TO TREAT BOERs AS BRIGANDs.
Mr.. Chamberlnin's Statement In Re-
gard to Present War support.
etl-DOers to suffer Death Penalty
-Leniemcy n Thing of the Past.

New York, Aug. Recommending
upon the latest announced policy of
the British government in dealing
with the Beers, the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune says:
+. The statement made by Mr.. Cham
berlain in the house Of commons re.
Gently with regard to the war in
South Africa was received with loud
cheers from his supporters. The
prompt action of the government In
telegraphing. General Kitchener that
all Beers guilty of killing natives en-
ployed by the British forces were to
suffer the death penalty is generally
approved, although some people al.
feet to believe 1t will lead to further
barbarities by the Beers toward any
white prisoner that may fall into their
hands.
In any case, the policy of leniency
on the part of General Kitchener has
become a thing of the past, and
armed Beers will in future be treated
as brigands. There is much bitter
discussion in and out of parliament.
but the most reasonable view is that
the guerrilla warfare has reached the
state Of Decentralization where Boer
commanders can not be controlled by
either General Botha or Mr.. Kruger
1t has been expected from the outset
by South Africans that the final stage
Of the campaign would be character
lied by acts Of desperation ON the
Boer side. So intense is the desire
to have the campaign finished that
even the atrocities would be welcomed
by many II they could be convinced
that these were signs that the end Of
a deplorabe war was in sight.
