THE BOER GENERALS.

General De Wet is pressing Dr Leyds for documentary proof regarding tne promise alleged to have been given by M.

The Corporation of Limerick will bestow the Freedom of the City upon 1 lie Boer Generals.
General Lukas Meyer’s funeral has been postponed for two months. Possibly the body will be buried at the Cape.
