REPORT OF RECENT CON FERENCE OF BOER GENERALS AND THE COLONIAL SECRE TARY. London, Sept. 10. A parliamentary paper issued today gives a full'repcrt of the recent conference between the colonial secretary, Mr, Chamberlain, and the Boer generals, Botha, De-Wet and Delarey. Prior to agreeing to the interview which the Boers asked for August "20, the colonial secretary re quested a list of the subjcts which it was desired to discuss, and the gener als forwarded a list of several subjects, including the following: Complete "amnesty to the rebels. A yearly grant to all Boer widows and orphans and maimed 'burghers. Equal rights for the English and Dutch languages in the schools and courts. The equal rights with the British be conceded to burghers complying with the terms of surrender, including the right to return to South Africa. The immediate release of all prison ers of war. The reinstatement of the officials of the late iSouth African republics or compensation for their loss of office. Compensation for all Joss occasioned by the British troops by the use, re moval, burning or destruction, by other means of all private property. The reinstatement of the burghers in the ownership of their farms confis cated or sold under the proclamation of August 7; 1901. Compensation for the use of the properties , of ' burghers taken by the Payment of the lawful obligations of the late South Afrian republics, in cluding those incurred during the war. The rescinding of the decision to add a portion of the Transvaal to Natal. Granting an extension of time for the payment of all debts due 'by the bur ghers to the late- governments of the South African republics. Mr. Chamberlain, in reply, expressed great surprise at the number and har acter of the proposals, pointing out that the conditions agreed on at Ver niging were duly accepted by the burghers and the British government, and that they could not be reopened, nor could proposals rejected at that If ever you needed a FILTER it is right now!

Boyce 11 South Court Square. time be again onsidered.,-: If the inter pretation of the agreement was open to question, - his 'majesty's government ould endeavor to remove all doubts. At the opening of the conference the r generals cUsclaimed any desire to allay .the terms of surrender in any way. On the subject of amnesty to rebels, General Botha expressed disap pointment that after the promise given by Lord kitchener, the rebels had not been granted amnesty at the time of King Edward's coronation, in reply ,to which Mr. Chamberlain promised that the imperial government . would not hinder any generous intentions of the governments of Natal and Cape Colony in regard to rebels. - Ae to the return of burghers to South Africa, the colonial secretary de clared that.it was the government's in tention to retain the right to prevent the return of disloyal persons who had not frankly accepted the terms, of peace, instancing former (State Secretary Reitz of the Transvaal as a case in point, and saying that Mr. Reitz was using language on the continent inconsistent with the declaration he had signed at Verniging. , General Botha said doe hoped that the "sins of one man would not be visited. on others," adding: "If one man says foolish things, let him suffer therefor alone." Mr. Chamberlain informed the gen erals that there was no truth in the report that the government intended to ell farms belonging to the bur ghers. Regarding some farms sold in the Orange River colony under the proclamation of August 7, 1901, Mr. Chamberlain promised that the farms bought toy the government would be re- THE PRESIDE transferred to their former owners. General Botha criticised the' composi tion or the commission appointed to al lot the grant of 115,000,000 (for the purpose of assisting burghers and their families to retire to their homes and for restocking their farms, etc.,) and he objected to national scouts serving as commissioners, but Mr. Chamberlain maintained that the government must be true to those who supported it. Relative to the transfer to Natal of part of the Transvaal, General Botha said the burghers proposed to . trek therefrom. He lived there. But he saw no chance of remaining, the feel ing of the British in Natal being so strongly anti-Boer. On. the subject of martial law, Mr. Chamberlain said it would not be con tinued much longer. The colonial secretary refused to rec ognize as burghers foreigners who had been naturalized during or just before the war, saying that they had been bribed by the resolution of the volke rad giving the burghers rights as a re ward for taking part in a conflict in which they were not concerned. General Botha concluded with an ap peal for the widows and orphans and said he considered that an appropria tion of $15,000,000 Was inadequate. Replying to this, Mr. Chamberlain compared Great Britain's treatment of the Boers with- the treatment of the south by the north after the civil war in America. "I would remind the general," said (Mr. Chamberlain, "that we have under taken already more obligations than have ever before been undertaken under similar circumstances. To take one case in my time, I recollect very well the great civil war in America, and I appeal to that because that stands out as a case in which more than ever be tfore, or indeed, ever since, the victor, the conquerer showed a generous feel ing to the conquered. There was good reason, for this, because they were brothers of the same race, the same religion, the same, everything. It was a civil war, tout even in that case the northern side, that is to 'say the vic torious side, made no provisions what (Contlnued on eighth page.)
