MORE RUM0RS OF PEACE
BUT NO COMPENSATORY REPORTS
RECEIVED FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Definite News of the Action of the
Beers Not Expected for Two Weeks
General Foreign News.

LONDON, April 30.-There is no truth in
the report circulated in the United States
to-day that General Delary. with three
Boer commanders, has surrendered to the
British in South Africa. The officials of
the Foreign Office say they do not expect
definite news regarding peace much earlier
than a fortnight from date. Meanwhile,
they consider the prospects favorable. The
question OF amnesty to the Cape rebels is
understood to constitute the obstacle at
present. The War Office received dispatches
from Lord Kitchener to-day, but he made
no mention of surrenders.
Operators on the Stock Exchange were
busy with peace rumors. but they were all
very intangible. Two Boer commanders
were said to have surrendered. This later
was supplemented by the New York report
that General Delary and three commanders
had given themselves up. AS a matter of
fact, Delary arrived at Klerksdorp April
"a. and his commands, under General Kemp,
were arranging to hold a meeting westward
of that place during the present week.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 30.-The May
day strike fever is on in this city, and in
the morning nearly 1900 workmen will fail
to report for duty because their employers
have refused to comply with their demands
for advances in wages and shortening OF

who will strike tomorrow are the struc-
tural iron workers, numbering $500; car
penters, 5000; house wiremen, 25O; tileset-
tiers. 200; slate and tileroofers. 300; sheet
500; bricklayers. 1900; fathers, 800 The
striking of these men will stop much of the
building operations now under progress.
The scales of the painters, plasterers or
namental iron workers and elevator con-
structors and ice men have been signed. 1t
was hoped to-day that the structural iron
workers strike would be averted by
compromise offered by the American Bridge
Company In this offer the company agreed
to pay Az cents an hour for an eight-hour
day for Pittsburg workers. and including
all within radius of seventy-five miles. a
special meeting of the union was held to-
night and the offer was rejected. Similar
meetings were scheduled for Cleveland and
Wheeling.

ers and joiners there will strike tomorrow

NEW YORK, April 30-After spending
two entire days in endeavoring TO arrive at
a settlement of their differences the opera
tors and representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America, who were
brought together by the good offices of the
National Civic Federation, have again re-
ferred their troubles to the committee on

mittee will meet for the purpose of TAX
ing the matter UP had not UP 10 a late
nour tonight been definitely settled, but the
probability is that the meeting will take
place either Friday or Saturday of the
present week.
When the committee of operators and
representatives of the union adjourned sine
die shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon
a statement was given out which left the
general public as much at the situa-
ton as before the negotiations began Not
a scrap OF official or authentic information
was obtainahle TO show what progress if
any had been made towards settlement
Our conference with the operators" said
President Mitchell. of the United Mine

conference committee was appointed we

given out by the representatives OF the bic

Every effort TO obtain additional informa-
ton either from the operators or the min
ers who have taken part in the conference
proved futile. The operators however
seemed in a happy frame of mind Nor did
the miners sseem in any degree downcast
and the consensus OF opinion among out
siders was that some progress had been
mace towards an amicable settlement.
