which says that during the afternoon Cen
eral Cronje. the Boer commander, sent au
envoy to Colonel Baden Powell under n
nag of truce to declare that he did not
consider the Geneva convention authorized
the flag of the Red Cross society to fly
from several buildings at once in the
town. and that in his opinion the employ
ment of natives against whites and the
use OF dynamite mines were both opposed
to the rules OF war.
Colonel Baden Powell replied that the
Geneva convention did not stipulate as 20
the number OF Red Cross stations permits
sible, and that the Beers were only re-
auired TO respect the convent the hospital
and women's lager, all of which were be-
yond the town limits. The British com
mander also pointed out that the mines
were recognized adjuncts of civilized war
fare and that the defenses of Pretoria
were extensively Mined Moreover, ne re-
minded General Cronje that the Beers had
fired upon natives, burned their kraals
and raided their cattle, and that the ma
tives only defended their lives and prop
erty.
Despite three warnings from Colonel
Baden Powell. the Beers deliberately con-
tinued to shell the hospital and the WOO
