PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. Reuter’s correspondent at Pretoria states on Wednesday that, in accordance with the arrangements made in April, six delegates chosen by the Boer Conference at Yereeniging, consisting of members of tbo former
Transvaal and Free State Governments, with General De Wet and General Do la Rey, accompanied by eight secretaries, arrived at Pretoria on Sunday. The delegates were lodged in a house next to Lord Kitchener’s. The Daily Telegraph states that the delegates include Generals Louis Botha, Sohalk Burger and Lucas Meyer, Commandant Beyers and Mr Smuts. The Standard says:—lf the delegates seek to bargain for compromise, relying on the results of protracted disputation, they are doomed to disappointment. The wisest thing will be to make that fact clear at the outset. A strict censorship is being observed over cable messages from. Pretoria. Mr Bennett Burleigh, correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, has cabled to a relative for communication to the Telegraph the fact that he is returning to England. This the Telegraph interprets as a circuitous announcement that the British terms have been accepted, and that peace is in sight. The Times states that a pessimist like Mr Chamberlain is hopeful, though not sanguine, and fears that irreconcilables may wield a disproportionate power for evil.
