TO discuss the position and advisa-
bility of q continuation of the war.
Whatever the result of the peace ne
yotiations between Gen. Kitchener
md Gen. Dewet it is tolerably certain
that the rumors OF the inclusion OF
Gen. Dewet in any form of amnesty
are not based on fact. Gen. Kitchen
er's personal views of the Boer leader
are not known in Pail Mall, but if the
war office is consulted the officials
there would rather see Dewet killed
in action than taken alive. One OF
the officials responsible for the di-
rection of the affairs of the army said
to representative of the Associated
press: 81 cannot see how Kitchener
can possibly accept Dewet's surrender.
If he ever gets him he will be obliged
to try him for his recent alleged muir
derers of prisoners. 1 have no doubt
that the verdict of either a military
Or a civil court would be death and
if such verdict was carried out there
would be horrible howl on the con-
