BOER CRUELTY
ALIENATION OF DUTCH SYMPATHY LONDON, February 16. De Wet's action in shooting the peace envoys and that of the raider? in looting the homes of their friends in Cape Colony are having the effect of alienating Dutch sympathy from the Boer cause. Before the Boers left Calvinia they flogged several officials for not revealing their arms. They also flogged Magistrate Buk, and shot the native drivers. A number ot native drivers were captured and shot elsewhere. Colonel De Lisle was given a frenzied welcome at Calvinia, where the Boers' cruelty, vindictive exactions, and wanton destruction recalled the worst scenes of the early campaign in Northern Natal.
