THE BOER DOWNFALL.
The following article is from the pen correspondent of The London Daily. Mail, who has sent
that journal regular letters from Pre- toria since the outbreak of war, Mr. Story has been a warm Boer sympa-
thizer from the start, arid has not hesi tated to espouse the Boer cause in the most emphatic manner, his letters be ing printed in The Mai! with a view to giving its readers the benefit of the other side of the question. It is noti- ceable that in the present letter the sympathies of the Writer liave, to say the least, undergone a severe strain, his teferences to Kruger being now full of bitter denunciation, wherea formerly he spoke of himin terms of enthusiastic laudation:—
Pretoria, Tune 10.—War is an_ ugly thing. anda_ pseudo-patriotic war is the ugliest war of all. It is ugliest at its dissolution.
At such a time, then, it is some what ofarelief to look forward to prospects of settlement. A month ago these were dim and distant. In the frail hope of Britain’s complication in some miraculous derangement abroad, the burghers avowed themselves deter- mined to carry the last fight into the uttermost parts of the republic. In their hearts they were treasuring up a sullen hatred, to lie burried there until the time of England’s adversity—the day of Boer resurrection.
For six weeks they had brooded— brooded deepiy over their supposititios wrongs and their illusory courage. Fed on carefully selected extracts from the continental newspapers, they believed themselves the admiration of Enrope- the one courageous Siate capable of dis- puting the advance of covetous empire They would fight till God in very sham would come to their assistance. They were very valiant in these uneventful days when Lord Roberis lay prepor- ing for the end in Bloemfontein,
[hen began the debacle. It com- menced in Pretoria, in the centre place of the affections, by the pleasure of their President, Paul Kruger. Lord Roberts left Bloemfontein on~May 1 ‘he Volksraad met on May 7. Generals left their forces to make a
| quick run to the capital and there re-
cord their presence in the last momen- tous Parliament. Everywhere it was understood the session would be a very short one and a formal. Theday for talking had ended, and only physical orce might avail to save the republic. In these circumstances the demand for a secret session came as a shock. Only the most vital interests of Siate could justify an instant’s. delay in pa- laver. The country held its breath until their identity sheuld be discover- ed.
And then came the first, uncleanly exposure.
Paul Kruger demanded authority to sell certain undermining rights by pri- vate negotiation for a couple of mil- lion—rights that were worth, by the lowest competent computation, twen y millions of money. Itwasa job, a dirty unwholesome job. A group f French financiers, prompted and en couraged by Dr. Leyds, had planned acoup. Their agents thronged the stairways, and President Kruger had chosen this moment of national cris:s to tender their request.
The Raad sat aghast ac tve intend- ed treachery. Old and ersiwhile com- placent members rose against their President. They had stood beside death for menths past fig ting for their national inheritance, 2nd now it was to be frittered away to those who had plotted and schemed for months to the rhythm of the Dead March. By heaven, no! They would refuse to return to the front, they would bring their sons and their relatives back. They would end the war, but this un- holy measure should not pass.

The President pleaded and stormed. The Raad sat adamantine. The Gov- ernment needed the money. Where were the three millions of gold extract- ed fromthe mines since the war be- gan lhe Government decided to pay the burghers for their services in the field. It was false, the burghers wanted no pay; they wanted their country intact, not further defaced by the foreign speculator. And, in the end, the sea-green corruptible had to retire, grudging his repulse through grinding teeth.
The Generals and Commandands went sullenly back to their troops to te'l how men who fought were sold by those men who raked the ashes of the national reputaiion in Pretoria. But they had no ime for speech. They met the burghers in full flight iomeward. A Government job had knocked its last nail shrewdly into the coftn of the dying republic.
Once th2 Government had lost dig- nity in the struggle, the ruin was rap- id. Paul Kruger and his colleagues
| threw off every disguise and wrought
oniy to amass gold. The Government buildings were rancid with the crowds of perspiring Jews begging for pay- ment of their accounts. Day after day, at all hours, I saw the same com
pany of trained sand anxious seekers after the money they had earned, much of which was already on its way to Holland. None received gold; some few received a check payable in National Bank notes recently made legal tender by the Government.
Meanwhile the Delagoa Bay Raul- way was busy. One morning I sawa quarter of a million privily consigned to Flushing. Other mornings equally large sums in bullion aud bar gold
vent seaward down the line. The Government had of late paid no one,’ itthad the prceeeds of eight monthse working ef the richest mines in th mint, and the President c'utched with ye green of an aged p:asant at the country’s money bags.
faen can? the last days. On Mon- day, May 28, every thing was ready for the depariure of ihe President and the Government. He and they had gathered every available asset. On the Sunday evening £80,000 had been collected from the Johannesburg banks, and that evening £20,000 was raked together in Pretoria by the in- defatigable State Attorney Smuts and the Treasurer-General, Malherbe. The Secretary tothe Secret Cabinet was able to start that evening with £200,- ooo. But the President and the men bers of the Government remained an- otner day. There was business still to be done, and Lord Roberts was en- gaged with Johannesburg.
All day Tuesday the Treasurer- General’s office was thronged with officials demanding their pay and checks for their eight months’ deferred salary. Old Malherbe sat stolid hv his money, paying every man with a check or a bundle of Treasnry bills. They were curious things those Treasury bills—the subterfuge of a miserly Gov- ernment. By Law 1, 1900, the Ex- ecutive was empowered to issue $1,000,000 Treasury bills, bearing in- terest at 6 percent. payable in ten years, he total loan to be reduced by $100,000 every first of June ; $80,000 of these were issued.
The bills were issucd under guaran- tee of the fixed properties of the State. and could be employed only for tie eitiement of the Government’s in- ternal debts. I have not been able to dis- coverihat the Government ever took tine precaution to issue a bond over its fix- ed properties to cover thisloan. If it omitted to do so, the bills are utteriy invalid.
Miserable clerks, drawing salar‘es of £200 and £250a year, had been living from hand to mouth for mont’1s on 75 per cent of their annual wage. They were paid with Treasury bills I know of entire departments where

Next morning Gov- ernment checks were “referred to drawer,” and the poor officials faced famine with a bitter hatred of Kruger and his clique in their hearts.

MR. RHODES AND KIPLING’S
BREAKFAST.
Here isan amusing story which is told of Kipling by Cecil Rhodes, After the siege of Kimberley they were both staying ata beautiful little Dutch farm, the home of one of Mr. Rhodes’ managers. One morning early the flag was hauled down from the flag- staff, probably by some rebels, and the manager was so afraid lest Rhodes’ keen eyes should notice it that he hurriedly begged the,privilege of show- § ing hima round the fruit farms before breakfast. Mr. Kipling, who was in a dreamy mood, stayed behind. But dreaminess presently gave place to hunger as time -vent on, thefflag was hoisted, and Mr. Rhodes did not ap- pear.
On their way home Mr. Rhodes and the manager were surprised to come acros3, on every tree they passed, big placards bearing in bold, black letters, such sentences as “Famine, We are Starving, Feed Us;” and this sort of thing went on until they gotto the front door, where they found written in still more startling type:
FOR THE HUMAN RACE BREAKFAST) PURIFIES THE MIND—1NVIGORATES THE SYSTEM. IT HAS SUSTAINED THOUSANDS. IT WILL SUSTAIN YOU. SEE THAT YOU GET IT.
And inside, too, on every available wall and door tiere were placards get- ting stronger and stronger until they came to“Why Die When a Little Breakfast Prolongs Life?” “It Is Late.” “It Is Still Later.” Until at last they came to the little room where Kipling cet waiting for /his breakfast, innocent but ghungry. It was, of course, the sharacteristic work of the author of ‘Stalky and Co.”
