CONSEQUENCES OF REFUSAL.
New York March 2O--A dispatch from
London 70 the Herald gives an inter-
view with d. Erasmus. son Of Gen.
Erasmus Of Pretoria, on the probable
consequences Of Gen. Botha's refusal
to accept the terms Of peace. He said:
The English public for some UNI
known reason, has looked upon the war
all along as mere child's play, notwith-
Standing the lessons which II received
IN the commencement Of the war. Four
hundred Beers are quite sufficient to
harass the entire army for an indefinite
period In the district north Of Pretoria.
Regular cavalry cannot operate
there. II Is deep sand which gives the
poorest foothod Owing to the fever,
the British can operate but six
months IN the year. The Beers from
childhood have accustomed themselves
TO this climate and can stop there
without much harm.
IN foreign countries people who are
trying to make mischief out OF the
English reverses read In them a dis.
grace to the British army. But / can
assure those pretended friends OF my
people that II they had 10 do what the
British are now trying TO accomplish
they might have done very much worse
or succeeded less well In lighting"
Inc Beers he said, can get plenty OF
1000 horses and ammunition. As an
alternative for Sir Alfred Miner as a
nesotator With the Beers Mr.. Eras,
mus suggests that England should send
some impartial Englshman, free from
a. party feeling Lord Kitchener's
name Will not go either He has been
