AND BOTHA.
No News Of Their Having Met, n
Reported, az S~tanderton.

New York, June 1l.-A dispatch 10
the Tribune from London says:
The wal Office authorities say they
have received no news of a meeting
between Gen. Kitchener and Gen. 10
tina near Standerton, last Wednesday
and the report of a tentative settle
ment between the British and Boei
commanders is consequently discrcd-
tied in official quarters. Mrs. Botha's
arrival in London has, nevertheless,
revived peace rumor to- which pub
Lefty has been given on several occa-
sions recently. IL is impossible 10
say exactly what is gonig on, but the
general opinion is that there must be
some foundation for the umors. Mrs.
Botha's visit is still s%hroudcd in Sc
crecy. and although it is frequently
said that she is on a peace mission,
no definite information on this point
is ohtainahlc at present.
Of Opinion.
On the whole, the opinion of the
newspapers is that Mrs. Botha's visit
To Mr.. Kruger can at best exercise
but an Indirect influence upon future
peace negotiations so long as the
Beers persist in holding out for bet
ter terms than were offered at Mid
dleburg. There does not seem the
slightest ground for the statement
which appeared in the Weekly Dis
patch that Mrs. Botha was received
