STEYN STILL FOR WAR
CAPTURED BOER CORRESPONDENCE
MADE PUBLIC AT LONDON.
Reitz Was willing to Give In, but the
Ex-President Wanted to Hold
Out-Charles BOtha Killed.

LONDON, July 1s.-The War Office issued
late tonight dispatch from Lord Kitch-
ener giving the correspondence between
Mr.. Reitz and Mr.. steyn that was cap
tured with the latters baggage near Lind
ley July II. Mr.. Reitz. under date of May
TO- wrote Mr.. Steyn that meeting of the
Transvaal government had been held. at
tended by General Botha, General Viljocn
and Mr.. Smutz to consider the national
situation. He went on to catalogue the
difficulties. the numerous surrenders of
burghers entailing a heavy responsibility
on the government, the rapidly decreasing
supply Of ammunition, the disintegration
of the government and the lack of any
definite assurances of European interven-
tion I'm view of these facts" he said,
the government has decided TO address a
message to President Kruger pointing out
the terrible conditions. The time has
passed for us to let matters drift as at
present We must take a final step
Mr.. Steyn, replying May 15 upbraids Mr..
Reitz with weak heartedness, saying:
There is still sufficient ammunition to con-
tinue the struggle. You ask what prospect
there is of successful termination. / ask
what chance there was for two small re-
publics when they declared war against
the mighty power of Great Britain You
Will answer that we trusted in God and in
foreign Intervention. What reason is there
now TO place less trust in God? l have
seen recent European newspapers and
firmly believe that complications will occur
in Europe in the course Of few months
which will secure our good fortune
Mr.. Steyn also says the fact that Mr.
Kruger and the Boer delegates remain in
Europe coavinces him that they consider
the case not beyond hope. He adds that
he has summoned General De Wet and
urges Mr. Retz TO take no steps until he
has heard further from him.
The comments on the Steyn-Reitz corre-
spondence consider the letters most sig
nifcant as an official testimony to the en-
feeblement of the Beers, and they predict
an arly ending of the war.
