The Poster Lloyd of Vienna says IL
learns from The Hague that Mr.. Kru-
ger, DR.. Leyds and Messrs. Vessels.
WOlmarans and Fischer have held a
council of war at villa Caracasa to
consider what answer is TO be made by
the Beers TO the executions in South
Africa. There is said TO be no doubt
among the Boer leaders that diplomatic
protests are inadequate.
All present at the meeting except Mr..
Kruger, says the report. advised imme-
diate reprisals; that for every Boer
prisoner executed captured British
officer be shot.
Mr. Kruger opposed this plan on the
ground that he did not wish TO give to
the campaign the character of a war
between savages, although II had al
ready become war Of determination.
The Cologne Gazette publishes from
its Johannesburg correspondent let
ter which highly praises the British
troops in South Africa. The writer
says:
"Of one thing every unprejudiced OBJ
server here is convinced. However Sc
we're may be the criticisms to which the
British army IS exposed in England.
every impartial observer here knows
that in the circumstances it has achiev-
ed all that could have been achieved.
II is doubtful If any other army could
have done more. From a financial
point Of view any other nation would
have succumbed TO the strain Of this
war"
The Cologne Gazette's correspondent
also commends the JohaU0osburg po-
lice, saying that they are equal in po-
liteness to the police of London and
adding:
