Charles D. rierce. the Orange Fre State consul general. lui! given out a statement by by his brother. Pi. t De Wet. This let ter urges General De Wet to surren der to the British forces. Command ant Snyman says: "I notice that' the British censor i very ready to trunsmit this letter al most In Its entirety, although any fa voruble news Is very rigidly curtailed. Next let us consider the relationship between the brothers. P. De Wet was assistant commandant-general of the Orange Free State and took part in numerous battles. It was at' Sand River, when outllanked by General French, that General De Wet gave In structions for us to leave our positions and fall back on Kroonstad. "When P. De Wet and I rode from the general, to carry out orders to start the convoys with guns and ammunition, I then gathered from him (.P. De Wet) thut he was against proceeding any further than Knxmstad; and Instead of going to the appointed place he branch ed off with his commando to his farm near Lindley. which was the last time I saw him. "We were then ordered to concen trate, our forces at Rool Kopjes and naturally P. De Wet received similar Instructions; we heard rumors that he was communicating with Lord Roberts to surrender, rumors which were re- to tne innt at once, ana on nis retusat dismissed him and appointed Command ant Rouse In his place. P. De Wet then with his staff, four In all. went to Kroonstad and surrendered. "We then heard that he was sent a prisoner to Durban. Now, to, my sur prise, I learn that he is a peace com missioner to Lord Kitchener. Does It not seem strange that now, when Lord Kitchener is proposing to send the pris oners to India, a man like V. De Wet. who has held a high position pmong the Boers, should be used as a peace en voy to help the British unless some consideration has been given or pre m ised. "It also seems strange that P. De Wet should now advise surrender, con sidering that he was the first to cross Into Cupe Colony and persuade the colonials to Join their brothers and leave the 'responsible government which he now advocates for the repub licans. "This letter also says let us 'educate our children. Here I would like to remind you that the Orange Free State, with Its free compulsory educa tion for the last fifteen years, Is far In advance i( Cape Colonyvy. whlor has etlll the, voluntary si-stemi I if , ;. i P:"The letter goes on to-fifAnat tne' Bntlxh have the country and are not likely to give It up. It does not fem so, when Lord Kitchener has cabled for ?,0,0oQ more troops. After all, what part of l!m two countries does the Brit ish actually hold? Only the towns along the railroad. As to the taunt In regard lo the Inactivity of the Tranxvaal burghers, why, If Botha an I his commandos are doing no fighting, Is Kitchener keeping M.0O0 men at Pretoria? "J am Inclined to think that this let ter, like the book of Mr. Paul Botha, Is of lirltisli manufacture. "Knowing my people as I do, I fay here thtt It do's not He In the power of President Hteyn. General I Wet or any other person, to surrender uncondi tionally; this Is a war for the, by the people, not by generals and presi dents, and can never be ended except by unanimous consent of the burghers. Under present circumstances, why should the Boers give up? They have lost everything, all they can no- gain Is their country and freedom, for which they are lighting and will fight tj the end."
