The Information which we get I'm this
country regarding the situation and
progress Of the war I'm South Africa Is
quite naturally apt TO be pro-Brltlsh, as
the British authorities have control OF
all telegraph communications, and the
news must come mainly through Brit
Eh sources 1t Is therefore OF Interest
20 receive report OF the situation
from n Bocr source, even though that
source Is hostile TO everything British.
Montagu White, the representative or
diplomatic agent OF the Beers In the
United States, has just returned from
Europe, where he met a number Of per
sons from the Boer nghting camps,
(which they quilted for legitimate rea-
sons as recently ms the end of January,
and others from Johannesburg and
Pretoria, from which places they have
been dcportcd by the British authorl-
ties. They one and all tell the same
story-namcly, that the Beers In the
field are dctermined TO fight on TO the
end unless their independence is rccog-
nized. Even the victims OF the recon.
ccntrado system, who are fed upon
