THE WAR.
Received January 21, 4.30 p.m.
London, January 20. According to 180 prisoners brought from Standerton, the Boers recognise that their independence is gone, but persist in fighting because their leaders insist.
Botha is 20 miles east of the Ermelo blockhouses. He is in touch with several groups, but there is no cohesion elsewhere.
Commandant Wolmarans, recently taken prisoner, expresses a contempt for the Boers in Europe living at the Republics' expense, and sending optimistic reports, knowing they are false.
