BOERS FAST COMING IN.
I0.225 Surrendered to Date-Many Boys
 and old Men.

Pretoria. Wednesday, June 11.-In all, 10,225 Boers have surrendered up to date. Many are youngsters of eleven years old and upward The majority of them are under thirty, though some of them under 30, though some of them are septuagenarians Gen. Dewet says the youngsters were his best fight CTS, and frequently held positions after the old burghers cleared out.
 Reports from all the districts say that the burghers are increasingly friendly. The only bitterness observable among the leading Boers here is against France and Germany. They declare the war was prOtracted unnecessarily, owing to hopes held out by the French and Ger man press. Some of the Boers are so incensed that they have expressed the hope that some day they will fight on the side of the British against one of these powers.
 The Boers of the Orange River colony of their ammunition. They explained that they used most of it in hunting game since the peace greement was signed.
 Addressing the surrendered Boer sare Kroonstadt, Orange River colony, Gen eral Elliott said the only wish of King Edward, his government and the Brit fish people was to help the burghers and get them back to their farms as soon as possible. The king, the general added, had telegraphed congratulating the burghers on the good stand they had made. This announcement was greeted with lusty cheers for the kind and for Lord Kitchener.
 The anticipated friction between the surrendered Boers and their former comrades of the National Scouts has not materialized to any extent.
 The Boers admt they received ammu- milton through Portuguese territory.
