draft of the agreement, l read them a
statement and gave them copy of it, as
follows:
"'His Majesty's government must place
on record that the treatment of the Cape
and Natal Colonists who have been in re-
bellion, and who now surrender, will, If
they return to their colonies, be deter
mined by the colonial courts and in ac'
cordance with the laws of the colonies,
and any British subjects who have joined
the enemy will be liable to trial under the
law of that part of the British empire to
which they belong.
ellis Majesty's government are lntor'
med by the Cape government that their
views regarding the terms to be granted
to British subjects in Cape Colony, now
in the field, or who have surrendered or
been captured since April II, 1901, are as
follows: With regard to the rank and file,
they should all, after surrender and giving
up their arms, sign document, before
the resident magistrate of the district In
which they surrender, acknowledging
themselves guilty Of high treason, and the
punishment to be accorded to them,
provided they are not guilty of murder or
acts contrary to the usages of civilized
warfare, shall be that they are not entitled,
for life, to be registered as voters, or vote
in any preliminary or provincial council
or municipal election.
"With reference tS justices of the peace,
field cornets and all others who hold
positions under the government Of Cape
Colony, or WHO have been occupying a
position of authority, or who have held
commands in the rebel or burgher forces
they shall be tried for high treason before
the ordinary courts of the county, or such
special courts as may hereafter be con-
stituted, their punishment to be left to the
discretion of such court, with the proviso
that in no case shall the penalty of death
be inflicted.
"The Natal government are of the
opinion that rebels should be dealt with
according to the law of that colony"
These arrangements, concluded Mr.
Balfour, "the government have approved.
Sir Henry Campbell. .Bannerman, the
Liberal leader, in behalf Of the opposition,
said unbounded satisfaction would be felt
throughout the empire at the conclusion
of peace. They we're unanimous in ad-
miratlon of their late enemies, now their
friends and fellow-citizens, whose military
qualities, tenacity of purpose, and self
sacrificing devotion to liberty and coun'
try had won them the respect of the
Whole world, and, foremost of all, the re-
spect oftheir opponents. Every member
would offer congratulations to the King
and to the country on the thrice-blessed
restoration of peace.
Mr.. Balfour having announced that the
government would take an early opportu-
nifty of moving a vote of thanks to Lord
Kitchener and the forces in South Africa,
the members of the House Of Commons
returned to their ordinary avocations.
