AMERICA AND THE BOER ENVOYS.
PREBIDENT MCKINLEY'S DECISION. IMPARTIAL NEUTRALITY TO BE OBSERVED. (Received 23, 1.10 a.m.)
Washington, May 22,
Colonel John Hay, Secretary for State, unofficially received and heard the Boer delegates in an interview lasting an hour. He then consulted President McKinley, and issued a statement reviewing the previous effort to bring about peace, and reiterating the Presidential declarations to avoid entangling alliances. Glauses 3 and 5 of The Hague Convention rendered farther action under the circumstances inadvisable, President McKinley feeling that the only course was to persist in a policy of impartial neutrality. Deviation therefrom would be contrary to all American traditions and national interests.
