Disquieting Rumors.
London, May 2 dust before Parlla

reached-the lobbies; that a hitch had
occurred in the peace negotiations. No
thing offlctal concerning this rumor
could be ascertained, but a dispatch
from 'Pretoria. In which It was-stated
that. the prevalence throughout South
Africa of an optimistic feeling n re
gard to the peace negotiation - was
hardly based upon solid facts, may be
regarded as an Indication that such a
hitch ha occurred. Little Informa
tion from Pretoria has been, able, re
cently, to pass the censor.
