DOM PAUL TALKS.
Correspondent Found Him in Car at
Maehadodcrp.


London, June 1.-THE executive
Offices Of the Transvaal government are
in railway car, which is shunted on
a switch at Machadodorp. President
Kruger caused the interior of the coach
to be reconstructed some time ago,
with view to contingencies that have
now arrived. A correspondent of the
Daily Express, who went from Lou
renco Marques to see President Kruger,
was received yesterday. The presi-
dent sat smoking long pipe. He
looked worried, but his bearing itself
was quiet and determined. He did
not make the least objection to being
interviewed. The correspondent was
equipped for the interview by cables
from London.
YES" said President Kruger, ''it
Ia quite true that the British have oc-
cupied Pretoria. This, however, does
not end the war. The burghers are
fully determined to fight to the last.
They will never surrender SO long as
500 armed men remain in the country.
/ feel encouraged by the fine work
Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free
State"
The correspondent suggested that the
war was over, inasmuch as the capital
had been taken.
The capital" exclaimed President
Kruger, with energy, 'twhat is a capi-
tai? 1t does not consist OF any particu-
lar collection OF bricks and mortar.
The capital OF the republic, the seat of
the government, is here in this car.
There is no magic about any special
site. Our country is invaded. it is
true, but it is not conquered. The
government is still effective"
Referring TO the reason why he left
Pretoria, President Kruger said:
II was not foolish enough to be
taken prisoner. provided this means
OF locomotion precisely for the same
reason as our burghers supply them
selves with horses when they take the
field. 1t is necessary that / should be
able to move quickly from place to
place. That is all. Bye and bye this
car will take me back to Pretoria. For
the present, it enables me to keep
away from Pretoria, where / could be
OF no sevrice and where l should only
play into the hands Of the enemy"
