(per press association.)
Received this day at 9 14 a m. London, February 13.
Field-Cornet Steynberg, a loyalist of Graafieint District, offers to bring fifty landowners to join the Defence Force to resist invading Boers. Before evacuating Potrusburg, the British destroyed supplies in town, collected 3,500 horses and cattle and took them to Kimberley. London, February 10.
Kruitzinger is still retiring north-east. Two hundred Boers at Oatlands Station, South Graafreinct, fled on the approach of the British and abandoned many horses, saddles, and rifles. The Burghers of the Orange Kiver’Colony are everywhere indignant at the barbarity of Be Wet shooting the envoys of the Peace Committee. Milner and Lieut-General Forestier Walker, inspected 7,000 Capetown City Guards, including the Artillery, Cavalry, and Cyclists. They warmly complimented the Guards on their appearance.
Colonel E. 11. Davies of Now Zealand has recovered, and resumed duty.
