70 VOTE ON PEACE TERMS
Kitchener Agrees to Give Boer Com

so ANNOUNCED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
Roer Leaders Leave Pretoria to Carry
Out the Plan-Expected That IL
VIII be About Three Weeks Before
Result IL Known-ActiOn of Beers
Was Entirely Spontaneous.

London, April 19.-Oficial news re-
garding the peace negotiations now
pending in South Africa discloses the
fact that though the proceedings are
dilatory there is good ground for the
hope that the war will be closed be-
fore another month has passed. Most
of the Boer delegates are willing to ac-
cept the proposals of the British au-
thorities, and it rests with few Lead
ers in the field to give their consent
to the signing of peace treaty. The
government leader, A. j. Baltour, III
the house of commons yesterday made
the following important statements:
AFTER two conferences between Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner OF
South Africa, and Lord Kitchener ana me
Boer delegates at Pretoria, Lord Kitchen
er, while refusing to grant an armistice,
on military grounds, has agreed to give
facilities for the election and meeting OF
representatives of the various Boer COM
mands to consider the position. The Boer
leaders have, therefore, left Pretoria, to
carry out this plan."
Mr.. Balfour added that it was not
expected that communication be-
tween the British authorities and the
Boer leaders could be resumed in
less than three weeks time.
Favorable Impression.
Mr. Balfour's statement made a
generally favorable impression. 1t
was argued among the members that
the action of the Boer leaders DEM
onstrates that, at any rate, ma
jority of the delegates favor the &C
ceptance of the suggested British
peace terms. The submission of the
question to plebiscite of the burgh~
ers is according to Boer law, which
requires the leaders of armed forces
in the field to take the opinion OF
their followers before concluding
peace.
Action Was Spontaneous.
It is officially asserted that the
continental statements to the effect
that the Boer leaders went to Pre-
toria at the suggestion of the Brit
ish authorities are absolutely I'M
founded. The action of the Beers
was entirely spontaneous, and this
is regarded here as the best evidence
of a genuine desire to bring about
settlement by peaceful negotiations,
and as being indicative of the char
acter of the advice which will be-
given to the .burghers by the leaders
who are now returning to their va
rious commands.
