THE BOER WAR.
[I'EK PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.]
London, August 14 The Boors in the Orange Colony arc suffering from a g-eat scarcity of food. Commandant Beyers was dangerously wounded in a recent engagement.
A pro-Boer Frenchman, after interviewing the Boer leaders in Holland, assures the Paris correspondent of the Times that all excepting Kruger, who is sublimely stubborn, were absolutely discouraged by Mrs. Bothais report as to the state of affairs. Hr. Leyds and other leaders had made up their minds to the inevitable.
An armored train repulsed a band of train-wreckcrs at Naboomspruit on Saturday, killing ten. Commandant Pretorious died of the wound in the eye inflicted at Kotzespoort in July. 100 Boers were prevented crossing the Klip Drift at Modder towards the Cape.
Plumer sent the New Zealanders in pursuit.
