London, July 22,
The official staff and numerous relatives at present in Pretoria sijrrounded the deathbed of Mrs Krnger.
A Belgian and two German doctors had latterly been in attendance.
Although informed of his wife's illness, Mr Krugor was dumfounded at hearing of her death and burst into tears. He asked to be left alone. He had frequently spoken of rejoining his wife.
His friends say that the only tie binding him to South Africa is broken, and many anticipate it will have a disheartening effect on the Boers still fighting.
Mr Kruger, in a note published in the Brussels Press, declares he informed the burghers that international complications were possible, but intervention hopeless.
