Hitch In Peace Negotiations.

London, April l6-The Daily Mail In
It's issue this morning says Il under
stands a serious hitch has occurred in
the peace negotiations in South Africa.
The cabinet has decided to refuse a
strongly worded request from the Boer
leaders at Pretoria for an armistlce
pending the negotiations,
This alone Is not likely to cause the
Beers to withdraw from the conference,
says the Daily Mail, but what threat
ems TO stop the negotiations Is the fact
that the government declines to place
the Cape rebels on the same footing
as the burgers with Respect TO am
nesty, and is not inclined 70 withdraw
the banlshmsnt proclamation.
These features are regarded by the
Beers as two cardinal principles In the
lrreducible minimum OF terms which
Lord Miner went to Pretoria 10 ascer-
tain and In return for which the Beers
agree 70 the loss Of independence and a
general surrender. Their other de-
mandsl continues the Daily Mail, are
that Great Britain shall rebuild and re-
stock the farms, take over the legal
claims and liabilities Of the two repub-
lies and grant representative gov
eminent with shorter period than Is
now contemplated.

RECIPROCITY
DEBATE CLOSES

Washington, April l5.-With the close
cf the Cuban reciprocity debate in the
house today the leaders announced that
all danger of the bill being weighted
down with undesirable amendments
was over, and that they felt assured
the bill would pass IN the shape IN
which II came from the committee. As
the bin In lis present form is sure TO
command three-fourths Of the vote OF
each side Of the house, its passage was
certain II It successfully passed the
stage when amendments could be Of
lered.
The only cause Of anxiety heretofore
has been the possibility that enough
Republicans would join with the DEM
ocrats TO oyerrule the chair and tack
on TO the bill an amendment to abolish
the diflerential on refined sugar All
the energies OF the leaders have been di.
rected therefore, TO bringing pressure
TO bear on the Republicans to induce
them to refrain from aiding this plan,
and this evening at the close OF the
session of the house II was announced
that the entire Republican delegations
from Michigan and California who
constitute the head and front Of the
opposition, had agreed not to vote 10
override the ruling of the chair.
Mr.. Watson Of Indiana, who Is act
ing as the whip for the majority, does
not believe over n dozen Republicans
at the outside win join the Democrats
I'm this proposition II would require
more than 20 Republican votes 10
replace on the bill the amendment
which might endanger It's ultimate
passage, as several Democrats, II Is
understood also have declared their in
tention to stand by the ruling of the
chair.
An unsuccessful effort was made
again today by Mr. Payne 10 secure an
agreement to limit the general debate
When the house adjourned today there
remained thlrty-hve members who de-
sired TO speak The debate today was
without particular interest The speak
ers were Messrs Swanson Of Virginia
and White Of Kentucky for the bill,
and Messrs. 6. w. Smith OF Michigan.
