EAGE FOR BOERS
THE TERMS OF SURRENDER FI
NALLY AGREED UPON
SIGHED BY BOTH CONTESTANTS
Curtain Finally Rung Down on Pro
longed Drama of War in Trans
vaal London is Unrestrained in
Its Delight
LONDON June 2 New York
World Cablegram London burst
into wild rejoicing when the signing of
the terms of peace became public
They were rejoicings of relief not of
triumph but soon the Mafeking spirit
began to assert itself and within half
an hour after the announcement union
jacks fluttered from street cars and
house windows and noisy gangs of
young men and women paraded the
streets blowing penny trumpets yell
ing patriotic songs and otherwise
liberating their long pentup feelings
But for a sudden deluge of rain which
acted as a damper the orgy of Ma
feking night would certainly have
been repeated Even as it was when
the rain cleared the streets again be
came thronged with roudy demon
strators and the infection of their
enthusiasm spread to the clubs and
restaurants where the conclusion of
peace was generally toasted and man
ifestations alike unrgnified and ab
surd were freely indulged in When
darkness fell the illuminations re
maining since the celebration of the
kings birthday were lit rockets were
sent up and the crowds cheered them
selves hoarse along the sidewalks un
til a late hour
Much speculation is caused as to
why the announcement was made on
Sunday instead of being reserved for
the house of commons today and the
explanation is suggested that the min
istry is desirous that the rejoicings
should go off at half cock because
when the full terms became known
they would show that there is little
to crow over while the situation in
Cape Colony over the agitation for the
repeal of the constitution is fraught
with the gravest peril The terms are
expected to be announced in parlia
ment today probably in the form of
a message from the king who desires
credit for forcing the settlement
It is understood that the Boers will
be permitted to keep their rifles and
a limited quantity of ammunition on
swearing allegiance They will be
promised atonomy within a brief j
period their farms are to be rebuilt
and re stocked and prisoners will be j
repatriated within a stated time on
condition that they take the oath of
allegiance It is also stated that the
British government will make a grant
to the Boers who prefer to start again
in another country including the Brit- j
ish colonies
The king has issued the following
message to the nation
The king has received the welcome
news of a cessation of hostilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction
and trusts that peace may be speed
ily followed by a restoration of pros
perity in his new dominions and that
feelings necessarily engendered by the
war will give place to the earnest co
operation of all his majestys South
African subjects in promoting the
welfare of their common country

TERMS OF THE BRITISH
Said to Have Been Voted Unanimous
ly by Boer Representatives
LONDON June 2 The Daily Mails
Pretoria correspondent under date of
June 1 says The acceptance of the
British terms was voted unanimously
by the Boer representatives The Brit-
ish government absolutely rejected the
proposal by the Boers that the terms
of peace should be submitted for rati
fication to Kruger and the Boer rep
resentatives in Holland hence no no
tice whatever has been or will be
taken of the Boers in Holland The
terms will show that the Biitish gov
ernment has carried its contentions on
j every minor point while minor con-
cessions particularly in regard to
1 generous financial treatment will
greatly appeal to the Boers in gen
eral
The Morning Express Brussels cor
respondent under date of June 1 says
Kruger was notified at 9 oclock that
peace had been concluded He ex
claimed My God it is impossible
Nothing has yet been allowed to
transpire which could be taken as re
liable indication of the exact terms of
the peace settlement Only one Lon
don paper pretends to have any definit
information on the subject this being
the Express which says the terms are-
1 Surrender of arms
2 Breakers of laws of warfare to
throw themselves on the kings clem
ency
3 Banishment to be inoperative
4 Burghers to get back their farms
5 Some Boer leaders to be employ
ed in new administration
6 British government to meet war
debt
7 Boers to have adequate repre
sentation and a share of local govern
ment
TAKES LOOK INTO CRATER
Prof Arigelo Heilprin Spends Two
Hours on Top of Mount Pelee
FORT DE FRANCE June 2--The
National Geographical society has
scored a great triumph Prof Angelo
Heilprin ascended to the top of the
crater of Mont Pelee yesterday in
company with two guides and Mr
Leadbetter While on the summit sev
eral violent explosions occurred but
notwithstanding the thousand dangers
surrounding him Prof Heilprin
spent a long time taking careful ob
servations Looking down the crater
he found a huge cinder cone The
crater opening is a vast crevasse 500
feet long and 150 feet wide
While engaged in this task the lives
of the members of the expedition
were continually in danger and one
particularly violent explosion covered
Prof Heilprin from head to foot with
the viscid matter He persisted how
ever and found as had been suspect
ed that there was three separate vents
for the volcanic matter Meanwhile
Mont Pelee seeming to resent the in
trusion of man belched out huge vol
umes of steam ashes and boiling hot
mud

Food Commissioner S C Bassett will
make an effort to secure an amend

cers have been heard from The ar
gument is used that surrounding
states have a pure food law but Ne
braska being without such regula
tions the state becomes the dumping
ground for adulterated articles Much
complaint is heard on account of
short weight and measure One
brand of baking powder which In
Minnesota is sold as a substitute or
impure is sold in Nebraska as
genuine As a result of an inspection
by the food commissioner of vinegars
