ALL ARE PLEASED.
Disarmament of Beers Is Proceed
ing Satisfactorily.


London, June 10. - The war office has
received the following message from
Lord Kitchener, under yesterdays date:
1.-THE disarmament of the Beers is
proceeding satisfactorily and satisfac-
ton expressed everywhere. Up TO yes
terday 4,622 rifles had been received"
Dispatches to the Associated Press
from Pretoria confirm the statements
made in Lord Kitchener's communion
ton to the war office and say that the
" hole staff OF the late Transvaal gov
eminent, with a bodyguard of sixty
men, surrendered last Saturday.
The following formalities are OBJ
Sc rived when Gen. Botha, Gen. Dewet
or any of the Boer commanders ac-
company the British officers who are
detailed to receive surrenders:
The Boer leader goes to meet COM
mando and returns at it's head. The
Beers who comein are generally dressed
In DiIapidated Clothing,
but have a smart and soldierly bearing.
Those who are to surrender are assem-
bled and the Boer leader delivers an
address to his men, urging them TO
listen to the British officer who has
been detailed on this work. The Brit
ish officer then makes a speech to the
men of the commando in which he in
forms them Of the admiration or
King Edward and the British nation
for the Boer resistance and the bravery
Of their people, and that the authorities
will do the utmost to enable them TO
title on their farms. A meal is pro-
vided for the Beers after which the
formal surrenders occur. In many
such instances the Beers have cheered
King Edward and they have some
times expressed surprise that no army
was sent out to receive their surrenders.
The majority of them appear TO be
glad that the war is at an end and that
they will now b able to Join their
families.
Americans Among Them.
Among the men who surrendered TO
the British authorities at Balmoral'
Cape Colony, were four Americans,
who will be granted free passage TO
Delagoa Bay.
A striking sign OF the altered condi-
lions in South Africa is that Lord Mil
ner. the British high commissioners, rode
from Pretoria to johannesburg last sat
urday accompanied only by two stan
officers.
A few OF the Boer women still inveigh
against surrender, but general feeling
among them is In favor Of making the
best OF the situation.
Throughout the dominions OF the
British empire, and especially In all the
principal towns In South AFRICA.
thanksgiving services for the return OF
peace were held yesterday. Lord
Kitchener attended a thanksgiving SER
vice at Pretoria at which 5000 British
troops were present.
