Kitchener Makes Threat Against
Those Transvaal Burghers Not
Surrendered by September IS.
MUST ALSO PAY FAMILIES EXPENSES.
The Maintenance of the Dependent Ones
of All Burghers In the Field Will BE Re-
coverabIe and Shall He a Charge Upon
Their Property. Removable and Immov-
able, in the Two Colonies.

London, Aug. 10.-A parliamentary
paper has been issued, containing the
proclamation issued by Lord Kitch-
ener Wednesday in accordance with in
structions from the imperial govern
ment, the governments of Cape Col
only and Natal concurring. The proc
lamation says:
All commandants, field cornets and
leaders Of armed bands. being burghers
OF the Iate republics and still engaged in
resisting his majestys forces, whether in
the Orange Colony. the Transvaal or
other portions of his ma aJesty's South
African dominions, and all members Of
the late governments of the Orange Free
State and Transvaal. shall unless they
surrender before September 15 be perma-
nently banished from South Africa The
cost of the maintenance of the families
OF all burghers in the field who have not
surrendered 10y September 10 shall be re-
coverable from such burghers and shall
be a charge upon their property, remov-
able and immovable, in the two colonies
The reasons for this proclamation
are set forth in a preamble which
states that the British forces are and
have been for some time in full pos
session of the capitals, principal towns
and entire railway systems; that 81, 900
burghers. exclusive of those who have
been killed, are either prisoners or
have submitted to British authority:
that the burghers remaining in the
field are isolated and without arms
or ammunition, but continue to plum
der or destroy property, thus keep
ing the country in state of turmoil
and checking agricultural and indus
trial pursuits and aimlessly prolong-
ing bloodshed and inficting ruin up
on a great ma jority of the inhabitants,
who are anxious TO live in peace
The papers comment approvingly
upon the proclamation. Even the
Westminster Gazette says there is no
fault 10 find with it, nor is there any
objection to make on the score of JUS
tice. Ii thinks. however. that il is ex-
tremely doubtful if il will have any eff
feet i'm shortening the war. Most of
the fighting Beers are already com
pletely ruined and nothing distrains
them owing TO the devastation of the
country. The Globe says the procla-
nation is as judicious as it is drastic
and that the only question is whether
IL is strong enough, adding: But even
the widest pro- Boer cannot find fault
with il on the score of inhumanity. 1t
has long been obvious that such a step
was imperative in order 10 avert ruin
from the inhabitants desirous of peace.

Value of a woman.H Services.

A curious case has just been settled
in the probate court at Abilene. For
12 years a woman lived with her hus-
band on the supposition that she was
legally married to him. After his
death it was discovered that he had
former and undivorced wife living in
New York and his New York wife had
no trouble in establishing her claim
to the mans property. Thereupon the
deceived woman brought claim against
the mans estate for remuneration for
wifely services. The court allowed
her Just $1,000 for the u years. thus
giving legal sanction to the belief
that wife around the house is worth
a few cents over $s3 year.
