THE STATUS OF THE BOER WAR

THE STATUS OF THE BOER WAR,
The increased activity OF the Beers just
now is very likely for the purpose, large
ly, of helping along President Kruger 8
mission in Europe. Kruger makes no
concealment that his purpose In coming
TO the continent is to try and enlist some
power or powers in an effort to get better
terms for the Beers than the English are
disposed to accord them. 1t is a very for
Iern hope the President Is oherishing. but
unquestionsbiy it will be very helpful
TO his mission to be able to show that the
war in the Transvaal is by no means
over, as the English have been claiming,
ana that the burghers ara far from SUBJ
dued. Indeed to make any sort of a
case for Intervention, or for the use OF
good offices, Kruger must be able to
make it clear that the English
claim that the Transvaal Is
thoroughly conquered and annexed Co

Lord Roberts's proclamation annsxing

requisite showing.

warrant the expense of the trip, so the
authorities at North Yakima were wired
to grant her release.
