INSIST ON SURRENDER.
Countrymen Of Boers Ask Then, to Give
Up the right.

A C%apetown, January \, dispatch
says: The central police committee at
Kroonstadt has issued IA circular, in
the course of which it says:
1.-The time has arrived for the inhab-
itants Of Orange River colony TO make
an effort to save the country from fur
ther destruction. The country is lit
orally a vast wilderness, The farmers,
ruined and facing starvation, are
obliged TO go to the towns for protec-
ton, and huge refugee camps have
been formed by the British for them.
This is caused by an obstinate minor
ity, who will not bow to the inevita-
ble."
The circular points out that the
British will never restore independence
to the republics, and urges upon the
burghers the duty of surrenderiDg and
accepting n terms offered. The re-
sent Afrikanker congress at Worcester
is criticised in the circular as ''mislead-
ing the Beers and giving false impress

The matter which is uDpermost in
the mind of Sheriff Krcadcr and some
of the other county officials at this
time is the whereabouts of a certain
ten dollar note which il was hoped
would be very valuable evidence IN
connecting Mrs. w. ID. Williams with
the robbery. This was given to Emil
Iahn, a brother of the dead man. a
couple of days ago to take to Snyder
that it might be identified by the bar
keeper in Iahn's saloon. 1t was bad
ly worn and had been pasted together
by means of a piece Of bright red
paper. For this reason IL could be
identified easily. The bill was found
concealed OF the person Of Mrs. vii
liams, together with about Si5, when
she was brought to Jail. On the way
