REIcHMAN ON THE BoERs.
he Describes What He Saw During His Stay
in the Transvaal.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 19.-The division OF
military information Of the War Depart
ment is preparing for publication reports
of different officers who recently have
had an opportunity to observe military
events and campaigns. One of these is
Captain Carl Reichman, Seventeenth in
fantry, who went from the Philippines to
South Africa. and for seven months OBJ
served the operations of the Beer army.
On his way to the Transvaal he stop
ped at Madagascar and says that the
French were doubling the garrison of that
island, perhaps in view of possible COM
plications with England"
When he arrived in the Transvaal he
met President Kruger, who asked him if
he had come. ito see the fight of one
against FIVE
The report of Captain Reichman deals
with the military conditions of the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State previous to
the war, the supplies and equipments of
the army and during the time he was
with it describes in detail all of the
engagements that came under his OBJ
servation. He mentions the fact that t~e
ages of the Boer soldiers was from 16 to
so; that the Transvaal army numbered
% All, and that of the Orange Free State
14S34.
In summing up his observations of the
Beers as people and an army, Captain
Reichman says that the Boer burgher is
not a soldier; he has not been trained as
soldier and his fighting methods are
the outcome of his environment and per-
sonal character. The Beers are a re-
served and digniied people and made few
comments, even when they heard of the
destruction of their homes and property
by the British. In the seven months he
was with them he became fayorably i'm
pressed with the Boer people as whole.
AS to the breaches Of civilized war, of
which they are charged, he says it was
due to ignorance. They are democratic in
their character and institutions. Much
of this portion of Captain Reichman's re-
port is represented by asterisks, showing
there has been Examinations in order that
no offense may be given to those he
criticises.
Upon the whole he found that very good
discipline was maintained in the Boer
army, and that the soldiers were equipped
with good arms and plenty of ammuni-
ton. Bayonets were not used.
Captain Reichmann says that volunt-
