LONDON, Dec. 12.-Lord Kitche-
ncr's promised statement specifying
thirty-seven separate instances in
which natives have been shot by the
Roers and which involve the loss OF
eighty-four lives has just been issued
by the war office.
In some of the cases mentioned the
blacks were shot after an informal
colYt martial or upon being accused OF
spying. but in numerous instances Lord
kirnencr indicates the natives were
Shot in cold blood in order to hide
traces of the movements of Boer COM
mandos.
The period covered by Lord Kitche-
ner's statement is over one year.
Lord Kitchener in dispatch from
Standerton, Transvaal Colony an.
nounces that General Bruce Hamilton,
after night march, surprised and cap

command at Trichard's Fontein. Seven
Beers were killed and 131 We're made

Brodrick, the secretary of State for
war; referred to Lord Kitchener's re-
port on the shooting of blacks by the
Beers. Mr.. Brodrick said this report
made it perfectly clear that these muir
ders were not committed in moments
of passion. but were part of an organ
izol system to cover the tracks Of the
enemy and to- prevent possible infor-
nation Of their Whereabouts.
Dealing with present aspects of the
war, Mr.. Brodrick said Beers had &C.
ceptcd parole and broken it and that
tlicrc would be no repetition of such
actions. Within recent weeks Bocr
commanders had shown less regard
for the laws of war than at any pre-
yious time, and these bandits would
before long reach crisis when they
could no longer be treated as belliger-
entS.
The speaker said the government
was for 10 half measures in securing
settlement and that any fresh negotia-
tuns must emanate from the Beers.
Mr. Hradlick confirmed the govern
mCnt's decision, already announced. to
break up the unhealthy concentration
Canps and remove the overflow of CON
CpntIados to the coasts. where attempts
would be made to provide them with
more permanent shelters.
