South Af can War News

NEW YORK, June S.-A cable to the
Sun from London, dated June 9Th, says:
The Weekley Dispatch which recently
anticipated accurately several official
announcements in regard to peace ne
EQUATIONS iii South -Atnca says Lord
Kitchener and General Butha the Boer
Commander in chief, accompanied by
two aids as witnesses, held a protracted
confer ence a few miles from Standelton
on June 5tn and arrived at a tentative
settlement. ~
The government is keeping the terms
secret, but the Dispatch says it has
transpired that the outlook for the
conclusion of peace is more hopeful
than at the time of the first meeting
between the two Generals some months
ago.
Inc paper also states that within the
last twenty-four hours the Government
has counteraanded orders for large
shipments of horses and stores to South
All ica, and that announcements to that
effect will doubtless be made in the
House of Commons during the ensuing
week.
Despite all denials, the Dispatch af-
irms that Mrs. Botha, the wife of the
Boer commander in chief, acting in the
role OF peace envoy, yesterday visited
the Colonial Office and that she was re-
ceiVed by Earl. Roberts at the War
Office. There Is also Well-founded
lumor in certain official quarters that
she had an interview with Lord Miner
Governor of the Transvaal and Orange
River Colony.
The War Office stated officially Sa-
turday that no news had been received
from South Africa of the alleged re-
quest by General Botha for a meeting
with Lord Kitchener In regard to peace
terms. 1t was added that II such a re-
quest had been made. Lord Kitchener
would have informed the Government
of it Immediately.
LONDON. June S.-Mrs. Louis Botha
arrived at Southampton this morning
on board the British steamer Dunve-
gan Castle from South Africa. She re-
fused to grant an interview but a son
of eX-Secretary of State Fischer who
accompanied her said that Mrs. Botha
was going straight to London and later
would proceed to Holland, but that the
date of her departure for the Continent
had not been fixed. Mr.. Fischer was
unable to confirm or deny the report
that Mrs. Botha had come to Europe on
a peace mission. He was released on
parole in order that he might accom-
pany her.
CAPE TOWN, June S.-The British
surprised two Boer laagers at differ

NEW PACIFIC LINE.

BERLIN, June 6.-Herr Ballin, direc-
tor-general of the Hamburg American
Lille, who lunched with the Kaiser, said
in an interview published by the Lokal
Anzeiger, that his company would
shortly open the. first regular line OF
fast mail steamers between San Fran
cisco and Jhanghai. He had assured
the success of the scheme by purchas-
ing large quantities of ground at Shan
ghai for the construction of wharves.
ETC., and by contracts with trans
American railways.
Herr Ballin fully reported all this to
the Kaiser. He also spoke of j. Pier
pont Morgans new undertaking. The
director-general of the Hamburg -Ame-
rican Line hopes to work on friendly
terms with Morgan. He denied the
English report that Morgan was in the
treaty for the purchases of the Ham
burg-American Line.

Five officers and several privates OF
the Irregular corps employeu in South
Africa are now undergoing penal ser
vitude for life in the Portland and
Lewes iails for traitorously assisting
Beers to smuggle ammunition through
the British lines. They were sem
fenced to be shot but General Roberts
commuted their sentences. In doing
so he returned them as dead from
enteric fever. Since then three other
officers and eleven men have bt EN-
caught at the same game and General
Kitchener had them shot and returned
them as fever victims.
