suffered in their fights with the Beers to the
extent of SS2 men the Transvaal farmers
loss has been but 80 and at this rate they
believe they can at least maintain a long war
with the English.
A war with the Beers will prove a costly
proceeding 10 England, for Kruger's first
move will be to rush over the border to
Kimberley and wreck the diamond mines
that have produced $500, 900, 900 worth Of dia-
monds in twenty-five years. There is a
militia regiment at Kimberley, but 1t is not
strong or well-armed and they could not
withstand an attack by the Beers. The
johannesburg mines he could destroy at
his leisure. They produce s125, 200, 900 worth
Of gold every year and are owned almost
entirely by Englishmen.
Laing's Mex is a pass In the Drakensberg
mountains and it is the key to Natal. 1t is
Kruger's plan to secure this and from there
ravish the colony of Natal. 1t would be easy
for him to destroy the railroad communica-
lions, and the Mex is pierced by a tunnel
lib feet long and the Natal railroad worms
its way around mountain peaks at a great
height and one sortie would suffice to de-
stray it's usefulness.
The Boer Rad has been experimenting
in the last two years with devices to utilize
the railroads in the Transvaal in event OF
war, and to this end have employed skilled
engineers to construct fortified cars consist
ing simply of a steel bed with an oval COW
ering OF wrought steel. This hood is large
enough to contain a company OF sharp
shooters, who fire from portfolios, and a large
quantity CT ammunition. 1t is intended to
operate these modern Trojan horses on the
various lines running out from Johannes
burg. Kruger has been progressive in recent
years with regard to railroads, and the sys-
TENS in the Transvaal compare favorably
with those OF Cape Colony. One line con-
meets at Volksrust with the Natal line; an
other runs south through the Orange
Free State, connecting with the Cape Colony
road; a third runs northward to Petersburg;
a fourth goes directly eastward to Delagoa
bay in Portuguese territory, while a short
line has just been completed which makes
connections with Cecil Rhodes Cape to
Cairo system, westward from johannesburg.
The country is thus fairly well covered with
railroad lines, and IL the iron cars prove
serviceable they could be operated in all d.
~rections from the capital.

example Of more advanced nations. The
first step was to erect forts at Johannes
burg and Pretoria. The former now re-
poses under the brow of strong Notifications.
There are six forts altogether and they COM
mand a broad expanse Of country. In these
be has placed long range rife guns OF
French and German patterns and numerous
quick firing guns. He has filled four ware
houses with arms and made secret tunnels
underneath the gold fields so that the town
of Johannesburg can be destroyed by one
train Of powder, for the motto of the Beers
Is the same as that of William of Prague:
Rather a ruined country than no country"
Pretoria's Four Forts.
Pretoria is guarded by four forts, one at
each of the four corners of the town. Heavy
guns of the Krupp make are installed here
under the direction of German, Holland and
French officers. Men have been drilled to
train these guns effectively and the town
is supplied with provisions to Withstand a
long siege.
The latter method has been the ~favorite
one spoken Of by the English to conquer
the Beers. The Transvaal is such a poor
country that wild animals cannot exist in
some parts of it. and the British experts
have always said that to starve the burgh-
ers would be the easiest way of snbeuing
them. Kruger has provided against this In
som measure by building a areat g-anary
where meats and canned food are stored In
large quantities. He has little fear OF such
a pass, however, and to the writer recently
said that the English might "build a wall
around them high as Jericho" and then he
and his people could live comfortably for
twenty years.
The old Beers do not worry much about
Omaha daily bee., 1899-09-24

IL is a common sight to meet in the open
veldt two or three strapping girls swinging
along with a rifle on the lookout for hart
beeste or turkey buzzards.
In fact the women count on doing their
share OF the fighting. Since the Beers left
Cape Colony in 1886 the feminine portion
have been accustomed to loading a rifle
behind the laager and IL necessary firing it
at a black face. In case of war with the
English they are supposed to look after the
hocks and herds and defend the homestead,
and every Boer hut in the Transvaal in
wartime is a fortified block-house defended
by a company Of girls and boys with the
mother Of the home in command.
What they most fear is an uprising Of the
natives, the very Thought Of which gives
every white person in South Africa a chill
OF horror. II a chieftain should arise with
the ability OF Dungeon or Jchaka at the time
when the English and Beers were at war
the consequences would be too horrible TO
think of, With the bloodthirsty nature of
the North American Indian and surprising
him in Vicious cruelty, the African natives
could wipe out the whole population OF South
Africa, so greatly do they outnumber them.
surrounded by NIcious Natives.
Thus Mr.. Kruger counts on being able to
muster OK the very most s., 200 men in the
Transvaal and Orange Free State, but around
him are 367, 900 natives, little better than
savages, who are only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to massacre white men, not being par
ticular whether they are Beers or English.
The English town of Durham, Natal, contains
4 $1,000 white persons. Just north of them
are 500, 900 Zulus, who are the bravest black
in South Africa. No one knows what

to take the few cannon that were in Pre-
toria and go out to meet the invaders.
"Oh, no, Pet" said Dom Paul, don't
you suppose 200 OF our old farmers with
their rifles can stop 1000 ruineks?"
The result proved that Kruger was right.
The whole force that fought Jameson con-
sisted Of 400 men in two divisions sum
moned in a few hours from the open veldt.
Jameson began the attack with artillery.
The old plainsmen laughed at this.
Every man take to a rock" ordered
Commandant Cronje, and the farmers
lodged behind rocks and trees.
How the Beers Fight.
At the proper moment they advanced in
Indian skirmish in two divisions, opening a
deadly FIRE at 500 yards. The retormers
then cut loose with Maxims, but for once
the machine guns which have been used to
NOW down the African natives were of no
avail. The Beers we're so scattered that
they evaded the bullets. Jameson finally
opened with a twelve-pounder, but Cronje
told off twenty Beers to kill the gunnere,
which they did with precision and accuracy.
That practically ended the fight.
The strength Of the Beers as a military
nation lies in the fact that nearly every
man possesses innate wariness, and Is HIM
self a general. This man COME. who
captured the raiders, was not a celebrated
warrior, yet he took hold of a campaign on
a moments notice, mapped out his plans,
quickly led en- Jameson until he had him
surrounded and then went at him.
Until the last four years Kruger had taken
no precautions against a siege, relying en-
tirely on open warfare. After the Jameson
raid, however, he began to follow the
Omaha daily bee., 1899-09-24

attitude the blacks would take in case Of an
English-Boer war, but both Queen Victoria
and Dom Paul dread an uprising in this quar-
ter.
AS a fighter the Boer is a mixture of
strategy and religion. Before going into
battle each captain leads his troops in
prayer, for the Boer children are brought up
on the Heidelberg catechism, and the first
thing they learn is the answer to the queB-
tion: What is the only comfort in life and
in death?" The army then joins in singing
"Old Hundred" every man." as one
Englishman described it, trying to Guido
the other in slowness of time, each note
being prolonged for at least six beats" The
religion injunctions are not forgotten on the
march and travel on the Sabbath day is
tabooed as much as possible. Dom Pauls
prominence in the nation is due to his piety
as much as anything else, and when he was
commandant general and military leader he
could get a following by raising his hand.
The Beers are almost as great fanatics in
war as the Mohammedans, though their
natural strategy prevents them from reck-
lessly destroying themselves. Kruger rose
to fame by taking hold of a campaign
against the natives in which his predecessor
had failed. This man did not belong to the
Dopper church, which is the ultra-orthodox
branch of the Dutch Reformed that is in
the ascendant there. The Beers said the
Lord was against the other leader on &C
count of his heresy.
A Boer military camp, however, is not
entirely devoid of recreation. Shooting at
a mark is always in order and the young
men indulge in a rough sport that some
times proves serious. They call it throw
ing the ox-hide" and 1t consists in tossing

PREPARED TO FIGHT TO The DEATH

Copyrighted. 1899, by the S. S. Mcclure Coz
The Transvaal Boer is always ready to
fight at any minute of the day, and he may
DO at 1t before this article is printed. He
carries his rifle on his shoulder and a piece
OF bit tong in his pocket, marching around
over the veldt so that II a field cornet gal
lops up to tell him that war has been de-
clared he may start for the front instanter.
Prospects of an occasion to use his rifle
has ever sent a CLEAN into the ordinarily
dull eye Of the Boer and made of him a
changed man. Whether the object be a
human being or a wild duck matters not
to him, his one thought being to glance
along a cleaning barrel and hit small OBJ
jects at long range. When he shoots at a
British soldier. therefore, he first examines
him carefully to see II he is an officer and
then picks out some particular button or
conspicuous part of the uniform on which
to rest his sight.
