THE BOER WAR.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, April 10. Mr Gerald Balfour, speaking at Leeds, said he personally was not sanguine of the result of the Boer leaders' consultations in South Africa. The terms offered in March, 1901, regarding the future status of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony were still open. Beyond that the Government were not prepared to go at present. Mr Long, speaking at Newington, said the Government were determined not to permit diplomacy to imperil the great sacrifices of tho war. Earl Spencer, in a speech at Lincoln, urged an amnesty to the rebels, early abolition of martial law, early self-govern-ment, and liberal expenditure on farms. Independence was impossible. General lan Hamilton is commanding tho forces which are operating against De la Rey. Tho Boer delegates and Botha have been conferring at Klerksdorp since Monday, and are now awaiting Do la Rey and Steyn. The transport Manchester Merchant, with 267 South Australian and Queensland soldiers, has sailed from Natal for Albany.
