Free State, called upon Secretary Hay
at the state department Saturday and
had half hours interview with him.
AS in the case of the other Boer rep

he came in a private capacity and not
as diplomatic representative. Unlike
the preceding callers, he did not adj
dress himself to the subject of inter
vention or mediation, nor did he
breach the subject of mule shipment
in South Africa. His sole concern was
with the concentration camps in South
Africa. He told the secretary a pitt
full tale of the sufferings of, and fright
full mortality among the reconcen-
tradoes, the death rate among the
children in the camps running as high
as so per cent, according to his state
