Boer Forces Continue Operations

Lord Roberts has delayed his return to England on account of the continued operations of the scattered Boer forces. The latter are very active in the Kroonstadt district, and General De Wet has declared that all burghers who refuse to fight the British, will be made prisoners of war. They have torn up a railroad north of Bethulie, and captured a British outpost and scouting party. It is reported that Mr. Kruger, on his arrival in Holland, will meet the Boer envoys, and with them visit the different capitals of Europe to plead for intervention in South Africa.
