LONDON, March 21.
Mr. Parnell has been in Ireland for some time past. His prolonged absence has caused much comment and criticism on the part of his followers in the House of Commons.
The Daily News to-d-.y publishes information from Natal, regarding the terms of peace with the Boers. These include, it is stated, an undertaking that the Boers should disperse their forces, and break up their garrisons forthwith, England, at the same time, agreeing to continue an inquiry into the Boers' demands through a Royal Commission, in order that a permanent settlement of the difficulties in the Transvaal may be arrived at. At the wool sales on Saturday, 4000 bales were catalogued. Prices generally ruled 10 to 15 per cent, higher. It has transpired that Sir Arthur Gordon and Commodore Wilson have communicated with the Secretary of State for the Colonies regarding the report of the Intercolonial Conference on the subject of the South Sea Islands massacres, and the powers of the High Commissioner for the Western Pacific. Their letters reply mainly to the comments of the report, which Commodore Wilson characterises as a scurrilous libel.
