REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
Gen. Bothn Declines Terms offered
~ Nftchener-Are Decidedly
p, 55s$e CnsatisfactOry.

London, March 20.-Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
has just informed the house of COM
mons that Gen. Botha has rejected the
peace terms offered him.
zen. Botha, Mr.. Chamberlain said,
mad conveyed the information in a let
ter to Gen. Kitchener, in which he an
nounced that he was not disposed to
recommend the terms OF peace Gen.
Kitchener was instructed to offer him
to the earnest consideration of his
government. Gen. Botha added that
MS government and it's chief officers
entirely agreed with his view. Mr..
Chamberlain added:
Il propose to lay the papers con-
nected with the negotiations on the
table tonight"
London, March 2o.-The issuance
OF parliamentary papers on the nego-
tlatlons between Lord Kitchener and
Gen. Botha is delayed. Gen. Botha's
refusal to accept the peace terms Of
1ered him is commented upon with
an evident sense of relief. The idea
that Lord Kitchener initiated the ne
gotiations, instead of Gen. Botha, as
had been supposed, is unpalatable to
the British press. The Daily Mail,
under the editorial caption "Our Re-
jected Suit" asks why the govern
ment instructed Lord Kitchener to
sue for peace after the murder of the
peace ENJOYS, and concludes as fol-
lows: Let the war be pressed to the
utmost. and let further reinforce
ments be prepared, for they may be
needed; but, above all, let us have no
more 'negotiations'
