THE CAPE DUTCH RISING.
JOINING THE BOERS IN LARGE NUMBERS. '
LONDON, December 3.
A Reiiter's message states that General Buller's recent warning that the poverty of disloyalists would be confiscated acted as a restraint upon the Dutch farmers, but that the younger portion of the inhabitants on the border have joined the enemy in greatly increasing numbers., The aspect of tlie colony elsewhere is healthy, and the feeling is hopeful.
December 4. (Received Dec. 4, at 10.40 p.m.) There are extensive disloyal areas in the vicinity of Colesberg, Burghersdorp, and Middleburg. Two thousand at Venterstad alone responded to the commandeering. Mr Barnard, a member of the Volksraad, has been killed in action.
