the Dutch of Cape Colony.

Commandment Jan Rrige. of General
Botha's staff and Gen. Samuel S. Pearson,
Commissary General of the Boer army. are
in the city. General Pearson arrived yes
terday from New York. where he landed
on Sunday from Rotterdam. Commandant
Krige arrived last night. He reached New
York from Holland on Christmas day.
Commandant Krige was participant in
the Battle OF Modder River and in score
of other conflicts between the British and
Boer armies during the present war. The
Boer soldier is charged with no mission,
and instances the fact that he left Rot
terdam for America as a steerage pas
senger as evidence that he Is not dele
gated as the representative of the Boer
Government. He will remain in the Ma
tional Capital for a week, when he will
depart for the West. He proposes to visit
Western agricultural districts. to pick up
knowledge and experience which will ben
eft himself and his people when he Is per-
mitted to return to the Transvaal.
His presence in America is due to the
circumstances which separated him from
the Boer army, and prevented him from
rejoining it, and also a personal desire to
visit America. Commandant Krige was
one of those unfortunate soldiers whom
the fortunes of war deprived OF horses.
In September last he was with General
Botha at Hector Spruit at the end OF
the railway, in Boer territory, and at
the border of the Portuguese possessions.
The Boer army was hard pressed by the
British under Kitchener Butler. and
Pole Carew. when Botha decided to take
unknown roads in the effort to circumvent
the British. which he finally succeeded in
doing, cutting a route for himself across
forests to the northeast around Pilgrim
Rest and Leydenburg. AT this time Com
mandant Krige and 600 other burghers,
with the Utlanders who had no horses,
had orders to make the best possible de-
fence when attacked, and to pass over
into Portuguese territory when they found
Il impossible to evade capture. They were
to remain out of the reach of the British
until n favorable opportunity presented
for the resumption of the conflict, with
better equipment. The burghers were
finally compelled to take refuge in the
Portuguese territory. The Portuguese
authority al Lourenco Marques interdict-
ed their return TO the field of action. 1t
was in this wise that Commandant Krige
found himself unable to continue an &C
tive part in the defence of his country'5
liberties.
