LIBELS ON THE ARMY. CONTINENTAL CALUMNIES. fOUL ACCUSATIONS. INTERVENTION. A BOER OFFICER'S OPINION. United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph — Copyright. (Received Jan. 4, 9.14 a.m.) LONDON, Jan, 3. The Continental calumnies of the British. Army have been acutely revived. Especially the German newspapers make monstrous accu«itions. They state that the soldiers and officers ravished one-third of the Boer women and children, who were also handed over to the Kaffirs. These statements are based on the authority of alleged eye-witnesses. There is intense indignation in Britain. Commandant Snyman, formerly on De Wet's staff, in an interview with President Roosevelt, declared' that England would welcome a congress of intervention to end the war, and that the Boers were willing to make seine concessions.
