' London, t&Iarch 24. In the house of commons today, the war secretary, Mr. Broderick, announced that a fortninght ago'; Mr. iSchalk Burgher Intimated to Lo.rd Kitchener his desire to be granted a safe conduct -through the British line and back, , in order to see Mr. Steyn with reference to the possibility of peace proposals. Lord Kitchener, with the consent of the government, has ac ceded to the. request. The announce ment of the war secretary was receiv ed with cheers. ' There is little disposition in London to regard the news of a visit of the Boer government to Pretoria as any too hopeful. Official circles " express the doulbts, held throughout, ; of the ability of Acting President Schlak -Burger and the other civilian leaders, of the O30ers tolinduce such men as General DeWett and Delarey to. surrender. Possibly they think the representatives of the Transvaal government are desirous of suing for peace," but there is -nothing to show "that they have any authority to impose submission of the command ers, in the field. The most hopeful sign they see is the announcement that Lord Kitchener permitted Mr. Schalk-Bur- 'K;wteJE2Si? onthe.spot and therefore most thor- (oughly conversant with the situation, faith of the Transvaalers he would not have permitted the visitors to continue L lc!r V"s-sy " uc1 w i Liicir-r vraugc ixvivei uuiuiiy miiioo. xiic i.i r ,-r.t.. .niitvr. rm.n Te cenT in well same caution permeates -the newspaper nformwi oirolfS. Some imfflcaMe is imprison- attached to the fact that, in approach j . ing 'Lord Kitchener, Mr. Schalk-Bur- ger and those associated with him have carried out to the "letter the advice given toy the British foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne, in his reply to the peace note of the Netherlands govern ment, said the quickest and most satis factory means for arranging a 'settle ment would toe by direct communication between the .leaders of the Boers and British commander in South Africa. There is no sign, however, that the Transvaal (mission received any man date from the fighting general or that the latter appeared to recognize the authority of their acting president to negotiate terms for peace. It is felt that there is little likelihood of a sim ultaneous surrender of the burghers still in the field on the order of the Boer government. The best to (be hoped for is that the present overtures will so modify. the situation as to bring peace hearer. V The Pall Mall Gazette wouLfl "like to at the height of moral courage, once attained by Gen. Lee, and have real- ized that the truest patriotism does not consist in the prolongation of a. hope less struggle." i The paner confesses, however, that the military situation is not auspicious for such a change of mind. j The St. " James Gazette extracts from ,the unilluminative dispatches thus far 'received froni Pretoria the theory that Mr. Schalk-Burger and the other mem- bers of the paper have possibly already, surrendered and have been released on parole for- the purpose of seeing1 Presi dent Steyn and General (Dewet The news from South Africa had a general- 'good effect on the stock ex change. . , The .Hague,-March 24.
