THE EX-PRESIDENT IN A PITIABLE CONDITION. HE ADMITS ROBERTS FOUGHT FAIRLY. "THE BOERS NOT NEARLY BEATEN." Press Association — Telegraph — Copyright LONDON, September 18. Four tvains of refugees huvo arrived at Delagoa. Foreign mercesarin destroyed several bridges on the Delugoa railway, and looted Komati Poort. Bennett Burleigh sought an interview with Kruger, who deputed Berdell, Transvaal Commissioner of Police, to reply. Kruger'a beard is white, and ho is suffering from an affection of the eyes. He looked shrivelled and pitiable. Within Kruger'B hearing, Berdell stated that Kruger had left tho Transvaal for an indefinite time. The burghers were compelled to fight to the last or face oeing sent to St. Helena or Ceylon. Lord Roberts has fought fair and square, but it was a great injustice to expel Boer women from Pretoria. Time would prove that the Boers were not nearly beaten. They might possibly be conquered, but never subdued.
