ROBERTS RAIDING
THE B0ER FARMS

LONDON, August 19.-The way the
South Africa war drags out
wears upon Englishmen and no
news would be so welcome as that some
we'll wisher Of the Transvaal had con-
vinced President Kruger that nothing
in Europe or China will make Great
Britain relax her ever tightening grip
on South Africa. Everybody in the
army, or who has anything to do with II
in South Africa, wants to come home
and is heartily sick of the whole thing.
But, knowing that it must go on to a
finish, the dregs Of war are leaving some
bitterness. The plot to kill British of.
ficers at Pretoria is taken in England
as showing the savage temper of the
Beers, while the Britishers are reported
to be doing some things which are pro-
voking adverse comments in great Brit
ain. Thus the Standard prints pre-.
toria dispatch dated August g., saying:
"The Beers sniped train at Bronx
hurst yesterday on the line between
Pretoria and Middleburg. Two Of
it's occupants were woundsd. In ac-
cordance with Lord Roberts warning,
all the farms were fired within a radius
OF ten miles "
Even the English papers say there
must be a mistake somewhere. A couple
Of Beers fire at train, perfectly within
their rights, as warriors, and every farm
house with ten miles in every direction
is committed to the flames.
They are in favor of treating the Beers
now in arms as mere banditti, instead
OF soldiers, and they argue that the pa
cifcaton of the country will be indefin'
itely postponed unless drastic ex-
amples are promptly made.
They say that snipers, train wreckers
and burglars found in arms after taking
the oath OF allegiance should be prompt
ly shot and their property confiscated.
The fact is, Englishmen are beginning
to lose their temper over the irristating
delay Of the Boer war, and Lord Rob-
erts, If his own prudence and sense Of
justice would permit, might adopt a
rigorous policy of repression without
beng condemned by public opinion at

vast and magnificent column, and then

In the evening the spectacle was re-
peated. In the latter instance, the sun
was shining in the west as the huge
column Of water broke for its descent
from its enormous height and the out
side spray tinged with myriad colors,
made dazzling spectacle.
In each instance the report was like q
huge cannon fired in the distance. In
each blast 500 pounds of powder was
used. The powder was placed into po-
sition at the base Of the rocks by Fritz

all was ready the tug steamed away to a
