INTERVIEW WITH CHURCHILL
He is Treated by the Beers With
Great Kindness.

Pretoria, Nov. 24.-Through the
courtesy of the Transvaal authorities,
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, in the company of Mr.. L. @.
Grobler, under Secretary for Foreign
Affairs and Mr. DE Souse, Secretary of
the War Department, was enabled to
visit Winston Churchill today at the
Model School, where he is confined with
the captured officers. Beyond a slight
bullet wound in the right hand he seem
ed well and looked hearty, although
naturally chating under enforced idle
ness. In the course of the interview
Mr.. Churchill said
The Beers have treated us with much
kindness. This was the case from the
outset. They praised our defense of the
armored rain and expressed surprise
that the locomotive was saved from be-
coming a hopeless wreck, as they ex-
pected. under their artillery fire. We
were then marched through a pouring
rain to Colenso, proceeding the next
morning to the Boer camp near Lady
smith and then going by rail to Modder-
spruit, finally arriving here on November
18TH On the journey great numbers of
burghers crowded to see u.s. but there
was only one who made insulting re-
marks, the others courteously offering
us cigarettes or showing us marks of
attention"
Lieutenant Churchill said the confne-
ment in the Model school was close and
severe, but under the conditions he had
no grounds to complain. When asked
regarding his impression, he said he had
had many discussions with the Beers as
to the rights of war, and had been much
impressed by the number who could
speak English He had found that
most of them regretted the conflict, as
serting that it had arisen as the result
OF misrepresentation. So far as he
could learn, however, the spirit of the
burghers in the field, despite their priva-
tions, was most determines; and there
was no chance of an early peace.
Il fear" said Mr. Churchill, that the
struggle will be bloody and protracted. :"
