PRETORIA, TRANSVAAL, June A.
The BALLOT Of the Beers at vereeniging
resulted in fifty four votes in favor Of
surrender and six against it.
Preparations are being made here for
the surrender Of the Boer commanders,
which will take place on the race course.
All the Beers are allowed perfect free

There will be Thanksgiving service

in which it is hoped the Beers will par

The women in the concentration camps

General Baden-Powell is arranging for
the distribution of mounted constabulary
III various districts. The police, rail-
roads and telegraphs will be handed over
to the civil authorities as soon as pos
sible and the restrictions of marital law
will be gradually relaxed.
The Boer representatives. who during
the peace negotiations, were stiff and un-
friendly are now extremely cordial ana
friendly The commandments are return
ing to their commanders to explain their
situation. General Louis Botha, the Boer
commandant-gene has written an open
letter to the burghers. thanking them
for their obedience in the past and ex-
horting them to be equally loyal to their
obedience to the new government.
KIND WORDS.
Lord Kitchener, at the peace meeting at
vereeniging told the Boer commandments
that if he had been one of them he would
have been proud of the work they hao
done in the field He created a most
favorable impression.
The departure of the Boer command
ants from Veereniging for their various
districts was marked by remarkable
scenes of differentiation. The trains
bearing the Beers started late. and the
night being extremely cold. the sentry
along the railroad track lighted huge
bon fires around which groups of Beers
and Britons gathered, forming a. highly
picturesque scene. The late opponents
Joined in such songs as Hard Times
Come Again no More" and "Old Folks
at Home the British soldiers and the
Burghers out-vieing one another in their
demonstrations Of joy. In brief, the
scenes at the departure of the trains re-
semhled nothing so much as the start
ing of huge picnic parties.
The same signs Of rejoicing were wit
messed throughout the Rand. Flags were
displayed everywhere and thanksgiving
services were held in all the towns.
Generals Botha and Delarey and other
Boer leaders will start for Europe short
" for the purpose of raising funds for
the distressed burghers.
General Schalk-Burger. who was act
ing-president of the Transvaal, joined
General Botha in addressing an open let
fer to the burghers. After referring to
the courage which they had displayed
and to their brave deeds in the field, he
called on them to work together for the
social and spiritual advancement of the
country.
