PRESIDENT

An interview had by a correspond.

President Kruger Feb. 10, at Pretoria, had been printed. At that time Pre- sident Kruger was described as show- ing but little evidence in his counten- ance of the tremendous strain he was undergoing. The complexion of South African affairs, however, has changed considerably since then.

He was dressed, says the corres-

front of which was sprinkled with to- bacco. He smoked a pipe during the whole interview.

“This war was forced upon us by Cecil Rhodes and the mining millions who want the country,” said the Boer President. The Boers yielded as far

as possible, until they saw that nothing but complete surrender of their in-} dependence would satisfy England. Having been forced into the war, the , Boers will conquer or die.

‘“‘l expect no aid from other nations, but we are glad of sympathy and friendship. The Transvaal is willing to make peace at any time, but we want no more conventions. Only absolute independence is possible. We do not want any more territory, but are con- tent with our present frontier if we are permitted to live peacefully. This is all we ask.

“The Transvaal will stipulate in the peace terms that the Natal and Cape Colony Dutch now fighting with the Boers shall be regarded as belligerents and suffer no loss of property. I re- cently learned that some of these men had been captured by the British and were been tried at Cape Town charged with treason. This Government cabled Lord Salisbury stating that if such men were not treated as prisoners of war we would make reprisals of the British prisoners held here. Lord Salisbury replied threatening if we injured a single Britisa prisoner they would hold me personally responsible. I suppose he meant the British would hang me. The Transvaal Government replied to- day informing Lerd Salisbury that they despise his threats.

“There is no truth in the story of a conspiracy among the South African Dutch. This is not their quarrel. The Orange Free State is bound by treaty to aid us. Mr. Schreiner repeat- edly urged us to yield. It is too early to prophesy the outcome of the war or its duration.

“The Boers are in God’s hand, and he will not let us perish. Our total fighting strength is forty thousand, but with God’s aid we can prevail. I have two hundred blood relatives fighting, and would rather see them all perish than yield. It is liberty or death.”

The Daily Mail special frem Lady smith says what appeared to be a grave was opened recently, and was found to contain a large quantity of ex plosive bullets and other ammunition The find will probably cut an import ant figure when the time comes tor a final settlement.

An officer who took part in the Dreifontein engagement tells a patheci¢ story of the death of a young married Dutch woman, aged 19. Before her death she stated that she was detained when the majority of the other women left, because her marksmanship wa: so accurate. There are undoubted evidences elsewhere that women went to the trenches to load second rifles for the men, thus carrying out the traditions of early Dutch warfare. The deserted camps were found littered

with female apparel.

fect of kind treatment, which was total-

ly unexpected, and therefore, all the |

more appreciated by him, led him one day into a recital of the events !eading up to the death of the Khalifa and his own capture. He said that on the fateful morning when they were sur- prised by the Egyptian forces under Col. Wingate, he was commanded to get all the stores and women and retire, so that, in case anything should hap- pen, the treasure (?) should not fall into the hands of the “Turks.” Osman obeyed orders, but it was apparent to him from the first that there was no hope, and as it was impossible to take

©} away ofr save the women and stores,

he ran away by himself. He states he ran for five or six miles without halt- ing, and did not stop to take food all day. In the night he halted for an hour only and then again ran. He suffered terrible after crossing the Nile, both from hunger and thirst, and at one time thought he was about to die. Foy three days he had nothing to eat but a few herbs, and he was complete- ly exhausted when he arrived in the mountains for which he was making, having covered the whole vast distance on foot. In this mountain, he asserted he would have been perfectly safe but for treachery of a man who had hither- to always been his best friend. This traitor—and Osman’s eyes fiashed as he mentioned his name—-tovk advant- age of Osman’s hunger to sell him to the enemy. Under pretence of hold- ing a “fantasia” in honour of Osman’s arrival, he killed two sheep and while his triends entertained him, ran off to give information. Asked if he were sorry that at last he had fa lea into the hands of his enemies, Osman replied: “No! Itis the fortune of war, and 1 am prepared to meet by fate,” been evidently under the impression that he was to die. On arrival at Cairo the Sirdar wished to speak privtaely with him, and for that purpose the carriage in which he was brought up from Suez was run into a siding. Osman watched this performance with much trepidation and steadfastly refused to leave his seat. He finally asked to see the com- mander of the steamer which had brought him from Suakin, and on

He asked later what religion the commander of the steamei professed, and when told that he was a Christian he replied, | sadly, I am so sorry he is a Chritian for he looks like a good man.” The Sirdar and officers present shook hands with their crptive before he left for Rosetta, where he is to stay. I under- stand he will have comparative free- dom, bnt will be required always to rest in the same building at night time, under guard, along with the other Emirs cartured by Col, Wingate. It woutd be interesting to learn what Os- man told the Sirdar. It is quite pos- sible he has imaprted some valuable information as to the mysterious trea- sure said to be buried somewhere in the Soudan. In any case Col. Win- gate left for Omdnrman the day follow- ing his interview with Osman, aud it is quite within the bounds of possibility that the secret of the hiding place of the treasure has at last been revealed,
