PEACE RuMoRs uNcoNFIRMED.
Nothing Officially Received That Beers
Have Accepted British Terms.


London, April 11.-Frederick Ruth
erford Harris. former secretary of the
British Chartered South Africa com
pany, was asked this morning at his
residence, Llangibly castle, Usk, Mon
mouthshire, If he had received a tele-
gram announcing that the Boer leaders
had accepted the British terms. Mr.
Harris replied that the rumor was en-
tirely without foundation
similar report of the alleged
agreement was carried by the Central
News and published by some of the
morning papers, which issued extra
editions. 1t appears to have originated
in the town of Rontypool adjacent to
Llangibly castle. The dispatch ap-
pearing in The Financier and Bullion
ist is not confirmed from any other
quarter The editor of the paper says
several words of the code message re-
ceived were very vague, but he believ-
ed his general Interpretation of the
dispatch to be correct.
From government sources the Asso.
ciated Press ascertains that the peace
negotiations are not expected to come
to a conclusion so quickly as the pre-.
mature reports indicated. The belief
that there will be considerable parley.
ing also exists in circles intimate With
the ROer leaders on the continent, who
maintain that no peace can be arrived
at unless the British grant some con.
cession form of amnesty to Cape reb.
els.
Whether this contention will prove
well founded or otherwise is only
matter Of conjecture, but it appears
certain that the EoGrs will hold out
until all expedients Of negotiations are
exhausted in an endeavor to gain this
point.
Some of those who are in close
touch with South Africa believe that
ten days may elapse before a definite
conclusion is reached. In the mean
while the presence of such representa-.
tives as are at Klerksdorp and other
factors create an al-round hopeful
feeling This was reflected on the
stock exchange today in the advance
of consols and Kaffirs.
Up to 10:30 a. IN. the government
had received no official news bearing
out the statements that peace had
been arranged

cigars. Adonowicz, undaunted by the
pistols leveled at him, seized a bottle
from the bar and assailed his captors
with vigor so sudden that both were
stretched out in trice Thap Adono-
wicz, maddened at the sight of the
lOOting, snatched a revolver from a
third rObber and opened fire. Michael
Bensley, one Of the intruders, fell with
bullets in his hip and abdomen Bens-

the fire. The scene had become a gen
eral riot. Chairs were hurled through
the windows and the bar wrenched
from its fastenings. The bullets flew
wild, but one of the robbers put Adono-
wicZ hors de combat with a blow on
the head.
Charles Ashmus, living over the sa-
loon, attracted by the noise, rushed in
to the street just III time to meet two
of the highwaymen who were leaving
the place. One of the men promptly
shot at him. The bullet inflicted a
scalp wound and knocked Ashmus
senseless. The men took 81 from him
and departed

Bensley, who was unconscious on the
floor, had fled Later Herman Podehl

scious, but were easily resuscitated.
