As Stated by a Letter From Boer
Envoy to p. L. Vessels.

P. .Louter Vessels, special COM
missioner of the South African
republics to the United States
today received letter from Sec
rotary De Bruin of the Boer
ENJOYS, now in Holland, containing
the first reliable Information of
the plans Of President Kruger.
The letter states that President
Kruger will leave. Deiagos Bay on
the Netherlands warShip Gelder-
land early in October and thus he
has probably already embarked.
He will be taken TO Holland,
where the emvOys are awaiting
him. la regard to the iUtimatiOn
in British newspapers that Eng
lish Wsrships may be sent in pur-
suit Mr.. Vessels said the euvCys
were 10 position to state officially
that any such action by England
wOuldOe accepted by the Neither
lands as o direct declaration of
war, and the little Dutch nation
would act accordingly. President
krpger bears commission from
e1e Boer republics, but exactly
what it is not even the ENJOYS
know. They suppose, however,
that he will endeavOr TO secure
Intervention by one or all of the
powers to the end that
the individuality of tbs republics
shall not be annihilated. AS.
sistance is expected from the
United States.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE
Considerably. Improved in soutf
Africa by British Success
at Bethlehem.

London, July 11.-Boers fercely re-
sisted the British at Bethlehem in a
battle that lasted for hours. The
town was finally captured by Rob-
erts' forces, but with considerable
loss.
Pretoria, July 12.-The British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it
is said. The whole of the government
of President Steyn of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except Presi-
dent Steyn himself. Those officials
who are prisoners have been allowed
to communicate with President Steyn
for the purpose of attempting to prove
to him the uselessness of a continu-
ance of the struggle which can only
produce bloodshed without any eoun-
terbalanclng advantages. The col
lapse of the forces of Gen. De Wet is
expected daily. The Beers here say
that the men have taken a solemn
oath never to personally surrender,
but they r beginning to see the un-
fairness of sacrificing life to personal
wishes. 1t is expected that when Gen.
Botha learns of the defeat of his col
leagues he will gladly enter into con-
~ferences looking to the establishment
of peace.
