IT'S UP TO THE BURoHERs.
They WIN Vote on the Question of Peace In
south Africa.

south Africa.
The government leader, A. ]. Bal
four, in the house Of commons Friday
made the following important state
ment:
after two conferences between Lord
Milner, the British high commissioner
in South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and the Boer delegates at Pretoria,
Lord Kitchener, while refusing to
grant an armistice, on military grounds,
has agreed to give facilities for the
election and maintaining OF representa-
tives of the various Boer commands TO
consider the position. The Boer lead
ers have, therefore, left Pretoria to
carry out this plan"
Mr.. Balfour added that it was not
expected that communication between
the British authorities and the Boer
leaders could be resumed in less than
three weeks.
Mr.. Balfours statement made gen
orally favorable impression. 1t was
argued among the members that the
action of the Boer leaders demonstrate
ed that at any rate a majority OF the
delegates favor the acceptance of the
suggested British peace terms.
The submission of the question to a
vote of the burghers is according to
Boer law, which requires the leaders
of armed forces in the field to take the
option of their followers before con-
cluding peace.

Orders have been received in Manila
from Washington to hold court of in

that, to the best of his belief, the

latter, General Kaigerotf, thereupon
ordered out the Cossacks, and a scene
quite equaling the st. Petersburg riots
ensued. The Cossacks charged the
public in the Senate square and the
adjoining streets. They used their
lsnouts indiscriminately, and the chief
sufferers were cripples, aged persons
and children
Some men resisted the Cossacks, and
many persons on both sides were
| wounded, The crowd refused to dis
perse until the military ordered them
away The burgomaster finally per.
suaded General Kaigeroff to withdraw

submit the British terms.
1t is believed the Transvaalers will
everywhere accept the terms, as they
are in no way anxious for winter
campaign. The only difficulty likely
to occur will be, 1t is thought, with the
Orange River states, many of whom
are expected to prove recalcitrant.
In the meantime there will be no
cessation of hostilities. The delegates
are expected back to Pretoria the mid
die of May, and in anticipation of their
return they have given orders for new
