SATISFACTORY REPORTS.
THE CONDITION OF THE BOERS. AT THE END OF THEIR RESOURCES. WITHOUT FOOD AND. AMMUNITION. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received June 7, 12.43 a.m.) London, June 6. Official messages from Pretoria show that everything is progressing favourably in the various districts and the situation is in every respect satisfactory. Boers, at a British peace dinner at Bloemfontein, toasted Mr. Chamberlain amidst much cheering. Three commandos near Heidelberg on Monday, and others elsewhere, begged the British authorities to give them food. One leader told Mr. Bennet Burleigh, the well-known war correspondent, that unless peace had been declared they would have been compelled to kneel and sue for peace, as they were without food, horses or ammunition.
