CHILLING RECEPTION OF THE MANIFESTO.
DISCLAIMER BY THE GENERALS.
London, September 27.
The manifesto which the Boer Generals have issued appealing for funds for Boer widows and orphans met with a chilling reception on the Continent.
Some French and several German newspapers declares that it must be understood that any subscriptions are purely for charity, and in no wise aimed at Great Britain.
The Generals declare that they are astonished at the bad effect their mani festo has produced in Eugland. They had no intention to wound the feelings of the British people.
Information from Boer sources shows that Dr Leyd3 was the real author of the manifesto, which the Boer Generals merely signed.
Generals Botha and De la Rey, in addressing meetings at Groningen, in Holland, deprocated the singing of the "Volkslied" (Transvaal National An-
them).
Mr Reitz's daughter has started for
America.
