PEACE IS NOT YET CERTAIN
Indications Great Britain Has Sent .
Counter Proposal 70 the Beers

Unwilling Cabinet and Reserved
Privilege Of Announcing

LONDON. May 25.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-Peace or war
is still hanging in the balance. The OPP
timistic predictions INDUCED in here must
be taken as colored by intense anxiety 70
end a war which has only been frsught
with humiliation. and II continued may pos
sibly even now end in overwhelming de-
feat. The World correspondent is about to
say that the main points OF difference were
to fixing a time limit for the establish
ment OF Boer autonomy. the immediate re-
storing OF their rights to the Dutch in Cape
Colony. the using OF the cable to consult
the Boer leaders in Holland and the formal
embodying Of the terms ultimately agreed
upon into an instrument signed by both
parties.
The British cabinet has already refused to
consent to the first part OF these proposals
and II. as rumored. II IL confirmed there
was a refusal yesterday, then the chances Of
peace are seriously ieopardized.
From hints let fall however. from min
~isterial quarters, It is probable that counter
proposals a1ording a basis for a compromise
were forwarded. , At and rate, it is clear
that as the ministers have returned TO the
country for the week they do not expect
70 answer until next week.
One feature OF the situation making for
peace is the active participation in the
negotiations by the king.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain remained
in London at the kings request TO communi-
cate all the news Immediately on its ar
rival. The king wants peace at almost any
cost and II is now known that the overtures
from Lord Kitchener which induced the
Boer leaders to come in. were the result
Of a determined pressure by the king on an
unwilling cabinet.
II 1t is peace 1t will be the kings peace,
and the World correspondent learns that
the king has s~ignihed his desire to make
known personally to the nation the result
Of the negotiations IL possible. The form
these communication should take is still
undecided. but probably II would be a mes
sage to both houses Of Parliament.
S~uperhuman efforts are being made to
keep the secret, SO that the king shall not
be forestRlled.

Representative Flood OF Virginia, whose

purchase Of Natural Bridge by the national

Mr.. Flood regards the Natural Bridge

lives from other sections OF the country
