road with prayer after President Kru-
,,ors ultimatum had been read to that
bodv. is in this city. His brother, DR..
u 7 Won Bruckhuison of the Orange
Eree State. who served In the Boer
armies. accompanied him. Their mis-
cion in this country is to raise money
for the Boer women and children now
in refuge camps.
Rev. Won Bruckhuison said in an in
+erview: "Our women and children
who are at present concentrated in
camps established by the British, are
in horrible condition. 1t was bad
enough when l left South Africa. but |
know from letters that | have received
one only the other day from my sis
+or-that it is a hundred times worse
now"
When the doctor left South Africa
he said he was virtually banished by
order of General Maxwell, military gov
ernor of Pretoria.
DR.. Won Bruckhuison said further of
the camps: "In an official report made
by DR.. Donald p. Mckenzie of the Brit
ish army on February Is of this year
the British government is notified that
the conditions are horrible, the death
rate appalling and the food furnished
unfit to eat"
The Afrikanders, DR.. VonBruckhui-
son AYERS, will never be overcome and
all reports to the contrary are false.
The Boer army numbers from $4,000
to 1900 men, and is constantly being
augmented by Cape Colony Beers. The
Boer forces are now armed with Lee
Metford rifles, he says, and have tons
of ammunition buried, which they can
use at any time against the British.
