THE BOERS.
OPINION OF THE GENERALS,
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, Sept. 15. Two hundred Boers at St. Helena are signing the oath of allegiance daily. It is estimated that it will require three years to extirpate the glanders in horses and cattle in the Transvaal. Every military horse camp in South Africa is more or less affected. The Boer Generals urge irreconcilables to restrain the anti-British propaganda. They recommend a policy of reconciliation. They express a disinclination to lecture on the ground that they are unacquainted with European languages, and find it difficult to frame speeches with clearness. Fischer and others, replying to the Generals’ objections, quote the views of the French and German pro-Boer Societies that a visit alone, without delivering speeches, will not suffice to raise money.
