With the disciplined troops Of the British

1t has been roughly estimated that every
BOer soldier cost the British Government
$50 900. The Boer leaders, Of course came
higher. Gen. Joubert repeats remark
made on this point by W. T. Stead when he

Asked concerning the present condition
Of the Boer peoples, Gen. Joubert said,

They are gradually settling down to
farm life again and are patiently waiting
for England TO fulfil the terms Of the treaty
under which we laid down our arms. The
British Government sends out poor material
