United States Intermediary in Boer Peace Proposals

The presidents of the two Dutch republics having endeavored in vain to induce one or more of the continental powers to act as intermediaries between them and England for the conclusion of peace, have turned to the United States, and President McKinley has directed that the peace proposals of the two republics be cabled to the English Government. It is stated that in this the United States will act simply as an intermediary and not as a mediator.
