CHARGES AGAINST BRITISH
BY DeIarey Will Receive No Attention
by the War Office.

London, April 9.-The charges
against the conduct of British troops
in South Africa, attributed to Gen. De-
larey, have not been brought to the
notice of the war office, and will be
ignored unless a question on the sub
ject is asked in the House of Com
mons. The war office officials ridicule
the idea that the charges contain an
iota of truth and are inclined to as
sign their origin to purely continental
sources. Gen. Delarey's courteous
treatment of Gen. Methuen, it is said,
makes it difficult to believe that the
Boer commandant personally was re-
sponsible for the charges, which in
clude persecution of Delarey's own
family.
Gerald Balfour, president of the
London Board of Trade in a speech at
Leeds, tonight. said that if the Beers
still insisted upon independence, the
present so-called peace negotiations in
South Africa might as well be broken
off Immediately
The Associated Press understands
that the peace negotiations are pro-
crossing satisfactorily so far as the
Transvaalers are concerned but the
latest advices indicate that there is
small probability of the Free States
surrendering in a body. The negotia-
tons thus for mainly have been ex-
plana ton of British intentions. 1t is
being plaHs40 the leaders that their
surrender will not entail Punishment,
and this has a potent influence. The
leading Transvaalers urge their allies
to arrange peace terms. The inner cir
cles of the war office believes that if
the important indications are fulfilled
and the Transvaalers agreed to sur
render, the backbone of Boer resist
ance will be broken and that the Free
Staters' opposition will soon be over
come.
kilograms received here from Ans
terdam furnish evidence of the excite
ment caused there by the receipt of
private dispatches from London re-
porting that peace in South Africa may
be proclaimed within two days. All
kinds of rumors We're current on the
Stock Exchange, but nothing had
reached official quarters in London to
justify such an optimistic view of the
situation.

Rough Riders.
At the conclusion of the exercises,
the President inspected the different
buildings, after which the entire party
was taken to Summerville, where Il
day or two will be spent amid the
Southern pines. The day was the chief
event of President Roosevelt's visit to
this city, and never before has such a
crowd thronged the streets. The en-
thusiasm of the people was unbound
ed ana there was stranding room only
along the line of march.
The parade started from the Presi-
dents quarters at 10 o'clock and was
composed of marines, seamen, cadets,
artilerists and militiamen of four

times the President stood in his car
riage and acknowledged with a smile
and bow the enthusiastic plaudits of
the people. Passing a tally-ho con-
tanning some of Charleston's Harvard
alumni, decked with the college colors,
he was greeted with the college yell
and evidently was very much pleased.
After the parade the President went
into the Auditorium and bowed and
smiled his acknowledgements to the
cheering which greeted him from 10,-
600 people.
At the exercises which followed
President Roosevelt's incisive, clear

There was much in what he said but
more in his manner of saying it. He
greeted his audience as americans
and while giving all credit to the South
and South Carolina for her part in the
history of the country, he made it plain
that there must be enterprise and in
dustry, continued and unceasing, if
success and achievements were to be
had in the future that would be COM

greetings to the President and his
party. Gov. McSweeny of South Caro-
