"April 17~In a despatch to bids NOT DEVELOPED ENOUGH To Say Whether Prospects Are Hopeful or Not THAT DISAGREEMENT LIKELY TO HAVE OCCURRED. Over the Question of Amnesty and Banishments -- Moderate Men Say Question Should Not Stand in Way of Peace. Lendon, April 17.~Among the morn- ing's crop. of remote specula- tions regarding peace negotia- tions there is nothing commending ab- solute The Graphic, which rarely professes to have inside' infor- of public events, but Shen it does "sually proves correct, s the situation hae not yet a suffi- ciently to enable any ove to say whe- ther. it ix hopeful or the reverse. It adds that it is altogether premature to talk of peace as though it was within range of immediate possibili- ties. Strictly speaking, there are yet no peace negotiations. hitch bas occurred in the peace nego- tistions. = No official statement has been issued, but the impression in po- litieal circles is that if negotiations prove abortive it will be owing to disagreement on the question of a general amnesty and the banishment proclamation Lord Milner, it is be ieved, has advised the cabinet that the loyalists of Cape Colony are ve- hemently opposed to the inclusion of rebels in any amnesty scheme. The opinion of moderate men in that the rebels ought to be published, but that the question ought not to be allow- ed to stand in the way of peace. News of the bighest importance is momentarily expected by the war of- fice. Boer delgates are proving very stubborn, but a good many peo- ple believe they will yield. Another difficulty in the way of peace is said to be the question of the restoration of representative government. "Sparring for time,' best describes the present status of the negotiations, neither side being willing to risk a decision which would break off the present conference. An agreement may be reached at any moment, but this is more likely to be the result of semi- mt action by lord Milner and lord Kitchencer, at Pretoria, than the rather involved conditional decisions of the eabinet at London. The lines of Great Britain's terms are now known to the govern ment representatives at Pretoria. Up- n these opliestationy the Snhinst | in patently ifting the responsibility of taking advantage of all opportuni 'tion, provided no cardinal prindiples "be anorificed. The government has ordered that the ¢able and telegraph lines between London and Pretoria be kept clear to insure the most prompt transmis- sion of lord Kitchener's mess There is good reason to believe that the Boers are vigorously demanding a representative government, and that this demand is opposed with equal vi- gor by the British representatives, It i= understood tliat the Boers strongly object to the long delay pro- posed by Great Britain before a re- presentative government be granted the former republics, and that they also insist that the number of Boer seats in the council be specified. Kitchener Captures 130 Boers. the wher office, dated Wednesday, at Pretoria, lord Kitchener reports the capture of 130 Boers in the Klerks- dorp district since April 1th. Drowned In An Uproar.
