Between British Authorities and the

Weeks-There Seems to Be Well
Defined Feeling That Overtures
Will Ultimately Prove Successful.

lowing important statement after

ner, the British commander in South

Boer delegates at Pretoria, Lord
Kitchener, while refusing to grant an
armistice, has agreed to give facili-
ties for the election and maintaining
of representatives of the various

proposition. The Boer leaders have,
therefore, left Pretoria to carry out
this plan" Mr.. Balfour added that
it was not expected that communica-
tion between the British authorities
and Boer leaders could be resumed in
less than three weeks. Mr.. Balfour's s
statement made generally favorable
impression.
