Proclamation Based on Suggest
ions by Natal That Oovernment
and Cape Colorfy'e Concur.
n.f Kxeln.lve Wire from The A'loeiated Pre
London, Aug, !. A pioclamatlon Is
sued by Lord Kitchener to the Hoeis
In arms on August 7, demanding their
surrender on pain of confiscation of
ptoperty and permanent banishment, is
published in a paillamentnry paper Is
sued today. The pioclamatlon was
made In accordance with Injunctions
from tlio Imperial government The
governments of Tape Colony and Na
tal concur. It Is based on suggestons
forwarded hy the government of Natal
to Colonial Seetetary Chamberlain on
July 24. The date of sut render, Sep
tember in, was recommended by Lord
Mllnor. The teason for It Is set foi th
In the pieamble nn follows:
Whereas, The late Orange Tree State
and South African republic have hern
ai nexed to his majesty's dominions;
and.
Whereas, MM majesty's forces ate
and have been for some considerable
time In complete possession of the .seals
of government of bo.th the afoiesald
teriltorles, with their ptibll.' oilltes mil
the whole machinery of administration,
as well as of all the principal towns
nnd tho whole of tho rallw.cs; nnd.
Whereas, A groat majority of the
buighers of tho two lal" iopulilrs, to
the number of 35 000, exclusive of thieve
who have fallen In war. aie now either
prhonei.s or have submitted to his
majestj's government, and ate living
peaceably lu towns and camps undr
coutiol of his majesty's forces, and.
Whereas, The hurgheis of the late
tepubllcs still In aims aie not onlv few
In number, but have lost almost all
their guns and munitions of war and
aie devoid of regular military organ
ization, and ate. therefore, unable to
cany on legular vvaifaie or to offer
any oiganlzed iestanee to his mnj
ostv's fences In any part of the coun
ti v and.
Whereas. Tho-o buighers who aie
still In anus, though unable to carry
on tegular warfare, continue to make
isolated attacks upon small posts and
detachments of bin majesty's forces,
to plunder or destroy pioperty nnd to
damage railway and telegiaph lines,
and".
Wheieas, The countiy l.s thus kept
In a state of disturbance, hocking the
tesumptlon of agilcultutal and Indus
trial inn. suits, and
Wheieas His majesty's government
Ifi determined to put an end to a tnte
of things which Is aimlessly pinlong
Ing bloodshed nnd destiucllon, and In
lllctlng ruin on a great majority of the
Inhabitants who aie anxious to live in
peace and earn a livelihood for them
selves and their families; and,
Wheteas, It Is just to proceed agalnt
those utill resisting, and especially
against those poisons who, being In a
position of authority, aie ieponslble
for tho continuance of the present
state of lawlessness, and are Instigat
ing their fellow -buighers to continue
their hopeless resistance to his mnj
eptv's government.
Therefore I,ou! Kltcheaer It-sues his
pioclamatlon providing that all com
mandants, field cornets and leaders nf
armed bands, being burghers of the
late lepubllcs and still engaged In re
sisting his majrflt's foices. whether In
the Orange colony, the Transvaal or
other portion of his majesty's South
African dominions, and all members of
the governments of the late Orange
Kieo State and Transvaal shall, unless
they surrender before September 15, be
petninnently banished from South Af
rica The coat of the maintenance nf
the families of all burghers In the field
who have not surrendered by Septem
ber 15 shall be tecoveiable from such
buighers and shall be a charge upon
their property, removable and Immov
able, lu the two colonies.
The nf tot noon newspapers comment
approvingly on the proclamation of
l.oul Kltchenei. i:ven the Westmin
ster fJazetto says there Is no fault to
be found with It nor Is there any oh.
Jectlou to make on the -enr of Justice.
It believes, however, that It Is ex
tremely doubtful If It will have any
effect In shortening tho war Most of
the flgihtlng Tloeis nre ruined and
nothing dlstrans them, owing to the
devastation of the country.
Tho Olobo says the proclamation Is
as Judicious ns It Is dratlc, and that
the only ciuffitlon Is whethei It l.s
strong enough It adds "Not even
the wildest pio. Hoop can find fault with
It on the scote of Inhumanity. It has
long been obvious that such n step
was Imperative In oider to avert ruin
fiom tho Inhabitants desirous of
peuce "

CONSUL CU-DGER'S LETTER

Open Conilict Between Two Coun
tries Feared.
Hy ttilmlto Wire fiom Ihe .'woclated Prr.
Washington, Aug. 9. The situation
In Colombia and Venezuela continued
to occup.i much of tho attention of nffi.
clals heie today, and while It was not
felt that nlTalis had i cached a eilous
aspect, jet It was nppinltcd that both
the olllclitl and tinofllclnl ocKlccs Indi
cated a condition of affairs which
might mean war between Colombia
Venezuela, complicated by icvulutlon
tuy outbieaKs In both nmtittlcs. Dui
lng the clay the state clepaitmcnt tc
cclved a rathei length mall communi
cation fiom Consul (ieiieial Cuclgoi, at
ranaiiui, and though this was dated
neatly a month ago, It told of the land
ing of a i evolutionary expedition, and
cxpiessed the cm lent belief held at
Panama that this would be followed
by other expeditions. The department
also lecelved a lettei fiom Mr. J. i:d
ward Simmons, of New York, prenl
diut of the Panama uillinad, confirm
ing his cniiimiinliatlou of vesterdny
dative to the tumble on the Isthmus
nnd stating that thi superintendent of
the road baci advised him ns to the
clepiedntloiiH of an Insuigent band,
which did not nuinlici, however, much
over fifty men
Sorioua Aspect.
Tho moie serious aspect of the mat
ter wns piosonted in the pies dis
patches fiom W'lllem.stnd, stating that
the Colombians again had Invaded
Vcneziiel i. Theie wan no ollki.il con
tinuation as to this, but If It should
prove coriect theie seems little clianco
of avoiding an open conflict between
these two countiics, ns such an In
vasion by Colombia would be In itself
att act of war. Hut tho iiuthniltios heie
piefer to take n conservative vlevv of
the situation until ofllclnl aih Ices aie
In hand. When Inriuliy was made ai
to why our olllcials at Hogota and
clscwhete did not end full lufoimation
cm the subject. It was stated that these
olllcials weio not theie to communicate
news, but onli to ndvlso thl govern
ment as a piellmlnaiy to any oflkial
action which might become necetisaij.
At the navy department no futthtr
stops weie taken towuul sending ships
to the Isthmus Jt was decided defl
nltelv, hoivover, to send the battleship
Wisconsin down to Kan Diego, Cal,, In
caw the dcsliuhlllt of that move be
came evident by the time sdie icached
San Kiancisco, and the state depait
ment was so advised. Theio was i-oma
coiunient also as to tho pomlbillty of
sending clown some of tho ships of the
Not tb Atlantic squadum, but Actlnp
Secret.uy llackett treated the.se sug

no doubt, however, that nn ample foi is
