SOUTH AFRICA.
BRITAIN AND BOER. Received February 15, 8.30 a.m. CAPETOWN, February 14. General Botha has sent a message to the British people, declaring that British supremacy is safer in the hands of the Boers than in the hands of cosmopolitan capitalists. After the Vereeniging treaty of peace, King Edward was the Boers' King, and the British flag was the Boers' flag. The | Boers, General Botha adds, entertain no hostility towards the mines. The talk about wholesale repatriation of Chinese is nonsense. Nothing will be done to embarass the mines regarding unskilled labour. General Botha is prepared to accept English as the compulsory language.
