THE BOER WAR.

[by electric telegraph—copyright.] [Per Press Association.] London, July 24. The Times states that Colonel Allenby reports the presence a few days ago of a thousand Boers at Kroondvaal, near Xrugersdorp. The surrenderors confirm the report that all the - Boer leaders intend to make one more dash south. Lord Kitchener reports that on the 21st ' cheeper's commando captured and burned a train bringing 113 details and stores from Capetown, eight miles north of Beaufort East. Three Boors were killed and eighteen wounded, A full inquiry into the incident is proceeding. Kruitzinger, at dawn on the 21st. attacked Crabbe’s 300 in the Cradock Mountains, and Crabhe’s horses stampeded. After iigotiug till day Crabbc retired to Mortimer. The casualties are slight The Committee of the Imperial Liberal Council resolved to favor the vigorous prosecution of the war, and general amnesty of the rebels was impossible until the termination of hostilities. The charges of barbarity against the British arc unfounded. The pro-Boer Demonstrations Act directly prolongs the war. The attempt to identify the Liberal Party with the pro-Boer cause is dishonest.

The committee and resolutions adopted represent the majority of the Liberal Party.
