Show WILL NOT INTERVENE. Secretary Ilay Receives Boor Envoys, But Declines to Intervene. The state department has met the issue raised by the coming to Washington Wash-ington of the Boer delegation, by declining de-clining to intervene in behalf of the South African republics in the present struggle. The conference of Boer delegates with Secretary Hay lasted about an hour. At the end of that time the delegates del-egates retired. They said they had no statement to make. The secretary informed them that the tender of good officers, previously made, was as far as this government could go. |
