London NOnplMAcd.

New York, June IA dispatch from
London says:
The war office authorities say they have
received no news of meeting between
General Kitchener and General Botha neal
Standerton last Wednesday, and the re
port of tentative settlement between the
British and the Boer commanders Is con
sequently discredited in official quarters
Mrs. Botha's arrival in London has, never
theless, revived peace rumors, to which
publicity has been given on several occa-
sions recently. 1t is impossible to say
what exactly is going on, but the general
opinion is that there must be some fonn-
dation for the rumors. Mrs. Botha's visit
is still shrouded in secrecy, and although
it is freely stated that she is on peace
mission no definite information can be OBJ
taned.

The Hague conference on condition that
the Boer states were excluded. There is
no doubt that Mr., Kruger, Aho is sc.
rious statesman, came to Europe to obtain
the good offices OF several OF the powers
! to end the war. but there is also no doubt
that Great Britain does not want their
good offices.
AT least it is true that, since the
South African war began, Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing
confdentially or officially broached such
an idea. II is quite possible that the Boer
