A despatch from Lord Kitchener to the War Office, dated Pretoria, Feb 28, reports a. long intervi w with General Botha. who showed wry good feeling and seemed anxious for peace.

London, March 23.-â€"The Parlia- mentary papers, giving details of the negotiations between the Boer Com- manderâ€"in.Chief, Gen. Botha, and Lord Kitchener, commanding the British forces in South Africa, issued yesterday morning, begin with a tele- gram from Sir Alfred Milner to Cole onial Secretary Chamberlain. The despatch is dated Pretoria, February 22, and states that Mrs. Botha had returned from a meeting with her husband, bringing a letter in reply to Sir Alfred Milner's verbal mes- sage offering to meet Gen. Botha, as AL- Terms Offered by the British For the Boer Surrender. WHM GEN. BUIHH REFUSE}.

Botha generally seemed sat- lSfied with these conditions." Not Covarod by Kitchener. Among the questions to which Lord Kitchener apparvmly did not- reply were, when the war prisoners would return, and regarding- the tak- ing over of debts of the republics, including those legally contractdl since the beginning of the war. Gen. Botha was reported to be making a strong point. of this. He referred to notes which had been is- sued amounting to less than :1 mil- lion pounds. Lord Kitchener arranged to com- municate Botha’s views to his Gov- ernment. All that he said Was qualiâ€" fied by being subject to confirmation from the home (lovermuent. Replies to Botha‘s Questions. On March 3rd Sir Alfred Milner ca- bled Lord Kitchener, suggesting the following replies to Gen. Botha: “I beg to inform you that. on the cessation of hostilities and the. com- plete surrender of arms, ammunition, cannon and munitions in the hands of the burghers in the field, at Gov- ernment depots or elsewhere, His Ma- jesty's Government is prepared at once to grant amnesty in the Trans- vaal and “range. River Colony for all bonn tide acts of war duringr the hostilities. as Well as to move the. Governments of Cape, Colony and N u- tatl to similar action, qualified by the. disfranchisement of any British subject. implicated in the. war. The military prisoners in St. Helena, Ceylon, and elsewhere, on complete surrender, shall he brought back to their country. Military law shall at one be. replaced by a civil adminis- tration, but it is the desire of His Majesty's (:overnnient. as soon as circumstances will permit, to estabâ€" lish a. repreSentntiVe Government. On the cessation of hostilities. a. High Court, independent 01’ the Executive, shall be. established to administer the laws. Land, church property, trusts, and orphan funds shall be respected. Dual Language Premltted. “The English and the Dutch lan- guage shall be taught in the Public Schools and allowed in the law courts. The legal debts of the State to the amount of £1,000,000 shall be paid even if contracted during hostilities, to the extent a. creditor PikY-fi he has giVen Value. The Gov- om does not intend to extend t? gem-such “ l'nfll‘ The letter concludes: “I must in- form Your Honor that. if the terms now offered are not accepted after a reasonable delay for c0nsidora‘.i0n. they must. be regarded as cancelled." On March 16 Lord Kitchener rcâ€" ceivml Gen. Botha's acknowledgment of the receipt of the letter. "I had atlvisw my (.‘m~’ernm9nt." Wrnfe Gen. Botha, “of your excellency's let- ter, but after the mutual exchange. of views in our interview at Middle- burg. Feb. 28, it will certainly not surprise your excellency to know that I do not feel disposed to recom- mend the terms of said letter: but, they shall have the earnest consider- ution of my. Government. I may add that my Government and my chief officers here entirely agree with my vicws.'1 ~ a. representative Govornment is granted . ’ ’ The conditions regarding assistance to farmers, firearms, etc., are the same as those in Lord Kitchcner's re- ply to Gen. Botha. Sir Alfred Mil- ner adds that he agrees to the above except as to the desire for modifica- tion regarding British subjects in Capo. Colony and Natal in the Boer army, who, if they return to those colonies, would be liable to be dealt with under the laws of those colon- ies passed to meet circumstances arising in war. as an act of grace to set aside a. million pounds to repay the inhabi- tants for goods requisitioncd by the Republican Governments. If the claims after adjustment exceed £1,- 000,000, they are liable to reduction pro rata. "The Kaffir franchise. when given. shall be so limited as to secure a. just predominant. of the white rams. The legal position of the Colored in- habitants vfiill be similar to that. now held by them in Cape Colony." Eventually Lord Kitchener report- ed to the War Office under date of Pretoria. March 20, that he had Written Gen. Botha the terms the Government was prepared to adopt. Those are the same as already given, extent in the following particulars: ”The Government cannot undertake any liabilities regarding the debts of the late republics, but it is prepared No Amnesty For Rebels. He. adds: “While I am Willing to concede much in order to strengthen Gen. Botha in inducing the people to submit, amnesty for the rebels is not, in my opinion, a. point which His Majesty’s Government. can afford to concede. I think it would have a deplorable effect upon Cape Colony and Natal to obtain peace by such a concession.” Mr. Chamberlain, in a reply dated March 6, directs Lord Kitchener to modify the terms on a number of pointST Cape Town, March Emsâ€"The ‘Bner raiders in the eastern part of Cape Colony are, with the exception of-al- most daily skirmishes, keeping om. of the reach of the British.
