ENTERED PRETORIA.
| HOW THE BRITISH -OOK OVER THE
TRANSVAAL CAPITAL.
|
| The London Times correspondent, | writing under date of June ruth, thus | describes the entry of the | troops into Pretoria:
On the morning of June 5the_ in- fantry of Pole-Carew’s division woke from their bivouac uncertain whether ‘or no the enemy was still in position on the hills in front of them. They had not heard of the surrender; but there was no sign of movement in the plain before Pretoria, and the forts | stood out solitary and deserted before ‘the rising sun. The news then pass 'ed down the line that Pretoria had | been evacuated during the night. The ‘leading companies ofthe Coldstream , Guards were pushed forwardin ex- | tended order to occupy the hills which | overlook the town, while the advanee | guard of the main body pushed through 'the country where the brick field lie. | Gen. Pole-Carew and his staff followed | the road which leads directly upon the ‘railway station. As the advance guard
appeared over the neka train was ‘seen to be moving in the station yard. |Although the burgomaster had sur- |rendered the town on the previous | evening, it was still necessary to ad- | vance with caution, as it was under- /stood that Botha had agreed to the ‘surrender of the capital with great re- luctarce. Thus, when a movement |was seen in the station buildings, a | halt was madeto allow the flankers to ito take possession of the hills im- mediately below the forts. This short delay lost us a train and two lecomo- tives, foras the staff galloped down towards the station a long entry train moved out. The escort did all they could to stop it. Lieut. Walker gal- lop.d for the signal box. Just as he dismounted a man fired at him point plank from the cover of some trucks. He climbed up into the box and pulled ‘down all the levers, anda section of ‘the Guards, which arrived at the | double, were just in time to stop a sec- ond train as it left the platform. Half a dozen shots were fired and Pretoria was British. It subsequently transpir- ed that these two empty trains had | been detained for the purpose of re- | moving the British prisoners.
British
An excited crowd gathered around | the station, and for a short pcriod we were not sure that the capitulation 'had been bonafide. Great uncertain- ty prevailed as to the fate ot fhe pris oners. ‘The railway officials were re. ticent and surely in the extreme, and it was impossible to elicit any informa- tion from them. But from a_ lady inurse [ was able to gatner that al- though some of the prisoners had been | removed by train on the proceding | night, yet the officers were still in pris- on at “Mudhill.” Findimg a man to direct me I rode through the tewn in search of them. No one seemed sur | prised at my presence. Men lounge! 'at the at the street corners | pipes between their teeth as uncon- ' cerned at if the arrival of an invading |was an everyday currence. It was | two miles to the prison, aud as Irode | up the avenue which leads to it I met |the prisoners themselves. The Duke | of Marlborough had been before me, and as soon as the imprisoned officers had seen a British uniform they turned ' upen their not unwilling guards, had | disarmed.them, and liberated them- selves. They were now trooping down into the fown, free at last after weary waiting. They looked pale and worn ‘andI missed the enthusiasm which ! , had expected. Perhaps I was too late i for it, or it may be that the iron to some extent had entered into their souls. the smart appearance of their uniforms. [ passed unto the prison.

The most striking point was,
builders to construct a chevil-de-frise, which had the appearance of being im- passible. At each corner of the en- closure was sentry boxes, while to pre— vent escape during the night elecirtc lights were so arranged that no part of the fence stood inthe shadow. The officers were quartered in a long gal- vanized iron building. It was divided into a sleeping apartment, dining-hall, with storeroom and offices. The sleeping room reminded one of a school dormitory. To kill the tedium of their forced inactivity many of the prisoners had constructed cubicles, while ali without exception had decor- ated their walls with prints and pictures from the illustrated papers. ‘lo me, straight from the veldt, this prison dormitory did not look uncomfortable, but lam told that it was bitterly cold and so drafty that a naked candle would not burn. This latter acccunt- ed for many curious lanterns manu- factured from biscuit boxes, which hung at intervals about the building. But as prisoners of war I no not think
that the British officers in Pretoria have much to complain of in the treatment which they received. The
scene at the gate when I arrived was extremely ludicrous. The soldier ser- vants of the officers had disarmed the guards, had possessed themselves of their Mausers, and were now mar- shalling their late sentries into the enclosure. The other prisomers were at Waterval, fourteen miles away, and they were not released til] the follow- ing day. treated well, the same cannot be said of the other prisoners. They were treated abominably. Their food con- sisted of mealie porridge and a scant ration oftea and coffee Once a week they were allowed a pound of meat. Little or no sleeping accommodation was given them except the bare cover- ing afforded by the tin shelters. If itghad not been forthe charitable spirit of the British subjects who re- mained in Pretoria they would have still been sleeping witheut mattresses and bedding other than that which they had with them when they were captured, The sanitary arrangements were so bad that no individual attempt at cleanliness couid keep the place clear of the vermin with which it had become infested.
MADE COMMANDANT A PRISONER,
It appears that on the preceding day nearly a thousand of the prisonersfrom Waterval had been reu.uved by rail te Middleburg. It has been the inten- tion of the authorities to remove the officers as well. About 2 o’clock on Tuesdey morning they had heen aroused by the commandant and told that they must be prepared to leave in two hours. The officers responded to this order by detaining the command- ant asa prisoner. His assistant who came in afew minutes later was similar- ly treated, and by dint of argument and good-natured protest these officials were induced to wait for more definite instructions. The feelings of the prison- ers can be imagined. Al! day they had watched the bursting of the Bri- tish shells. They knew that the burg- hers were in full retreat and that day- light would probably bring relief —the relief for which they had watched for months. Yet at the eleventh hour

a carts and wagons had been sent to _re-
| move them into a worse state of bond- age. All they had to depend on was the vacillation of their commandant and guards. Luckily Botha had left. Commandant Westerenk deserves well of the British nation.
I returned at once to the railway sta- ‘tion. Col. Maxwell's brigade had a!- , ready arrived and had taken over the | station from the guards and was sup-
plying pickets in the town. Lord Roberts was conducting the prelimin- ‘ary business of the surrender in the station master’s office, and I found that he was not to make his official entry until2 p.m. 1 glanced up at | Fort Klapperkop. When we had ent- | ered I noticed that the republican flag was fluating over it. The flag staff ;now was bare. But there had been | some skirmishing on the hills east ot ;the fort. A few of the stragglers of | Botha’s rear guard had fired upon | our troops as they picketed the hills. | From information gathered in the |town it appeared that the enemy had /removed most of their guns on the | previous day. As I had surmised, ‘the “big” gun which had been in | action against us had not been in the ‘forts. This gun had been removed ,late on Monday night by road. A | Patty of Montmorency’s Scowts and | Derbyshire Yeomanry were at once | despatched to pursue it. They fol- lowed the tracks of the gun for some |miles, and they came upon a rear | guard of the enemy. After desultory | skirmishing a portion of thisrear guard was captured. But the party was un- able to overtake the gun.
| When the infantry pickets took possession of the public buildings the people of Pretoria seemed to wake 'up to the fact that the invading army | had arrived. Crowds collected in the market square, and women appeared on the pavements for the most part dressed in holiday attire. The com- position of the crowd was _hetero- geneous; Germans and Hollanders predominated, and I feel confident that many of the able-bodied men

bers of the foreign sidered they had fullowed a lost cause and that the time for mercenary al- legiance had passed. Many made no concealment of the part which they had played, and stood in the streets with rifle and bandolier anxious to surrender to the first man in British uniform.
