Beers STILL ACTIVE.
AS Lord Roberts dispatches reveal tho
Beers are unusually active both in tba
orange Colony and the so-caIIed nacided
western Transvaal, but without produce
ing any serious impression upon the Brit
ish arms.
The bond leaders at the Cape are ex-
tending their boycott of British forms.
and Dutch companies with a2OO 600 capitai
have been formed.
Passengers arriving at Lourenzo
Marques on July 8, from Middleburg, say
there has been severe fighting between
the latter place and Machadodorp. in
which the Beers were defeated and demor
allied.
The Lourenzo Marques correspondent OF
Ile Dally Telegraph says under date Of
July 9:
Il understand that Mr.. Hollis, the
American consul here, has been recalled.
He is well-known pro-Boer."

The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Standard says under date Of July 9:

pen1ed for Johannesburg This, with the
fact that kilograms for Pretoria are re-
fused, causes uneasiness."
BOER PROTEST.
CAPETOWN, July AT a meeting Of
Afrikander women here today, called to
protest against the annexation of the re-
publics to the British empire and the pun
fshment of rebels. Mrs Olive. Schreiner-
Cronwrtght denounced the British policy
She said she was ashamed of her British
descent, and added:
IF the republics are annexed If the
Afrikanders are oppressed, peace Is i'm
possible, Every trench of Boer dead is
grave of England's honor Every bullet
making wound also finds bullet in the
heart of the English empire"
1t Is reported here that President Kru-
gers retention Of large amounts Of gold at
Machadodorp has created the utmost dis
content among the mercenaries, officers
and men. They expected substantial re-
wards for championfng the Boer inter-
ests, but have received nothing It Is
added that visiting foreigners, who have
subsequently advocated intervention are
believed to have received substantial
sums. Proofs of this 1t is asserted, have
been discovered in Pretoria, where there
are some startling developments.
