Fighters Bitter Toward Those Who
Surrendered.

Pretoria, July 16.-There is much
bitterness and discord among the
Beers in the Transvaal and the Orange
colony. Those who were in the field
to the end of the war are extremely
bitter toward those who surrendered
before hostilities ceased or who serv-
ed as British allies in any capacity.
1t is said that some of these British
scouts have been shot or beaten. So
intense is the feeling that many of the
burghers who fought consistently to
the end distinguish themselves from
those who surrendered during the war
by wearing green badge.
