The Boer Generals.
A manifesto issued by Berlin Reception Committee describes General Botha as the thinker, General De la Rey as the winner of battles, and General •De Wet at the South African Blucher. The manifesto States that the Generals are coming for help, not for revenge. The signatories include the Court poet Wilderbrach. Professor Hearrlich, in a letter to the “ National Zeitung,” traverses the manifesto recently issued by the Boer Generals in detail. The manifesto, he says, had alienated British sympathies and inflamed Anglophobia. Herr Barth, a Liberal. Deputy, writes similarly to another newspaper. .
The subscriptions towards the Boer funds in Holland amounted to .£11,500. General Botha, speaking a Zwolle, near Amsterdam, warmly eulogised Mr Kruger and Mr Steyn. He bore testimony to the former’s absolute integrity. He referred to the concentration camps in language not calculated to remove false impressions.
