussing the
subject by a regard for the diplomatic
propristies and especially because of the
requirement that the persons to whom a
note is addressed should be permitted to
receive II before It's substance Is made
public In such case presuming that Mr..
Choate received a note only today. II Is
probable that he would not be able to in
form the state department that he delv-
cred II to Lord Salisbury before tomor-
