SOME DETAILS REMAIN TO BE SETTLED British Offer the Alternative of At eeptlusr Conditions Laid Down or Breaking Off tho Negotiations. LONDON. April 18. The Dally Mall claims to have authority to announce that basis of pete have been practically agreed on at Pretoria, but says that some little time will elapse before the details ot the plan can bo perfected. The paper adds that upon Boding that the British government refused on Wednes day to modify Its terms with regard to amnesty, banishment and a responsible government, the Boer delegates met again on Thursday. The British decision, practically leaving them the alternative of accepting the Brit ish terms, or breaking up the conference waa then communicated to them and the delegates proved more reasonable. When Lord M liner, the British high commissioner In South Afrlcs, promised the delegates ne or two seats In the executive council, subject to the approval of the government and pending the restorstlon ot a respon sible government, they practically agreed to accept the British terms. Some details, contlnuea the Dally Mall, which are not likely to create difficulty, still remain to be settled. Lord MUncr has summoned from Johannesburg an Aus tralian expert, who Is to assist In estimating the coat ot rebuilding and restocking the Boer farms. The delegstes, concludes the paper, have so far acted quite Independ ently of their representatives In Holland. Hsne Sauer, a loyalist Afrikander, speak ing at Bradford tonight, waa not optimistic concerning the peace negotiations. He said be thought It quite probable that the Boers would ask Great Britain for 50.000,000 or The Flavor of & intM Hunter Baltimore Rye Is concentrated from Its uniform Quality Purity Age and Is always recognized. ; ItlatheAmer 5ca j Gentleman's Whiskey m aM f'l ftrvt )M nlM ut r loblxrw SB bUilAR B mom, WUMfl, 90,000.000 and agree In turn to clear out of South Africa altogether. Serious differences. It Is said, have arisen between the Transvaal and Free 8tate delegates who are discussing peace terms at Pretoria. Gen eral Botha and Acting President Schalk burger, it Is reported, have given the Free State representatives until April 12 to come to a decision, threatening that there after the Transvaal delegation will con tinue the peace negotiations Independently of the Free 8tates delegates. It Is further declared that Botha and Schalkburger had practically agreed upon trms for surrender prior to their visit to Klerksdorp, but that out of loyalty to their allies they Insisted on a confer ence, though with slight bopee that their views should be shared by General Dewet and the other Free State leaders.

DENOUNCES THE CRIMES ACT Redmond Says Conspiracy- Exists In England to Foment Lawless, ness In Ireland. LONDON. April 18. In the House of Commons today John Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader, speaking of the crimes act proclamation Issued last night by the lord lieutenant ot Ireland, Earl Cadogan, declared that an Infamous conspiracy was on foot in England to foment crime In Ire land, where none existed. The stories ot riots and outbreaks In Ireland were Infa mous calumnies. The nationalists In Ire land were only governed by a contemptible minority. Thla statement waa cheered by the Irish members. A hundred men, continued Mr. Redmond, stood ready to replace every man sent to prison In thla struggle. They entreated Mr. Wyndham. the chief secretary for Ire land, to change his policy, but it he con tinued they would meet him face to face and give blow for blow. Their answer to his coercion of Ireland would be to harden heir hearts, strengthen their organisation and compel redress. Mr. Wyndham replied that while It was true that there waa a comparative absence In Ireland of crime against the person, the Uvea of persons were made miserable by Intimidation and boycotting. The govern ment was not acting from political mo tives, but as the result of a mass of In formation laboriously collected and care fully examined. John Redmond and John Dillon have sent a Joint cablegram to former Congressman John F. Flnerty ot Chicago appealing for American sympathy and support In the struggle against coercion.
