MR KRUGER. Before crossing the frontier Kruger, addressing the French Transvaal Independence Committee, said that since arbitration had been their watchword he hoped for the friendly mediation of the Powers in favour of peace. Justice would soon follow the reiterated charges of barbarous conduct against the British although he thanked Lord Roberts for the consideration shown his family. He reached Cologne at midnight. He had no official reception although there was some cheering from persons present. A CONTRADICTION. Prominent Dutch ladies, after visiting the women's camp at Port Elizabeth, telegraphed to the Dutch papers that the charges of inhumanity and brutality brought against the British were untrue. They were completely satisfied with the treatment <he Boer women were receiving. AGGRESSIVE OPERATIONS. The Boers were twice repulsed at Boshof. The British occupied Lichtenburg. | Major-General Knox is in touch with De Wet at Atafelberg. A strong special corps shortly sweeps Swaziland, where Joachim Ferreira is entrenched. The strictest defensive precautions are being observed at Bloemfontein, where the Boers chase farmers close up to town. Famine is compelling large batches of Boers to surrender in south and eastern Transvaal.
