Mr Seddon's Opinion on the | Peace Conditions. London, June 11. A conference of Magistrates at Orange Colony has discussed the question of the earliest date of the repatriation of the Boers. The skirmishes which have occurred are due to the great area to be covered. The peace emissaries have a difficulty in communicating the early news of peace to isolated outposts. Three hundred and seventy-seven Boers have surrendered at Hopstad, including 331 rebels. Seven thousand Boers had surrendered up to Monday morning. Mr Seddon, in the course of an interview at Madeira, said he would have preferred firmer peace conditions. • The Berlin newspaper Neu Preuss Krenz Zeitung urges Germany and America to co-operate and secure the maintenance of an open door in South Africa. Opperman's commando has surrendered at Pretoria. The members were delighted at peace. Mullen's commando, at Balmoral, gleefully threw down their rifles and insisted on shaking hands with the British officers. They had a big sing-song in the evening. Fouche represented the Boer Government when Bezindenhout's and Odendaat's commandos surrendered at Aliwal. Fouche, in responding to Colonel Pervan's complimentary welcome, expressed the hope that next time he might fight beside the British.
