two points are lines OF barbed wire and
q series of blockhouses that amply sup
piement the natural features for de-
tense and form an almost impregnable
wall. within which most OF the Beers
are kept at bay.
Nearly or quite the whole OF Natal
as well as the Cape Colony region, Is
cleared. but within the entanglement
line are such important places as
Bloemfontein. Harrismith, Bethlehem,
johannesburg and Pretoria. while
Mafeking, Vryburg Kimberley and DE
Aar are on the line of environment.
What the British commander i'm chief
calls the area of main resistance" lies
chiefly in the northeast roughly speak
ing, from Bloemfontein 10 PETERSBURG
Other sections are so nearly cleared of
the Boer belligerents as TO be relatively
safe, and still others TO the southwark
are considered wholly safe. But the
Beers have a habit now and then of ap-
pearing in places where they are least
expected, seeming TO know by instinct
the lines capable Of least resistance and
! breaking through them with astound-
ing audacity.
General Louis Botha, the Boer COM
mander in chief. has been so frequently
adverted to during the past two years
that further reference to his admirable
qualities would seem superfluous. He
first showed great skill as a guerrilla
| fighter, but developed wholly unsus-
pected qualities OF greatness as the
successor of the i'll fated Joubert and
/, has won the admiration not only OF all
| the commandants under him. but of the
| rank and file Still he has TO have their
acquiescence in any proposition for
peace. and they are OF at least as stern
stuff as himself. At the peace inter-
| view" of last year. by the way. Botha
perpetrated little joke at Kitchener s
expense which the latter long remem-
bered. A fruitless conference was held.
and at it's conclusion Botha said:
| "well, so long; I must be going"
| "But why hurry?" asked Kitchener.
"You have no train TO catch"
That's just it, responded Botha SOL
emnly II have got to catch train"
| A few days later. when IL was report
| ed to Kitchener that Botha had not
only caught. but looted. a train on the
| Delagoa railway he remembered the
latter's statement and acknowledged
| that the joke was on him. Since that
| time Botha has caught several British
| trains and obtained much needed sup
plies. despite the blockhouses, search
lights and armored cars, supplemented
by the barbed wire entanglements and
hosts of soldiers guarding the inclosing
4 lines.

~ and rumors Of wars, : 80 of late
~ Il has been mystifed by peace
news and rumors OF peace. The
h Did report has been revived that
Rotha. the Boer commander IN chief. has
expressed hls willingness to surrender
and sent word to Lord Kitchener to that
effect. But that report was current
nearly. year ago. and IL was then even
declared that Botha had surrendered,
but subsequently the report was found
20 be without foundation in fact. The
Boer war still drags its weary length
along. and the sturdy spirits in South
Africa still keep up the fight.
BY the latest accounts the Beers had
in the field little over 10000 men, di-
vided into about a dozen commandos.
under guidance OF such leaders as Botha,
De Wet, Muller, Delarey Steyn. Schalk-
burger seasoned veterans all. who are
animated by the highest convictions II
not by the highest hopes. Their deter
mination has been well expressed by
the noble wife of DE Wet who said her
husband would die sooner than surren-
der. and she hoped all the other leaders
felt the same way.
II cannot be denied, however, that
the outlook for the Beers is less prom
Using than IL was a year ago and still
less so than two years ago. To be sure.
the fighting force now In the field Is
stripped to the waist, so TO speak, and
Is operating without the customary i'm
pediments attendant upon an army
lighting near it's home and fixed base
OF supplies.
The fighters have cast overheard or
got rid of all their superfiuous non
combatants. and OF their original exec
utive committee or council only two
are left in South Africa. Steyn Is still
alive. and very much alive. having per-
sistently evaded capture, though on
several occasions within an ace OF be-
ing taken by the ever vigilant British.
or the old leaders Generals Koch and
Joubert are dead and Cronje is a pris-
oner at st. Helena General Botha being
his legitimate successor. probably his
equal I'm strategy and his peer as
urave and intelligent commander In
chief.
IL is said that thirteen out OF the
twenty-seven original members of the
first volksraad are either dead or miss
ing. and an equal diminution is report
ed in the second. Three heads of the
Boer state department are in Europe,
two have been made prisoners, four
teen have surrendered and one Is miss
ing.
The captured noncombatants, the wo-
men and children, are gathered in con-
centration camps, where they are sup
ported at British expense; the farms
are destroyed. the houses burned; the
formerly flourishing republics are
wastes and so desolate that. to use a
current phrase, IA crow would have TO
carry his rations with him IL he un-
dertook TO fly across the territory"
There remains now but one thing 10
fight for, and that is a negative conces.
sion--the privilege OF remaining within
the confines OF the country formerly be-
longing to the Beers; in other words,
nonbanishment. Negative privileges
are not to the taste Of those fighting
Beers. and il is not generally credited
that they will consent to beg for them
now any more than in the past.
