AT MERCY OF THE TROOPS
CITIZENS ARE ARRESTED, FINED
AND IMPRISONED ON THE
SLIGHTEST PROVOCAT4oN
WOMEN ARE KEPT IN CAMPS
With Their Children, They Suffer
All the Evils of the Reconcen-
tradO Policy of the Brit
ish Authorities.

LONDON, April PA. T. Merriam, the
former treasurer of Cape Colony, and
VINO is now a representative of the Afri-
kanderbund in England, speaking at a
meeting of the League of Liberals to-
day, against aggression and m litarism,
said that military law the abnegation Of
all law, was established in Cape Colony.
The newspapers had not heard of the
treachery and espionage going on. Re-
spectacle people We're arrested on the
evidence of natives alone. They were
brought up and fined on harmless obser-
vatlons, called seditious, and the town
guards harried them. This treatment
caused greater irritation and indignation
than open violence. Four editors had
been sent to Jail. The fruits of this pol
Icy would be bitter, as the memory of
these insults burned the hearts of the
people. Dr. Merriman detailed instances
of the punishment of the Dutch under
military law, usually on the testimony
Of natives and employees He mentioned
an instance of a cheeky girl being fin
ed for saying things against the town
guards:
FACTS ARE UNKNOWN.
Martial law and the censorship
throughout Cape Colony prevented the
people of England knowing the har1snips
of the Dutch. AS an Englishnan, Mr.
Merriman said, he viewed the policy
adopted in Cape Colony with the blankest
d1smay. If persisted in South Africa Was
lost to the British empire. The only thing
that could save it was recognition that
the people wanted self government and
were determined to have it,
j. w. Sawyer, former commissioner of
public works of Cape Colony, said the
camps in which the Beer women and
children were kept, were guarded by SEN
tries with loaded rifles ana fixed bayonets.
A majority Of the women had been p!ac-
ed in them against their will Their
homes had been burned and their pos
sessions had been taken. He had tried to
get the military authorities through the
government of Cape Colony to permit 2O0
or 800 women and children, camped at
Port Elizabeth, to be liberated, food and
shelter having been promised them by
the town, but the military authorities
refused the request.
Resolutions denouncing the adhninissra-
ton of the crown government were
adopted.
MORE TALK oFy SURRENDER
NEW YORK, April M.-once again
peace. rumors are in the air, says the
lTribune's. London correspondent Mrs.
Botha has been in correspondence with
Lord Kitchener, and as a result it is be-
lieved that the British comma nder-in-
chief has agreed to receive the three
'Boer~ generals. Botha, Delarey and Vii
joen within the next few days. While
nothing is definitely known, it is, perhaps,
not without significance that the news
should reach London from Amsterdam
that Mr.. Kruger is afraid that Mrs.
Botha's efforts will cause her husband
to surrender.

REFERRED TO Attorney.
Question Regarding Record of Il Pro-
posed Subdivision.

The Commissioners have decided to refer
to the attorney for the District the request
of Daniel w. ODonoghue, attorney for
parties concerned, that the surveyor of the
District be directed to record the proposed
subdivision of lot II, McLaugh1in's subdi-
vision of part of Prospect Hill, or that the
inspector of buildings be directed to issue a
permit to build on a section of the lot
without previous subdivision. The deci-
sion to refer the matter to the attorney
was made upon the recommendation of Mr..
VIM. 2. Richards, assistant engineer, who
made the following report in the case:
THE lot desired to be subdivided is To-
Gated in very old subdivision, which has
been affected by the street extension plans
of the second section. In the first and
fourth sections a rule was followed to leave
out any proposed streets where they might
cross existing subdivisions. This was
brought about by certain declarations of
Congress affecting the first section plans,
and which was caused by the fact that the
extension of streets through subdivisions
could be handled better by separate acts
from time to time, rather than by any at
tempt to condemn everything at once In
sections two and three the streets were laG
out to pass through old subdivisions where
1t was deemed necessary, but no provisions
having been made for the condemnation OF
these streets it has worked considera BILE
hardship on parties holding land within the
proposed extensions. l believe that the APP
Dlication herein should either be granted
as to the subdivision of this lot else by
giving a permit to erect houses thereon"
1t was cOntended that lot II lies in the
path of the proposed extenon of list street
