SURRENDER NEGOTIATIONS
Which Failed Because General Bothn De-
clined Gen. Buller's Terms.

Wnlcn talleu because General lSOthn De-
clined Gen. Buller's Terms.
London. June ia belated dis
patch from Mount Prospect, via New
castle, Natal, dated Thursday, June Z,
throws light on the armistice agreed
upon between the British and the
Beers recently. 1t appears that Gener-
al Butler met General Christian Botha
June 2, at O'Neils farm, between UNI
guela and Majuba, and summoned
BOtha to surrender. General Botha
said he was not empowered to accede
to the demand. General Butler replied:
very WELL" and turned to go away,
when General Botha pressed him to
make u proposal.
General Butler said he had no pro-
posal to IN; ;e, but pointed out that
the Beers were surrounded and referred
to the uselessness of shedding unneces-
sary blood.
"Whatde You want us to do?" asked
General Botha beseechingly.
'Retrun to your farms, leave your
big guns, and await Lord Roberts de-
dision," replied General Butler.
The federal commandant said he
would refer the question to the burgh-
ers. General Butler then acceded to
his General Botha's) appeal for ar
armisticeuntil daybreak, June 6, show.
ing that the Boer reports of General
Butler having requested an armistict
to have been incorrect. The dispatch
adds that the federals are understood
to have twenty-three guns in position
but it is doubtful If they can remove
them. Their only line of retreat is in
the direction of Lydenburg.
London, June 11.-The following re
port from General Butler has been is
