Fight Back.

Paris, Aug. "a dispatch from
Amsterdam says Mr.. KTuger's coun-
eillors fully approve OF the determine
ton Of Kritzinger, the BOer command
CT in Cape Colony, to shoot az Kafirs
found serving In the British army,
whether armed or unarmed. They say
that at the beginning Of the war
party of BasutOs and Swazis offered
to help the Beers, but Mr.. Kruger and
BIr. Steyn refused their assistance on
the sole ground that in the interest
Of the whites it was necessary to keep
the blacks outsied the struggle, al
though the British had already &C
cepted black help. The British pol
icy Of enIisting Kafirs, Mr.. Kruger's
councillors say, is teaching the natives
to know their power, and is endan-
gering every lonely farm. 1t may III
timately result in a general rising Of
the blacks outside the struggle, al
blacks understand nothing Of the
usages of civilized warfare, and are
used chiefly as spies. The Boer coun-
eillors say, therefore, that the only
way to stop what they call the unfair
and Ubiquitous British practice is to
shoot the blacks. If the British re-
taliate by shooting Boer prisoners,
then the burghers win treat English
prisoners In the same way.
No Mercy for Beers.
London, Aug. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain informed the house of
commons that, owing to Beers kill
ing noncombatants and natives, the
government had telegraphed to Gen.
Kitchener instructing him that any
persons found guilty Of this Offense
must suffer the death penalty. He
added that Gen. French had been or
dered to communicate these instruc-
tions to COmmandant Kritzinger and
other Boer leaders.
