A number of Hollander rebels captured by Buller on his march to Standerton have been sent to the Netherlands to be tried by their own Govt for breach of the declaration of neutrality. (This is, surely, lenient treatment.) It is stated that the Imperial Yeomanry, who first came under fire and distinguished themselves at Boshof, where a Boer commando was captured and Col. Villebois Mareull was killed, went into the final attack to the sound of huntimr cries, shouting • Tally-ho,’ ‘ Hoick forward,’ etc. Though Prinsloo and his 5000 followers surrendered to Hunter, the Boers say, unreservedly, that it was owing to Rundle that they were entrapped he frustrated their attempts to break South, and the Boers express admiration at the skilful tactics he brought against them. The ‘ material ’ assistance of the Dutch of New York with the Boer Peace Delegates (who got a most enthusiastic reception) was very small, comparatively. The accounts show that -1,120 dollars (of which 140 went in wine) were expended in entertaining the delegates, whilst the fund for Transvaal widows and orphans amounts to but 18 dollars 1 Buller has exhibited marked solicitation for the welfare of his forces, individual instances are gievn in support of this. One correspondent says : —• ft is not empty phraseology to say that Buller is the idol of the army—the now grim-visaged, hardened and mudstained army he led through the mountainous country of Northern Natal, through Alleman’s Nek to the foot of Majuba, and over the fiats of the Transvaal.
