They are Indignant That He Should
Desert the Country.

LORENZO MARQUEE, October 10
Mr.. Kruger was taken secretly on
board the Dutch cruiser Gelderland at
o'clock this morning. This vessel will
take Mr.. Kruger to Holland.
The reason given for Mr.. Kruger's Sc
Cret embarkatiCn was that he feared the
Beers here would attack him. The feel
ing of the refugees against Kruger for
fleeing from the country is very strong.
The party drove through the custom
house and embarked from the custom
pier instead of from the passenger jetty.
1t is reported that the Gelderland will
sail tomorrow.

way and cutting the telegraph and tele-
phone wires. Their attacks are intoler-
able The repairing linemen cannot
leave tine garrisoned forts without con-
siderable escorts. The only remedy
seems to be to corral all the bur ghers
and deport them, Is apparently none
can be trusted.
