with the astute Boer character compeis
the government to the unusual precau-

another surprise should be forthcoming

these delegates have fully accepted the

iieyed they will have some dimcuify IN
bringing the conference entirely to their
way of thinking. which is likely to delay
a decision in the matter until Monday.
No doubt Is entertained either IN south
Africa or in London as to what that de-
cision will be and some newspapers here
are already INDUCING in discussion OF
peace plans. 1t Is understood that two
points which greatly protracted the recem
negotiations were the questions of amnes-
ty and Punishment and that In regard to
the former Great Britain promised gem
erous treatment. but steacfastly refused
any unqualified guarantees In this con-
uection. 1t Is understood also that the
Punishment proclamation viii only De
waived on condition Of taking the oatn
of allegiance.
Whether there are still other minor
points of difference between Briten and
Boer cannot be said. but It is quite GER
tain that all are agreed upon the proao
principles of settlement. DR.. Jameson

peace is assured. and that the Boer will
not again take the field.
