PEACE OVERTURES.
INGENIOUS MISREPRE-
SENTATIONS
THE UNRESPONSIVE
CONTINENT.
(Received 9.20.)
LONDON, March 12,
j The President's ovei*tures represent jthat the British territory was occupied jstratagetically ancl .defensively; that I the loyalty of the colonial Dutch is un--1 shaken; and that, as British prestige has been re-established, they claim independence and amnesty for loyalists. The war was one of conquest, and they had resisted to the uttermost. LONDON, March 11. President Kruger's overtures for peace met with a chilling reception on the Continent. Presidents Kruger and Steyn invited the Powers to intervene to secure an honourable peace. On the Continent the overhires for peace are admittedly inadmissible.
