THE BOER CONFERENCE.
London, June 5. I he Times' Pretoria correspondent says the resolution of the Vereeniging Conference authorising the signing of the terms of surrender, declared that Britain's insistence not to negotiate further but to dictate terms and also the reduced number of Boers in the field, with the impossibility of getting back the prisoners and the necessity for saving the existence of the race, compelled the relinquishment of independence. The Times says the irreconcilables were deprived of all justification by the Boer leaders, who recorded in the clearest terms their recognition that their • defeat was complete.
