GEN. BOTHA IS BROREN DOWN.
Lord Roberts Tells Beers That
They Must Surrender at Once,
as Their Cause Is Hopeless.

A dispatch received at the war Off CO
in London Friday from Lord Roberts,
dated Machadodorp, September 18th,
says that Kruger has fed and Botha
has given over the command Of the
Boer army temporarily to Vilaion, on
account Of i'll health.
Lord Roberts gives the text Of a
proclamation which he has circulated,
in which he says Kruger's desertion Of
the Boer should make clear to his fell
low bGrghers that it is useless to con-
tinue the struggle any longer.
Lord Roberts declares the British
army is determined to carry the war
to a conclusion; says the fighting has
degenerated into irregular operations
which must be brought to an early
end, and concludes:
''The means / am compelled to
adopt are those which the customs Of
war prescribe as applicable to such
cases. They are ruinous to the coun-
try, and entail endless suffering TO the
burghers aud their families, and the
longer this guerilla warfare continues
the more vigorously must they be en-
forced"
According to the Lorenzo Marques
correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph, Mr.. Kruger is virtually a pris-
oner in theresidenco of the district gov
ernor. This is at the instance of the
British consul, who protested against
Mr.. Kruger using Portuguese territory
as base for directing his executive.
The French consul has been forbid.
den access TO Mr.. Kruger, as have also
the latter's own officials The district
governor has notified Herr Pott, the
Netherlands consul, that he can nc
longer be recognized as q representa-
tive of the Tranavaal, which is nov
British territory.
