DEALING WITH THE ENEMY.
LORD ROBERTS'S PROCLAMATION. London, June 1. Lord Roberts has issued a proclamation granting immunity to non-com-batants. The privilege of returning to their farms is withheld from active promoters of the war and looters of property. Rigorous personal and pecuniary punishment is to be inflicted for the wanton damage done in many instances. There is a growing indication that the Free Staters entertain bitter'resentment against their allies for over-rannin" their country and them capitulating the moment the Transvaal was invaded. This feeling will it is thought, grately facilitate Great Britain's task of bringing about a settlement.
