THE BOER SURRENDEREES. THANKSGIVING SERVICES. United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph — Copyright. (Received June 9, 8.55 *.m.) LONDON, June 8. Commandants Oom Meyer and Hans Botha, with eight hundred and fifty followers, have surrendered to General Bruce Hamilton, who welcomed them as British subjects, and allowed them to join their relatives in the Heidelberg district. Most 0? them were clothed in leather and sheepskins, and looked tired out, though, their horses were fit. Lord Kitchener reports that four hundred and forty Boers have surrendered at Middelburg. They brought in a pom-pom, and indicated the hiding-places of a howitzer and a Maxim. Two hundred and eighty-nine Boers have surrendered at Standerton, and two hundred and fifty-five at Cradock. Two hundred and nineteen of the latter are rebels.
