London, June 10, a. m.-Lord Roberts ac-
sent a message to COmmandant-G General Louis
Botha June Is suggesting disarmament. and
complimenting the bravery of the burghers It
was pointed out that the surrender would be

the proposal, and hostilities were renewed.
The Boer commanders are retiring on Middle

treat to the Lydenburg district, where the
